This depends on whether you are choosing suggestion therapy or analytical therapy. First we meet in the Expererience The World Different Office. We go through the intake form - this usually tells us whether suggestion therapy or analytical therapy is more appropriate.

Suggestion Therapy
(For Smoking, Weight Management, Simple Phobias, Nail-biting and Pre-test/Exam nerves. One session only is required which includes a Free Hypnotherapy Tape for Solution-Focused Therapy on the symptoms you consult with. The personalised Hypnotic CD/MP3 will maximise the desire for change as you enjoy the most rapid and powerful results.
Note: There is no Introductory Talk necessary for Suggestion Therapy.

Analytical Therapy
(For all problems other than those mentioned above under Suggestion Therapy.
Requires separate weekly sessions of approx. 50 minutes. This is a totally confidential, non judgemental, private and individual therapy. The first session is concerned with finding out about your problem and assessing how best to treat it. The next few sessions involve symptom relief and building your self hypnosis skills. Finally we get to the analytical therapy, where we investigate the subconscious root source(s) of the symptom. The unlocking of root sources of symptoms are frequently associated with a cathartic release of pent up emotion. Next comes relearning - an adult understanding, or an alternative understanding at a subconscious level of the distress causing event(s). All through this process techniques are used to minimise any possible distress - it is frequently possible to resolve issues completely at a subconscious level without having to bring the issue to consciousness.

Hypnosis can treat:- Smoking, Slimming, Drinking, Nail-Biting, Some Skin Disorders, Allergies,
Nervous Tension & Anxiety, Phobias, Fears & Compulsions, Nightmares, Insomnia, Sexual Problems, Enuresis, Shyness & Blushing, Nervousness & Decision Making, Public Speaking & Confidence,
Migraines, Addictions, Asthma, Blood Pressure, Blushing, Claustrophobia, Eating Disorders, Emotional Problems, Frustrations, Guilt Feelings, Headaches, Inhibitions, Irritable Bowel, Menstrual Tension, Pain Control, Panic Attacks, Shame.

Memory, Motivation, Relaxation, Self-Esteem, Study, Sports Motivation, Fear of Childbirth, Depression, Survivors of abusive childhoods, Child Abuse, and Trauma,
And many other problems where emotional or psychological forces are involved.

Note that a lot of the symptoms mentioned above would have to be treated in co-operation with your medical practitioner - Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy, not an alternative therapy.

Stop Smoking Therapy (Usually Suggestion Therapy)
First we will list out the pros and cons of smoking as you see them. We discuss how you keep yourself smoking. We establish whether one session of suggestion therapy will be sufficient for you to stop smoking, or whether analytical therapy would be more appropriate. If we choose suggestion therapy, then I convert everything we discussed about smoking into positive motivations to stop smoking, and using hypnosis we sell those motivations to your subconscious mind. After therapy, you use your personalised hypnosis recording to strengthen your motivation to remain a non-smoker. CLICK HERE FOR THE STOP SMOKING BROCHURE

Simple Phobia Cure (Suggestion Therapy)
First we will discuss the phobia(s) you are finding inconvenient. We will establish whether it is a simple phobia or a complex phobia which will need analysis. (Rule of thumb: If you know why you are phobic about something, it is a simple phobia). We then use hypnotic desensitization techniques and while you are hypnotised we collapse the mental anchor(s) that triggers your phobia(s).

Weight Management (Usually Suggestion Therapy)

First we will discuss what you want to achieve. We discuss what you have tried up to this. We discuss what is stopping you now from achieving your ideal healthy weight. We establish whether one session of suggestion therapy will be sufficient for you to manage your weight, or whether analytical therapy would be more appropriate. If we choose suggestion therapy, then I convert everything we discussed into positive motivations to help you to achieve your ideal weight, and using hypnosis we sell those motivations to your subconscious mind. After therapy, you use your personalised hypnosis recording to strengthen your motivation to achieve and keep your ideal weight.

Nail Biting (Usually Suggestion Therapy)

First we will talk about the pros & cons of nail biting as you experience them. We identify the times and situations when you are likely to start biting your nails. Assuming the nail biting is just a habit*, I convert everything we discussed into positive motivations to stop nail biting which are sold to your subconscious mind under hypnosis. At the times and situations where you used to bite your nails, you will take a few deep breaths instead - the "bite your nails" trigger is replaced by a "take a couple of deep breaths" trigger.

        * Nailbiting may possibly be a symptom of something that requires analytical treatment (usually identified while we are going through the intake form).

Pre-test/Exam Nerves

Assuming you have prepared for your text/exam, we investigate any fears you have about the upcoming test or exam. We explore past experiences where you did not perform to your potential, and your self confidence will be high going into your test or exam. If there is study you need to do in advance of your exam - but you find it difficult to commit to study, or to concentrate when you do study, you will learn methods to motivate yourself to study, methods to knuckle down and concentrate fully while studying, and you will find that it is so much easier to remember things as you enjoy your study.
