Frequently Asked Questions
Hypnotherapy
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness that many people experience every day, like when you’re absorbed in a good book or a long drive. In session, you remain aware, in control, and can pause or stop at any time.
Will I lose control or do something silly?
No. Clinical hypnotherapy is very different from stage hypnosis. It’s a collaborative, respectful process where you’re always in charge. You won’t do anything you don’t want to do.
How many sessions will I need?
Every person’s journey is unique. Some notice meaningful shifts after a few sessions, while others choose to continue longer for deeper integration. As a guide, most clients benefit from 6–8 sessions per issue.
Do you work online?
Yes. Secure video sessions are available, and many clients appreciate the comfort of working from their own home. I’ll also send a simple checklist so you feel fully prepared for an effective online session.
Are results guaranteed?
As with any therapy, results vary depending on your history, goals, and how you engage with the process. What I can guarantee is a compassionate, evidence-informed approach, clear communication, and a safe space to support your growth.
Listening Programs
Can I participate in a listening program without doing hypnotherapy?
Listening programs are most effective when they're integrated into a broader therapeutic plan. For that reason, I currently offer them as part of ongoing therapy rather than as a standalone service.
How do I know if a listening program is right for me?
You don't need to figure that out before reaching out. During our consultation and assessment, we'll explore your goals, experiences, and nervous system together. If I believe a listening program could support your treatment we'll discuss whether it's the right fit for you.
What if I start a listening program and it doesn't feel right?
Listening programs are designed to be flexible and individualized. If your nervous system needs a slower pace, or we decide a listening program isn't the right fit after all, we'll adjust your treatment plan together. Your care is always guided by your needs, not be completing a program.
Can I do my listening at home?
Depending on your treatment plan, listening may take place during therapy sessions, independently at home, or a combination of both. I'll recommend the approach that best supports your nervous system and therapeutic goals.
