CBT hypnotherapy combines focused attention, relaxation and cognitive behavioural techniques to help you examine unhelpful thought patterns and practise different responses. These FAQs explain how sessions work, who they’re suitable for, what’s included and what this non clinical service doesn’t provide.
What is Hypnotherapy, and How Does It Work?
CBT Hypnotherapy combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) hypnotherapy uses relaxation and focused attention to guide you into a deeply relaxed state, helping you access your subconscious mind. This method can help you explore and address issues like stress, negative thinking, and self-limiting beliefs, but it is not a medical or clinical treatment. It is a tool for personal growth and self-discovery, not a substitute for professional care.
What can I expect during a CBT Hypnotherapy session?
You’ll remain fully aware during the session. There’s no trance, just a deeply relaxed state where you’ll reflect on and change negative thought patterns. You can stop at any time if you feel uncomfortable.
How does CBT Hypnotherapy differ from other therapies?
CBT Hypnotherapy is a structured, goal-oriented approach. Unlike traditional therapies that may focus on exploring emotions or talking through problems, CBT Hypnotherapy is about addressing specific mental blocks using hypnosis as a tool to reinforce the changes. The work is focused on practical, actionable shifts in thought and behaviour.
Why are your hypnotherapy sessions sold in packages of 3?
The three-session package ensures you have time to address your challenges properly and make progress in a manageable timeframe. Each session builds on the last, allowing for consistent work towards the changes you want to make. You’ll also have tasks between sessions to help reinforce the work done.
How do I book my hypnotherapy package?
To begin, you’ll first complete a short registration form. This lets me know you’re interested and gives me a brief overview of your goals.
Once your form is received, you’ll be invited to pay a non-refundable deposit to secure your review. After payment, you’ll receive a detailed pre-session questionnaire. I personally review each submission to confirm whether CBT Hypnotherapy is the right fit before moving forward.
If your application is accepted, you’ll then complete full payment and we’ll schedule your sessions. This process ensures your time (and mine) is used purposefully and that each client receives the attention they deserve.
Please note: All CBT Hypnotherapy bookings must follow this process. Submissions or payments made outside this order can’t be accepted or processed.
I currently offer weekend appointments only (GMT). International clients are welcome, and I’ll do my best to accommodate time zones where possible.
What’s included in the pre-session form?
The pre-session form helps us understand where you are at. It asks questions about your goals, challenges, and any specific areas you would like to work on during the sessions. This helps us create a personalised approach for you and ensure we are addressing your individual needs.
Are your sessions suitable for everyone?
CBT Hypnotherapy isn’t suitable for everyone. It is not designed to treat severe mental health conditions or replace clinical therapy. Our hypnotherapy sessions are not clinical and are not a substitute for medical or psychological care. If you are currently under the care of a mental health professional or under 18 years old, we cannot accept your booking. Hypnotherapy is a personal growth tool and is intended for self-discovery and empowerment, not as a replacement for therapy or medical treatment.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
The 3-session package is designed to give you the space to explore, reflect, and make meaningful progress. But this is not passive work. The sessions themselves are just one part of the journey. You will be given homework, practical tasks to engage with between sessions. The real transformation happens when you take the insights from our work together and apply them in your daily life.
Some people feel shifts straight away, while for others, the changes unfold more gradually. At the end of your package, you will have a clear understanding of what you are working with and how to continue moving forward on your terms. The process is about your effort, your engagement, and your commitment to the change you want to see.
Hypnotherapy is not intended to be long-term or ongoing. We will review your progress together, reflect on the work we have done, and decide on the next steps, if needed.
Can I use hypnotherapy for medical or psychological conditions?
No. CBT Hypnotherapy is not a treatment for medical or psychological conditions. If you are managing any mental health concerns or medical conditions, please consult your healthcare provider before booking a session. This approach is for personal growth, not for addressing clinical health issues.
Are your hypnotherapy sessions online?
Yes, all sessions are conducted online. You will receive a private link for each session, making it easy to join from anywhere that’s convenient for you.
Will I remember everything that happens during my session?
In our sessions, you won’t be in a trance. You will remain fully aware and in control throughout. Hypnosis is a relaxed state, but you are always conscious of what is happening. Some clients remember every detail of the session, while others may not recall everything. That is okay. What matters is that the work is happening on a subconscious level, whether or not you remember every word.
You are free to stop at any time. You are always in control, and the pace of the session is entirely up to you.
What if I don’t feel comfortable during the session?
Your comfort is our top priority. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you can choose to stop the session. Hypnotherapy is a safe, non-judgmental space, and you are in control throughout the process. If you need to adjust or take a break, just let us know.
How do I know if hypnotherapy is the right choice for me?
If you are feeling stuck, have patterns you cannot seem to break, or you want a deeper understanding of yourself, hypnotherapy could be a great fit. It is a way to explore your mind and emotions, without forcing you to confront anything you are not ready for. Take your time to think about your goals, our pre-session form will help clarify if hypnotherapy is right for you.
