FAQs

Below are some common questions about Hypnotherapy, 9D Breathwork, and EMDR. If you’re unsure what’s right for you, you’re always welcome to reach out before booking.

Hypnotherapy

  • Hypnotherapy uses focused attention and guided techniques to help shift patterns in thinking, behaviour, and emotional responses. It works by accessing a more receptive state, allowing change to happen more naturally.

  • No. You remain aware and in control the entire time. You cannot be made to do anything against your will, and you can come out of the state at any time.

  • Most people describe it as deeply relaxed, similar to being absorbed in a book or daydream. You may feel calm, focused, or slightly detached, but still aware.

  • This depends on what you’re working on. Some people notice changes quickly, while others benefit from a structured program over several sessions.

9D Breathwork

  • 9D Breathwork is a guided breathwork experience delivered through headphones, combining specific breathing patterns with sound, voice, and music to create an immersive session.

  • You will be guided through different breathing rhythms while lying down. The experience may include moments of intensity, release, and stillness, depending on the journey.

  • 9D Breathwork is generally safe for most people, however there are some contraindications. You will be asked to complete a short screening form before participating to ensure it is suitable for you.

  • Experiences vary. Some people feel calm and grounded, others feel energised or emotionally lighter. It is common to notice shifts in how you feel both during and after the session.

  • No experience is needed. You will be guided the entire way through.

EMDR

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain process past experiences so they no longer have the same impact in the present.

  • No. EMDR does not require you to go into full detail about your experiences in the way traditional talk therapy often does. However, you will still connect with aspects of the memory, including thoughts, feelings, or sensations, as part of the process. The focus is on how the experience is stored and how your system responds, allowing it to shift without needing to explain everything verbally.

  • Sessions involve guided focus and bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements. You may notice thoughts, memories, or sensations shift during the process.

  • This varies depending on your goals and history. Some experiences can be processed in a few sessions, while others may take longer.

  • EMDR is commonly used for trauma, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as well as anxiety, distressing memories, and situations where you feel stuck in repeating emotional or behavioural responses. It can help reduce the intensity of these experiences and support more adaptive responses.
