Our approach
Everyone is unique.  We work with you to help you define and reach your goals as quickly as possible.  At Tadpole Hypnotherapy, there is no “one size fits all”!

We focus on the future rather than the past, on solutions rather than problems.  Unlike some therapies, we expect our clients to enjoy their sessions and to start to see changes from the very first meeting!

The first session will start with a discussion to look at the issue and clarify your goals.  We'll find out what's stopping you getting there and what's going on in your life that's helping you.  You'll learn practical tips and techniques that you can take away with you.  This is normally followed by gentle hypnosis to relax you and help you lay down new patterns of behaviour.

We're working together to achieve your success.  That's why we make a commitment to you, and we ask you to make a commitment to your treatment.

We promise to:

  • Listen to and respect what you have to say and keep it confidential
  • Explain hypnotherapy and your treatment in a clear way
  • Work to the professional standards of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council
  • Help you get to your goal in as few sessions as possible
  • Act in your best interests at all times.

You promise to:

  • Be frank and honest with us to help us to help you
  • Arrive on time and settle bills promptly
  • Give us 48 hours notice of an appointment cancellation or change (except in an emergency) and understand you will be charged if this does not happen
  • Raise any concerns about your treatment promptly with us so that we can resolve them.
