How does hypnotherapy work?
Solution-focused hypnotherapy works by guiding you into deep relaxation to access your subconscious mind. Combined with positive suggestion, it can shift negative thought patterns, help reduce stress and promote positive change, supporting lasting transformation and a mindset that fosters growth.
Will I lose control and do something I don’t want to do?
No. You remain in control at all times, even during hypnosis. A hypnotherapist cannot make you do anything you wouldn’t normally do. Trance is a natural state of deep relaxation, and you can return to full awareness whenever you choose. There’s no need to worry, you’re always in charge.
How can I increase the success of my therapy?
Success in therapy comes from your commitment to attend sessions, engage fully, and have a strong intent to change. Listening to the relaxation download each night supports the process, helping to reinforce positive changes and maintain lasting transformation.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the issue and your commitment to the process. Generally, most people stop vaping or smoking after one session, specific phobias take around 4 sessions, and anxiety, behaviour changes, or performance goals will usually require 6+ sessions. Every client requires an Initial Consultation before starting hypnotherapy.
Why do I need an Initial Consultation?
The Initial Consultation is necessary for hypnotherapy to understand your goals, ask questions, explain the therapy process, address any concerns or misconceptions about hypnosis, and create a tailored approach that aligns with your specific needs and aspirations. It sets the foundation for your success. You’ll experience a brief trance session at the end, allowing you to feel the process and begin working with your subconscious mind right away.
What happens if I cancel or want to re-arrange a session?
Sometimes things come up, and that's ok. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give notice, and we’ll be happy to adjust your appointment. Cancellations or no-shows without enough notice will still incur the full session charge.
Are Hypno With Jo sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is essential to the therapist-client relationship, so all Hypno With Jo sessions are kept strictly private. However, in certain situations, such as a risk of harm to yourself or others, the therapist may need to break confidentiality. This will be explained during your first session. In some cases, therapists may need to share notes, for example, if you see more than one therapist.
Where does the therapy take place?
Online sessions are available weekdays, evenings and weekends (London, UK time).
You'll just need a quiet space, where you can relax undisturbed, and good WIFI connection.
In-person sessions are available every Wednesday at the Hands On Clinic, 5 Cedar House, Caen St, Braunton, Devon, EX33 1AH, UK.
