How it all works

---

At West Beach Hypnotherapy we'll always begin with a no obligation, free 30  minute phone call. It can be hard to find the right therapist for you - this is a chance for you to ask any questions, and see if we can work together. I can outline my approach, and go over what you can expect from sessions. 

The next step is the 75 minute Initial Consultation. This important first session is slightly longer than standard, giving me the opportunity to listen carefully and gain a thorough understanding of your situation. Together we'll consider your therapy goals and come up with a tailored plan. A brief relaxation or introductory hypnosis session is usually offered at the end, to give you a taste of things to come. 

Standard sessions are 55 minutes long, and will include a brief progress review followed by deeper consideration of the changes you wish to make. This means talking through your thoughts, feelings and behaviours before applying techniques, such as hypnosis, to embed lasting change. 

It's not uncommon for me to assign tasks for you to complete between sessions. This could be as simple as listening to a relaxation recording or monitoring instances of pain, stress or sleeplessness, but it could be experimenting with a new way of dealing with a situation. We can then review how it went at our next session. Clients tend to make faster progress towards their goals when they fully commit to these 'assignments'.
