It can feel uncomfortable at first, but that’s often part of growth. Talking about them in a place where you feel safe helps you process them and release them instead of holding them in.
Some people start feeling better in a few weeks, but it depends on circumstances and what comes up during the sessions. I aim to work with you in the fastest way possible but that looks different for everyone. Progress in therapy is shaped by the therapist, the client and circumstances. There are so many variables involved that overpromising can do more harm than hope, as no single promise can capture that complexity…
The first session is mostly about getting to know you. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’d like to focus on.
Not at all, sometimes people come in simply because something feels off but they can’t point their finger at it. We can explore it together and see where it leads.
That’s totally okay, “feeling the feeling” is part of getting better. You don’t need to apologise or hold back, my space is meant to hold whatever comes up.
Everything you share is confidential. The only exceptions are if there’s serious risk of harm to yourself or someone else, or when required by law, but we would talk about that before any action is taken.
You can find more information about confidentiality in the Disclosure Statement in the Policies section.
That’s understandable, and it’s okay to be cautious. We can take things slowly, talk openly about what hasn’t worked in the past, and make sure you feel safe.
That’s completely okay, if at any point you feel that I am not a good fit, there’s no pressure or time-bound contract. It’s important that you find a therapist who feels like a good match.
Then we look at what’s missing and try a different way. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all; sometimes a small shift in focus or approach can make a big difference.
It feels a bit like daydreaming.
Some people feel calm, others notice a busy mind.
No, you stay fully in control the whole time. Hypnosis is simply a state that helps your mind be more open to change. You won’t lose awareness (and definitely won’t turn into a chicken)
Completely. You stay in control the whole time. You can talk, move, or stop whenever you want.
Most people can experience hypnosis. It tends to work best when you’re open and curious, and it’s always a collaborative process, not something done to you. Even if you’re unsure or sceptical, we can still work effectively and adapt the approach to suit you.
Sessions take place via secure video, from a private space, with the same professional and confidential framework.
Yes. For many difficulties, it is equally effective. The therapeutic relationship matters more than the physical setting.
Clinical hypnotherapy works effectively online when delivered by a trained practitioner, using the same principles as in-person sessions.
Sessions are structured, guided, and conducted in a controlled and ethical way, with your consent at all times.
You work from your own safe space, which can deepen relaxation and make the process feel more natural.
Using headphones can enhance focus and depth, if you have them, even better.
Flexibility, access from anywhere, continuity, and for some people, a greater sense of emotional safety.
