To determine whether Hypnotherapy is the right therapy for you, it’s important to know How Many Hypnotherapy Sessions Will I Need? Different therapies have different timescales; therefore, I like to offer some guidance, so you know what to expect.
The Consultation
I offer a free 30-minute consultation either by telephone, in person in my therapy room, or over Zoom. This will help you find out if Hypnotherapy is the right choice for you. We talk in confidence about your concerns and goals for the therapy. I’ll explain how the sessions work and the commitment required by yourself. At this stage you will have a clearer answer to How Many Hypnotherapy Sessions Will I Need.
The Sessions
Should you decide to work with me, all sessions moving forward are 60-minutes. At the first session, I always explain how the brain works and why we face challenges in our lives that stand in our way. I go through some coping techniques with you to help your general well-being. You are sent a recording to listen to every night too.
Sometimes the sessions may go slightly over time. Therefore, if you are tight on time, please let me know and I will endeavour to keep on track!
Number of Sessions
To establish How Many Hypnotherapy Sessions Will I Need, will depend on the outcome you are working towards. What you are seeking the hypnotherapy to help with. My website has more information on what concerns Hypnotherapy can support you with.
Please be aware, these time frames are only a guide with results varying for each individual. I cannot guarantee a time frame for your treatment but will provide sessions for as long as you need.
Fears & Phobias
If you have a fear or phobia, then three sessions are sufficient. We use a specialised technique to help you gain control over the phobia, so it no longer concerns you. Have a read of Ivy’s story to understand more about the process.
“Having just undergone a course of hypnotherapy for fear of flying with Jo, I can hand on heart say she has put me in a much better place, and has made me feel calmer, more confident & helped with my concerns.”
Mind Reboot
The Mind Reboot program is a therapeutic process delivered over seven sessions, using a combination of neuroscience, Hypnosis, NLP, EFT, and Solution Focused principles to create fast measurable results.
It is designed for people who are stuck in a rut with their mental health, have past traumas, have a limiting belief about themselves, or are struggling with extreme stress or anxiety, all stopping you from moving forward with your life. By following the program, you will be healing yourself and you will get the results you want.
“My anxiety has literally left the building.”
“A mind reboot might be seen as an essential tool for kick starting better mental health. By taking the time to reset our brains we can improve our focus, reduce stress, and truly gain a fresh perspective on our lives.”
Session by session
To help gain control of your life and when dealing with poor sleep patterns, anxiety, or low mood, you will generally expect to have between six and twelve sessions. Dependant on your individual needs.
My client was happy with the results after four sessions.
“Had 4 sessions with Jo, and without her I would never be where I am now. Jo worked with me to help build my confidence to deal with my health, basically she retrained my mind to slow down, live in the moment, stop the constant worry about what was to come, or even not to come. I would recommend Jo 100%.”
On the other hand, I have seen clients recovering from addiction, or with extremely low mood, for over 20 sessions.
“I know I wouldn’t be here today without your help, thank you.”
We start with weekly sessions, then spread the time between appointments to once a month or so.
You may like to have a reminder session every so often. Somewhat like having a regular massage for your brain. It really is what works best for you.
Smoking cessation
The Smoking cessation is generally done in one long specialised session. However, if there is an element of anxiety, then the Mind Reboot can be done first, or split the cessation into a couple of sessions. We can discuss your concerns at the consultation.
“Jo helped me to quit smoking by hypnotherapy. I have smoked for 20 years and failed to give up on numerous occasions. The experience was a lot easier than I had anticipated. I highly recommend her professional service.”
