Questions

What is hypnosis and how does it work?

Hypnosis is a natural altered state of consciousness that allows direct communication with your subconscious mind. This relaxed state enables therapeutic change by reprogramming negative patterns and reinforcing positive behaviours through guided suggestions.

Can everyone be hypnotised?

Most people can achieve hypnosis if willing to follow simple suggestions. Success depends on openness to the process rather than susceptibility, with the therapist acting as a facilitator for your self-directed hypnotic state.

How many sessions will I need?

Treatment typically requires 2-6 sessions depending on individual needs. Specific issues like smoking cessation may require single sessions, while complex challenges like weight management might need extended support across 7-8 weeks.

Are online sessions effective?

Online hypnotherapy delivers comparable results to in-person sessions. Clients receive the same professional guidance through secure video platforms, with 90% reporting equal effectiveness in overcoming anxiety, phobias, and habit-related issues.

What conditions do you treat successfully?

We specialise in anxiety disorders, weight management, depression, phobias, performance enhancement, and habit modification. Clinical evidence supports our approach for stress-related conditions, sleep disorders, and confidence-building requirements.

What happens during a first session?

Initial consultations include detailed case history review, goal setting, and introduction to hypnotic techniques. The therapist explains the process thoroughly before guiding you through relaxation exercises and tailored therapeutic suggestions.

I visited Jan for an obsession related to anxiety, I had previously tried so many different ways to stop my ocd behavior and figured I had nothing to lose in trying hypnotherapy... I am so glad I did, following each session I gradually felt better and much less anxious. It has been 2 weeks since my last session and I feel great , I can honestly say it is the first time in years I haven't been 'controlled' by an anxiety related obsession. I would definitely recommend visiting Jan and wish I had done it years ago.

From the age of 16 I began to develop severe anxiety and depression. I have had a tough past and after 6 years of constant lows and severe depression I was most certainly feeling broken, the way I would describe it was 'scared of dying but too tired to live'. I had very low self esteem. The Beginning of this year was tough, my mental health plummeted, I went off sick from employment and dropped out of university. I became a 'couch potato', put on 2 stone and just the thought of stepping outside my front door exhausted me. After trying a majority of therapies and waiting 9 months on the waiting

Picking up the phone and arranging to see Jan was the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. From the first session I knew Id done the right thing.
Hypnotherapy with Jan has helped me to gain control of my eating habits and hence the weight is coming off, but more importantly its brought back the smile to my face, which has been missing for far too long.
