Yes. and outcomes are comparable to in person sessions.

Clinical experience shows no meaningful difference in results between online and face to face Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Therapeutic rapport is established quickly and many clients achieve better outcomes online due to reduced stress, familiarity and convenience.

Online sessions are particularly effective for busy professionals who value:

  • Time efficiency
  • Privacy
  • Consistency

Clients simply need a private space and a stable internet connection.

For an online session, it is important to ensure that you are somewhere where you can have privacy should you need it, somewhere you will not be interrupted or disturbed and that you have a good internet connection.

Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of attention that allows the brain to become less reactive and more receptive to change. It is a state that we enter daily – for example when reading, driving or exercising.

In therapy, this state is used deliberately to reduce stress and interrupt unhelpful automatic patterns.

Yes. Trance is a natural brain state that everyone experiences daily.

The difference in therapy is not whether someone can enter trance but how effectively it is guided and applied. Clients often assume they “won’t be able to be hypnotised” and are typically surprised by how straightforward and natural the process feels.

No special ability or effort is required.

Yes. Hypnosis is safe, collaborative and client led.

You remain fully aware and in control at all times. Hypnotherapy cannot override your values, morals or judgement and nothing happens without your consent.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works by reducing stress and helping the brain move out of survival mode.

When stress is lowered, the mind becomes more flexible and responsive, making it easier to:

  • Interrupt unhelpful thought patterns
  • Change automatic emotional or behavioural responses
  • Improve sleep, mood, focus and resilience

Rather than analysing the past, the focus is on practical change and forward momentum.

Yes, where appropriate and often alongside medical professionals.

If a client has a diagnosed mental health condition, consent may be required to liaise with their GP or mental health provider. Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is frequently used in conjunction with medical care and many professionals actively refer clients for this approach.

The Initial Consultation is a structured, educational session and a core part of the therapy process.

During this session you will:

  • Learn how the brain responds to stress
  • Understand why your symptoms are occurring
  • Gain clarity on how therapy will help
  • Decide whether this approach is right for you

Many clients report feeling calmer and more hopeful simply from understanding what is happening in their brain.

Most clients require 6-12 sessions, depending on their goals and circumstances. Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is designed to work efficiently and many people need fewer sessions rather than more.

Progress is reviewed regularly and therapy continues only while it is useful.

"For ages I told myself that fearing flying was normal and made sense. I love to travel but my fear seemed to get worse and worse. I would land somewhere, super relieved to be safe and worry almost the entire time that I had to fly home. It was ruining my trips. I saw Emma just before I was due to fly to Bali. I had absolutely no confidence it would make any difference. We finished the last session the day before my flight and I did not think I felt any different. Then as I boarded the plane and flew, I was calm, not stressed, or jumpy. I even fell asleep on the flight which never happens. I flew several times on internal flights during the trip and each time I had no anxiety or fear. Totally amazing, made such a difference to my life!"

Emma is such an engaging person, I immediately felt relaxed and in safe hands. I 100% recommend.

Anxiety
"I have tried every diet; I have even tried not dieting or focussing on food. I felt I was a total failure. I did not want to go to parties or events or meet up with old friends as I had gained so much weight. I felt I looked awful, my world was getting smaller as I got bigger, just work, travel and alone at home. I saw Emma and everything suddenly made sense to me. I have been seeing her for a while now and I’m so shocked and delighted at the difference it has made. The weight is coming off, I’m making better decisions and focusing on the positives in my life. Other aspects of my life have also started to fall into place. I am starting to feel like I’m in control of my life, highly recommend."

"I felt out of sorts, just wanted more from my life. When I saw Emma, I was convinced that I would never go into trance. I was so pleased that within a minute or two it worked! Although I had no quite definite requirement, after about 8 sessions I could see an enormous difference. I had decorated my kitchen, I’d been putting it off for years, had all the kit but hadn’t got around to doing it. Within a few sessions I had started and completed it, totally not one of the aspects of therapy I was expecting. I started to drink less, took longer on each drink, my girlfriend commented that I came home ‘less stupid’! I lost weight, ate less in the evenings, cut down on takeaways and carbs. I hadn’t even known I wanted to do that! I feel more organised, less stressed and calmer, enormous difference to my life."

"I have been for a course of treatment with Emma . She is very kind and professional . I found the therapy very relaxing and feel that I have benefitted greatly from it . I have recommended her to my friends"

"I am happy to recommend The Cadogan Practice. Emma is very knowledgeable and immediately put me at ease. The results are subtle at first but then become more obvious and some are completely unexpected. I find myself so much calmer and more positive (and family/friends have also noticed this). I find myself planning things and doing things that I previously did not think possible with my anxiety. Above all, I sleep so well and that helps in so many ways. "

"I was anxious about therapy and it has taken years for me to consider it but I am so glad I did. I wanted to have greater self-confidence in both my career and my personal life. Having been made redundant and at the end of a relationship I wasn’t sure therapy would help. It has been so fantastic, I’ve already started a new job, feeling so much better about my position at work. It has given me the self belief and confidence I didn’t think I could ever have. I strongly recommend Emma."
