Hypnotherapy helps replace negative subconscious thoughts with more pleasant and positive thoughts and feelings.
Hypnosis is a form of guided meditation and whereby the client is gently induced into a trance like state. It is during this trance like state that the Hypnotherapist uses a range of therapeutic techniques to make suggestions to the unconscious mind that may then induce change to the client’s thoughts, behaviours and feelings.
The answer is no. During a hypnotic trance state you are still conscious and aware of your surroundings and what is being said to you. You’re very much able to make your own decisions whilst in therapy. You can stop a session at any time.
No. With hypnosis you are still conscious and therefore not asleep. Although at times it can be very a relaxing state and if really tired you may fall asleep although this is uncommon.
In many cases yes, almost everyone has the ability to be hypnotised to some degree, however there are some exceptions where hypnotherapy is not recommended, these include; very young children and those people with severe intellectual disabilities where verbal comprehension is difficult.
This really depends purely on the concern as well as willingness to change. The psychological issues that can be addressed with hypnotherapy tend to require 6 or more sessions to make a difference, the same with psychological therapies. In terms of smoking or over eating, differences have been found after one session, but can taper off if treatment has discontinued. Studies looking into the effect of 1 session to target smoking, found that most of the clients that managed to cut down after the first week had managed to quit smoking two years after the session.
Generally a session will last approximately 60 minutes

Hypnotherapy is not recommended for someone suffering from psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations / delusions or other major symptoms of psychosis.
