One to One Sessions, With & Without Hypnotherapy

What Is Hypnotherapy?

​

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis within a therapeutic setting to support emotional, psychological, and behavioural change. It is a collaborative process—never something done to you, but rather with you. As your therapist, I guide your attention and focus, while you follow along with the suggestions that are tailor made for your experience.

​

Hypnosis is not a battle of wills. Change cannot be forced or imposed. Instead, you are gently invited to enter a state of inner absorption, where your mind is more receptive and able to make meaningful changes from within.

 

How Hypnotherapy Supports Change

​

Much of what sustains our problems exists outside our everyday awareness. Hypnosis allows us to focus attention inward, which can then lead to powerful insights and awareness of unconscious patterns. This awareness becomes a doorway to healing.

In sessions, we combine therapeutic dialogue, focused questioning, and guided hypnosis to explore and shift:

• Unidentified beliefs underlying the issue

• Thoughts, feelings, and behaviours maintaining the problem

• Internal blocks to change and growth

​

When you allow yourself to fully engage in this process, your mind becomes open to transformation—often without conscious effort or struggle.

​

What to Expect in a Session

​

Sessions are responsive to your needs. You don’t spend the entire time in hypnosis. We begin with conversation, where we map out what’s happening for you and identify the most helpful path forward. Formal Hypnosis then takes place in the second half of the session; however, you may find that even before this, we move fluidly between guided trance and conscious dialogue.

​

While some styles of hypnotherapy use regression or probe into painful memories, I do not work this way. Research has shown that regression therapy can be distressing and unreliable. My approach is forward-focused: we may touch gently on the past to the extent it is necessary, but the emphasis is on resolving the issue you’re experiencing now and finding the path forward.

 

*A Note on the Experience

Hypnosis tends to be a deeply enjoyable, peaceful, and restorative state. When paired with effective therapeutic techniques, it can support remarkable shifts in how you feel, think, and move through life.

A Session Without Hypnosis

Sometimes, a client wishes to work with me without the hypnosis element involved and this is something I now offer. In these sessions, I provide you with insight about what it is you are and have been going through and I offer guidance on how you can best move forward. Although I am a certified Life Coach and Breathwork Facilitator, these sessions are much more than a ‘coaching’ session. Your session will be informed by years of therapeutic experience and technique and this will be heavily reflected in the work we do together. If this is the kind of session you would prefer, just let me know.

​

If you have any questions about the process, you're warmly invited to ask. My intention is always to make this experience safe, clear, and supportive of your healing.
