Frequently asked questions
How quickly might I feel a difference?+
For clients in Chaddesden (DE21) specifically: Most people notice a shift by session three or four; deeper work usually lands inside six to ten sessions.
What if I cry or feel overwhelmed in session?+
That's completely normal and welcome. The pace is set with you, never done to you.
Can I be seen without going through a GP?+
Yes. You can self-refer directly. A free 15-minute intro call is the usual first step.
Do you treat panic disorder specifically?+
Yes. Panic responds well to a combination of nervous-system regulation, hypnotherapy and a small piece of EMDR-informed work if there is a triggering memory.
What if I have tried CBT before and it didn't help?+
Many clients arrive after CBT. The AIP approach adds body-based and hypnotic work so change doesn't have to happen through thinking alone.
What actually happens in a session
- Step 1
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
- Step 2
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 3
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 4
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
