What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis—a state of focused attention, often accompanied by relaxation—to help you work towards agreed goals. It may involve guided relaxation, imagery and suggestions connected to the changes you would like to make.

Will I lose control?

No. Hypnosis does not give someone control over your mind or make you do things against your will. You remain in control of your actions and choices throughout.

Will I be asleep?

Hypnosis is not the same as sleep. Most people remain aware of what is happening and remember the session afterwards. Experiences vary, and you do not need to feel deeply relaxed for your experience to be valid.

What happens at the initial meeting?

The initial meeting gives us time to talk about what brings you here, what you would like support with and what you hope to feel different.

You can ask questions, and we can discuss whether my approach is appropriate for your needs.

The initial meeting costs £45.

How much do sessions cost?

The initial meeting costs £45. This gives us time to discuss what brings you here, what you would like support with and how we might work together.

Following the initial meeting, I offer a block of six hypnotherapy sessions for £400.

The initial meeting is separate from the six-session block, making the total cost £445 for the initial meeting and six subsequent sessions.

How many sessions will I need?

This will depend on your needs and what you would like to work towards. We can discuss this at your initial meeting and review it as we work together.

Offering a six-session block does not mean that everyone needs exactly six sessions or that a particular outcome is guaranteed.

Do you only work with teachers?

No. I welcome adults from all backgrounds who are seeking support with anxiety, stress, low confidence and difficult life changes.

As a former teacher and education leader, I also welcome teachers and education staff who would appreciate working with someone familiar with the demands of education.

Do I need to know exactly what is wrong before contacting you?

No. You may have a specific concern, or you may simply feel that life has become difficult. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

We can start exactly where you are.

Do you offer online appointments?

Yes. I offer sessions in person in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and online. Please get in touch to discuss which option you would prefer.

How do I arrange an appointment?

You can call, WhatsApp or email me to ask a question or arrange your initial meeting.
