Is this the same as stage hypnosis?

No. Stage hypnosis is after the short-term show effect. Hypnotherapy is a serious, evidence-informed method for lasting change.

Do I lose control during hypnosis?

No. You stay conscious throughout the session and remain in control at all times – hypnosis is a state of focused relaxation, not a loss of control.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on your concern. Some issues resolve in a single session, others need several – and some are even suited to continuous, long-term support, for example during difficult life stages.

Is hypnotherapy available online?

Yes. For some topics, online actually works especially well – you can keep relaxing in your own space afterward and let the session settle in, rather than heading straight back out into the world.

Is my information confidential?

Yes. I'm bound by professional confidentiality – everything discussed in our sessions is protected and never shared with third parties.

Not just an immediate solution, but also long-term support

Hypnotherapy doesn't have to end with a single issue. Especially during challenging phases of life – such as grief or significant life changes – it can provide ongoing support rather than just a one-off intervention. It can also be used preventively to build stability before difficulties even arise.

Hypnosis can help to become more aware of one's own needs, feelings, and perspectives.

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy works by deliberately ‘reprogramming’ your subconscious mind – helping you let go of behaviors that no longer serve you and build new ones you actually want, in almost any area of life.

As a certified hypnotherapist (Paul McKenna Certified Hypnotherapist, 2024–2025, and advanced training with Dr. Stefan Junker, 2023), I work with you on change that actually holds.

Procedure & costs of hypnotherapy

My hypnotherapy has three phases:

Getting started | 80 minutes, CHF 245
We talk through what brings you here, and any questions you have. The clearer I am on what you need, the more precisely we can work towards it in the session itself.

Hypnotherapy session | 50 minutes, CHF 165
This is the hypnosis work itself. Depending on your concern, a few more sessions can help. Whether you want hypnosis as a one-off or as longer-term support is something we decide together.

Making it stick | 50 minutes, CHF 165
We look back together: what has already shifted in your daily life, where you can feel your new resources, and where you might want to sharpen things further.

Please note: health insurers and private insurance providers currently do not cover these costs.

Show effect or real change?

Stage hypnosis is built for short-term, staged effects – the classic performance trick.

My work aims in exactly the opposite direction: toward lasting, real change that still shows up in your daily life weeks and months later.
