Frequently Asked Questions
Why work with me?
My service is different from CBT and Counselling as these services are not effective in dealing with anxiety and panic symptoms as they focus on cognitive approaches. Cognitive simply means thinking and you cannot think your way out of anxiety.
Anxiety and panic sit within the emotional side of the brain which requires a different approach, a somatic approach which is where hypnotherapy really comes into its own.
I help you change the way you feel in your body first, which changes your thoughts around the issue leading to a resolution.
I use simple effective, science-based interventions that will kickstart your current mindset paving the way to a solution that works for you.
Why choose RESET?
RESET is my 60 minute face to face session that will start you on your journey to anxiety and panic freedom. It is a great way to experience working with me and during the session, you will learn a number of techniques to help you to lower your anxiety. If you are looking for long term transformation, the Tranquil Minds program is perfect for you.
Why choose The Tranquil Minds Program?
The Tranquil Minds Program is based on 4 face to face hypnotherapy sessions over 6 weeks. The program will empower you to totally change the way you think about anxiety and the way you deal with it. The program will be a mix of tools and techniques that you can use to help reduce anxiety in the moment along with hypnosis to help you reprogram your mind in order for you to make your desired changes.
When you come to see me, unlike traditional counselling or CBT, you will not be asked to bring up your past. Instead, we will focus on how you would like to be! Find out more about The Tranquil Minds Program here.
How much is the Tranquil Minds Program?
The program is an investment of £395. (4 sessions)
Can I book a single session of Hypnotherapy?
Yes, the RESET Hour is a perfect introduction to Hypnotherapy. During the session you will get an insight into some of the techniques used to overcome anxiety and how to apply them. If you are serious about change, it is recommended you purchase the full program to take advantage of the great resources that will be available to you when you complete the full program.
Why choose Hypnotherapy?
My service is different from CBT and Counselling as these services are not helpful in dealing with anxiety and panic symptoms as they focus on cognitive approaches.
Feelings of anxiety and panic sit within the emotional side of the brain which requires a different approach, a somatic approach which is where Hypnotherapy really comes into its own.
I focus on what I call the bottom-up approach, which means I help you change the way you feel in your body first, which in turn then changes your thoughts around the issue which leads to a resolution.
What is Hypnosis?
Simply put, hypnosis is focussed attention. Hypnosis is pure focus, combined with imagination and belief. I like to give the example of being engrossed in a good book for a couple of hours and letting time run away with you! As humans we focus our attention on lots of different things throughout the day and we go in and out of hypnosis all the time! During your hypnotherapy appointment, focus, curiosity and imagination are used to create the desired outcome. It really is that simple!
What Hypnosis is not!
Hypnosis has nothing to do with mind control. Most people associate hypnosis with volunteers up on stage barking like dogs, clucking like chickens and anything else that will entertain an audience. What the audience don’t know is that all the volunteers will have been pre-selected by the hypnotist to perform such acts willingly. Nobody can make you do anything you don’t want to during hypnosis. You will be in complete control.
What Hypnotherapy can help with!
Hypnotherapy can help with many issues where the cause sits at the subconscious level.
