Frequently Asked Questions
Is this like the hypnosis I've seen on stage or TV?
No. This is a focused, relaxed state of attention. You're never unconscious, you don't lose control, and you remember the session. Closer to deep, guided focus than anything you've seen on a stage.
Will I lose control or say something I don't want to?
No. You're aware and in control the whole time. This works with your consent, never around it.
I've already tried therapy and it didn't fully work. Why would this be different?
A lot of clients come to me after talk therapy helped them understand their pattern but didn't actually shift it. This works at a different level — often the missing piece, not a replacement for what you already did.
Talk therapies often involve retelling and analyzing past stories to gain insight, process emotions, and reframe experiences. This can be really great, but there is the risk that the client become “stuck” in their story as they replaying it over and over.
The brain learns through repetition, so each time a painful story is retold, the neural pathways associated with that story are reinforced, keeping the old patterns alive and well.
Our goal is not to relive the past, but to release its grip on us.
Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind, bypassing the critical conscious mind to creating new pathways aligned with how you want to feeling and respond.
How many sessions will I actually need?
Depends on the person and the goal, but most people notice real shifts within a handful of sessions. We'll talk through a realistic plan in your free consultation, but generally, most issues can be resolved within six or seven sessions.
Okay, but will this actually work on me?
Fair question, and probably the real one underneath a lot of the others. Nobody can promise a specific result before meeting you, but here's what I can tell you: this isn't about how "hypnotizable" you are, and it's not about faith or belief.
It works with how your brain already forms and holds patterns, which is true for everyone. The free consultation exists partly to answer this for you directly - you'll get a sense pretty quickly whether this feels right, before you've spent anything.
Do I have to come in person?
No. I see clients in person in Brussels, and online everywhere else — so where you live isn't a barrier either way. If you're local and want to meet in person, that's available too.
What actually happens in the free consultation?
A short, no-pressure conversation about what's going on for you and whether we're a fit. That's it.
What actually happens in the free consultation?
Yes. Most of my clients aren't in crisis — they're at a crossroads. You don't need to hit rock bottom to deserve this.
