In my hypnotherapy practice, most of the heavy lifting in regards to evaluation is done at the beginning of the process. Clients fill out an in depth questionnaire that we subsequently discuss during a 60 minute intake session. This preliminary work allows me to determine the core issues at the root of my clients problem, and the best course of action for the therapy. From there, I can recalibrate the approach as the therapy unfolds. Hypnotherapy is a very effective and brief therapy, that gets to the root of the issues very quickly. Most clients can expect to start experiencing change or relief within the first few sessions.
