Private sessions with Rowan...

Private sessions last approximately 90 minutes. You should schedule 2 hours, 'just in case'. These are very in-depth sessions that usually involve a combination of modalities. Each session is solution-oriented, and while you may need to give me some history and tell me your story once, you will find these sessions quickly deviate from 'standard' therapy or counseling. Once we know what we are working with, we stay focused on the goal. Sometimes JUST creating a clear goal for your sessions gives us exactly what we need to get you there.

Do you know what you want? Can you imagine HAVING it? Feeling it, hearing it, seeing it? Then you can open your minds' eye to finding it or creating it.

In a private session, you and I will spend the first few minutes just chatting. If it is your first session, we will go over the paperwork you've filled out, and discuss your goals. I will answer any and all questions you have, and you will be given the opportunity to continue the session, or change your mind. Although I do not offer 'free consultations', if after we have spent a few minutes together you decide we are not a good match, you will be free to end the session early at no charge. Once you have chosen to move forward, we will utilize whatever tools work for you - hypnosis, NLP, EFT...or something else. In other words, flexibility is the key. While some people want to experience 'traditional' hypnosis, most are more interested in the outcome, and don't really care what tool we use to get there. For a LOT of people, traditional hypnosis IS the best tool. For some people, the path to the goal may look very different. It is YOUR goal, YOUR session, and we will do what we need to do, to get the results YOU want.

Will that happen in a single session? Maybe. Possibly. For many people, definitely. Sometimes a single session is enough - sometimes you might need 3...or even 6. Yep - 6 sessions...NOT 6 months, or 6 years. Some of the most complex single issues I've helped people with have taken 7 sessions. That means for any given, focused, single issue, you can count on significant progress in a VERY short period of time.

An average session will involve some history and inquiry, some form of hypnotic intervention (an NLP process, direct suggestion hypnosis, etc), and sessions usually end with a relaxed hypnotic 'wrap-up' designed to emphasize and reinforce the work we did that day.

Most people leave the sessions feeling much better than when they arrived, and able to continue with their day with energy and focus. We will have a good sense of whether you need another session at the end of the first session, but sometimes I advise people to 'be with it' for a couple of days, and then let me know if they feel they need more sessions. Remember - you are in charge of the entire process. While I can advise you, I will not decide FOR you whether more sessions are in order. If you feel the work is productive, and you are not yet feeling exactly the way you want to feel - by all means, continue sessions. However, if for any reason you feel like you are coming to sessions but not making any progress, you should discontinue immediately. These sessions are about results and progress. That means each session should produce SOME positive benefit for you, even if you are not 'done' yet.
