Can I claim Hypnotherapy on my private health insurance?
Depending on your private insurer you may be able to claim Hypnotherapy against your insurance. You will need to contact them to make sure you are covered prior to booking with Lifestyle Hypnosis. We will give you the receipt to take back to your insurer and you will need to pay in full on the day. NLP Only and Just For Fun sessions may not be claimable.

Whilst I'm Hypnotised, will I lose control of what I say or do?
No, you are always in control of the session. You can choose to open your eyes and return to full alertness at any time without prompting. It is a common fear and misconception about trance work that you are "put under the therapist's spell", but let me assure you, the only person who can control what you say or do is YOU!

Does it work?
Hypnosis, NLP and Trance work are very effective and powerful tools in the change process if you are willing to use them. Being open to new ideas and a new experience will boost your success. Using these techniques, you will see change as early as your first session and continue to see dramatic changes as your therapy continues however these are not a magic pills which gives you what you want with no effort. Your own motivation, will power and drive are crucial to the change process. No one can make the change for you, but we can certainly give you the tools you need to help you along the way!

I can't be Hypnosited, the last time I tried I didn't go under.
You may not feel that you will be able to be hypnotised or placed into a deep trance state but the reality is there are only certain groups of people who cannot be. These people are small children, intelectually disabled people, people under the influence of alcohol or drugs and people who passionately do not want to be hypnotised. As long as you don't fit into one of these groups, you can be and will be entranced in your first appointment, even if you've seen other practitioners who have "failed". Ben uses the most up to date techniques, has the benefits of modern training and a fantastic approach to Hypnosis.
