No. You don’t need to arrive with a neat explanation of what is wrong. Bring the situation, feeling, reaction or decision that keeps taking up space in your mind. We’ll use the consultation to decide where the session needs to begin.

It may be, but it isn’t automatically used in every Gateway session. I’ll choose the approach that best fits what you bring. If we use hypnotherapy, you remain aware and in control throughout. You can speak, move, pause or stop at any point.

One session cannot unravel your entire internal world, and I won’t pretend it can. What it can do is take one thing that keeps hurting, uncover what is really sitting beneath it and begin working with it while we are together. You’ll leave with a different relationship to what brought you in and a clear way to continue.

Yes. What you share is treated confidentially. The only exceptions are situations where I have a legal or ethical responsibility to act because there is a serious risk of harm. The full boundaries of confidentiality are explained in your client agreement before the session.

What happens after the Gateway?You’ll receive a written summary of what came through, guidance on continuing the work and seven days of WhatsApp support.If you decide you want to take the work further, you’ll also have the option to move into the 8-Week Anchored Hypnotherapy Programme, where we can work with what surfaced and begin integrating it more deeply over time. I’ll explain what I recommend and why, but there is no obligation to continue.
