What does the first session involve?
The first sessions will involve an introduction; questions and answers;
taking a case history of the presenting problem and possibly some initial hypnosis work.
Generally it is to assess the suitability of hypnotherapy or cbt/rebt for your situation.
Any subsequent sessions will involve working on the specific problem and/or trance work,
as well as feedback from yourself.
How many sessions will it take?
This will depend on each individual's specific case and problem.
An improvement may be seen after 2-3 sessions.

local GP wishes to refer you on, the NHS Service Provider Code can be used
for administrative purposes. The code is NOT an endorsement by the NHS.
