Hypnotherapy FAQs

What happens in the free consultation?

Your free consultation is a relaxed, no-pressure Zoom chat, usually about 20 minutes. Together we’ll gently explore what’s been going on for you, what you’d love to change, and how online hypnotherapy can help you get there.

It’s your space to ask questions, tune into how it feels, and see if we’re the right fit to work together.

There’s no obligation and no awkward sales pitch. Just an honest, calming conversation about what’s possible. If it feels right to move forward, we’ll create a personalised approach that honours your goals, your mindset, and the inspired changes you’re ready to make.

Please note: this isn’t a taster session or a demo. Hypnotherapy isn’t something you “try.” It’s something you commit to when you’re ready for lasting transformation.

This is your first step toward clarity, confidence, and the thriving life you deserve.

Will I be asleep during Hypnotherapy?

Not at all. Hypnotherapy is a natural state of focused awareness, similar to being absorbed in a daydream or lost in a good book. Some people say it feels a bit like sleep, but you remain fully aware and in control the whole time.

You’ll feel deeply relaxed, yet calm and completely in control throughout. Most clients describe it as peaceful, calming, and surprisingly familiar.

You’re not “under," you’re tuning in to yourself, your inner wisdom, and the positive changes your mind is ready to create.

Will you make me do anything strange or uncomfortable?

Never. This is clinical, client-centred hypnotherapy, focused entirely on your well-being. The aim is always to help you feel safe, supported, and fully in control at every stage.

Nothing happens without your full awareness and consent. You decide what feels right, and we work together at a pace that honours you.

What if I don't go deep enough?

You don’t need to feel “deep” for hypnotherapy to work. Some people describe feeling light and floaty, others more alert, and both are perfectly valid.

Hypnotherapy is effective because of the changes we create in the subconscious, not the depth of relaxation in the moment. Your mind already knows what to do, it just needs the right conditions and the right guide to help it let go.

How many sessions will I need?

Some clients notice a real shift after just one session, but lasting change is rarely instant.

Hypnotherapy is powerful, but it is also a process. Sometimes what feels like a breakthrough is just the beginning of something deeper and more inspired.

That is why we take it step by step. First we meet and explore what is really going on beneath the surface. Then we build a plan that is tailored, realistic, and focused on helping you thrive, not just for now, but for the long term.

The best results come from consistent, supported hypnotherapy with the right person beside you.

Is online Hypnotherapy really effective?

Absolutely. Online hypnotherapy via Zoom is every bit as effective as working in-person, and for many people, it can feel even more powerful.

You are in your own familiar space, comfortable and safe, without the stress of travelling or rushing away afterwards. When the session ends, you have the time to reflect, reset, and let the changes settle deeply.

It is calm, private, and designed to help you thrive. Real transformation, delivered from my space to yours, with care and clarity.

What can Hypnotherapy help with?

Almost anything you are ready to release. From unwanted behaviours and emotional patterns, to anxiety, low confidence, stress, sleep struggles and self-sabotage, alongside many other patterns you may be ready to release.

Who can benefit? Anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to change unhelpful habits and beliefs. If you are open to change and willing to take the first step, hypnotherapy can help you thrive.

Hypnotherapy can support anyone who feels they are not performing at their best, anyone carrying a habit, fear, or block that is holding them back from living as their true self.

If there is something you have carried for too long, something that no longer feels aligned with who you want to be, this work can help you let it go.

This is about more than just coping. It is about creating space to grow, to feel lighter, and to thrive.

What if something emotional comes up?

That’s perfectly okay. It is often part of the healing process. Hypnotherapy creates a safe, grounded space to feel, release, and reset. Whatever arises, I will guide you through it with care, calm, and compassion.

Nothing is too much. You are not broken. You are simply ready for change.

I've tried other therapies before. How is this different?

Most therapies work with your conscious mind. The thing is, when you keep talking over and over about your problems, it can actually make the neural pathways stronger, reinforcing the very issue you want to release.

This is why some people spend months, even years, in counselling, only to find the problem feels just as strong, or sometimes even worse, than when they began.

Hypnotherapy works at a deeper level, with the subconscious patterns that drive your behaviours, beliefs, and emotional responses.

If you’ve tried everything and nothing has truly shifted, this could be what makes the difference.

This isn’t about more understanding. It’s about inspired change from the inside out.

Will I lose control during a session?

Not at all. Hypnotherapy isn’t about losing control, it’s about gaining it back.

You’ll always be aware, present, and able to speak or move whenever you like. Nothing happens without your awareness or consent. Hypnotherapy is not mind control, you remain in charge at every stage.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, which means the power is already within you. I simply help you access it.

Is Hypnotherapy safe if I've experienced trauma?

Yes. When delivered gently and professionally, hypnotherapy can be a powerful way to release emotional weight without reliving the pain.

I always work in a trauma-informed way, at your pace, with your comfort at the centre of everything. You will never be asked to revisit anything you are not ready for, and your emotional safety is always my top priority.

Why choose Inspirational-Minds?

At Inspirational-Minds, it is never just about sessions, it's about people. I know what it feels like to be stuck, to try different things, and still carry the weight. That is why the way I work is compassionate, supportive, and always shaped around you, with sessions created uniquely to your needs and supported by personalised hypnosis MP3s or audio tracks when helpful.

Clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and safe here. Every hypnotherapy session is built around your goals, your pace, and the changes you are ready to welcome.

Alongside our sessions, you may also receive supportive resources such as guided audios, meditations, and tools to help the shift continue between sessions. This way, the change is not just something you feel during our work together, but something you carry into your everyday life.

Online hypnotherapy via Zoom, with me, is not about a quick fix. It’s about creating real, lasting change, step by step.

Together we’ll release what no longer serves you and reconnect you with your clarity, confidence, and true self.

Testimonials

My hypnotherapy sessions with Dan Bennett at Inspirational Minds have been so transformative. Dan is so knowledgeable of how the subconscious mind works & spends the time going through everything before and after the session. Before my sessions with Dan, I was dealing with anxiety, grief, stress and recurring IBS. This has now completely gone, I feel calm & strong. It's nothing short of a miracle, like a switch has been turned back on after stumbling around in the dark for so long. Highly highly recommend.
