Costs of Treatment:
All individual sessions are priced at £60 and typically take between 60 and 90 minutes. Generally speaking the first session is likely to take the full 90 minutes. Occasionally, at no extra cost, sessions may last a little longer - this will be discussed with you in advance.
The initial consultation involves taking a detailed history regarding your presenting issue and a discussion on your expectations for the therapy. There is also a discussion about hypnosis when you will be able to have all of your questions about hypnosis answered. The Hypnotherapy will only start when we are both happy that we can work effectively together towards resolving your issue. You remain in control of your therapy programme at all times.
The number of sessions required to deal with your presenting issue will vary according your individual circumstances and needs. This can be assessed and discussed during the initial consultation. The format and length of your individual programme will be discussed and agreed with you before therapy takes place and can be reviewed at any point. Remember, you are in complete control of your therapy programme at all times.
If you have a health-care cash plan with Medicash or Paycare you can claim back a proportion of the the cost of the therapy (up to 100%). If you are with another health-care cash plan provider check with that provider for their policy regarding Alternative and Complementary Therapies.
NHS Funding
If you live in England you may be aware of the Personal Health Budgets pilots across 60 Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in England. This pilot involves individual patients being made aware of how much they have available to spend on their care so they can opt to select services more directly. Under the pilot, patients are able to select complementary therapies where it is considered this will meet their health needs. The pilot will be running until 2012 and creates an opportunity for patients to consult with CNHC registered practitioners where their local PCT is involved. Your GP is able to provide further information.
Some frequently asked questions:
1. What is Hypnotherapy?
It is a way of helping people to feel very relaxed and to respond to suggestions and ideas that are going to help them. However, it is not the same as being asleep. When you are asleep, you are not aware of of what is going on around you. During hypnosis, people usually say that they are still aware of what is going on around them but that it does not seem to matter; it goes into the background. In fact, it is rather like when you are absorbed in a good book or daydreaming; you know that things are going on around you but you don’t feel the need to take any notice.
2. Will I be able to move?
Yes. It is important that at any time during hypnosis that you may do anything that will help you to feel more comfortable - for instance you may need to move position or cough, that is perfectly OK, just go ahead.
3. Will I lose control?
No. You are always in control. There are three criteria that must be in place for the client to be guided into the hypnotic state. The client must; want it to happen, expect it to happen and allow it to happen. In fact many theorists believe that all hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis and that the therapist is merely your experienced guide in this process. The idea is for you to follow the suggestions of the therapist when you are in the relaxed state of hypnosis as this will be the basis of the agreed programme of therapy. However, if there is anything that you do not want to think about, imagine, do or disclose you will retain the ability to choose not to do so. People usually remember most, if not all, of what they experience during hypnosis.
4. Will I get ‘stuck’ in the hypnotic state?
No. At the end of the session the therapist will ask you to open your eyes and be fully alert again. This is something you actually do for yourself so really, at any time, you will be able to open your eyes and end the hypnosis session if you choose to do so.
5. Is it confidential?
The information disclosed to the therapist within the sessions is confidential. Information will usually only be passed to a third party if it is part of an agreed referral to other health professionals that will help the client. However, there may be a legal obligation on the part of the therapist to pass information to the relevant authorities concerning criminal activities or if there is a concern about potential harm to others. It should be borne in mind that therapists have a responsibility to the community at large, as well as to individual clients. Call me if you would like to discuss any of these points.
