Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can Everyone Be Hypnotised? A: Anyone can be hypnotised as long as they are willing, and capable of listening to the therapist long enough to enter trance. Only psychiatric conditions such as psychosis are a contraindication for hypnosis.
Q: Does Hypnosis Take Away Self-Control? A: No. A hypnotherapist would never be able to force you to do anything you did not want to in trance. Hypnosis may help your mind to open a door, however it is ultimately your decision if you would like to walk through it.
Q: Can You Get “Stuck” In Trance? A: No. Experiments have demonstrated that even hypnotised people who are “left” in trance with no further instructions from the hypnotist all naturally awaken within 20-minutes, as if stirring from sleep. It is always possible for the hypnotherapist to bring you out of trance.
Q: Will Hypnosis Make Me Reveal Secrets? A: Hypnotherapy will help you to gain insight into your unconscious mind, potentially revealing suppressed thoughts and emotions to you. However, a hypnotherapist will never ask you to reveal anything you are not comfortable sharing, and can not force you to verbalise secrets you do not want to share when under hypnosis.
Q: How Long Does Hypnotherapy And EMDR Work For After Treatment Has Stopped? A: In most cases the positive effects of hypnotherapy & EMDR are permanent, but sometimes a patient may want a “booster” of additional hypnotherapy. For example, a patient treated for water phobia may desire additional sessions to prepare for swimming whilst wearing scuba apparatus. Once complete however, hypnotherapy & EMDR does not need to be repeated to maintain its effect long-term.
Q: How Accessible Is The Practice? A: Regrettably, the practice is not currently wheelchair-accessible due to short flights of stairs leading to the treatment room. Patients with mobility issues should also note that the treatment room is located at the end of a long corridor leading from the foyer. These factors are outside of the therapist's control.
