Your First Consultation.

The first session generally averages 45 minutes to an hour and half - it is essentially a warm friendly discussion about what you want to have happen and how hypnosis can help you. More importantly the first sessions makes time for us to get to know each other. 

We'll discuss in some details the changes you want to make, and then go on to how hypnosis works. We'll then decide how best to proceed.

We'll also talk about the various things you may experience in hypnosis. Whatever you feel, you know that it is perfectly natural for you, and you are safe. It is the most natural and wonderful thing that you can do. After all we go into natural hypnosis at least twice a day, immediately before dropping off to sleep, and just before we awake - and often many more times!

We talk about the basic myths that need putting right, such as: you will not be asleep, you will hear and remember everything said, you will be comfortably in control, and you cannot be made to do anything against your will. 

We also mention that when we use hypnosis, we may ask you to visualize in your mind's eye that you are at an idyllic private beach, in the mountains, or in a beautiful forest - we will discuss what you may imagine as your special place to relax in - real or imaginary, future, present or past.

After all your questions have been answered, and you have decided that you want to move on and make changes in your life using hypnosis, we can either start hypnosis then and there at this first meeting, or book a later date for your first hypnotherapy session!
