Questions
What conditions can hypnotherapy treat effectively?
Hypnotherapy successfully addresses anxiety, stress, phobias, weight management, smoking cessation, and confidence issues. Our clients report significant improvements in emotional well-being and behavioural patterns.
How does EFT tapping work for emotional issues?
EFT combines acupressure with cognitive therapy to release trapped emotions. By tapping specific meridian points while focusing on negative emotions, clients reprocess traumatic memories without re-traumatisation, achieving rapid emotional relief.
What happens during a first hypnotherapy session?
Initial sessions include discussing your goals, completing a PHQ-9 questionnaire, and experiencing a tailored hypnosis session. We explain the process thoroughly and teach self-hypnosis techniques for home practice.
Can hypnotherapy help with weight loss permanently?
Yes, our Freedom Weight Management Program addresses emotional eating patterns and creates sustainable lifestyle changes. Clients maintain results through self-hypnosis recordings and cognitive restructuring techniques taught during six-session courses.
Are online hypnotherapy sessions as effective as in-person?
Virtual sessions via Zoom achieve comparable results to face-to-face therapy. The hypnosis process works effectively through video calls, with clients reporting similar relaxation and engagement levels in both formats.
