FAQ's

What is Resource Therapy?

Resource Therapy is a dynamic form of psychotherapy that helps individuals access the inner parts of themselves — their “resources” — to resolve emotional struggles, break unhelpful patterns, and support personal growth. It works by bringing the exact part of you that needs change into the therapy process, so lasting shifts can happen more quickly and directly.

How is Resource Therapy different from traditional talk therapy?

Unlike traditional talk therapies, which often focus on exploring past experiences or analysing behaviour, Resource Therapy goes straight to the source of inner conflict. It works with the specific part of the mind that’s holding pain, fear, or unwanted habits — allowing real change to happen at the level where it’s needed most. It’s a focused, respectful, and empowering approach that helps people feel more in control, more aligned, and more at peace.

Is Resource Therapy effective?

Yes — Resource Therapy has been highly effective in helping people overcome a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and unresolved trauma. Because it works directly with the part of the mind that needs support, many clients notice significant shifts within just a few sessions. Like any therapy, results can vary depending on the individual and the nature of the issue, but its focused approach often leads to faster and longer-lasting outcomes.

How long does Resource Therapy take?

Sessions typically run between 45 minutes and 1 hour. The number of sessions needed depends on your goals and the complexity of what you're working through. Some clients experience noticeable change in just a few sessions, while others may benefit from a slightly longer process. Resource Therapy is designed to be efficient, targeted, and respectful of your time — helping you move forward without feeling stuck in long-term therapy.

What can I expect during a Resource Therapy session?

In a Resource Therapy session, we’ll work together to identify the specific part of you that’s holding onto distress — whether it’s fear, self-doubt, anger, or something else. Using gentle techniques such as guided imagery, focused attention, and respectful dialogue, we bring that part into the session so it can be heard, understood, and supported. You won’t just talk about the issue — you’ll work directly with the part of you that’s ready for change. Sessions are collaborative, safe, and tailored to your unique needs.

What types of issues can Resource Therapy help with?

Resource Therapy can be highly effective for a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges, including:

• Anxiety and stress

• Depression

• Phobias and fears

• Low self-worth or confidence issues

• Relationship difficulties

• Unresolved trauma

• Habits and self-sabotage

It’s also a powerful tool for personal growth, helping individuals build greater emotional resilience, self-awareness, and overall wellbeing.

Is Resource Therapy right for everyone?

While Resource Therapy is effective for many people, it may not be the best fit for everyone — particularly those dealing with acute mental health crises or severe psychiatric conditions. If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, I encourage you to reach out. We can talk through your needs and see whether Resource Therapy is the best approach, or whether another option may be more suitable.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation where the conscious mind becomes quieter, and the unconscious mind is more open to positive suggestion. In this state, you remain aware and in control, while your mind becomes more receptive to change. Hypnosis is commonly used to help people shift habits, reduce fear and anxiety, and overcome emotional blocks.

Is hypnosis safe?

Yes — hypnosis is considered safe when guided by a qualified practitioner. You are never under anyone’s control, and you can’t be made to do anything against your will. If you have any concerns, it’s always best to discuss them with your therapist before starting a session.

How does hypnosis work?

Hypnosis helps you bypass the overthinking, critical part of the mind and reach the deeper part that stores patterns, emotions, and beliefs. Through guided imagery, relaxation, and suggestion, we can communicate directly with the subconscious to support lasting change — whether that’s breaking a habit, calming anxiety, or building confidence.

Can anyone be hypnotised?

Most people can enter a hypnotic state if they’re willing and open to the process. It doesn’t require any special skill — just a willingness to relax and follow gentle guidance. If someone is highly resistant or doesn’t want to be hypnotised, it’s unlikely to be effective.

What does hypnosis feel like?

People often describe hypnosis as feeling deeply relaxed, calm, and mentally focused — similar to a daydream or the feeling just before sleep. Some feel very present and aware, while others feel like time has passed quickly. Every experience is a little different, but most find it peaceful and enjoyable.

How long does a hypnosis session last?

Most hypnosis sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your goals and what we’re working on. Some issues may be addressed in just one session, while others may benefit from a short series of sessions for deeper or more lasting change.

Are the effects of hypnosis permanent?

Hypnosis can lead to long-lasting change, especially when it’s paired with your own desire and commitment to grow. Some people benefit from occasional follow-up sessions or self-hypnosis tools to reinforce progress over time. Like anything related to personal growth, consistency helps maintain the results.
