How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- 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
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.

Before you get in touch
How is this different from meditation?+
For clients in Repton (DE65) specifically: Meditation is generalised attention practice; clinical hypnosis is targeted therapeutic work with a defined outcome.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on the issue — habits and phobias are often 2–6 sessions; complex or trauma-linked work is longer.
What if I fall asleep?+
Sometimes clients drift; it does not stop the work — but the intent is a focused, awake state.
What does hypnosis actually feel like?+
Most people describe it as pleasantly relaxed, aware and absorbed — similar to being lost in a book or a piece of music.
Can I be hypnotised?+
Almost everyone can, if they choose to engage — hypnosis is a skill of paying attention, not a passive event.
