FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a referral to book a session?
No referral is needed. You can book a consultation directly through the contact page or by phone.
Is everything I share confidential?
Yes. Sessions are confidential, with the standard professional exceptions around risk of serious harm, which will always be explained clearly upfront.
How is clinical hypnotherapy different from stage hypnosis?
Clinical hypnotherapy is a recognised therapeutic technique used for specific treatment goals. You remain aware and in control throughout — it is not the loss-of-control experience associated with stage hypnosis.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by person and issue. Some concerns are addressed in 6–8 structured sessions; others benefit from longer-term work. This is reviewed regularly rather than fixed upfront.
Are online sessions as effective as in-person sessions?
For most talk-therapy work, yes — research generally shows comparable outcomes. Some hypnotherapy and Ego State work is better suited to in-person sessions, which will be discussed with you directly.
