Our Guarantee, Fees and Health Funds

Many of our clients have tried a number of therapeutic approaches before finding us. Often trying to resolve their issues for years without success. Understandably they can be concerned about throwing more time and resources at the problem without an outcome.

This is why we are prepared to talk about guarantees.

If you want to access this facility all you have to do is talk to us at the beginning of the first session. We will establish what is possible and what is not. Our guarantees are conditional. They require you to do everything that is asked of you, both during a session, and between sessions.

This will usually include exercises and tasks that must be done to the letter. This might include physical tasks like being up at 5.30am for a walk, or mental tasks. The tasks are designed to reinforce the work done in session, and ensure your participation in your own recovery. If you do not like the sound of this, then the guarantee is not for you.

In addition, we will screen people more thoroughly when specifically asked for a guarantee. This might mean that we do not accept you as a client. Why? Because some people want us to wave a magic wand and fix their problem without them having to contribute at all. This is unrealistic. You are in charge of your life and your actions. This is the central premise of what we do. We can lead you to water, but...well, you know the rest..

Our Fees

NLP and Hypnotherapy are not regulated professions. Standards vary widely and you might be talking to a "Hypnotherapist" who has done a weekend course, or you could be talking to a HYPNOTHERAPIST who has several years of training and experience with all of the appropriate insurances, memberships and qualifications. This means comparisons can be difficult.

Hourly Rates/Packages

A lot of people call the office focusing on one thing...hourly rates. The real cost to you is not us... the real cost is keeping the problem.

So how do we charge? We have two ways you can pay for your services. One is by the hour, and the other is a package of 3 visits. Our standard hourly rate is $200 for Peter Withers and $250 per hour for Gordon Young. The 3 session package is $695 and applies to both Pater and Gordon. This translates in to a saving of up to to $180. It is your choice to make at the end of the first session, but we find that most of our clients (94%+) opt for the package.

How do we command hourly rates like this? We operate on a completely different paradigm to almost any hypnotherapist trained in this country. What we can do is significantly more advanced and your success is assured as long as you complete the programme.

You can decide whether you want to pay by the hour or by the package at the end of the first session.

When you book in, the first session will be either 1.5 or 2 hours long depending on who you see. This is because we need time to uncover what is happening with you, the possible causes, and still have time to actually achieve something of therapeutic value in that first session. Please don't ask for 1 hour sessions or some other variation on the programme. We know what works, which is why we do what we do.

If you are one of those people who has already "wasted" a lot of money seeing people who were unable to help then you might be excited to know that many people are well on their way by the end of the first session.

Cancellation Policy

We allow clients to cancel 24 hours prior to a session. We want you to commit to your sessions, that's why we enforce this rule. Any appointments cancelled after the 24 hour time limit will be forfeited.

Peace of Mind

If you are reading this and are thinking it is high risk then you'll be pleased to know although we will book you in for 1.5 hours as an initial consultation, the first 20 minute is obligation free. You can test us out, and we will assess your commitment to the process.

If there is not a good "fit" after 20 minutes, there is no cost and we do not continue. If you know you are in the right place you stay and we do the work.

Are We Right For You?

If we are right for you, you do not want to spend time talking about the past excessively. You just want to solve the issue, and if possible, shift the underlying cause of the issue. For instance, there is no point stopping smoking if you don't deal with the underlying anxiety. It just means you will go back to smoking later, or take up something else like sugar.

If money is such a key concern may we suggest that if your problem is not serious or at least not a significant impediment to your life e.g. nail biting, blushing, slightly unfocused at work, etc other therapists could attend to you.

If you have been struggling with the problem and it costs you money (usually in compensatory behaviour like excessive buying, drinking, smoking, drugs) in addition to the emotional costs of relationship breakdowns, general anxiety, depression, and overall poor quality of life, then we are your best option.

Health Funds

Hypnotherapy is covered by the following organisations but this is constantly changing and each has its own particular conditions that you must take in to account. The variables are many and are something that you must investigate for yourself. Our office cannot tell you with certainty that you will receive a refund, or how much you will receive.

Please check your own level of health cover to be certain of your entitlements.
