Who can benefit from hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy can benefit anyone who is looking to improve their mental health or overcome certain habits or behaviours. It is especially useful for individuals who have tried traditional therapies without success.

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, clinical hypnotherapy is generally safe when conducted by trained professionals. It employs techniques that help create a calm, supportive environment, ensuring client comfort during the process.

What is the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis refers to the state of relaxation and concentration, while hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. Hypnotherapy involves a trained hypnotherapist guiding the client through the hypnotic state to address specific issues.

How quickly can results be expected?

Outcomes vary by individual. Many clients notice improvements within a few sessions, while others may require longer-term treatment to see significant changes.

Can I book a consultation call with you to see if we are the right fit?

Yes, absolutely!

How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the issue being addressed. Some individuals may see results after just one session, while others may require several sessions to achieve their desired goals.

How long are the sessions?

Typically 60-75 minutes per session.

Note: Please allow 90 minutes for the initial session, and not schedule anything else immediately after.

Do you have availability for sessions after work (4pm and later) and weekends?

Yes! It can be arranged by request.

I don't drive. Can I have my sessions at my home?

Yes! I offer sessions in my client's home - either in person or online.

I don't live in the Fraser Valley - Do you travel?

Yes! I offer in-person sessions within Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

What happens if I fall asleep during the session?

While it can happen, it's not common for someone to fall completely into sleep during a session in my experience. You can drift off, it's completely okay, and your mind will still take in what's helpful for you.

Would I do 1 session a week or I can have 2 sessions? Is there time needed between each session?

Typically in the beginning I'd recommend weekly, and increase the interval for later sessions. Repetition and accumulation over time helps reinforcing new patterns and allowing clients to notice change and progress.

Hypnosis is effective with a large number of issues and areas. However, Hypnosis’ Practitioners do not under any circumstance, diagnose any illnesses or conditions nor do they purport to replace the treatment of a Medical Doctor or Psychotherapist. Should a Hypnosis Practitioner suspect that a client undergoing Hypnosis is suffering from an undiagnosed illness or condition, they would refer the client to their primary care physician.

Hypnosis cannot, and should not, stand alone as the sole medical or psychological intervention for any disorder. Hypnosis should not be used instead of appropriate medical, dental, or psychological treatment, and any individual with a medical or psychological problem must consult a qualified health care provider for diagnosis and professional advice. Hypnosis should only be practiced by those who have been appropriately trained, who practice appropriately, and within the scope of their training, rules and legislation.
