Q. Can anyone be hypnotised?
A. Yes, apart from very young children and
people suffering psychotic episodes, or people with extremely
low IQs. Everyone goes into trances whether it’s daydreaming,
just before sleep and so on. For more click

Q. Is hypnosis dangerous?
A. No. It’s very safe when practiced
by qualified practitioners.
Q. Am I aware when I’m hypnotised?
A. Yes and no! Most of the time yes you are
totally aware and in control. Sometimes you can drift pleasantly
off ‘into your own world’ into very deep states
of relaxation and that’s fine because hypnosis and NLP
is all about changing things at an unconscious level.
Q. Can I get stuck in hypnosis?
A. No.
Q. Can I be made to do anything I don’t
want to do?
A. No
Q. What is the unconscious mind?
A. The unconscious is the part of you that
controls patterns of thinking and patterns of behaviour.

Q. What is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)?
A. NLP has been described as the new science
of personal achievement but it is much more than that. It
is a highly effective methodology based on the belief that
all behaviour has a structure and that this structure can
be modelled, learned and changed. Through NLP we can learn
about your patterns and programmes, how you can change them
and have more flexibility in your life. [ more ]
Q. How many sessions do I need?
A. It depends. Some things we can change
in just one session, for example stop smoking, certain phobias,
psyching up for a job interview or a driving test. Other things
can take longer, e.g. panic attacks: 2-4 sessions, confidence:
on average 2-4. OCDs or serious depression can take
more still. We also have clients who like to come every week
or fortnight for life coaching and some have been coming for
years. It depends on you and what you want.
