Frequently Asked Questions

How many appointments will I require?
This is quite a difficult question to answer, as everybody is different. However, the vast majority of my clients require only one appointment.

How much do you charge?
My standard fee is £140. If, after the initial appointment, additional appointments are required then these would be at the reduced rate of £25. However - the vast majority of my clients require only one appointment.

I am on a low income, do you offer discounts?
I offer discounts to individuals who are genuinely unable to afford the full appointment fee. Please contact me on 0800 0196 007 for further details.

Do you offer home visits?
In addition to seeing clients at my Maidstone office I also offer home visit appointments. Please contact me on 0800 0196 007 for further details.

How do I book an appointment?
The fastest way to book an appointment is to speak to me directly by calling 0800 0196 007. However, please also feel free to email me if you would rather.

How soon can I have an appointment?
If it is an emergency, then I can generally see clients the same day they phone. If it is not an emergency, then appointments are usually available within 7 days.

What does hypnosis feel like?
Different people report different sensations whilst they are in hypnosis. Some report feeling vivid, yet pleasant, daydreams accompanied by a feeling of dissociation and others report feelings of intense relaxation. I find that the only common thread which runs though all of these reports is that they feel better upon awaking afterwards.

Can you guarantee to cure my problem?

Unfortunately no therapy or medicine can claim to be 100% effective, and I cannot guarantee to cure all problems. However, I can report that the very vast majority of my clients are happy with their sucsess.

What happens during the appointment?
During the appointment we will spend a while discussing what it is that you would like me to help you with. I will then gently guide you into hypnosis and help you work through your problem.

Did you specialise during your training?
Yes. I spent additional time (in addition to my training) researching the rapid treatment of depression and anxiety disorders.

Am I allowed to have a friend with me during a session?
Yes. You are allowed to invite someone to accompany you during the appointment, if you wish

What do the letters after your name stand for?
'D.Hyp.Psych (UK)' is my primary qualification. This means that I am qualified to work as a hypnotherapist. 'GHR (reg)' means that I am on the General Hypnotherapy Register. "GQHP' is an acronym for General Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice which is a level of qualification awarded by the General Hypnotherapy Register. 'NRH' is another acronym awarded by the General Hypnotherapy Register which stands for 'Nationally Registered Hypnotherapist'.

Are evening or weekend sessions available?
Yes. The earliest appointment time is 8am and the latest appointment time is 10pm.

Do you record the sessions?
Not usually. However if you would like me to make you a DVD of the appointment then I would be happy to do so. There would be a small additional charge for this service.

Can you help children?
Yes, provided they are over the age of 8 years old. All children need to be accompanied by an adult in the appointment.
