What’s so great about the Control System?

When we’re feeling ill, we may take a pill or other medication to help us get better. But if we’re feeling stressed, experiencing Imposter Syndrome or not even sure what we want, things aren’t so straightforward. This is where the Control System can help – changing those areas of your life that aren’t going as well as you would like by engaging your most powerful ally: your mind. And it’s much more pleasant than taking tablets! It works on the basis that we already have the resources to change – we simply need to get our mind on board with what we want now.

what if i don’t respond?

The Control System offers a different type of hypnosis which doesn’t involve trance. Although most people are able to work well with this system, occasionally someone will not respond. In these cases, I offer regular “eyes-closed” hypnotherapy, taking you into a relaxed state where you are receptive to positive suggestions and shifts. There is no “one size fits all” approach in changework, so we will work together using the method best suited to you.

How many sessions are needed?

The Control System is a 3-session program. For the vast majority of people, this is all that is needed to get the result you want. We may occasionally agree to have a 4th or 5th session if you’re seeing changes but not quite 100% there yet.

Does this work online?

Traditionally, most types of therapy sessions took place in the practitioner’s office on a (usually) comfy chair or couch. Ever since the global pandemic, more and more sessions have been given online, as both clients and practitioners have seen the benefits of this way of working. Apart from the convenience of not having to factor in journey times, traffic or parking, there is growing evidence that online sessions are just as effective as in-person ones. A key factor to bear in mind is that changes take place within the person rather than in an office.

Is the Control System accredited?

Yes – it has been recognised as a Centre of Excellence by The Complementary Medical Association (CMA). As an Accredited Control Practitioner, I adhere to the Code of Conduct of the Control Academy.

What are the fees for the 3-session program?

In the Exploratory Session I go through what you would like to change, introduce you to hypnosis and check that we can work together – this is completely free. You may find that you take away lots of ideas from this session alone. If you choose to go ahead with treatment, the 3-session program is charged at £295 (€295).
