For a lot of people, the only picture they have of hypnosis comes from stage shows and films. The reality could not be more different. There is nothing strange about it, you are simply guided into a state of deep, comfortable relaxation, fully aware and in control, while Ann helps your mind make the changes you want.
Every session is tailored to you, but the basic shape is always the same. Here is how it unfolds.
An in-depth consultation
We start by talking. Ann takes the time to understand what has brought you here, your history and what matters to you, and together you agree exactly what you want the session to achieve. Nothing happens until you feel comfortable.
Ann explains what will happen
Every client and every session is different, so Ann explains clearly what yours will involve and answers any questions. There are no surprises, and you are in control throughout.
Gentle, deep relaxation
You settle into the most comfortable position possible and Ann gently guides you into a deeply relaxed, trance-like state. Despite the name, this is actually an enhanced state of awareness, you are calm, aware and in control the entire time.
Working with the subconscious
In this relaxed state, Ann is able to communicate with your subconscious, the part of the mind that runs your habits and reactions, to change unhelpful patterns of behaviour and release phobias, suppressed emotions and irrational fears.
Replacing old patterns
Together we let go of the old patterns that no longer serve you and replace them with healthier ways that still meet the same positive intention, so the change feels natural and lasting.
Return and review
You return gently to full awareness, usually feeling calm and rested. If any further sessions would help, Ann discusses them with you, always aiming for results in as few sessions as possible.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends entirely on what you are working on. Habit changes such as stopping smoking are often resolved in just one to three sessions, while deeper-rooted issues like anxiety, self-esteem or long-held patterns usually take somewhere around six to ten. Approaches such as analytical therapy and timeline therapy help get to the root. Whatever you bring, Ann will always be honest with you and aims to achieve a real result in as few sessions as possible. Browse everything under how I can help.
