FAQs

1. Success rate

The majority of clients experience a positive shift in one or two therapy sessions. However sometimes more sessions are required, and in a minority of cases a client may need to explore support from other Healthcare Professionals.

2. Do the results last?

If we go to the gym for a few months and never go again, the progress and results will diminish.

However, if we learn the piano, and persist with our practice, then a part of the mind retains the information, and the skills never really leave us even after we stop practicing.

Progress is different for everyone. However, if the person is motivated and persists with the gentle practice advised during the Therapy, then longer term results are experienced and achievable.

3. Support after therapy

For many clients, the initial few sessions are all that is required. For others, additional benefit is gained from ongoing support.

Ongoing sessions are available for those that require additional support.

4. Efficacy of a Clinic compared to a Zoom appointment

The efficacy of the Therapy is most often the same whether in Clinic or via Zoom. However there are some exceptions.

For young clients that have difficulty concentrating, then a face to face session in the Clinic can sometimes be more helpful.

5. What age is best?

The Therapy is appropriate for ages 8+, teenager and adult.

The key to success is that the person wants to attend Therapy for themselves, rather than being brought along unwillingly by a parent.

For younger children, as long as they can follow instructions and have a reasonable attention span, they will be suitable for the Therapy.

Some children bring toys or fidget devices into the Therapy. This is acceptable and often helpful for ADHD/Autistic clients.

6. What percentage of the session is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis forms an important part of the Therapy, but is not the sole reason for change. Hypnosis is used to consolidate the learnings of the session at a deeper level within the person’s mind.

For younger children, Hypnosis is sometimes not required, or it is undertaken with their eyes open.

The Therapy does not necessarily rely on Hypnosis for success.

7. Can parents be in the room with their child?

For younger children, it is advisable that a parent sits in on the session with them (or if by Zoom, is in the room).

Although both parents are welcome to attend the session, it is worth noting that this can sometimes put additional unnecessary pressure on the child.

8. Can I bring a support person?

Yes. A parent, partner or support person is welcome to attend the session.
