Sessions And What To Expect
Calm, Supportive Online Sessions Designed To Help You Move Forward
Taking the first step towards support can feel daunting, especially if you’ve never experienced hypnotherapy before.
Many people arrive feeling nervous, sceptical, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of what to expect, and that’s completely normal.
My approach is calm, practical, and completely judgement-free. Sessions are carried out online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams, allowing you to access support from the comfort and familiarity of your own home.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, confidence, stress, rider nerves, fear after a fall, or simply feeling stuck in your own thoughts, sessions are designed to help you feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning.
Free Initial Phonecall
Sometimes the hardest part is simply reaching out. This free, no-pressure phone call of up to 30 minutes gives us chance to talk about what’s been going on, what you’d like help with, and whether hypnotherapy feels like the right fit for you. It’s a relaxed and supportive conversation where you can ask questions, understand how sessions work, and begin exploring a way forward, with absolutely no obligation to book anything further.
Your Initial Consultation
A relaxed online conversation with no pressure or obligation
The first step is an initial consultation via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or an alternative video calling system.
This gives us chance to:
- talk about what’s been going on
- discuss what you’d like help with
- explore how hypnotherapy works
- answer any questions you may have
- decide whether we feel like a good fit to work together
There’s absolutely no pressure to commit to anything.
For many people, simply having an open and supportive conversation about what’s been happening can already feel like a weight lifting.
Your First Full Session
Understanding the mind and beginning positive change
Your first online session is designed to help you better understand how the mind responds to stress, anxiety, pressure, and negative thought patterns.
We’ll explore:
- how stress affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviour
- why confidence can suddenly disappear
- how overthinking and anxiety develop
- practical ways to begin changing those patterns
You’ll also experience your first hypnotherapy session which is a deeply relaxing process designed to help calm the mind and support positive change.
Many clients are surprised by how effective and natural hypnotherapy feels online, often finding it easier to relax in their own familiar surroundings.
Many leave their first session feeling noticeably calmer, lighter, and more optimistic.
What Hypnotherapy Actually Feels Like
Relaxed, calm, and completely natural
One of the biggest misconceptions about hypnosis is the idea of losing control or becoming unaware of what’s happening.
In reality, hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed and focused state; similar to becoming absorbed in a book, film, or daydream.
You remain aware throughout and cannot be made to do anything against your will.
Most clients describe it as:
- calming
- peaceful
- grounding
- mentally quiet
- surprisingly natural
Some people feel deeply relaxed physically, while others simply notice their mind becoming calmer and less busy.
There’s no “right” way to experience it, and online sessions are just as effective as face-to-face work.
A Solution Focused Approach
Moving forward rather than staying stuck in the past
Sessions focus far more on where you want to get to than endlessly revisiting difficult experiences.
That doesn’t mean your experiences are ignored, it simply means we focus on helping your mind move towards healthier, calmer, more constructive patterns.
The aim is not perfection.
It’s helping you:
- feel calmer
- think more clearly
- rebuild confidence
- reduce emotional overwhelm
- regain enjoyment in life and riding
- feel more like yourself again
For Riders And Equestrians
Understanding the emotional side of riding
A large proportion of my clients are equestrians navigating:
- competition nerves
- confidence knocks
- fear after falls
- anxiety jumping
- pressure and perfectionism
- overthinking while riding
- loss of enjoyment or connection
Riding is deeply emotional, and when confidence suffers it can affect far more than just performance.
Online sessions provide a supportive and convenient space to work through the mental side of riding from wherever you feel most comfortable, whether that’s at home, in the horsebox, or with a cup of tea after a difficult day at the yard.
