We practice solution-focused hypnotherapy which means that we establish your goals from the start and work towards resolving situations as quickly as possible – sometimes in a single session. On average though, most situations need around 3-6 sessions to find resolution; for smokers it’s generally 1 specialized 2-hour session with the possibility of a booster. Above all, our emphasis is on creating beneficial change rather than endlessly discussing old habits or past mistakes. You can learn more about our rates here.
How long does it take to work on an issue using hypnotherapy?
