Yes, hypnosis is completely safe. In fact, hypnotic trance is a natural state that we experience regularly in everyday life, such as when we're absorbed in a book, watching television, or driving on a familiar route.

During hypnosis, you remain aware of your surroundings and in control at all times. The relaxed state simply allows your subconscious mind to become more receptive to positive suggestions and therapeutic change.

Absolutely not. A common misconception comes from stage hypnosis, where entertainment is the primary goal. Clinical hypnotherapy is very different. You cannot be made to do anything against your wishes, reveal personal information, or lose control of your actions.

Throughout every session, you remain fully aware and in control.

That's completely okay. Following your initial consultation, you'll have a clear understanding of how the process works. If at any point you feel that hypnotherapy isn't the right fit for you, you're under no obligation to continue. Like any therapy, it's important to find an approach that feels right for your individual needs.

We simply ask that you let us know so we can support you appropriately.

The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and the issue you would like support with.

Some clients notice positive changes after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. During your initial consultation, your hypnotherapist will discuss your circumstances and provide a personalised recommendation.
