Explore frequently asked questions on hypnotherapy for clarity and empowerment.

Here, you’ll find clear answers to help you make informed decisions about your mental well-being. Whether you’re new to hypnotherapy or curious about the process, this section covers everything you need—from the benefits of cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy to what you can expect in each session. Explore how this therapy can help you rewrite your mind story, all in a way that fits into your life.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for change, using a relaxed, focused state to access your subconscious mind. Through this process, we can uncover and reshape the patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that may be holding you back. It’s a natural, effective way to help you align with the life you want to create.

In a hypnotherapy session, I guide you into a deeply relaxed state using visualisations and imagery. This relaxed state allows your subconscious mind to become more open to positive suggestions, enabling us to reframe limiting beliefs and behaviours. Through this process, we tap into the brain’s natural ability for neuroplasticity—the brain’s capacity to form and reorganize connections. Backed by scientific research, this approach helps you create lasting mental, emotional, and behavioural change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach focused on understanding and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours. By identifying these unhelpful patterns, CBT helps you develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding to life’s challenges.
CBT works by guiding you to challenge distorted thoughts, reframe your perspective, and adopt practical coping strategies. Over time, this process strengthens emotional resilience and promotes lasting behavioural changes, leading to improved mental well-being and a more balanced life.

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBHT) combines the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with the relaxing and focused state of hypnosis. This integrated approach allows you to access your subconscious mind, where deeply ingrained beliefs and thought patterns reside, and work to reshape them more effectively.

CBHT works by guiding you into a relaxed, suggestible state, allowing for deeper focus on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours. With this combination, CBHT accelerates the process of reframing thoughts, improving emotional regulation, and fostering lasting personal growth. It’s a powerful tool for overcoming anxiety, trauma, and emotional challenges by accessing both the conscious and subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for addressing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, phobias, addiction, and weight management. It also supports personal growth, enhancing self-esteem, motivation, and performance in areas like relationships, career, and overall emotional well-being. By reshaping thought patterns and leveraging the brain’s neuroplasticity, hypnotherapy helps you achieve long-lasting change across multiple aspects of your life.

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBHT) empowers you to create meaningful change by addressing the root causes of your challenges. Here’s how it can work for you:

  • Personalised Sessions: Each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals for a deeply resonant therapeutic experience.
  • Accessing the Subconscious: Uncover and reframe limiting beliefs to break free from negative cycles.
  • Building Resilience: Learn effective strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges, fostering resilience.
  • Empowerment Through Change: Develop skills to take control of your thoughts and emotions, leading to a more balanced, fulfilling life.
  • Lasting Impact: Gain practical tools to sustain your progress, promoting long-term growth beyond therapy.

Being hypnotised feels like a deeply relaxed and focused state, similar to daydreaming. You remain aware of your surroundings and become more receptive to positive suggestions. Many people report a heightened sense of clarity and self-awareness, allowing for deeper exploration of thoughts and feelings.

In hypnotherapy, you’re in a safe space, empowered to access your subconscious mind and uncover insights for meaningful change. Importantly, you remain in control throughout the session and can choose how much you wish to engage.

Absolutely. You remain in control throughout the entire session. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process where you actively participate and are fully aware of your actions and choices. You can accept or reject any suggestions made, ensuring that the experience aligns with your values and comfort level.

Yes, cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy can be adapted for younger clients, addressing issues like anxiety and self-esteem gently. Parental consent and involvement are essential.

Come with an open mind and a willingness to explore your goals and challenges. Find a comfortable, quiet space where you can relax and focus without distractions. To create the best environment for your session, it’s helpful to arrange for pets and children to be occupied elsewhere, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in this time for you.

Post-session, you may feel relaxed and reflective. Take some quiet time to process your experience and jot down any thoughts or feelings. You will receive a recording of your hypnotherapy script to listen to each night before bed. This is the ideal time to absorb the positive suggestions we’ve explored together, reinforcing the seeds of change that have already been sown. Each night, as you listen, these suggestions strengthen in the optimal setting of your mind, enhancing the progress we’ve made.

If you’re booking a series of sessions, I may also provide manageable exercises tailored to fit your lifestyle. These could include mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises for regulating your nervous system, or other practical strategies. Together, we’ll discuss what works best for you, ensuring that these practices enhance your therapeutic journey without overwhelming you.
