Common questions
Got questions? Here are the ones I hear the most.
Hypnotherapy is a focused, natural state where you remain aware and in control. Below are quick answers to the questions clients ask before they begin.
Is hypnotherapy safe? Will I lose control?
Hypnotherapy is a focused, relaxed state. You stay aware and in control throughout, and you can stop the process at any point.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Most people work with me for six or seven sessions on average. We plan based on your goals and review as we go.
Can hypnotherapy help with chronic pain?
Yes. Combined with Strategic Psychotherapy and practical self-regulation work, hypnotherapy can reduce pain intensity and improve function by changing how the brain and body respond to pain signals.
Are online sessions effective?
Yes. Many clients see strong results online. A stable connection and a quiet, private space help the work.
Can hypnotherapy help me quit smoking?
Helping people stop smoking is one of the most established uses of clinical hypnotherapy. We work on the automatic patterns and triggers that keep smoking in place, not just the conscious decision to stop, and build a personalised plan for the moments that usually catch you out. Like all therapy, results vary from person to person, and it starts with a free discovery call to see if the approach fits you.
What if I've tried other therapies before?
That's common. Strategic Psychotherapy focuses on what keeps a problem repeating in the present, which often complements or succeeds where earlier approaches didn't fully shift the underlying patterns.
Can I claim on my private health fund?
Jennifer is a registered provider with CBHS. If you're a CBHS member, you may be able to claim a rebate depending on your level of extras cover, check with the fund before your first session. For other funds, rebates for hypnotherapy vary between insurers and policies, so it's always worth asking yours.
