Questions and Answers

Q: What if I can’t be hypnotised?

A: Don’t worry. The only people who can’t be hypnotised are those who can’t understand the instructions or who don't want to be hypnotised. Everyone else can be hypnotised, but the depths and response levels do differ from person to person.

Q: Is the depth of hypnosis important to the success of the therapy?

A: Not really - it is much more important to tailor the therapy to your needs and according to the level of hypnosis that suits you best.

Q: I don’t like the idea of having my mind being controlled.

A: Again, don’t worry. It won’t be. On the contrary, you will always remain in control, but the skill of the hypnotherapist is to work within your control and still bring about change at a deeper level.

Q: Will I know what’s going on?

A: Of course. You will also be able to remember the details of the session(s).

Q: So I am not asleep then?

A: Not at all. You will just be very relaxed and your awareness will be enhanced, not dulled. Often you may feel as if you have not been “under” although in actual fact you have been hypnotised in the session.

Q: Will I be made to do silly things like those you see on stage or TV? And are there any bad side effects

A: No, of course not! You will always be treated with the utmost respect, and your confidentiality will be safeguarded. Also, do remember that my job, as a therapist, is to make you better, not worse.

Q: Can you guarantee me a cure?

A: Nothing in life is guaranteed, and it is not professional to offer one. However, you can be assured that as a professional I can indeed guarantee that I will bring all my skills, knowledge, experience and ongoing training to bear in bringing you lasting relief to your problem.
