How Does Hypnosis Work?

Hypnosis isn't about losing control- It's about gaining control.

Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of relaxation where your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions. It’s similar to being deeply absorbed in a book or daydream—your body is relaxed, but your mind is highly receptive.

Your subconscious mind is where habits, beliefs, and emotions are stored. It drives most of your automatic behaviours, from how you respond to stress to the cravings you experience. That’s why lasting change happens when we work directly with the subconscious—bypassing resistance and reprogramming patterns at their source.

Through guided hypnosis, I help rewire unhelpful thought loops, reduce stress, and reinforce healthier habits. Whether you want to ease anxiety, have a phobia, manage perimenopause symptoms, overcome cravings, or quit smoking, hypnosis helps you create lasting change by working with your subconscious, not against it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypnotherapy, and how does it work?

Hypnotherapy is a natural, guided process that helps you access your subconscious mind—the part that controls habits, emotions, and automatic behaviours. In a relaxed state, you become more open to positive suggestions, allowing you to break unwanted patterns and create lasting change.

Will I lose control during hypnosis?

No, you remain in control at all times. Hypnosis is a state of deep focus and relaxation, similar to daydreaming. You can hear everything and will only accept suggestions that align with your goals and values.

Is there anyone who should not be Hypnotised?

Most people can be hypnotised, but hypnotherapy is not be suitable for individuals with severe mental health conditions like schizophrenia or psychosis.

Certain medications can also affect how well hypnosis works, particularly those that alter brain function, relaxation, or focus. These may include:

Antipsychotics (e.g., for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) – Can affect perception and responsiveness.

Benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax) – Can make it harder to engage in hypnosis due to sedation.

Some Antidepressants (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs) – May reduce emotional responsiveness, impacting the depth of hypnosis.

Strong Painkillers (Opioids) – Can dull awareness, making it harder to focus.

If you're on medication and unsure about hypnosis, it's always best to check with your doctor first.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the issue you want to address. Some changes, like quitting smoking, can happen in just one session, while others, such as anxiety relief or weight management, may require multiple sessions for the best results. I find that 4 sessions with reinforcements from my online programs work well. We will discuss this further in your initial consultation and session.

Can hypnosis help with perimenopause symptoms?

Yes! Hypnosis can help reduce anxiety, brain fog, mood swings, and even physical symptoms like hot flushes. By reprogramming your subconscious response to stress and discomfort, hypnotherapy makes it easier to manage perimenopause naturally. not to mention the diet and lifestyles changes that also help to reduce symptoms.

What does a session involve?

Your first session will be slightly longer as we explore your goals and challenges. You’ll then be guided into a relaxed state where we’ll work on rewiring your subconscious patterns. Each session is tailored to you, and follow-ups last up to one hour.

Is online hypnotherapy as effective as in-person sessions?

Yes! Online sessions are just as effective, allowing you to experience hypnotherapy from the comfort of your home. All you need is a quiet space and a stable internet connection.
