O.K. I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek. But during this first session:
>>you will experience an insight, some relief, perhaps even a significant change.
>>you will be able to decide if you want to continue to work with me.
>>And I'll decide if I’m the right therapist for you...
>>If we both agree to continue then you you can look forward to a resolution of your problem(s)
Sometimes (admittedly it's rare) just the first session is enough to resolve whatever's troubling you.
More likely the first session will give you the confidence that not only do you know what's wrong, but that I know how to help you make it right.
And that will require only a few appointments -- (quite likely just two or three sessions).
After your first (90 minute) session all others will normally last for one hour.
Sometimes up to 6 or 7 sessions are necessary. You'll only book these if they are really necessary.
Sessions are usually once a week but can be held every second week or a mix of both.
***Also offered and often all that is needed for some people is a 'one-off' 90 minute deep relax and de-stress session at a greatly reduced fee. I offer this as I meet a lot of people who really just need to relax and learn to de-stress themselves. Often people find the cause of their worries and stress and are able to deal with it themselves with the help of an audio CD I provide (included in the session fee). Please email or call today for an informal chat about this option if it interests you.

A live therapy session is always recommended as it will be unique for you and suited as specifically as possible to your needs. However if you live too far away to be able to visit Alan at his consulting rooms you might like to order an audio CD that has been created as an introduction to hypnotherapy and is a one-hit session for relieving stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and confidence, feelings of negativity and depression and social phobia (shyness). Go here for more information and to order.
