Frequently Asked Questions
You might be curious, nervous, or simply wondering how hypnosis actually works.
That’s completely normal.
Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions people ask before their first session.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Most people describe it as a state of deep calm — like being completely relaxed but still aware of everything around you.
Some people feel like they are just listening to me with their eyes closed whereas others drift in and out, as if asleep. How you feel is completely unique to you and there is no right or wrong way to feel.
For many, it’s similar to that feeling just before you drift off to sleep, or when you’re so absorbed in a good book that the world fades away.
You’ll hear everything I say, you’ll remember the session, and you’ll always be in control.
Will I lose control or do something I don’t want to?
Absolutely not.
Hypnosis can’t make you do anything you don’t want to. You’re fully conscious the whole time, just deeply relaxed and focused.
You can open your eyes, speak, or stop at any point if you wish.
It’s your mind, your choice, your session.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes.
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, natural process that uses your own ability to focus and imagine.
It’s safe, respectful, and designed to help your mind work for you, not against you.
If you’ve ever daydreamed, driven home on “autopilot,” or been lost in a movie — you’ve already experienced light states of hypnosis before.
Is online hypnosis as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes — often even more so.
Online hypnosis works exactly the same way because your mind does the work, not the room.
As long as you’re in a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed, the results are just as powerful.
Many clients even prefer online sessions because they can relax in their own familiar surroundings.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on what you’d like to work on.
Some issues, like fears or phobias, may shift within one or two sessions.
For deeper or long-term patterns like anxiety or confidence, most people notice real change within 3–6 sessions.
We’ll always review your progress together and go at a pace that feels right for you — no pressure, no long-term commitment.
What if I’ve had a difficult or traumatic past?
You don’t need to go into details for hypnotherapy to work.
I take a gentle, trauma-informed approach that focuses on helping you feel safe, calm, and in control.
We work with your mind’s natural healing ability, not by reliving painful experiences, but by releasing the emotional responses connected to them.
What happens in a session?
Each session begins with a relaxed chat so I can understand what’s been happening and what you want to achieve.
Then, I’ll guide you into hypnosis — a calm, comfortable state where your mind becomes open to positive change.
You’ll stay aware and in control throughout.
At the end, I’ll bring you gently back to full awareness, feeling refreshed, lighter, and often pleasantly surprised by how calm you feel.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes — every new client begins with a free 30-minute clarity call.
It’s simply a relaxed chat where we talk about what’s going on for you, what you’d like to change, and whether hypnosis is the right fit.
There’s no pressure to book — only if we both feel it’s the right next step will we arrange a session.
