Hypnotherapy FAQs

You may have some questions about hypnotherapy. I have put together a quick list of FAQs below, but please do reach out to me if you cannot find what you are looking for.

Is Hypnotherapy Safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is a safe, you will be guided into the focussed but relaxed state of hypnosis by your trained hypnotherapist, but you will remain in control throughout. Being in hypnosis can be likened to being engrossed on your favourite book, tv programme computer game or hobby. You are fully aware of your surroundings for example if you heard a fire alarm you would react. During hypnosis using the power of your wonderful mind you will be able to create the solution(s) for you to be the person you were born to be!
