Q1: Is hypnotherapy safe?
 

A: Yes. When guided by a qualified practitioner, hypnotherapy is completely safe and natural.
You remain aware and in control the entire time,  you can speak, move, or stop the process whenever you wish.
It’s not stage hypnosis; it’s a therapeutic conversation that gently quiets the analytical mind so inner change can occur.

Q2: What issues can hypnotherapy help with?
 

A: Hypnotherapy can support:

• Anxiety and stress management

• Sleep improvement

• Phobias and fears

• Confidence and performance

• Breaking habits (e.g., smoking or nail-biting)

• Emotional balance and self-worth
  Each session is tailored to your goals and personal pace.

Q3: How many hypnotherapy sessions do I need?
 

A: Some clients notice change after just one session,  especially for targeted goals. 
For deeper emotional or behavioural work 3–6 sessions are often recommended to create lasting results.

Q4: Can I lose control under hypnosis?
 

A: No. You always stay in control and aware of what’s happening.
Hypnosis is a collaborative process, you cannot be made to say or do anything against your will. Most people experience it as a deeply calm and focused state of awareness.

Q5: What is the science behind hypnotherapy?
 

A: Research shows that hypnotherapy can positively affect pain perception, anxiety, and certain habits.
Brain imaging studies demonstrate that hypnosis activates areas linked to focus and self-regulation.

A: Yes. You can book sessions in-person in Zürich or online from anywhere.
Online hypnotherapy is equally effective, you just need a quiet space and headphones.
