Clinical Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis, a relaxed state of focus that allows your subconscious mind to respond to language and ideas in new ways, which your conscious mind often finds difficult to understand at first. This state called trance, due to its relaxing nature, also helps to regulate the nervous system, similar to how dreaming in sleep works, releasing mental tension through metaphor and symbology. 

 

If you’ve tried other approaches and learned a lot about what your issue is, but the problem hasn’t shifted, there’s a good chance that there are underlying unconscious patterns that are causing your problem.

Hypnotherapy becomes the bridge between what you know, and what you experience.​​

Session Structure and Investment

Hypnotherapy is offered in a two session package for first clients and it is a NZ$350 investment.

  • The 1st session is focused on nervous system regulation and understanding the patterns of your problem - 90 minutes. 

  • The 2nd session is a more traditional hypnotherapy session where deeper work is done - 60-90 minutes.

It is recommended that most problems have 2 sessions to support lasting change.

Single sessions are available. Book a discovery call to learn more.

Follow Up Sessions

Follow up sessions are between 60 - 90 minutes long and are NZ$150 each.

 

The first session price is $220, which is why the two session package is $350 and not $300. In the initial session, there is a lot of setup compared to follow-up session.
 

Most client problems only need 2 sessions but some benefit from ongoing support. 

Think of these as continuing to build on the first sessions, getting a clearer picture of where you want to be, further subconscious work, and going deeper with hypnosis to help you be the best version of yourself. 

If it involves the mind, hypnotherapy can support you in making positive changes.

If a problem started in the mind, then it can be changed with the mind

You see a lot of services and descriptions for hypnotherapy online.

Hypnotherapy to stop smoking, hypnotherapy for weight loss, hypnotherapy for anxiety, and hypnotherapy for stress/burnout are just some of them.

 

There are many names for the practice, and while the techniques may differ, the approach is consistent across all of them.

Regulate the nervous system first, and then focus on how you want to respond instead.

Hypnosis works with the subconscious mind

This is the place where beliefs, emotions and thoughts spend most of their time and have the most impact on our day-to-day functioning.

The process of hypnotherapy

1 / Nervous System Regulation

First we talk about past experiences and when the problem came to your attention. As the thoughts, emotions and beliefs surface, we use this opportunity to clear them using trauma-informed techniques that bring the nervous system into a state of regulation. Most people report experiencing relief from stress and anxiety at this stage already.

2 / Problem - Process - Goal

Once the nervous system has established its new baseline, we then direct our attention towards how your nervous system and subconscious will respond differently. Traditional hypnotherapy is used here to set the patterns and thoughts into the subconscious mind where they become lasting behaviours that continue to regulate and direct the nervous system towards health.

3 / Further Hypnosis and Subconscious Programming

To make the changes even more complete, hypnosis is again used to program into the unconscious mind how the nervous system responds differently in the environment that the problem was occurring. We are giving the mind an opportunity to develop new beliefs and thoughts that drive the behaviours we want to be doing. This step is crucial to connect the work done in the therapy room, to were want to be responding differently.

What to expect after a session

People leave feeling calm, grounded, and clear-headed. 

Change occurs at different rates for everyone, some individuals experience shifts after the first session, others require deeper work for lasting change to take shape.

Book in for a free discovery call and find out how hypnotherapy can support you to make the shifts to where you want to be.

Why is hypnotherapy better offered with 2 sessions?

Two sessions allow for a more comprehensive intake period for regulating the nervous system. Lasting change-work can then be implemented using hypnosis at a deeper level.

Some problems are not always straight forward and require follow up sessions to achieve satisfying results 

Maximillian is realistic and honest about how many sessions some problems can take to work through depending on their nature.

Single sessions are available, book a discovery call if you would like to learn more.
