Why
Try Hypnotherapy?
-
Hypnotherapy
has no side effects and is very safe when
carried out by a qualified practioner.

has many benefits and puts you back in control of
your life.
- It
gives you long term change and teaches you how to
improve your quality of life.
At
our base in Linlithgow, we have two therapists: John
D Lawrence and Rae Jenson. Both work with a variety
of issues and have specialisist knowledge in some areas
e.g. weight management and pain management. In the North
of Scotland our trusted colleague Jo Goss is available
for both Training and Therapy. You can find out more
about Jo from her website www.HypnotherapyScotland.co.uk.
What
to expect
Your
first appointment is likely to last around an hour and
a half. Please note that this is an in depth consultation
and does not normally leave time for hypnotherapy, although
sometimes therapy will be done depending on the circumstances.
The exception to this are appointments for Smoking Cessation
which last around two hours and includes Hypnosis.
Thereafter
a normal session lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. Prices
vary, so please ask when you call for an appointment.
What
happens?
You
will be treated with respect and not judged. For example:
we believe that people are not their behavior and that
all behavior makes sense at a deep level. We have rules
about confidentiality and these will be explained to
you. Any fears you may have about hypnosis will be allayed
before any treatment is carried out.

Do
I hand over control?
It
is important to note that no one can be hypnotised against
their will and no one can be forced to do things while
under hypnosis that they do not want to do. Many people's
perception of hypnosis comes from what they have seen
on tv or in shows. Although Hypnotherapists use "Hypnotic"
or "trance" phenomenon in therapy, it is used purely for
the benefit of the client, not for the benefit of an audience.
Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe. There are
no harmful side-effects. When administered by a professionally
trained and skilled Hypnotherapist the benefits are long
lasting and often permanent. During hypnosis, you will
be aware of what is happening: most people do not “feel
hypnotised.” You are still in control.
How
Many Sessions Will I Need?
Because everyone is different, it's not possible
to be precise about how many sessions you will need but
your therapist may be able to give you some guidance in
this. Please be aware that Hypnotherapy does not always
achieve instant results and that sometimes several sessions
are required before changes will happen.
Appointments
last around 90 minutes for the first consultation session
and around an hour for each session thereafter.
We
have two very experienced therapists working at our base
in Linlithgow. Appointments are available in the most
beautiful and peaceful setting imaginable. You don't need
to have a problem to enjoy the benefits. Many clients
come to help boost their confidence and for relaxation
purposes. Our therapists are highly qualified individuals
who are also qualified trainers and teach and supervise
Hypnotherapy Trainees. We are also happy to teach self
hypnosis, so you can also work on your own.
Cost
of Sessions
Our
current fee for a session of Hypnotherapy is £50
and our current fee for smoking cessation is £120.
(One session but if you require a follow up session, this
one is included). We are able to offer concessionary prices
to O.A.P.s, students and those on a low income, if necessary.
Success
Rates
In
line with The National Council for Hypnotherapy's policy,
we feel that any therapist who guarantees 100% success
rates is being unethical. Further to this, any therapist
who offers any success rate without having proper scientific
evidence to back up their claims is also unethical. Every
person responds differently to hypnosis and therefore
it is impossible and unfair to make promises that any
form of therapy will work. We don't believe in making
rash claims or promises. We can promise however, to bring
our joint experience and shared knowledge to give you
the best and most recent ideas from the therapy world
to aid your recovery and reach your goals. We will support
you in every way possible to ensure you gain maximum benefit
from your sessions. We also teach self hypnosis to all
our clients and encourage you to use this in between sessions
to help keep the number of sessions to the minimum required.
