ANSWERS TO YOUR

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How many sessions will I need?

Everyone is different but my approach is solution focused which means most clients should be seeing noticeable improvements in 4-6 sessions, you may see observable change after 1-2 sessions or you may need longer but the idea is that I want you to reach your desired outcome quickly. The work will continue outside of the therapy session which helps with moving you towards your goal quickly.

Can Cognitive Hypnotherapy help with anxiety?

Absolutely, several years ago I worked with the Cognitive Hypnotherapist to help with my anxiety and it helped me a lot and contributed to significant change in how I felt about myself and how I was able to manage with day to day stresses. During our sessions we will learn where the root cause of the anxiety came from and then look at reframing this event/belief alongside providing techniques you can use to help calm you, outside of the therapy space.

What is hypnosis?

In our sessions, there will be no ‘pendulum swinging’ or ‘look into my eyes’ as a way of inducing hypnosis. During a technique I may ask you to close your eyes but you will be aware of what is happening and it will just be a conversation where I will speak to your unconscious mind to understand the root cause of your issue. Recent research suggests that 90% of our daily behaviour is driven by our unconscious mind. Your safety and well-being is my top priority so everything we do within the session will have your full consent.

What is an example of trance?

In Cognitive Hypnotherapy we believe trance as an everyday state of mind; much of the day we are in an altered state such as daydreaming. For example being in autopilot so going about a day’s task without thinking through every component such as getting ready in the morning to go to work – we are going through the motions and not considering each step of the way or when we drive to a familiar place and we arrive having forgotten part of the journey.

Does it work for everyone?

Cognitive hypnotherapy research in the September 2015 Mental Health Review Journal compared Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy with national results for the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme which suggested that, in an average of 6 sessions, 71% reported themselves recovered, compared to 42% of people using other IAPT therapies.

The evidence both from the study and the clients I have worked with shows strong results, however therapy and healing is subjective to every individual so there could be occasions when it doesn’t work for someone in the way they would have hoped.

How do I know you are the right therapist for me?

I offer a free 20 minute consultation chat, where we will both be given the opportunity to ask questions to ensure we are the right fit. My priority is ensuring you find the best possible therapist for you so if I am not the right fit, I can assist you with finding someone more suitable.

Do you want to feel more confident, less anxious or rid of unwanted phobias or addictions?

If so, please get in touch to arrange a free 20-minute consultation to understand how we can work together to achieve the outcomes you want.
