Frequently Asked Questions
✨ What happens in a session?
We start with a conversation — understanding what you want to change and how we'll get there. Then we use gentle guided relaxation, visualisation and positive suggestion to help your mind accept new, helpful perspectives. You remain fully in control throughout — you can speak, move or end the session at any time.
🆓 Is the first consultation really free?
Yes — completely free and with no obligation. It's simply a chance to meet, talk through what you're experiencing, and decide if we're the right fit. No sales pressure — just honest conversation.
⏱️ How long will it take to feel better?
Most clients see clear changes in 4–6 sessions. Phobias often shift in just 3–5; anxiety and confidence typically take 4–8. We review progress at every visit — and I promise: not one session too many.
📍 Where are you based?
My clinic is in North Swindon (SN25) with free on-site parking. Easily reached from Cirencester via the A419 in around 15–20 minutes. Serving clients across Swindon, Cirencester, the Cotswolds and throughout Wiltshire.
💤 Is hypnotherapy safe? Will I lose control?
It is completely safe and natural — similar to daydreaming. You hear everything, remember everything, and stay in control. You can open your eyes or stop at any moment. It's simply a deeply relaxed state where your mind is most open to positive change.
