What to expect in a hypnotherapy / NLP session

Your consultation session will go like this:

We meet, you'll be offered a drink and a safe, comfortable and confidential place to explain what is going on for you; the reason why you're there. Because we understand that you'll be a bit nervous, we take special care to help you feel at home and relaxed. Your therapist will then ask questions designed to get to the root-cause of the issues you're experiencing, listening very carefully to the answers.

This is your chance to get it off you chest, and also get some answers. Many people feel somewhat better even just as a result of having somebody listen; having a chance to get it out your mind and into the open...

Then, your therapist will step out a 'plan of action'. He or she will explain why it is you're experiencing the issues you're facing, and what can be done to help (plus, why our help will actually work). From here you'll feel that you have a very clear picture of what can be done.

At this point you can go away and think about it, or book in for a first session. There is no risk, no obligation; and although this service is offered without charge, many people find it invaluable. Often, a person will book in straight away, feeling reassured that we can help.

Your therapy sessions will go like this:

In the first session, much like in the consultation, we understand that you might be a bit nervous so we again take care to help you feel relaxed and at ease straight away. You'll be offered a drink, and we'll go through a process designed to define the changes you want to see. What do you want more of? What do you want to stop doing or feeling? We'll work out precisely what you want to change...

Your therapist will explain in more depth what we'll be doing in order to help you achieve these goals. If helpful, he or she might give you a more in-depth overview of the psychology at play. How it is we come to feel the feelings or carry out the behaviours we wish to change. Often, knowing these things can help us change. Many of our clients comment on how interesting it is to understand the things we do in more detail...

Then your therapist will guide you through an array of different 'interventions'; perhaps certain visualisation techniques, perhaps looking at the language you use. Perhaps your therapist will look at some old troubling memories in order to take away the feeling, or perhaps he or she will teach you how to make better feelings in certain situations. Hypnosis will often be used. A relaxed state where you are totally aware of what is going on around you, invariably our clients find it a relaxing (and interesting!) experience. It is through these techniques, that changes start to emerge from within...

In later sessions, we'll refer to the original goals we defined, in order to ensure we're making progress. After a number of sessions, people often forget they even mentioned certain issues at the start. If you think about a really positive version of who you can be, this is essentially where the vast majority of our clients find themselves: happy that they chose to work with us and happy to get on with their lives...

So, as you can see - you're in good hands. Why not send a quick email, and see what we can do to help?
