This is not possible. If after putting someone in to a hypnotic trance, the hypnotist was to suddenly drop dead, of two things would happen;

• The client will immediately wake up or "shock awaken"

• The client will fall in to a normal sleep and awaken when he/she is ready.

There is absolutely no chance of anyone being "locked" in hypnosis forever.

Yes, every human being can be hypnotised with the following three exceptions:

• Young children under approx. 5 years of age. 

• Severely mentally disturbed.

• People who choose not to be hypnotised.

People do go in to different depths of hypnosis but hypnotherapy can be of benefit to everyone that is wanting change. 

No, you will always be in full control of everything you say. There is no question of being in the power of the hypnotist and made to do things you don't want to do. 

However, anything shared by you is treat with the strictest of confidentiality.

No, you will neither be asleep or awake but somewhere in the middle. You will be in a state in which all of your natural senses will be around 30% more efficient than usual. You will be fully aware of what is going on at all times. 

It feels very much like when you're having a vivid dream.

No, you will not. A person in hypnosis is in total control of the situation at all times. 

Although the word "sleep" is used frequently in hypnosis, a person in hypnosis is not actually asleep. In fact he/she is neither wide awake nor asleep, but somewhere in between and the unconscious mind is in a heightened state of awareness

Therefore, you will not be "made to dance around like a chicken".

The free constulataion is the perfect time for you and I to get to know each other; so that I can understand what you are wanting to achieve from working with me. I will use this time to ask you some questions so that I can better tailor your therapy sessions to suit your needs.

While the consultation is free of charge, a valid debit/credit card is required to make the appointment and failure to attend will incur a charge of £20.

Absolutely not.

There is no point in pressuring you to work with me, this will not create a good rapport and will make the work very difficult.

The duration of your therapy will depend on your circumstances and the reason for which you are seeking hypnotherapy. If you are seeking hypnosis for a one-off service, I will deliver hypnotherapy in a single session of up to 2.5 hours.

However, other issues may require a longer term approach with regular sessions.

Yes. I charge one single fee that is paid upfront at your first session. Accepted payment forms are debit/credit card, cash, bank transfer (funds cleared 24 hrs prior to appointment). 

Alternatively you can spread the cost over a maximum term of 12 months with a deposit of £78.70. Please enquire for further information. 

Initial Session 2 - 2.5 hrs

Follow up session 1.5 - 2 hrs

Stop smoking session 2 hrs

Hypnotherapy for young people and children is both safe and very effective. Children naturally use their unconscious mind and their imagination frequently, so they tend to respond very well to hypnotherapy. That being said, I will only work with children if it is something that your child wishes to do. 

I certainly do. Online sessions are conducted through Zoom. You will be sent a link in your confirmation and reminder emails. 

Feeling nervous before your appointment is perfectly normal and it's ok for you to feel this way. 

Part of my job is to help you relax and this will happen naturally as part of your session and then induction into the hypnotic trance. By the end of the session you'll wonder why you felt nervous.

Access to hypnotherapy through the NHS is very limited but you can discuss this with your healthcare provider. However it's not widely available, which means Neil and other hypnotists generally work privately. All good hypnotists will be happy to communicate with your healthcare provider if this is your wish.

That is hard to answer here as everyone is different. Some people only need one session, some people need several.

With my business model, number of sessions is something you won't need to worry about as I'll work with you until your issue is resolved.
