Hypnotherapy Q&As
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
I recommend a course of 7 hours, which includes 2 hours free, usually over five sessions. A few things take less, and I confirm your plan in the free consultation.

The 7-hour course
Most clients choose the 7-hour course, usually five sessions spread over several weeks, so each change has time to settle into ordinary life. Every session builds on the last: you report back on what has shifted, I fine-tune the approach, and you leave clear about the next step.
I'm confident you will make significant progress within those 7 hours. If you'd like further sessions for the same issue after that, every extra hour is half price, for as long as you choose to continue.
Shorter plans
- Stopping smoking: one focused double session of 2 hours.
- Self-hypnosis training: two 90-minute sessions.
- A single, clear phobia: usually only a few sessions.
How often
Sessions are spaced to suit your life, in person in Bournemouth or online by video. Where there's a date to work towards, such as a flight, a birth or a competition, I plan the sessions around it.
