Absolutely. I take your privacy very seriously. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of trust in the therapeutic relationship, and it allows you to feel safe and open during our sessions. There are two key ways your confidentiality is protected:

Intake Form: Before our initial assessment, you'll complete an intake form that includes your consent to providing personal information. This form also outlines our confidentiality agreement.

My Values: Growing up in a small town, I understand the importance of discretion. Just like you share personal information with me, I may also share details of my own healing journey during our sessions. This creates a space of mutual trust and understanding – what we discuss in our sessions stays between us.

Hypnotherapy leverages the mind's natural ability to rewire itself, a process known as neuroplasticity.

While some therapies focus on providing relief to the physical body, hypnosis can tap into the subconscious mind's innate ability to heal to address discomfort and can also target the root causes of issues (through suggestion and imagery) to help promote the creation of new, healthier neural pathways. This accelerated learning process leads to rapid and enduring changes in both mental and physical well-being.

Hypnotherapy also equips clients with tools and resources to promote physical relaxation to help regulate the nervous system, shift their perception of discomfort towards safety, and cultivate a compassionate and accepting relationship with their bodies. These practices empower clients to manage their healing process and reinforce the positive changes experienced during sessions. The collaborative effort between client and hypnotherapist is key to cultivating lasting improvements.

Predicting the exact number of hypnotherapy sessions is like trying to forecast the weather with complete accuracy; it's influenced by countless variables. Every individual's journey is unique, and the process of uncovering and addressing underlying issues varies significantly from person to person.

While my package options provide a general framework for the depth of therapy, it's essential to understand that these are estimates. As we delve into your specific concerns during our initial assessment, we might discover unforeseen factors that influence the treatment plan as we proceed. Hypnotherapy is a dynamic process, and the path to healing may evolve as we work together.

Our goal is to create a personalized approach tailored to your needs. Some individuals find relief after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from a more extended program. The key is to embark on this journey with an open mind and a willingness to explore the mind-body connection.

Ultimately, the number of sessions is less important than the progress you make. We'll work closely with you to assess your goals and develop a treatment plan that supports your healing process.

Success using hypnosis is dependent on many variables including the attitude, motivation, cooperation, and the attendance of scheduled sessions by the client. Human behaviour cannot be guaranteed, therefore, no hypnotherapy treatment can promise you results, because successful hypnosis requires a cooperative process of your commitment and a true desire for change. I will always do my best to help you achieve a successful outcome to your therapy. However, you accept that an agreement to work on an issue does not mean that a particular outcome to therapy can be guaranteed. Fees are payable for your sessions and the time and expertise of the therapist, regardless of the outcome. My promise is to bring 100% of my skill and expertise to help you achieve your goals in the quickest time possible. Results may differ from person to person.
