Frequently asked questions
What if I have tried CBT before and it didn't help?+
For clients in Burton-on-Trent (DE14) specifically: Many clients arrive after CBT. The AIP approach adds body-based and hypnotic work so change doesn't have to happen through thinking alone.
How quickly might I feel a difference?+
Most people notice a shift by session three or four; deeper work usually lands inside six to ten sessions.
Do you offer online sessions?+
Yes — secure video sessions across the UK, using the same integrative approach.
Do you prescribe medication?+
No. Medication is a matter for your GP, and this work sits alongside it — never against it.
Will I lose control under hypnosis?+
No. Clinical hypnosis is a focused, awake state — closer to guided attention than sleep. You stay fully in charge.
Booking your first session
Burton-on-Trent is close enough for weekly in-person sessions on the A38, and far enough that some clients prefer to work online. Either is fine — the approach doesn't change.
