3 steps to make your life more marvellous.

Getting started & your marvellous Journey:

• What happens during the Initial Consultation?
  The Initial Consultation is a warm, relaxed space where we meet (in person or online) to talk about where you are, where you want to be, and how to start reconnecting with that bright, confident side of yourself. I’ll explain the simple neuroscience of how the mind works; why stress or anxiety can hijack your thoughts, and how we can guide your brain back toward positive, constructive thinking. You’ll also leave with a free relaxation audio to begin tapping into that calm, marvellous mindset at home.

• Will we do hypnosis in the Initial Consultation?
  No, the first session is entirely focused on conversation, mapping out your goals, and understanding how your brain works. This ensures you feel completely comfortable, informed, and ready before we begin our hypnotic work in session two.

• How many sessions will I need to see a difference?
  Because Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is designed to get the best out of your present and future, it is brief and momentum-driven compared to traditional therapy. The number of sessions depends on what your goal is:

• Specific phobias: Typically 3 to 4 sessions.

• Anxiety, stress, confidence, or sleep: Usually 6 to 12 sessions.

• Smoking & Vaping cessation: A dedicated, single 2-hour session.

• Are sessions available online or in person?
  Both! Whether face-to-face or online, the experience is equally effective. Online sessions allow you to settle in, relax deeply, and embrace your therapy from the comfort of your own space.

Understanding the Mindset & Hypnosis:

• What does being in a trance feel like?
  Hypnosis is simply a natural state of relaxed, creative focus, much like daydreaming, getting lost in a great book, or driving a familiar route on autopilot. You’ll feel physically at ease while your mind stays quiet, clear, and open to positive change. It’s where your brain naturally processes ideas and reconnects with its inherent strengths.

• Can I get stuck in hypnosis or lose control?
  Not at all. You are always in the driver's seat. Hypnosis is a collaborative partnership to help you get the most out of your mind. You cannot be made to say or do anything against your will, and you can open your eyes or step out of trance whenever you wish.

• How is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy different from other therapy?
  Traditional talking therapies often spend time revisiting past painful memories or analyzing setbacks. Marvellous Thinking Hypnotherapy flips the script. We focus entirely on what’s working, where you want to go, and building small, upbeat habits that propel you into an inspired, fulfilling future.

Logistics & Suitability

• How should I prepare for my sessions?
  No complex preparation is needed. Wear comfortable clothes, ensure you have a quiet space without interruptions, and bring an open mind. The goal is simply to show up ready to focus on progress and positivity.

• Is hypnotherapy suitable for everyone?
  Hypnotherapy is a safe, empowering tool for the vast majority of people looking to make positive life shifts. However, it is not suitable for individuals currently experiencing active psychosis, severe unmanaged psychiatric conditions, or certain types of epilepsy. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out and we can discuss your situation safely.
