Got more questions? Email louisegoddard@schoolyourmind.com to
set up a free 15 minute consultation. It can be by phone, or if
your long distance doesn't cover Canada, we can talk on Skype.
The Skype name to use is SchoolYourMind
You don't :)
Individual NLP-based coaching and Hypnosis is done over the 'phone
or over Skype, so you can feel comfortable and secure
in your own familiar environment when we work together.
Can
I have sessions in-person?
Yes, if you are able to travel to my location.
Please note that this incurs a higher fee per
session.
How
much does this cost? Fees and how to pay are
discussed at the bottom of this page.
Do
NLP and Hypnosis work over the phone or Skype?
Yes. I will have assessed your needs and suitability to the process
in the initial (free) phone or Skype consultation (15 minutes).
And, if you have the willingness, maturity and the ability to
focus and follow my guidance and simple instructions, the NLP-based
coaching and hypnosis can work for you.
The advantage of having coaching and hypnosis by phone or by Skype
instead of having sessions at an office is that you can relax
in an environment of your choosing, somewhere you are used to
relaxing. It's so much to relax fully if you're able to control
your environment, no dealing with traffic before your session,
no wondering if some stranger's going to walk into the office,
etc. Personally I attribute my high success rate to my working
mostly in this medium.
If you wish to use Skype, it can be downloaded for free from www.skype.com.
Just set up a 'name' for yourself and add SchoolYourMind as a
new contact from the Contacts menu.
It is the clients' responsibility to ensure that they know how
to use Skype and that their connection is sufficient for sessions
to take place. Any time spent instruction regarding how to use
Skype will cut into your session. Skype is easy to use but sometimes
clients take a while getting their headset plugged in, adjusting
the volume, putting their laptop near their bed or couch... My
suggestion is to do all these things before your session begins.
Of course, if Canada is covered in your long-distance phone plan,
then there is no need for us to use Skype. Sessions can effectively
take place by 'phone.
Do I
need to be 'technically-minded'?
No, but it
makes the booking process easier if you are competent in sending
and receiving email.
Almost every client
or every person who has ever enquired about hypnosis with me has
asked me this, so I've created this blog post, 'Who can or cannot
be hypnotised?'. You can read it on the blog page of this site,
or by clicking this link ->
whocannotbehypnotised.html
How long
is a session?
A typical coaching and hypnosis session lasts approximately 60
minutes.
The first session may be a little longer - 70-75 minutes.
It depends on the area to be addressed. Coaching and hypnosis
sessions are recommended at least once a week.
In the case of addictions or fear removal, I recommend that the
first three sessions are within four-five days of each other.
When
can I have my hypnosis sessions?
7 days a week, daytime or nightime.
Since I often do phone sessions late at night with people in other
time zones/other countries, I may not be available to do early
morning sessions. Just ask though, as it simply depends on the
previous night's schedule.
What happens
first?
Set up a free 15 minute phone consultation. During this call,
you can explain what changes you want to make and find out if
hypnosis and NLP can help you.
I recommend that you
use headphones for the best experience. When people call, they
generally plug some headphones or ear buds whichever they find
comfortable into their cell phone, or computer. Speakerphone is
fine too, but of course headphones will cut out any minor noise
around you.
They then get comfortable in their favourite place to lie back
and relax. No, not the bath please! It needs to be somewhere where
you can safely close your eyes and relax.
Sometimes people do drift off into a light sleep, so it needs
to be a place where you could do that safely.
Even if you feel like you went off to sleep, the hypnosis will
still work. You do not need to listen consciously, your subconscious
'hears' what I say and will absorb all of the suggestions that
are useful to you.
Whatever you choose to tell me is confidential unless I believe
it is or could be of an illegal nature or somehow harmful to people
or animals, or in extreme circumstances, the environment.
Sessions are not to be recorded by either party.
The content of my hypnosis sessions are my intellectual property
so any recording of them is strictly prohibited.
Rescheduling
Please give at least 24 hours notice.
If you do not show up for your session
With the exception of unforeseen circumstances such as illness
or accident, if you miss a session and you have not told me ahead
of time, the skipped session will be deducted from your remaining
sessions.
Please be aware that I do not send out reminders. If keeping
appointments is an issue for you, my suggestion is that you set
reminders on your phone, your computer or other electronic device.
Once
two or more timeslots have been used/rendered unusable*, the maximum
refund is $100 for four session programs, and $200 for six session
programs.
No refund is given if half or more of the paid** sessions
have been used/rendered
unusable* unless there is a proven impossibility to have the remaining
sessions either by telephone or by Skype.
In ANY situation, i.e. whether sessions have or have not commenced,
there will be a charge for:
~ an administration
fee of $100
~ all time spent at a rate of $150 per 60 mins
~ any audios sent to the client
~ any expenses incurred by the coach/hypnotist in this process
~ any 'peak time' sessions already booked that are not able to
be filled by other clients (sessions booked between 6pm and 10pm)
*Rendered unusable
is when the 60 minute timeslot cannot be filled by another client
because it's been partially used or cancelled at less than 24
hours' notice.
**Bonus sessions are not included in the number of booked sessions.
If you do not have international calls in your long-distance plan,
my suggestion is to use a pre-paid phone card. These are usually
available at supermarkets and other retail outlets. For example,
worldwide calls using a Walmart pre-paid phone card cost approx.
4 cents per minute.
$150 per 60 minute
session by phone or Skype, which comprises approximately 45-50
minutes' hypnosis, with some coaching including the teaching of
some easy yet powerful NLP techniques that you can use on your
own every day.
$200 per 60 minute session if the sessions are to be conducted
in-person.
I take bookings and
payment for four sessions at one time.
This is partly because I recommend four sessions in order to make
lasting changes, partly because I will create individualised sessions
for you and partly for the psychological element of your making
a commitment to four sessions and to making a positive change
in your life whether it's your health, your career or your personal
life.
Will it be covered
by my health insurance?
Hypnotherapy is not often covered by extended healthcare plans.
This seems to be changing a little, e.g. I have been told that
Sunlife, Blue Cross and Manulife are becoming a little more open
minded and reimburse all or some of the costs of Hypnotherapy
for smoking cessation and stress management. It is worth enquiring,
particularly if an employer has suggested that there is a need
for it.
Book six sessions in advance (e.g.three for Ultimate Confidence
and three for losing weight and getting healthier is one of the
most popular combinations) and you will receive an extra 45 minute
hypnosis session free of charge, plus a free hypnosis audio of
your choice when you finished all of your sessions.
Sessions are only considered booked when payment has been
confirmed and accepted.
