How do Sessions Work?
What can I expect?
If ever we say that therapy “didn’t work” for us, what we usually mean is that it didn’t make us feel better. The modalities I work with and my approach support my main goal which is to help clients feel better whether “better” means safer; lighter; at peace; less bothered; more confident; accepting of oneself; in more harmonious relationships, or anything else. Feeling better will look different for each of us and it’s your own goal that matters.
During our sessions we’ll focus on stressors which may include emotions; fears; intrusive thoughts; limiting beliefs; urges; physical sensations; or memories.
EFT ‘tapping’ is the main technique we’ll use although I also use other modalities such as Clinical Hypnotherapy depending on what would best serve clients and what resonates with them. For example, I often integrate somatic practices aimed at discharging stress, stored trauma, and suppressed emotions from the body.
Content-free therapy
If there are experiences which are too painful to talk about or you aren’t able to share the details for confidentiality reasons, don’t let this be an obstacle! The techniques that I deploy mean we can heal, process, or clear shame and trauma without clients having to disclose the details of their memories (unless they choose to). This is called content-free therapy.
How can I get the most from this Work?
Our stories are complex so it’s essential to pace ourselves which is why I encourage new clients to commit to at least three sessions to start.
Some issues such as phobias or cravings can be reduced in one or two sessions using either EFT or Clinical Hypnotherapy (or a combination of both), but this isn’t always the case (read my article on using EFT for phobias to learn more).
Please remember that while the techniques I deploy show results faster than traditional talk-therapies, it is still a process. Working safely means going on a journey together, which is why it’s important to book sessions regularly, either once a week or every other week. After we’ve worked together for a while, sessions can be booked ad hoc.

If you’re a new client we will need a no-commitment 20-minute Discovery Session during which we’ll talk about what you can expect in sessions and your goals. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have.
