FAQs
Why Nafas?
Nafas means “breath”, a reminder that transformation doesn’t have to be dramatic.
Sometimes, it starts quietly: with one breath, one shift, one small decision that changes the course of everything that follows.
This practice is built around that philosophy. Change doesn’t require force or perfection. It starts with creating space - for renewal, for healing, for possibility.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No, never. You’re always in charge of what happens during a session.
You can talk, move, or even choose to stop the session at any time. Most people describe the experience as deeply relaxing but also surprisingly normal. You’re conscious of everything that’s happening.
Hypnotherapy isn’t about someone “doing” something to you. It’s about guiding your mind into a state where change becomes easier and more natural.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals and how deeply the pattern is rooted.
Some clients notice meaningful shifts after just one or two sessions, while others choose to work together over several weeks or months to support deeper or more complex change.
Are online sessions as effective as in-person ones?
Yes. Many clients find online sessions just as effective, and often more convenient, than in-person appointments.
All you need is a quiet, comfortable space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone. The structure, techniques, and outcomes are the same in both formats.
What if I can’t be hypnotised?
Most people can, because hypnosis isn’t a special skill, it’s a natural state your mind already enters many times a day (for example, when you’re absorbed in a book or lost in thought while driving).
If you’re willing to engage with the process and follow simple suggestions, hypnotherapy is very likely to work for you. My role is to guide you into that state gently and safely. And you’re always in control of how far we go.
Is hypnotherapy suitable if I’m already seeing a therapist or taking medication?
In most cases, yes. Hypnotherapy can work well alongside other forms of support. If you’re currently under the care of a doctor, psychologist, or psychiatrist, it’s helpful to let them know you’re considering hypnotherapy.
I’m happy to collaborate with other professionals as part of a broader care plan, and we can discuss any precautions during your initial consultation.
I’m nervous about starting. What if I’m not ready?
That’s completely okay. Many people feel unsure before their first session, especially if they’ve been stuck for a long time.
The free discovery call is a gentle way to explore whether this feels like the right path for you. There’s no obligation, no pressure, and no expectation to commit. Sometimes that first conversation is the beginning of meaningful change all by itself.
I also have regular group sessions for general hypno-relaxation. That’s a great way to dip your toe in the waters and see if you’re ready (or interested) to take the plunge.
