Hypnotherapy Myths Busted #1You Won’t Lose Control - The Truth About Hypnosis and Autonomy

If you’ve ever considered hypnotherapy but felt uneasy about “losing control,” you’re not alone.

As a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist specialising in business confidence, I hear this concern from almost every new client. It’s a myth deeply embedded in popular culture, often fuelled by stage shows and movies.

But in reality, hypnotherapy is a collaborative, empowering process. One where you’re always in the driver’s seat.

Let me share a story.

Sarah, a solopreneur, told me after her first session, “I thought I’d feel out of it, but instead, I felt totally present and empowered - like I’d discovered a new toolkit inside myself.”

This is what I strive for in every session: to help you access strengths you already possess, not to take over your mind.

My approach is always transparent. You can pause, ask questions, or stop the session at any time. My role is to guide, not to dictate.

Think of hypnosis as being deeply absorbed in a book or a creative project - you’re focused, relaxed, but always able to put the book down or shift your attention if you choose.

Building trust starts with an open conversation. I offer free 15-minute consultations, not as a sales pitch, but as a genuine opportunity for you to ask anything. No question is too small or “silly.”
