• Can I be hypnotised?
  

We have all been in some sort of trance at one moment or another. Have you ever drove back home and can't remember part of the journey? The moment that we call “automatic driving”? Do you remember watching a movie and being so focused that you lost track of time? These are types of trance that we experience in our daily life. As long as you are open to the process and are willing to let go, you can be hypnotized.

• Will I be doing unusual things?
  

There is an impression that you can do terrible things under hypnosis. The truth is that you can't do things that will go against your nature. As a clinical hypnotherapist, my aim is to help you achieve the goals set in a way that is natural and positive for you.

• Will I be talking?
  

When you are under hypnosis, depending on the therapy being used, the subconscious mind may be asked to speak. It will only be answering to specific questions regarding the issue that we are working on.

• Is what I am sharing confidential?
  

Everything that you tell me is confidential. All the notes and documents are protected and accessed by authorized staff only. As a clinical hypnotherapist belonging to professional associations, supervision is mandatory. If any case is discussed with the supervisor, the identity of the client will be kept confidential and no details allowing to discover identity of the client will be given. In exceptional circumstances, if the client intends to harm him/herself or others, I have the duty of care to take the necessary measures to try and prevent that. The confidentiality may be breached.

• How many sessions will I need?
  

Packages are offered for some issues like quit smoking and weight loss. For those, there is a number of sessions predetermined. For other issues, it depends on the severity of the issue and how you are responding to treatment. One person may take less time than someone else. It will be discussed on the phone at booking time. It can be modified after the first session depending on the outcome. Some clients may need less sessions and others a bit more.  

• Cancellation Policy
  

It is my aim to ensure that I offer all my clients the best possible service. Please help me run a smooth and professional service by observing the following booking conditions.
Cancellations: Please note that at least 72 hours notice is required to make a cancellation without charge. If less than 72 hours notice half fee applies, then full fee if less than 24 hours notice.
Payment: Investment for therapy - weight loss and quit smoking - will be discussed before booking. It is usual to pay for the full therapy programme upfront as it helps secure your commitment to the treatment. 
Packages : Prices are usually quoted per package and not per session. No refunds will be issued if you decide to terminate once therapy has already commenced. We do understand that life can get in the way and hold your therapy open for a maximum of 12 months from commencement, however we do not encourage this practice as it reduces the efficiency of the therapy. It is a contract between the therapist and the client. The therapist does her part and the client is expected to commit to the process and do his/her part.
Session times: Sessions are a maximum of one and a half hour as per appointment times. If you are more than 5 minutes late, it is unlikely that we will be able to extend the session accordingly.
