How Many Sessions?

A common question is, 'How many sessions will I need'?

Answer: The number of session required will depend upon many things.

However as a rough guide only: smoking cessation will normally require just one double session, and in my experience:

Weight control usually needs 4 - 6 sessions, stress and general anxiety management 4 - 6, driving test/flying fears 2 - 3, exam nerves 1 - 3. Problems with deeper anxiety and panic attacks can often be resolved within 4 - 8 sessions depending upon the depth of emotional anxieties.

The time required also depends upon the style of working I will need to use to help you overcome your problem(s). Many problems can be very successfully dealt with using hypnotic suggestion which is by far the quickest route to use when it may be effective. For deeper routed problems, it may be necessary to use hypnoanalysis which will take longer but it is usually very successful when it is the most appropriate form of therapy. In many cases a little of each will be used, and often nuero-linguistic programming techniques and cognitive psychotherapy will be used as part of a successful treatment. I occasionally use kinesiology techniques to aid in a complete therapy plan where this may prove useful as I am a fully qualified kinesiology practitioner.

Whatever your problem and whatever changes you wish to make to your life, I will be happy to work with you to achieve success commencing with first session. I am a generalist practitioner with a special interest in helping people resolve issues related to stress, anxiety, traumatic events and negative programming.
