How many sessions?

Naturally, people want to know how much time and money they may need to invest to overcome their problem.

I never claim to ‘cure’ conditions, or to fix problems in 1 session. I have actually seen other hypnotherapists (though they are very much in the minority) claim to cure eating disorders and OCD in 1-2 sessions. In my experience this is impossible. OCD and Eating disorders are complex and often require a team of professionals and/or a multi angle approach to find what works in order to manage it. Hypnotherapy can be a part of this- it can be very effective in bringing stress and anxiety levels down which enhances the problem.

It is difficult to make a guesstimate on many sessions will be required as everyone is very different. I’ve had some people make positive change with only one session and are able to continue alone, others I’ve seen for many more. Usually hypnotherapy is a short term therapy, however I do see some clients on a longer term basis because they like it! You are the expert on you; you will know when you don’t need to come anymore.

There are some exceptions; some fears and phobias can be dealt with in 3 sessions and smoking cessation is often only one session.

Much like weight loss- if it’s a quick fix that seems too good to be true, it probably is! If you’re willing to invest time and commitment to yourself then please feel free to get in touch.
