What it can bring you
Why people come to see me
Get past a fear or phobia
Flying, driving, public speaking, injections: we work on the reaction itself.
Support you in quitting smoking
Hypnosis can help you hold out against cravings. The decision and the effort are still yours.
Change an eating habit
Snacking, evening compulsions: understand what's going on and find other ways to respond.
Ease anxiety and sleep better
Reach a calm state that you then learn to bring back on your own.
Clear a block
When you know what you ought to do, but something stops you.
Every programme is built around you.

It's named after Milton Erickson, an American psychiatrist. It has nothing to do with stage hypnosis. I don't give you orders and you don't fall asleep. I guide you into a state of inward-focused concentration, close to how you feel when you're absorbed in a book or a long drive.
You hear everything, you can speak, you can stop whenever you like. Nobody can make you do something against your will under hypnosis. What changes is that we can work more directly with your automatic reactions, the ones willpower alone struggles to shift.
What I don't promise
I see a lot of promises made about hypnosis: quit smoking in one session, lose ten kilos without effort. That's not how I work. Hypnosis can really help, but it needs your commitment, and results vary from person to person.
It doesn't replace a doctor. If you suffer from pain, an eating disorder or depression, talk to your doctor first. Hypnosis can come alongside.
Why only at the practice
I offer sophrology and coaching by video call, but not hypnosis. The setting matters a lot: the armchair, the quiet, being in the same room. I see you at 102 rue Ducau in Bordeaux, a practice you can reach by public transport, with free parking nearby.

Questions
Your questions
What is the difference between Ericksonian hypnosis and classical hypnosis?
So-called classical hypnosis uses direct suggestions, a bit like instructions. Ericksonian hypnosis works more through indirect suggestions, images and metaphors suited to the person. It's a more flexible approach that respects your pace.
Can hypnosis in Bordeaux help me stop smoking?
Hypnosis can help you manage cravings and break the associations (coffee, breaks, stress). But it doesn't decide for you: the wish to stop has to come from you. I can't guarantee results.
Does hypnosis help with weight loss?
It doesn't replace a diet or medical care. It can help you understand what's behind snacking or evening cravings, and find other ways to respond to stress. If you have an eating disorder, talk to your doctor first.
Does hypnosis have side effects?
They are rare and short-lived: a little tiredness, an emotion coming to the surface, sometimes a slight headache. If you have a psychiatric history, talk to me and to your doctor before starting.
How much does a hypnosis session cost in Bordeaux?
€80 for a 1-hour session, at my practice on rue Ducau. Hypnosis isn't covered by the French state health insurance (Sécurité sociale), but some French top-up health insurance providers ("mutuelles") cover part of the cost.
