Next Steps with Positive-Hypnosis

There are many mistaken beliefs about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. We have explained some of the more frequently asked questions below and at Positive-Hypnosis, we would be happy to talk to you further if you have any additional questions or concerns.


INITIAL CONTACT & LENGTH OF TREATMENT

You can request a FREE initial telephone conversation to see if hypnosis is for you. This will allow us to get some basic information about you and allow you to ask any questions before taking any decision to progress. Otherwise, if you wish, a no obligation first appointment can be arranged for you to meet a therapist for a face to face discussion or alternatively, online.

.

The first session is usually 60-90 minutes. Our therapist will spend time with you to take a clinical history, gain some information on your lifestyle and get to know you better. This discussion contributes to building trust and confidence. A full explanation of what hypnotherapy involves and what it is will be given to you. Goals for therapy are discussed and agreed, and any questions will also be dealt with at this time. 


If you are willing to proceed, the treatment plan will be outlined, and your first hypnosis experience will probably be in this first session


For certain conditions (such as smoking cessation), a single, longer, intensive session may be sufficient but for most consultations, the treatment plan may cover 4-7 sessions. These may be weekly of more infrequent depending on the individual’s needs and specific circumstances. As you become more familiar with the experience of trance and hypnotherapy, you may find that you are entering a deeper and more relaxing place each time. 


Overall, our aim at Positive-Hypnosis is to provide the most effective treatment in a comfortable and caring environment, and, whilst improvement may be seen after a couple of sessions, some scenarios may require a greater number of sessions based on the presenting problem and personal circumstances. These subsequent sessions will usually last either 60 or 90 minutes. In addition to the sessions, you will probably be taught self-hypnosis and may be given ‘homework’ to support your treatment plan.


WHERE ARE YOU BASED & HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? 

Positive-Hypnosis is based in the Auckland area (Parnell & North Shore) and we may consider travelling as well conducting remote online sessions. We understand that many people are committed during normal working hours and therefore, we are happy to accommodate evening and weekend consultations. Costs may vary with the treatment plan, and we can provide further information at the initial contact. 


A condition of confirming an appointment is that we reserve the right to levy a fee equal to the treatment costs if an appointment is not kept or it is cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice.
