YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT, BUT YOU’VE ALREADY TAKEN THE FIRST STEP...

It can be scary and confusing making the decision to contact a counsellor or therapist, but in my experience people will struggle on with a mental health issue, health and wellbeing issues, a personal crisis or problems with a relationship for much longer than is healthy.

Sometimes a friend has proved a source of comfort, but this help can only go so far. Realising that resolving a problem requires something more means that you have actually already taken the first step towards improving your life and becoming less anxious.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hypnosis (mental imagery) & what to expect:
  • The hypnosis (mental imagery) aspect of the session takes up around 20 minutes.
  • You will need an open mind and be open to change.
  • You will need to embrace your imagination and subconscious mind.
  • You will use your imagination to access the answers that are deep in your subconscious mind.
  • You will use your imagination to visualise how you want to look and feel in your future self.
  • You will overcome any weight loss blocks or barriers in your subconscious.
  • You will feel empowered, inspired and confident so that you can take control of your choices.
Will everything I say be kept confidential?
  • A confidentiality agreement is always necessary when working therapeutically.
  • The sessions are confidential - this is one of the main ways counselling and therapy differ from talking to a friend or relative (see ** below).
  • If you are participating in a group Masterclass a confidentiality agreement will be discussed and agreed within the group on the first session.
  • Once you are comfortable with the format of the Masterclass and the safe space it provides, you will find the freedom to speak openly, which can be very liberating and insightful.
  • Corporate clients: confidentiality is critical to facilitate change - I will therefore only give anonymous feedback to the management team after seeking agreement from participants.

**Note: there are some situations where you may be a risk to yourself or others, and the law requires that I notify an authority; in these cases I may not be able to keep total confidentiality. However, breaking confidentiality is quite rare and in most situations when something is disclosed the person usually wants some action to be taken.

How I work with teens/children
  • I will ensure the session content is relevant to the age group in which I am working.
  • For any therapy to have the best chance of being effective it is important that the child or young person is permitted to keep the content of their session private. I also understand you are trusting me to work with your child/teen, and are entitled to know what that involves, and to be updated on how the work is going. With this in mind, please note the following: 
  • Please allow your child/teen to decide whether and how much they wish to talk with you about their sessions.
  • If your child/teen discloses something I believe indicates risk of serious harm to themselves or others then I will be in touch with you.
  • I offer regular updates on how the sessions are going, I will always consult with your child/teen beforehand to ensure confidentiality and transparency. 
  • I will always regularly check in with your child/teen to see if they are finding the work we are doing together helpful. If they are not then we will bring our work to a close.
  • This masterclass includes psychological education and discussion. There will be the need to use other tools like a journal or other home tasks.

**Note: there are some situations where there is a risk to self or others, and the law requires that I notify an authority; in these cases I may not be able to keep total confidentiality. However, breaking confidentiality is quite rare and in most situations when something is disclosed the person usually wants some action to be taken.

How many and how long are the sessions?
  • Overcome Anxiety & Stress, 4 weekly sessions - lasting one hour.
  • Session times/dates will be negotiated at the time of consultation.
  • I recommend that you do not rush off after the session.
  • Previous clients have said they felt so relaxed that it was comforting to chill with their friends for a while after.
Corporate discounts...
  • I offer discounted rates for multiple bookings for any size business.
  • I will come to your workplace, as long as there is a safe, appropriate private environment.
  • We can discuss using another venue if you do not have an appropriate room.
  • Please contact me to ask for more information.
What if I live outside the Plymouth area?
  • We can negotiate a travel fee, at my hourly rate (£55), if you would prefer face to face sessions.
  • I also offer online (Zoom) Masterclasses to accommodate clients outside of the Plymouth area.
  • Please contact me to ask for more information.
Group Masterclass at your home - what do I need to provide?
  • A minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 attendees
  • BONUS - for groups of 6 the host is free
  • Comfortable chairs or yoga mats for all participants - necessary for hypnosis
  • Quiet undisturbed environment - switch off phones, speakers, doorbells
  • Someone to take the dog/children out for a walk/play
  • Confidentiality - no other person present other than participants
  • I would also encourage groups to support each other outside of sessions via a group chat
Can I attend 1:1 counselling after or alongside the Masterclass?

As participation within the group Masterclass does not offer enough time to include bespoke counselling, I offer discounted rates for those who book 1:1 counselling if they have attended a Masterclass.

What happens if I miss a week?
  • Depending on individual circumstances we can arrange a private session, for a small additional fee, or renegotiate a new time/date for the whole group.
  • Any changes will depend on my availability.
  • If you are attending a group Masterclass, the agreement of the rest of the group will be required once payment and dates are confirmed.
