Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy uses focused relaxation to work with habits and responses that sit below everyday awareness, the things you can describe clearly but cannot seem to think your way out of. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep, confidence, unwanted habits and specific fears.
You are not unconscious and you are not out of control at any point. You stay aware throughout, you can stop whenever you wish, and nothing happens that you have not agreed to first. Sessions are one to one with Kingsley, a member of the National Hypnotherapy Society, and last 45 minutes.
Fees: a hypnotherapy session lasts 45 minutes and costs £100. If you would prefer to talk things through first, an Initial Consultation is 45 minutes at £75. See all fees.
A first session begins with a relaxed conversation about what you would like to change, before moving into gentle guided relaxation, so nothing feels unfamiliar or rushed.
How hypnotherapy can help
Hypnotherapy uses focused relaxation to help you make changes that are hard to reach in ordinary conversation, with things like anxiety, sleep, confidence and unwanted habits. It is gentle and collaborative, and can be used on its own or alongside talking therapy.
Fees
Hypnotherapy sessions are £100, in person in South Shields or by secure video. Full fees for every service are on the fees page.
Common questions
Will I be aware of what is happening?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is not sleep and it is not loss of control. You stay aware throughout and can stop at any time.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you are working on. We talk this through at the start, and there is no fixed commitment.
Can it be combined with counselling?
Yes. Many people use hypnotherapy alongside talking therapy, and we can shape the two around what suits you.
