Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to common questions about sessions, booking, and how hypnotherapy works.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
This depends on the issue being addressed and how long it has been present. Some problems may respond quickly, while others benefit from a more structured series of sessions.
Do I need a referral for hypnosis at Melbourne Clinical Hypnotherapy?
No referral is required. You can book directly or begin with a free phone consultation if you would like to discuss your situation first.
Will I be unconscious or out of control during the hypnotherapy session?
No. During hypnotherapy you remain aware and able to respond at all times. The process involves focused attention and relaxation rather than any loss of control.
Can I speak with Bruce before booking a hypnotherapy session?
Yes. A free 15-minute phone consultation is available if you would like to discuss your situation and whether hypnotherapy is likely to be a suitable fit.
What is the cancellation policy?
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. For the full policy details, refer to the booking information above.
