How any sessions of Hypnotherapy will I need?

For all therapy an initial assessment consultation is essential. These will last for approximately one to one and a half hours. A full assessment is important to take a comprehensive history which allows us to formulate a course of therapy based upon you as an individual. This ensures that our therapy is more effective. You wouldnt expect to have cosmetic surgery without having a clinical assessment and tests. Hypnotherapy is no different, it is a clinical course of treatment not a magic trick.

Some people have fairly simple problems such as confidence, stop smoking, motivation, exam nerves or driving test anxiety. These will certainly require an assessment to formulate an acurate and effective approach following which will require one to four or five sessions of therapy with a complimentary Hypnosis tape for use in between sessions.

Some problems have emotional origins and require a course of analytical therapy to release and heal old traumas and unresolved complexes. Following the assessment we will clearer about whether your situation is like one of those. Analytical therapy can take 6 - 12 sessions. Some people will have more complex difficulties which will most certainly require more work and should look at an initial 6 sessions up to 12 sessions.

There will be others with more difficult problems like Chronic Severe Depression, Drug or alcohol addiction or severe anorexia or self harming who may require continued support after the initial stage of therapy. You will have some idea yourself just how longstanding and complex your problems are. My advice at this stage is be open minded, beware people who suggest that they can cure you in quick time without even having carried out a complete assessment. Desperation makes us do act impulsively at times and with a lot of wishful thinking. Try to slow down, know that you can get well again and that you need to invest some time in that change/healing process. If you are opting for private therapy then you will also be investing good money.
