Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical hypnotherapist is a specialist in hypnotherapy. It’s important to know that every good hypnotherapist should be a member of at least one recognised professional associations, like Australian Hypnotherapy Association.

In addition to that it’s good to know there are differences between the training organisations, and one have adequate training from certified and preferably well-recognised training organisation.

By using hypnosis as a form of therapy your entire neurology is engaged with the process.

Our aim is to create the setting to involve your whole mind and body in alignment towards change and your outcome.

You are an active part of the process. The practitioner is there to guide you to the answers and solutions you yourself have in your unconscious for every problem. Therefore, the state of hypnosis in and of itself is not the solution, but rather what you choose to do with it. With a good practitioner almost anything is possible, and while there’s nothing mystical about it, the results may sometimes seem like there was.

Hypnosis and NLP techniques are used for overcoming hundreds of different conditions, varying from removing phobias and fears; recovering from depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, loss of a loved one; healing chronic pain, illnesses, IBS, emotionally significant events; and it’s used in endless ways to improve one’s performance, starting from better weight management, peak performance in sports, corporate work, sales, anything to do with confidence, study and learning, stress management etc.

No, you won’t. This is based on the misconception that stage hypnosis has made popular.

Clinical hypnotherapy differs significantly from the stage hypnosis. The process of stage hypnosis starts way before you even step into the room. In the show the hypnotist chooses the people who are willing to participate by reading the crowd. The ones who end up on the stage and do funny things in front of everybody are the ones whose body language told the hypnotist that they actually want to do that.

Anyone can come out of hypnosis anytime they want. The hypnotherapist cannot “put anyone down” against their will in any given time.

See the question above.

Most often you will remember what happened. It may seem like a dream, or a vague memory, but you will remember.

In some cases where the subconscious messages deviate greatly from what the conscious mind can handle (discovering something totally new from one’s past or present), client’s subconscious might decide to keep the information safe from the conscious mind. It will only reveal the message and learnings at a suitable time, when the analytical mind can achieve that piece of information without negative effects. This might happen while asleep, meditating, or any other time that meets the criteria

If you can look for information on this topic, read these FAQs and decide what kind of assistance you want from us (which you are doing now), you most definitely can go to a state of hypnosis. The only real prerequisite is to be able to hold a thought, i.e. focus on something for as little as 10s. If a person can do that, they can be hypnotised.

Instead, if you don’t want to be hypnotised, it’s a different story.

Again we want to point out the difference between the state of hypnosis (naturally occurring state of undisturbed focus) and the change work that happens at experienced practitioner’s clinic. For a beginner, the state in itself, while nice and relaxing, rarely creates a lasting result. The missing part is the change work that our therapist does after inducing the trance state.

There are definitely ways how one can apply change work techniques on oneself after a session or two with an experienced hypnotherapist. We truly believe in empowering our clients to learn these techniques, so we teach you the ones that are easy, safe and effective to use on your own.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) was developed in the 1970’s by two men who were interested in human excellence.

As a result many people who were excellent in their field were studied using the attitudes and methodology of NLP.

The thinking patterns of excellence were collected and documented as the NLP techniques used today.

Timeline is one NLP technique that works beautifully in certain circumstances.

We use it whenever appropriate.

There are a number of reasons why you might have had an unsuccessful or negative experience.

• Not a good personal match – All of us (clients and practitioners) are individuals and some get along better than others.
• Susceptibility compromised by external factors such as mood, hormones, nutritional balance that affect neurotransmitter activity etc.
• You didn’t give yourself permission to explore your subconscious fully (maybe because of not feeling safe).
• Trust & feeling safe – For hypnosis to work one needs to trust the practitioner and be willing to work subconsciously on the issue at hand.
• The other practitioner didn’t find out what you expected from the session, and hence didn’t deliver to your expectation. This naturally leads to disappointment.
• If this has been your experience, please contact us. We will be able to help you to understand what has happened, and continue on your healing journey.

Best way is to call us, and book in. You can find our contact details here.

You may also come and see us in person in one of our workshops where we usually take bookings, if there are free openings.

We do have limited numbered of sessions available, so call us to day to secure your spot.

Our practitioners operate currently in three different locations:

Usually 1 hour.

However, it’s not unusual that the problem client presents is resolved within as little as 20 minutes. So, the duration varies depending on the situation, client’s willingness to change and other factors like mood, physiological state etc.

We always give more than enough time for clients to integrate their experience before they walk out the door. In the frequent cases of rapid resolution, we normally add some extra relaxation, especially if the client has requested it.

Everyone is different, and therefore every case is different. Even two clients with similar symptoms may take different number of times to resolve their issue.

On average it takes 3-6 sessions to achieve your desired outcome. Therefore hypnotherapy is significantly more effective method than many other forms of therapy.

When you contact us to book an appointment and have an initial conversation with us, we will give you an estimate of what’s required for your needs.
