Getting to know each other is important and this is the opportunity to do this. I will ask some questions about your health and wellbeing and this will allow us to create the personal therapy for you and your needs.

​

It is important to understand how the brain works so I will give an explanation of this, which will help you get to understand how hypnotherapy will help and get you to being in control of your life. I will also explain the process of the following sessions so you know what to expect from each one.
