What will happen at the session?

The most important thing is that you can expect to feel comfortable and at ease with me. This is of particular importance in Hypnotherapy, as the experience of the treatment is generally enhanced when you have confidence in the practitioner. We will talk together and you will be asked about your problem and notes may be taken. I will need to find out certain necessary information both about the problem and about you

The next stage is the induction of hypnosis. You are led, by means of my voice and a personally written script, unique to you, into a state where your body and mind are relaxed. To an onlooker it would seem as if you were sleeping, but in fact, although you will normally feel very relaxed, you will remain aware of my voice and hear what is being said to you. In this state your subconscious mind is more receptive, and this is the part with which I am working to induce beneficial changes. This may mean that you will be picturing, as if in a daydream, the things which are being described to you, and you may experience the associated pleasant feelings. You will always feel in control.

It isn’t magic, although it may well feel like it! You will be in control at all times, but so deeply relaxed that when you awaken (for want of a better word), you will feel much refreshed and rested.
