In Person-Centred counselling the client is in complete control of what we discuss in session. You will never be forced to talk about something you feel uncomfortable with. Not sure where to start? that’s fine we can figure that out together.

Solution -Focused Hypnotherapy is a type of talking therapy which also uses guided relaxation to help support reaching goals and achievements. In Solution-Focused therapy it is very important that we focus in the future instead of looking back to the past.

With Person-Centred Counselling and Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy the number of sessions is up to the client. Some clients I work with short term (weeks) and some of my clients I work with long term (months).

Depending on what you are working towards in Hypnotherapy e.g. stopping smoking. This may mean we only need a couple of sessions however this may vary depending on the issue/client.

In the first counselling session general background information will be discussed and we will explore what you would like to achieve in counselling. You will not be forced to talk about anything you feel uncomfortable with, you are in completed control of your own session.

In the first session background information will be shared to understand more about what is going on for you and what goals are we working towards.

In the second half of the session we explore why you may be acting, feeling and behaving the way you are by gaining some understanding of what is happening in the brain and how hypnosis can help.

At the end of the session you will be given a relaxation track to listen to between the first and next session and book in your next session.

Trance/Hypnosis does not happen until session two.

It is not possible to get stuck in trance. The client is in control throughout and can't be made to do anything they do not want to do.

Trance is a natural state of focused attention, relaxation and heightened suggestibility which can present similar to day dreaming.

Most individuals can be hypnotised however, receptiveness and the depth of trance can vary from client to client.
