Approach FAQ
What is the difference between hypnotherapy and counselling?
Both can begin with conversation. Clinical hypnotherapy adds a deliberate way of working with focused attention.
Different doorways
Conversation, attention and imagination.
Counselling usually centres conversation, reflection and the therapeutic relationship. Clinical hypnotherapy also uses conversation, while deliberately including focused attention, imagery, metaphor or suggestion.
Some parts of a hypnotherapy session may feel conversational. That time helps Rachel understand what brings you, what matters and what you would like to feel more free to do. Hypnosis is introduced collaboratively, and you remain able to ask questions, pause or stop.
Change In Mind offers clinical hypnotherapy only. Rachel’s counselling, arts therapy, couples work and clinical supervision are offered through her separate Hiskins Arts Therapy & Counselling practice.
Change In Mind provides clinical hypnotherapy and is not a crisis service. Rachel will discuss referral options when another form of care may be more appropriate.
