Frequently Asked Questions
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of focused awareness achieved by relaxation. We experience this state on a daily basis. For example;
• When we watch a good movie
• When we feel totally absorbed reading a book
• When playing our favourite sport
• When riding a bicycle
• When we have a conversation with someone else
• When dancing, etc.
We focus so much doing something, that we exclude everything else. How many times we’ve been talking to a good friend just to realise later we’ve been chatting for a lot longer than we thought?: “my goodness, it’s been 2 hours!”
Hypnosis is a state of mental and often physical relaxation, very similar to the state you experience just before falling asleep, or just before waking up in the morning. During this time the subconscious mind is very receptive and can quickly access stored information.
Body asleep, mind awake: during hypnosis your body relaxes deeply and your mind becomes more aware than other times so:
• You are aware of everything, you can hear everything (you never lose consciousness)
• You don’t fall asleep
• You are always in control of yourself
If there was an emergency for example, you would be able to respond in a normal way, being fully alert.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Absolutely yes. Clients are always in control in the therapy room, so if they wish not to go into trance or they create an unconscious resistance then they will not go into trance. Karin will take time to ensure that a patient feels fully comfortable and prepared for a trance state. If there are underlying problems such as feeling out of control this will be discussed and treated out of trance so that in later sessions hypnosis will be available to the client if they so wish.
The truth is, we have all experienced ‘hypnosis’ before and continue to experience it everyday, therefore it is a familiar state for everyone.
Is hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is completely safe when working with Karin, she’s a fully qualified and experienced hypnotherapist.
All her clients enjoy the sessions, feel relaxed and at the same time very alert.
After the session you’re able to walk and drive as normal.

Will I say things I don’t really want to say?
No, during hypnosis you are alert and aware of what is happening, therefore you decide what information you feel ready to share. You’ll never be forced to disclose any private information.
Do you offer a free initial consultation?
Yes, I am more than happy to discuss any problem at length by email or by telephone. For most people this is sufficient to get answers to their questions.
What happens during the first session?
During the first session we discuss your problem. I’ll ask several questions to know more about you and I’ll explain how hypnosis works. This is the ideal time for you to ask questions and to clarify any doubts you may have.
At the end of the session I’ll send you by email an 18 minute recording for you to listen to everyday, this will help in between therapy sessions.
The first session is approx. 90 minutes long.
Whatever we discuss in the therapy room is strictly confidential.
How many sessions will I need?
Every person is different, therefore every session is tailored to each individual considering their problem and circumstances.
Some people feel they have accomplished their goal in one session; others may need more.
You are the one who decides how many sessions and how often.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes, we offer online therapy sessions.
Online sessions are a combination of counselling, hypnotherapy, NLP and Mindfulness techniques.
