Is it anything like talking therapy?
It’s similar to talking therapy but it’s an entirely different approach. We are accessing a part of your brain that stores everything up from your life- memories, feelings, attachments, learnt behaviours, past experiences, then your brain uses that information to affect your everyday life. By using this part (your subconscious) brain we can help change the way you think about things, may that be a huge issue or a minor outlook. 

We will be sitting down together and talking about what you’d like to work on in whichever amount of detail you feel comfortable and for the hypnotherapy part, you will usually have your eyes closed and won’t need to speak much (if at all). So, it’s similar in a way but you’ll be doing a lot of work yourself in your subconscious mind.

‘I’ve been to normal therapy before and it didn’t work’ or ‘I don’t want to have to tell someone everything all over again or talk in depth about my issue’
With hypnotherapy you don’t even have to tell your hypnotherapist anything if you don’t want to go into detail. You could give a brief outline of what you’d like to work on and then we can get to work. Talking therapies can be great but it’s not for everyone and ot everyone will have the same result, so working with your subconscious brain might just be exactly what you needed all along to get you the life you deserve.

 ‘I worry you’ll think my problem is too much’ or ‘I’m scared to go to hypnotherapy as what if the therapist thinks I’m crazy’
Whatever you think your issue is, however weird you think your brain is, whatever it is, I’m sure we’ve heard/seen worse. There’s nothing in this world that would make me think someone is too much or too weird or the problem is strange. I’ve seen and heard so many stories and issues, nothing surprises me and nothing would ever make me judge you. 

‘I’m scared, I don’t know why’
Trying new things can be scary but once you’ve tried hypnotherapy you’ll realise there’s nothing scary about it. There’s no loss of control from you, you are in control at all times and I can’t ever make you do something you don’t want to do.
What have you got to lose? Ask yourself? Other than money there’s nothing to lose, only things to gain. This payment that I‘d otherwise spend on something irrelevant or on going out or something, I’m actually investing in my happiness and future. You really can’t put a price on that. It’s not like hypnotherapy can ever give you a negative experience afterwards. You’ll always be in a better state than you were. If you’re feeling scared or uneasy then please do reach out so I can understand why and go through any concerns you might have.

I’m a professional but I’m also a really friendly, easy going person with a calming and positive energy. Energy is infectious and I guarantee that you’ll feel at ease in no time.

‘I’m a skeptic, will it work on me?’
This is just another way of saying you aren’t serious about helping yourself and you aren’t open enough to want to make positive changes in your life. Maybe you’re afraid of the responsibility of levelling up? Or maybe you were just like me and didn’t understand how hypnotherapy works, so you think it’s not real or it’s just ‘for the weak minded’ which couldn’t be further from the truth. You need to be competent enough to accept suggestion and instruction in hypnosis so actually if you are open and truly want to change your life then hypnotherapy will work on you. If you don’t want it to work and you are blocking and closing down, clearly not wanting to really make the change, likely due to fear or you maybe think it’s silly, then of course it won’t work. With everything in this world, if you don’t want something to work then it won’t.

If you have a jar with a biscuit in it and the jar has a really stiff lid, but you’re not that hungry, you might not get the jar open because you don’t REALLY want it. If the jar has a cheque for a billion pounds inside, I’m pretty sure you will find a way of getting open that jar because of how much you want what’s inside.
If you really want to get results and get hypnotherapy then you will be able to be hypnotised.
