Never Experienced Hypnosis Before? Here's Exactly What Happens During a Free Taster Session

Aug 8
3 min read


One of the most common questions I hear is:

"I've always been curious about hypnosis... but what is it actually like?"

For many people, the unknown is the biggest obstacle.

You've probably seen hypnosis on television, heard stories from friends, or watched videos online, but none of those really show what a genuine hypnotherapy session feels like.

That's exactly why I offer a Free Hypnosis Taster Session.

It's designed to remove the uncertainty and give you the opportunity to experience hypnosis for yourself, with absolutely no pressure or obligation.


What Is a Hypnosis Taster Session?

Think of it as an introduction rather than a therapy session.

We'll spend some time discussing:

  • What hypnosis really is

  • How the unconscious mind works

  • Common myths and misconceptions

  • Any questions or concerns you might have

  • Whether hypnotherapy is suitable for your situation


After that, if you'd like to continue, I'll guide you into a relaxing hypnotic experience so you can discover what it actually feels like.

There's no stage hypnosis.

No loss of control.

No embarrassing moments.

Just a calm, enjoyable experience where you remain aware and in control throughout.


Will I Be Hypnotised?

Almost certainly.

Most people enter hypnosis far more easily than they expect.

In fact, many people leave the session saying something along the lines of:

"I thought I was awake the whole time."

That's perfectly normal.

Hypnosis isn't unconsciousness.

It's a naturally focused state of attention that most of us experience every day while driving, reading a book or becoming completely absorbed in a film.


What Happens During the Experience?

Every session is tailored to the individual, but I often demonstrate how hypnosis can change the emotional response attached to a memory.

This doesn't erase the memory itself.

Instead, it simply helps remove some of the unnecessary emotional intensity while keeping the learning and experience intact.

Many people are surprised at just how different they feel afterwards.

Others simply enjoy experiencing deep relaxation for the first time in years.


Who Is It For?

A taster session is ideal if you're considering hypnotherapy for:

  • Anxiety and overthinking

  • Stress

  • Confidence

  • Public speaking

  • Weight management

  • Stop Smoking

  • Fears and phobias

  • Sleep difficulties

  • Breaking unwanted habits

Even if you're still undecided, it gives you the opportunity to discover whether hypnotherapy feels right for you before committing to a full programme.


The free taster can be completed either:

  • Online via Google Meet

  • In person at my therapy room in Newbury

The experience is very similar whichever option you choose, and many people are surprised by how effective online hypnosis can be.


Do I Have To Book Therapy Afterwards?

Absolutely not.

The purpose of the taster session is simply to let you experience hypnosis and decide whether it's something you'd like to explore further.

If you feel it's right for you, we can discuss the most appropriate programme.

If not, that's perfectly fine too.

There's never any pressure.


Why I Offer It For Free

Hypnosis is difficult to explain because it's something you really need to experience.

A free taster allows you to replace uncertainty with first-hand experience.

Rather than wondering whether hypnosis works, you'll have a much clearer understanding of how it feels and whether it's something you'd like to use to create positive change.


If you've always been curious about hypnotherapy but never known where to start, a free taster session is the perfect first step.


You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, experience genuine hypnosis, and decide for yourself whether it's right for you.

Whether you're looking to overcome anxiety, stop smoking, improve confidence or simply discover what hypnosis feels like, I'd be delighted to welcome you.
