Before we enter into individual hypnotherapy there is an initial assessment which is free of charge. You may bring a friend or partner with you if you wish.

The purpose of this assessment is two-fold. Firstly the assessment allows the potential client to ask all the questions that she/he needs answering in order to be able to make an informed judgement as to whether or not they wish to commence hypnotherapy.
Secondly the assessment allows me to assess whether I feel that the client is genuine in their desire for change so that they will commit themselves to doing those things that need to be done in order for change to be effected. Should either of us decide not to go ahead with hypnotherapy then there is, of course, nothing to pay. At this time you will be given relevant literature to read, as well as comments from those who have completed their course of hypnotherapy.

When you decide to go ahead, then I ask you to commit yourself to just two sessions. The number of sessions likely to be required is also assessed at this time. It is rare for therapy to require more than six sessions before the desired change is made. IBS may take six to eight sessions.
