FAQ’S

There are variables which limit a minor group of patients, such as; very young children, and people with extensive brain damage; they simply don’t have the focus. If someone does not want to be hypnotised then they wont be- they will block it. Shire Hypnotherapy Clinic will apply the right technique for your character, in your language and at your pace. Our unique approach has proven to be very successful.

Did you want to be hypnotised at that time? Were you ready for change? Or did the person you see, not apply the right technique for you, or give enough attention to the induction? Hypnotherapy has a few fundamental elements, and when combined correctly, creates a successful session. Ongoing maintenance throughout the session is necessary to provide the optimum outcome. Shire Hypnotherapy will show you it is possible to be hypnotised,,,,,,,providing that you wish to be.

The ability to imagine is unrelated to the ability to experience hypnosis.

Do you want to change? Really want to change?

If you do, your imagination has nothing to do with your success. The key ingredient you need to have with you when you arrive at Shire Hypnotherapy Clinic is the willingness and intent to reach your goal and positively change.

If you want to be hypnotised, you will be. Actually, people with strong minds are easier to be hypnotised because they tend to focus so well. We know you want to change; it is evident in your motivation to make the appointment. However in the rare instance we don’t think you are ready for change quite yet, we will let you know to save you dissapointment and money. Your success is our success.

Hypnosis transcends our level of willpower. For success in your Hypnotherapy experience, your willingness must align with your intent. Hypnotherapy will guide you along the right path directly with your subconscious mind to promote change. You don’t consciously need to understand the process to achieve your goal.

Your morals, beliefs and mind are all in your control if you are hypnotised or not. You will not allow anything to happen to you that you wouldn’t agree to consciously. Shire Hypnotherapy will make you feel comfortable and safe, and explain to you in layman terms what Hypnotherapy is prior to your initial session taking place. You will only do silly things if you want to do silly things!

Time escapes most patients when they are hypnotised. It is very uncommon for spontaneous hypnotic amnesia to occur. Most people remember fragments of their session which is completely normal.

We don’t have a magic wand. You have full control of your mind and your privacy remains intact for the duration of your session.You only say and do, what you want to say and do- we do not control you or coerce secrets from you! Everything is in the private surrounds of our clinic. What is said in the room, stays in the room.

Shire Hypnotherapy specialises in children, and more often than not, they are NOT relaxed, yet we are very successful at using specific skills which are not induced by relaxation techniques. Hypnosis is achieved through focus, not relaxation, though it is more pleasant if you are relaxed.

They are one and the same modality. Though Hypnotherapy has the sole purpose of helping people to achieve positive personal change. All hypnotherapists are hypnotists, but not all hypnotists have the same desire to help the subject to better themselves, some hypnotists use the modality to amuse and entertain an audience. Shire Hypnotherapy is built on care, skill and success by rapport and growing with our patients.

Naturally, we are all different. Clinical Hypnotherapists are of the highest regard and ranking within Australia. Beware of Hobbyists. We may work from a slightly different philosophy, but we all should have your goal as our fundamental goal whilst we are with you. Shire Hypnotherapy Clinic will learn your language, and the suggestions we give are easy for you to relate to because it’s in your innate style of communication. We are highly skilled in this area and truly enjoy seeing our efforts positively change our patients lives. You are likely to enjoy your experience with us, and there will most likely be similarities to other prior Hypnosis sessions you have experienced.

You will know you have found the right therapist for you when you feel comfortable, and they are able to openly answer all of your questions. Award-Winning Shire Hypnotherapy Clinic encourages our patients to be educated about the modality and what to expect. By being educated about the upcoming session it will instil faith and understanding, therefore, be most effective.

Nowadays, Hypnotherapy is a commonly used therapy for children and adults alike. A referral is the best way to find a therapist by knowing they are reputable and effective in their profession. Ensure the therapist is a member of the Hypnotherapy Council of Australia and Australian Hypnotherapists Association and enquire how long they have been practising. Being a member of the HCA shows they are of the highest ranking Clinical Hypnotherapist in Australia. AHA verifies their Code of Conduct and enforces that the highest standard is adhered to.

Shire Hypnotherapy Clinic is mostly built on referrals, and is one of the only Clinic’s specialising in Children within Australia.

You can expect at an initial consult at Shire Hypnotherapy Clinic, that we will discuss your goals, how you are living now compared to where you wish to be, and discuss all other relevant history. We will answer all of your questions informing you all about Hypnotherapy, and we strive to make you feel safe, in control, and comfortable. We will do some practical hypnotherapy work with you during the first visit.

Each person is different and a different approach is applied accordingly. Individuals are just that; an individual. We will give you an estimated forecast of sessions needed at the end of the second consult. We do not make you prescribe to an upfront number of sessions because everyone works at a different pace, and we find it an unethical practice to string out the therapy. You will organically know when your last session is. You pay as you go with us.
