The first stop is to arrange a one hour Initial Consultation (IC). For online Hypnotherapy, this is by pre-booking, using the facility on Alan's
Contact Page. although you should feel free to call for a chat first if you'd like.
Once booked, you will be sent a link by e mail, (and if you provide your mobile phone number, you will also be prompted by text), which you should use to come to the meeting at the appropriate time, and Alan will also send guidelines to help you get the most out of the experience..
At this consultation, you will have the opportunity to meet Alan, and decide if you would feel comfortable working with him. He will assess the nature of your situation, and explain how he would propose to help, which gives you the means to make an informed decision. There is no hypnosis used in the IC, and there is no pressure to proceed.
If you decide to go ahead, in most cases you can expect to see Alan weekly at the outset, for sessions that break down into approx. 30 mins 'waking', and a further 20/25 mins using hypnotic trance, much the same as face to face therapy.
This continues until you can both agree that there is clear improvement, at which point the session intervals quickly open out.
Most people are experiencing improvements between the 3rd and 5th session.
