What It’s Really Like to Have RTT Hypnotherapy with Me in Brighton

When people search for hypnotherapy Brighton, they often want to know what the actual experience will be like before they book in. It’s natural to feel a mix of curiosity, nerves, and hope. You might be wondering: Will I go under? What will it feel like? Will it actually work for me?

I’d love to take you behind the scenes and show you what it’s really like to have Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) with me here in Brighton (or online) from the moment you book, to what happens in the session, to the ripple effects that unfold afterwards.

Step One: The Consultation 

The process begins with a free 45 minute consultation call via zoom which you book yourself via the link at the bottom. This is where you get to ask questions, share a little about your situation, and most importantly, feel into whether I’m the right fit for you. Choosing a hypnotherapist in Brighton is about trust, resonance, and feeling safe, understood and supported.  

On this call, I listen carefully without judgement. I’ll ask you about what’s been happening, what you’ve tried before, and what you’d love to experience instead. Very often, people come to me when they feel stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, guilt, or exhaustion.  These are the invisible battles that no one else can see.  

Step Two: Preparing for the Session

Once you decide to go ahead, we'll find a mutually beneficial time to do the session.  Once that's booked in, you'll get an email from me with a payment link to settle the deposit (via bank transfer or credit/debit card).  On that email is also a pre session recording that you can start to listen to in order to prime your mind for the changes ahead.  I'll also send you a form to sign to confirm that you understand the nature of our theraputic relationship and how you can expect to see the changes.     At the time of booking, most of my clients say they feel a strange relief, as if the transformation has already started.  

Step Three: Dropping In, The RTT Session

Now to the part everyone is curious about: the session itself.

We meet either online or in person here in Brighton, and we begin by having a conversation to settle your nervous system and to get really focussed on the changes you want to see. I’ll guide you into a deeply relaxed state, not asleep, but not in your busy beta brainwaves either. Think of it like that dreamy, floaty state just before sleep, where your conscious mind relaxes and your subconscious becomes more available.  It's not anaesthetic, it's just like watching a film and when you wake up, you feel 'lighter' but you don't always remember the details

This is where RTT works its magic. I’ll guide you back to the scenes and memories that are at the root of your current struggles.  It’s never about reliving trauma, it’s about revisiting scenes and senses with your adult awareness, gathering insight, and releasing the emotional charge that’s been stuck for years.

People often say, “Oh! That’s why I’ve been reacting like this.” It’s like finding the missing puzzle piece. Suddenly, things that never made sense begin to click into place.  And even if people know logically what is at the root of their issue, when they experience it under hypnosis, they can get a different sense of it.   

Hypnosis is not anaesthetic, it's just like watching a film and when you wake up at the end, you feel 'lighter' but you don't always remember the details.  

Sally Bunkham says:  "It was intense, healing, deeply relaxing and very illuminating.  To be honest I can't remember a lot of what happened because I was in a state, in another world in a room in my brain I'd never been in before!  But WOW, if anyone has thought about doing this.... do it.  What an amazing experience!"

Step Four: Rewiring the Mind

Once we’ve uncovered the root causes, we shift into transformation. This is where I guide your subconscious mind into creating new, empowering beliefs and better coping strategies. We use the power of hypnotic language, metaphor, and emotion to embed a fresh, healthier script into your system.

Think of it as upgrading your inner operating system. Where before there may have been fear, self-blame, or exhaustion, you’ll start to feel trust, freedom, and empowerment.

This is also where I record a bespoke audio for you. It’s crafted in my voice, using your exact desires and language, so that you can listen back for at least 30 days. This helps to lock in the new patterns and strengthen the rewiring process.

Step Five: The Ripple Effect

After the session, change can unfold in different ways. Some people feel lighter instantly, as though a weight has lifted. Others notice subtler shifts over weeks, like calmer reactions, more confidence, or a sense of ease where there used to be dread.

For example, a client who came for driving anxiety in Brighton found that not only did her fear of driving subside, but she also felt less tense in work meetings. Another client who came for sleep issues realised her relationship with her parents started softening too.

This is the beauty of RTT: when you address the root, many branches of your life begin to flourish.

What People Often Say After a Session

• “I feel like myself again – like the real me has come back online.”

• “It’s like I can breathe for the first time in years.”

• “Things that used to trigger me just don’t anymore.”

These are common reflections. RTT is about real, sustainable change.

Why Brighton?

You might be wondering why I emphasise Brighton. Well, it’s not just because that’s where I live and practice. Brighton has its own energy.... open, eclectic, creative, and healing. Many people come here seeking transformation, whether through yoga, therapy, alternative healing, or simply by walking along the seafront and feeling the horizon open up.

Having hypnotherapy in Brighton means you’re stepping into a city that welcomes change, that holds a spirit of freedom and reinvention.

What Makes Working With Me Different?

Every hypnotherapist in Brighton has their own style. Mine is trauma-informed, deeply intuitive, and rooted in years of experience.  I walk beside you as you rediscover your resilience.

Clients often say they feel safe with me because I balance warmth with depth. I’m not afraid to go into the difficult places with you (and even challenge you), but I’ll always ensure we come out the other side with lightness, clarity, and integration.

Taking the Next Step

If you’ve been searching for hypnotherapy Brighton because you’re ready to shift something that has felt immovable for too long, know this: transformation is possible. RTT is not about willpower or forcing yourself to change it’s about aligning your subconscious with who you truly are, and it's really powerful. 

So if you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer, and more free, I’d love to work with you.
