Dear sir

I am very keen to come for a session, but I wanted to know what sort of therapy you offer.

Thanks Geraldine

Dear Geraldine

I am a psychotherapist who uses a combination of psychodynamic psychotherapy and hypnosis. For some, hypnosis is not indicated. During the first session, we have time to talk about the process and would work best for you. Psychotherapy sessions are fifty minues and hypnotherapy sessions are the same length of time. I will also explain the process of hypnotherapy to you if this is indicated.
