Cost of Sessions
Our current fee for a session of Hypnotherapy is £50 and our current fee for smoking cessation is £120. (One session but if you require a follow up session, this one is included). We are able to offer concessionary prices to O.A.P.s, students and those on a low income, if necessary.

Appointments last around one hour (the first session may be slightly longer).
We have two very experienced therapists working at our base in Linlithgow. Appointments are available in the most beautiful and peaceful setting imaginable. You don't need to have a "classic" problem to enjoy the benefits. Many clients come simply for a confidence "tune up" or relaxation purposes. Our therapists are highly qualified individuals who are also qualified trainers and teach and supervise Hypnotherapy Trainees. We are also happy to teach self hypnosis, so you can also work on your own.

What to expect
Your first appointment is an in depth consultation and does not normally leave time for hypnotherapy, although sometimes therapy will be done depending on the circumstances. The exception to this are appointments for Smoking Cessation which last around two hours and includes Hypnosis.

Thereafter a normal session lasts between 50 to 60 minutes. Prices vary, so please ask when you call for an appointment.

What happens?
You will be treated with respect and not judged. For example: we believe that people are not their behavior and that all behavior makes sense at a deep level. We have rules about confidentiality and these will be explained to you. We will ensure that you feel safe and comfortable and will put your mind at ease if you are worried about hypnosis in any way.

Do I hand over control?
It is important to note that no one can be hypnotised against their will and no one can be forced to do things while under hypnosis that they do not want to do. Many people's perception of hypnosis comes from what they have seen on tv or in shows. Although Hypnotherapists use "Hypnotic" or "trance" phenomenon in therapy, it is used purely for the benefit of the client, not for the benefit of an audience. Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe. There are no harmful side-effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled Hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent. During hypnosis, you will be aware of what is happening: most people do not “feel hypnotised.” You are still in control.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Because everyone is different, it's not always possible to be precise about how many sessions you will need but your therapist may be able to give you some guidance on this. Please be aware that Hypnotherapy does not always achieve instant results and that sometimes several sessions are required before changes will happen.

Success Rates
In line with The National Council for Hypnotherapy's policy, we feel that any therapist who guarantees 100% success rates is being a tad unethical if not unrealistic. Further to this, any therapist who offers any success rate without having proper scientific evidence to back up their claims is also unethical. Every person responds differently to hypnosis and therefore it is impossible and unfair to make promises that any form of therapy will work. We don't believe in making rash claims or promises. We can promise however, to bring our joint experience and shared knowledge to give you the best and most recent ideas from the therapy world to aid your recovery and reach your goals. We will support you in every way possible to ensure you gain maximum benefit from your sessions. We also teach self hypnosis to all our clients and encourage you to use this in between sessions to help keep the number of sessions to the minimum required.
