On the date of the scheduled appointment you will be made to feel relaxed and comfortable as possible and as your hypnotherapist I will use my voice with induction techniques to guide you to focus on your internal resources. After each session we may spend some time discussing the information to fully integrate it in to the process. Is there a 100% guarantee that it will work? No, in the same way that there is no guarantee for any other form of complementary or orthodox medicine. What may not work with one client / therapist relationships may well work with another. How many sessions will I need? Again this is very much down to the individual and the problems that need to be resolved. In some cases good success can be achieved in just one or two sessions but more may be required at times. I would advise you on the consultation how many sessions I feel may be necessary and review the progress with each session. The problems a client brings to the sessions can sometimes have many layers to uncover before the root cause is identified and resolved. In general the number of sessions will depend on you. Its your choice. If I feel that I am unable to help further I would advise you as soon as possible. If you have any other specific questions please feel free to ask
