​
5. How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on the issue and the individual. Some people see results after just one session, while others may benefit from a few more. We’ll discuss a plan that works for you.
​
6. Is hypnotherapy safe?

​
7. What happens in a session?

​
8. Is online hypnotherapy as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes, absolutely. Online hypnotherapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions, provided you're in a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Many clients prefer the convenience and comfort of being in their own environment. The process is the same, I’ll guide you into a relaxed state and work with you just as I would face-to-face. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a private space.
