How we work together

We begin with what is happening in your life now. You might have a clear concern, such as work anxiety, or a less definite sense that you cannot carry on feeling this way. Either is a useful starting point.

Your first session

We will discuss what has brought you here, relevant background and what you hope might change. I will explain the way I work, confidentiality and practical arrangements. We will also consider whether this service is suitable for your needs.

You can ask questions and take your time. You do not need to tell your whole story at once.

Understanding hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis within a therapeutic conversation. This can involve focused attention, guided relaxation, imagery and suggestions that we have discussed together. You remain in control and can stop at any point.

We will talk about what an exercise involves and why we might use it. Hypnosis is not required in every session. You can choose not to use it, and we can discuss whether my approach is still a good fit.

Your experience guides the work

We may explore how you respond to expectations, what happens when you try to rest, or why certain situations leave you feeling inadequate. We can consider boundaries, ways of managing worry and the place work occupies in your life.

We will agree a focus and review how the sessions are going, including anything that does not feel helpful. The number and frequency of sessions depend on your needs and our assessment. I do not promise a particular result or a fixed timetable for change.

Online and in person

Appointments are available online and in person by arrangement. For online sessions, you will need a private space where you can speak freely and will not be interrupted.
