Services are carried out in accordance with The Code of Ethics and Standards as prescribed by The National Hypnotherapy Society (https://nationalhypnotherapysociety.org/about-us/code-of-ethics) & The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (https://nationalcounsellingsociety.org/about-us/code-of-ethics).

Can I claim for my sessions through my private health insurance?

Will I unintentionally reveal all my secrets?

The emphasis is on harnessing your inner resources for positive change, with utmost respect for your privacy and boundaries.

Do the benefits of hypnotherapy endure over time?
