Why Clinical Hypnotherapy?

Can Hypnotherapy help me to live fully; to live beyond limits?

To help you better understand the process (and demystify the myths), we’ve answered the questions most frequently asked.

You are not under anyone's power!

The Process Room employs the most current hypnotherapy and strategic psychotherapy methods available in the world. They're safe and unobtrusive and, as a result, you'll know exactly what is happening, every step of the way. Even in the deepest 'trance' state, you can rest assured: you are safe in your own hands!

I have seen hypnosis on stage before!

Stage Hypnosis is purely a form of entertainment. It is not associated with professional and clinical hypnotherapy. You will not cluck like a chicken, nor will you dance uncontrollably when a random song comes on the radio, after your sessions at The Process Room.

 
 
  • In the past two decades, the advancements in hypnosis and hypnotherapy have been astonishing.

    The old form of ‘script-reading’ hypnotherapy, whilst still widely practiced, is a 'one-size fits-all' approach to treatment. It excludes the finer details of your own life experience, which are now considered central to the success and durability of hypnosis therapy.

    With modern hypnotherapy, we rely on you to provide the story in order to personalise your experience of hypnosis. In some respect, you become the writer and you remain the central 'character' throughout.

    As a result of this contribution to your treatment process, no two sessions are ever the same at The Process Room.

  • If you have the ability to 'focus' on something, then yes: you can be hypnotised.

    In fact, any time you are deeply focused on doing something routine or familiar, you are engaged in the kind of trance we utilise in hypnotherapy.

    Have you ever driven a car from A-to-B and wondered how you got there; not having recalled familiar landmarks along the way? This is an example of a trance-state occurring in your day-to-day life: you were so focused on something that the details of the outside world seemed to fall away.

  • The Process Room accepts clients aged 12-years and older.

    Clients under the age of 18 will require a parent or guardian be present for the duration of each session. Please account for this in your schedule when booking on behalf of a minor.

    If you are uncertain, please use the enquiry form on our Connect page to reach out.

  • Unless you are a guardian for a prospective client or are considering booking for a minor (ages 12 to 16) most adults are required to make their own appointments with The Process Room.

    Hypnosis performed on individuals who enter the treatment process unwillingly, have a diminished chance of treatment success.

    If you are uncertain, or hoping to make a booking for someone else, please use the enquiry form on our Connect page to reach out.

  • Treatment plans for most concerns are normally achieved within 4 to 6 sessions (each of 60-minutes duration), preferably completed at regular intervals across consecutive weeks (for example: every Thursday afternoon at 4pm, for a month).

    Your Treatment Plan may include 'tasks' to do: small yet significant things, such as listening to the recording of your previous session or writing down thoughts or experiences that arise throughout the ensuing week.

    A follow-up package of three sessions, when purchased in-full (after your initial consultation), normally provides sufficient reinforcement of the results of your hypnotherapy treatment.

    Please see our Fee Schedule on the Connect page for more details.

  • Whenever you experience things that you don’t want in your life- behaviours or reactions that no longer serve you- hypnotherapy is a gentle and reliable tool to help remove the limits you'd rather live without.

    Hypnotherapy, when coupled with strategic psychotherapy, works to release you from each concern, in as little as a month (4 weekly sessions).

    Visit our Connect page to explore Treatment Options and our Follow-up Package (see ‘Fee Schedule’).

  • We also conduct virtual appointments via Zoom.

    It is worth noting that the overall therapeutic outcome does not differ greatly between sessions conducted virtually or clinically.

    For virtual sessions, please ensure you have a fast and reliable internet connection and a private space in which to sit that is free from interruption and distractions for the entire duration of your session.

    Consultation options at The Process Room are:

    Virtual (Zoom) - A flexible and effective approach to consultation with The Process Room.

    In-Person - Available when Virtual visits to The Process Room are not possible.

    Please see our Connect page for further details.

Please note: New clients are required to complete a confidential Client Intake Form prior to arriving at their first session. This forms an essential part of the professional Clinical Intake process. The information you provide on this form establishes an overview of your current physical and emotional well-being and is held, along with all subsequent treatment notes, in accordance with Australian Privacy and Confidentiality legislation.
