Therapy is no longer a painful, extended dig into one's past. Knowing the origin of a problem rarely cures it. The test of effective therapy is whether you actually feel better and can stay better.

What happens during a session?

A session will comprise of a discussion about your challenge and will be followed by a period of relaxation. You will be in total control at all times and will not lose awareness. Nothing is done against your own will and every client I have seen in my practice has enjoyed the experience and often do go on to subsequently practice hypnosis for themselves.

How many sessions will I need, and how long do these take?

Most people only need one to five sessions before they notice the positive changes, but it depends on each individual's needs. It can often surprise people who may have spent their whole lives in fear of flying or spiders to find that this no longer bothers them after only one session. Solution-focused techniques will, typically, impact on a person's problems early on in therapy. A session usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.

Where and when can these sessions take place?

I have a comfortable room especially set aside at my home where clients can come and discuss, confidentially, any difficulties they may face. Appointments are available at evenings or weekends.
