    FAQ’s

    What is a Hypnosis?2022-05-07T21:12:51+01:00

    Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state that we all experience in many ways throughout the day.

    Daydreaming, creative thinking, playing sports, watching sports, driving, gardening, listening to music, playing a video game, watching a film or reading a book are just some of the common everyday examples of where people go into what are considered hypnotic states. And because it’s such a natural part of your everyday life you don’t realise that you do it.

    A trance is a focused state of awareness, and when this happens other things that are happening around you can just seem to disappear. In this state, it becomes much easier for people to learn, make behavioural changes and overcome issues.

    Can Hypnotherapy help me?2022-05-07T21:14:06+01:00

    Clinical Hypnotherapy is a well established evidence-based treatment. And one of the most effective tools for a wide range of conditions, behavioural change and personal development. It’s especially effective for the treatment of anxiety and anxiety-related conditions, including – phobias, fears, stress, OCD, depression, panic attacks.

    To find out how we can help you get in touch via our contact form or call 0203 086 8444 today.

    What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?2022-05-07T21:13:37+01:00

    Clinical Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based set of behavioural therapies.

    The principles of Clinical Hypnotherapy began in 1890 with the work of Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov discovered Classical Conditioning for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physiology & Medicine in 1904. Clinical Hypnotherapy uses models of human behaviour proven by many world-renowned Phoscologists, Doctors and Behaviourists.

    It also builds upon the best aspects of Psychodynamic Psychology. The psychodynamic approach includes all the theories in psychology that see human functioning based upon the interaction of drives and forces within the person.

    Clinical Hypnotherapy is established upon the best and most effective proven, methodologies to help patients recover sooner and make long-lasting change for the better.

    What is Online Hypnotherapy?2022-04-21T23:19:21+01:00

    If for whatever reason you’re unable to get to our London clinic in Harley Street, online Hypnotherapy in our eClinic is a great option. Online Clinical Hypnotherapy is available via our eClinic.

    Does Hypnotherapy work?2022-05-07T21:14:35+01:00

    Yes, Hypnotherapy helps people overcome a range of conditions.

    You may already know Hypnosis is one of the most effective tools available for behavioural change and personal development. And that it’s useful for a great number of things, including changing undesirable habits such as smoking or nail-biting. It is also useful in overcoming long-term faulty thinking that doesn’t serve us well.

    Clinical Hypnosis in a therapeutic setting can be used to help people manage stress, anxiety, ADD, stop panic attacks, manage physical aches and pain, improve self-esteem and confidence issues, recover from fears and phobias and much more.

    Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for suitable medical advice. If you are suffering from a medical condition you should consult your GP or an appropriately qualified medical practitioner first before seeking alternative methods.

    How many appointments do I need to have?2022-05-06T20:54:55+01:00

    The number of appointments needed will depend on the specific problem that you come to us for help with.

    Typically with a simple phobia, we’d see you for a 2-hour initial appointment then a 1 hour follow up appointment to check you’re on track.

    The first session lasts approximately 2 hours, the second session is usually 1 hour. Any follow-ups after that are usually one hour.

    More complex problems or those involving Anxiety may require further appointments. Treatment for depression may require more appointments and is dependant on the specific nature of the issue involved.

    Clinical Hypnotherapy is an effective therapy, however, results also depend on your motivation and commitment to treatment along with your desire to change. Your hypnotherapist will want to help you with the minimum number of sessions possible. You and the hypnotherapist will review your progress so that at any time you can make a valued judgement about how the therapy is progressing.

    Is Hypnotherapy safe?2022-05-07T21:11:58+01:00

    Hypnosis is a very normal and natural state. What if I pointed out the fact that you already go into hypnosis several times a day, how would you feel?

    If you think about the times when you’ve been captivated by a book or movie, missed your exit on the motorway, got home and realised that even though you weren’t thinking about the journey you got there. These are all examples of the everyday trances we go through.

    So now you realise you experience hypnotic states many times every day think about the times when you see other people zooming out. You may have seen someone so focused on the tv or the task they were doing they didn’t hear you calling them. Or in a lesson or a meeting when you see someone’s zoned out and not paying attention.

    When someone’s zoned out, daydreaming, or in a trance what’s actually happening is that while the conscious mind is focused on whatever it’s paying attention to the unconscious mind takes the helm and looks after things, like an autopilot to keep you safe. 

    The unconscious has evolved to learn via emotions and experience to keep you safe. Trance is natural and happens multiple times every day. 

    Hypnotherapy utilizes these natural learning states to help people change unwanted behaviours and is founded on the work of many physiologists, behaviourists and doctors, including Ivan Pavlov who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology & Medicine in 1904

    Hypnotherapy sessions are different from what you’ve seen on stage or TV. You are always in control, and will never bark like a dog or cluck like a chicken … unless of course, you want to.

    Hypnosis is safe, effective, and works very quickly compared to other types of therapy.

    Everyone can be hypnotized, however, it’s important to remember hypnosis is a willing state. You cannot be hypnotized against your will, and working with a hypnotherapist is a co-creative process.

    The most common reason for failure to induce a hypnotic state is a lack of rapport with a hypnotherapist, or working with someone that doesn’t have proper training.

    Hypnosis is not the same as sleeping, it’s a heightened learning state where the body is deeply relaxed and the mind is alert. Although the mind may drift, you should still be able to hear everything that is being said to you during the session.

    Why results may vary from patient to patient2021-03-19T21:15:40+00:00

    I’ve had a patient ask why I couldn’t give a guarantee the same as John Lewis did with his washing machine repair. I had to point out to him the simple fact is that we’re not dealing with machines we’re working with human beings. And because everyone is different as with any form of treatment some people will respond sooner, quicker or better than others.

    There is no magic bullet or one size fits all treatment. However, what I want for you is something better. Rather than being dependant on a therapist to make you feel better, I want to put you back in control of your feelings and behaviours giving you freedom.

    Please bear in mind that while in many cases phobias can be successfully treated some patients may need additional appointments. In some cases, it may be necessary to review and alter the treatment. Also, results may vary from patient to patient. Legally and professionally every therapist is required to make you aware of this.

    You may find some practitioners promising all sorts of miracle cures. Please be wary of that as some practitioners use it as a marketing ploy and will promise anything to get you into their clinic.

    While it’s reasonable to discuss what results may be typically expected no doctor or therapist can guarantee results.
