FAQ - Anxiety, Depression, Trauma & PTSD Treatment

There are 3 types of change from therapy - every person is different:

i. Immediate: You feel a massive shift right away - immediate changes in your physiology, thoughts and behaviours right in the
session.

ii. Incremental: You see consistent shifts every day, or over time.

iii. Retroactive: You don’t see the shifts right away and then one day you suddenly look back and see all of the things that are different in
your life.

You may be surprised what comes up in therapy.  Even if you think you know the reason, you see it in a COMPLETELY new way. That’s what allows you to change the meaning and ultimately, change your beliefs and perception.

And for many clients they go back to scenes that are totally different than what they expected. J

ust relax and trust that your subconscious mind will show you exactly what you need to see.

I don't watch the clock.

Each  session lasts between 90 minutes to 2.5 hours.

For that reason, I ask you block of a full 2.5 hours in your calendar to make sure you’re not rushed and that you get the most out of the therapy session.

The experience feels different for different people.

Some people feel a floating sensation, some do not.

Others may feel sleepy, some do not.

Most people feel relaxed and at ease. What’s most important is to know that how you feel isn’t an indicator of how effective it is. Regardless of what it feels like - it’s working. I promise.

No, that is a common misconception.

You have complete control at all times. You can talk, move your body, get a tissue, even get up and leave (I’ve had clients who had to stop to use the bathroom).

If our Zoom call gets disconnected you may drift into sleep if you’re really relaxed, but eventually you’ll notice that you’re not hearing my voice and open your eyes.

What I do is not magic - it’s neuroscience.

Hypnotherapy  works by creating a burst of brain waves that are the same as when you’re in REM.

That’s what allows you to access the subconscious mind. It’s very easy and anyone can do it, you’ll see for yourself when you do it too.

If you go back to events that are related to things like sexual , emotional or physical abuse, or other trauma, it’s important to remember that you are not reliving that scene, you are simply reviewing it and that you are safe.

I will support you and create a safe space for you to express your emotions and heal - you will be OK.

I am very adept at communicating with oppressed and marginalised community members, or anyone who may feel that elements of their life make it difficult - for whatever reason - to discuss private details. ​

I am pretty much unflappable and I do not judge.

I see people all over the world, distance is not an issue.

I use Zoom for online therapy sessions as it is secure and encrypted which ensures my duty to confidentiality.
