You remain fully in control at all times during the sessions.
As your therapist, I guide you into hypnosis so that you can let go of unhelpful beliefs or destructive habits and replace them with positive, constructive ones that support you to make the changes you want.
I work together with you, at at your pace in a way that enables you to achieve your goals.
