FAQs & Fees

What is hypnotherapy, and how does it work?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that utilises guided relaxation and focused attention to help you explore the root causes of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and to create positive, long-lasting changes in your life.

In hypnotherapy, we use hypnosis to help your body feel relaxed while your mind is focused and more open to suggestions. It is a similar state to the feeling of driving a familiar route ‘on autopilot’, or zoning out when watching a film, or scrolling on your phone. We all go in and out of hypnosis by ourselves every single day.

During hypnosis you are still aware of what is happening around you but your attention will be focused on one topic, so you will remain in control and not be made to do anything or say anything you do not want to do. It is a collaborative process where I use questions and suggestions to help you quickly uncover the answers and solutions you need from within you. It might be that you release an old belief or fear, see things from a different perspective, or rewire habituated patterns of thoughts, feelings or behaviour.

What issues can hypnotherapy and coaching help with?

Hypnotherapy and coaching can support a wide range of challenges; empowering you to overcome obstacles and achieve your desired outcomes.

There are many areas where hypnotherapy and coaching can be successfully used to help you. Here is a list of common areas; abuse, addictions (alcohol, smoking, substances), allergies, anger, anxiety, blushing, burnout, comfort eating, confidence, depression, eating disorders, exam nerves, fears, goals and planning, grief, habits, health, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, loneliness, memory, nail-biting, overwhelm, pain relief, panic attacks, performance anxiety, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, public speaking, purpose and identity, relationships, self-esteem, sexual problems, sports improvement, smoking, stress, stammering and stuttering, tinnitus, trichotillomania, vaginismus, and wellness.

Will you make me cluck like a chicken?

If you want to, then I can help you to!!

But seriously, no, I can’t make you do anything you don’t want to do. Hypnotherapy is a safe and natural therapeutic approach. You remain fully in control during the session, and it’s not possible to be made to do anything against your will. There is no brainwashing, no loss of control, and no clucking like a chicken.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your individual needs and goals.

As a guide, I’d recommend 3 sessions for a single issue. If the issue is more complex or for multiple issues, I’d recommend we have 6 sessions together.

Sessions are usually held either weekly or fortnightly, depending on your goals and how much processing and integration time you’d like between sessions.

In our introductory call, we will work together to create a bespoke plan that suits your timeline and objectives.

What can I expect during a hypnotherapy session?

We’ll start your first session by discussing your goals and any relevant background information. For subsequent sessions, we’ll review how things have been since the last session and set a focus for the session ahead.

I’ll guide you into a state of deep relaxation where we can access your subconscious mind, and use various techniques to address specific areas of focus and facilitate positive change. I’ll help you uncover what is holding you back, discover new options and possibilities, and release old beliefs, emotions and fears. You will be able to make changes from a really calm and grounded perspective, and help you reach your goals in a way that feels do-able for you.

Our sessions are a collaborative process where you’re actively engaged in your own transformation. If you need a more therapeutic-based session, we’ll spend more time in hypnosis exploring your inner world and making new connections. If you need a more practical, coaching-based session, we’ll spend more time using planning and goal-setting processes. It’s reactive to whatever you bring to the session, and we adapt to whatever comes up.

Can hypnotherapy be done online?

Yes, absolutely. As well as in-person sessions, I also offer online sessions using Zoom.

Online sessions are great if you are not local, or if you have limitations which means that in-person sessions could be prohibitive.

Many of my clients have used online sessions and have found them just as effective as in-person sessions.

Are there payment plans or discounted sessions?

Yes, payment plans can be arranged. Please get in touch to set up a payment plan.

Working together

3 Simple Steps…

1. Join me for an introductory call

Get in touch with me using the link below. I’d love to hear about what you’d like help with, your goals and aspirations, and any questions you might have.

We can chat via email, phone, Zoom or meet in-person in Cranbrook, Kent.

2. We'll create a personalised plan

We will explore your aims and aspirations for our time together, and get curious about what is currently helping and hindering you.

We’ll create a bespoke plan to act as our focus for our work together. This is less of a linear goal-orientated plan and more of a squiggly plan that works with the ebb and flow of your life.

3. Let's execute the plan together

Together we will change how you think, feel, and behave, and create a new way of showing up in your world.

We’ll discover the root cause/s behind the things that are holding you back and resolve them at the deepest level. You’ll overcome your limiting beliefs, uncover new options, and take steps to help you meet your goals.

Hayley

“I came to see Kate struggling with my identity after a career break. Through a combination of coaching and hypnosis Kate helped me attack my CV with excitement and confidence and within just two sessions I had a clearer idea of what I wanted to be doing and how to get there with renewed ambition and self-belief. The hypnosis helped me to bolster this confidence and focus on the tasks we had discussed in the sessions. Now I am ready to start contacting prospective employers and am excited about my next chapter.”

Jane

“The three sessions that I had with you, were absolutely mind blowing, I’ve been inspired and had the courage to “find” myself and to be more than just a partner and a mother. I have begun to formulate plans and strategies to both change the structure of my day and also how I perceive myself. Changes are most definitely being made! I also now realise that I do not require a label to define myself. I am me and that is enough.”

Louise

“I have tackled demons in my work, home life and finances so improvements have been made. You have been a huge help, inspiration to make the little changes and really made me look at life differently. Forgive myself from all the guilt and realise my happiness is important.”

Will

“I couldn’t thank you enough for your support and helping me move some issues forward and learn new ways to cope.”

Jane

“Kate has been amazing at helping me focus and see what’s important; helping me to get control of my overwhelm and take actionable steps to achieve my goals.”

Charlotte

“I have felt I have lost who I am, feel misunderstood, angry and anxious a lot of the time, being triggered very easily and not understanding why. Just one session with Kate took me to a place where I could regain my inner calm and realise who I am. I’d highly recommend that anyone reading this to take that step and contact Kate!”
