Appointments
I offer aFREE Introductory Consultation (20 minute appointment)
. It is very important that a person feels confident and comfortable with the therapist who is helping them and with the therapy which will be provided.This consultation therefore provides an opportunity for a client to meet me (or if preferred to have a telephone consultation) free of charge without any obligation. Having established that hypnotherapy is appropriate for their problem, I would discuss with the client how hypnotherapy would be helpful whilst also answering any queries they may have about the therapy.Clinical Hypnotherapy Sessions (1 hour)
The Initial Appointment
- I believe that in order to provide high standards of care it is important to spend the necessary time during this consultation to really gain a full understanding of my client’s problem. I do this initially by asking my client to fill in a ‘confidential initial consultation form’ and then I use a combination of careful listening and gentle questioning to discuss their problem. This allows me to establish which therapies/ interventions will be of most benefit to them, and helps me to calculate the number of clinical sessions that will be required. Having discussed the problem sufficiently, should time permit I would then give my client an experience of hypnosis.Subsequent Clinical Sessions
- Consist of client feedback, therapeutic discussions and hypnotherapy interventions.The number of sessions required varies
- It can be as few as 1 to 2 sessions for a straightforward problem such as nail biting or stopping smoking (if there is no underlying emotional issue). Otherwise between 3 to 8 sessions are generally required depending upon the specific problem and the needs of each individual.Locations of my therapy rooms in Bath and Bradford on Avon;
