Hypnotherapy Consultation in Salisbury, Christchurch and New Forest

At the first appointment, I will initially ask you to complete a Client Registration form (unless you have already received one prior to the appointment), which gives me some basic details about yourself. Then we spend as much time as is necessary to talk about what it is you’d like to achieve from the sessions and the therapies which may be most suitable for you. When you’re ready and feel comfortable with everything we’ve talked about, we proceed with the therapy itself.

This appointment tends to be longer than subsequent ones owing to the additional background information I need to obtain from you at the start.

There are several different forms of hypnotherapy. At Inspiring Changes, I predominantly use Ericksonian hypnotherapy, which uses a more informal, conversational approach to induce hypnosis. There are no swinging watches or staring into eyes which can sometimes be associated with hypnotherapy! I simply talk to you until your unconscious feels comfortable about entering a deeply relaxed trance state. Therapeutic suggestions and techniques are then used to change the patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings, that you no longer wish to have.

Depending on the issue(s) you wish to resolve, a client can expect to need between three and six sessions. However, sometimes just one session is sufficient for effective, permanent change. Similarly, there will be some who require further help and therefore more sessions may be required.

In subsequent sessions we will build on the progress made in previous ones. We will discuss what changes have occurred and how your thoughts, feelings and behaviour have changed in-between appointments. Sometimes new issues may come to light and we can work through those as well to ensure that all issues have been resolved, until no further therapy is required.

In some instance, self hypnosis may be taught to the client in order that they can then use this as and when required.

You are under no obligation to continue therapy and may of course, terminate treatment at any time.
