What is coaching hypnosis?

Coaching hypnosis combines life coaching (goal‑setting, action-planning, mindset) with hypnosis (deep, subconscious work) to help you make lasting changes. On the coaching side, we clarify what you want and how to get there; with hypnosis, we align your subconscious beliefs to support your goals.

How is this different from regular coaching or therapy?

• Unlike typical coaching, hypnosis allows us to access and shift subconscious patterns, not just work at the conscious level.

• Compared to therapy: while there may be overlap, coaching hypnosis is action‑oriented and future‑focused — it’s about creating change, not just processing past trauma.

What can I use coaching hypnosis for?
Some common areas include:

• Improving confidence and self-worth

• Overcoming anxiety or depressive thoughts

• Breaking bad habits (e.g., quitting smoking, emotional eating)

• Weight loss or healthier lifestyle changes

• Enhancing relationships

• Career shifts / finding purpose

• Building motivation and clarity

How many sessions do I need?

My core program is a 12‑week plan, with weekly coaching + hypnosis sessions. However, individual needs vary — after our first call, I’ll recommend a structure tailored to you.

What does a session look like?

During each session:

• We start with a coaching conversation to identify your goals, current challenges, and action steps.

• Then we go into a guided hypnosis experience to work on subconscious beliefs or blocks.

• Finally, we debrief and set homework or tools (affirmations, self‑hypnosis, exercises) to embed change.

Will I lose control during hypnosis?

No — even under hypnosis, you remain in control. You can open your eyes, speak, or stop at any time. Hypnosis is a cooperative process, not something that happens to you. Hypnotherapy Sydney Mindset Coach+2Helen Marie Hypnotherapy+2

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the package or program you choose. Let’s discuss it during your free consultation, and I’ll lay out the options clearly so you can pick what works best for your goals and budget.

What if I'm already seeing a therapist or coach?

That’s totally fine. Coaching hypnosis can complement other forms of support (therapy, counselling, coaching). We'll work together in a way that respects and supports your existing journey. (See similar approaches in professional practices.) Ian Franklin Hypnotherapy

Do you provide recordings or self‑hypnosis tools?

Yes — part of the program can include custom audio recordings or self-hypnosis exercises so you can continue the work between sessions.

Will the changes last?

Many clients experience long-lasting transformation because we’re working at both conscious and subconscious levels. However, change is a collaborative process — your commitment, follow-through, and practice between sessions play a big role.

What if I’m not sure coaching hypnosis is right for me?

The free consultation is a great opportunity to ask questions, share your concerns, and decide whether this approach feels like a fit. There’s no pressure — my aim is to support you in the best way possible, even if that means referring you elsewhere.
