Payment

Please contact me for an assessment of the cost, as this varies according to the client and problem.

To some, the cost of hypnotherapy may seem like a lot, however a course of treatment will probably cost a lot less than the cost of, say, replacing the clutch in your car. It depends on the importance you attach to your happiness and well-being. Smokers can make up this money in only a few weeks, leaving aside the fact that it may save their lives!

Occasionally, someone who really needs help genuinely cannot afford this fee. In such cases, I may be able to sort something out.

I believe that it is unethical to ask for block payments covering multiple sessions, (how can I know in advance how many sessions will be required?), so you only pay for each session after you have it, (except for 'smoking therapy' -see below.) 

Note also that my sessions last up to around two hours as this is much cheaper for the client. It takes a finite time to induce a suitable level of hypnosis, leaving the remaining time to do actual work. Where a session is only one hour long this means that a significant proportion of time is lost. Having two-hour sessions means that a course of treatment takes about five sessions, whereas a client may need twelve to fifteen one-hour sessions.

You must provide three full working days warning of a cancellation, or forfeit this. If you postpone a session without allowing 3 full working days, you will be charged half the full rate for the missed session.

Stop Smoking Therapy: Unfortunately, my experience is that too many people make appointments to stop smoking, and then cancel later, or worse, simply don't show up for their appointment. Unless you are prepared to commit to giving up, it won't work. It's also unfair to make appointments and then not keep them. I now ask for payment in advance for each smoking cessation session. Unless you are prepared to make this committment, you are wasting your own time and energy also. I can take credit card bookings over the phone. I will ask for payment each time you book a session.
