Frequently Asked Questions

Integrative Therapy is a personalised clinical approach where the method adapts to the patient, not the other way around. Grounded in the principles of the Handbook of Psychotherapy Integration, instead of using a single rigid technique, we combine cognitive, emotional and behavioural tools to create a tailored plan to your needs, your pace and your life story.

Recognised by the American Psychological Association (APA - Division 30), Clinical Hypnosis is not magic, but rather a state of absolute focus and deep relaxation (therapeutic trance). In this natural state, we bypass the "critical factor" of the conscious mind and access the subconscious directly. Comparative clinical studies reveal overwhelming results: while conventional psychotherapy shows a recovery rate of around 72% after 22 sessions, Clinical Hypnosis achieves a recovery rate of 93% in just 6 sessions (Barrios, 1970). It is the ideal approach for treating the emotional root of phobias, anxiety, trauma, grief, or for reprogramming habits.

Because it is the most powerful clinical formula for achieving lasting results. Leading meta-analyses have shown that adding Clinical Hypnosis to psychotherapeutic protocols substantially increases treatment efficacy. Therapy helps you rationally understand the problem, while Clinical Hypnosis reprograms the pain in the subconscious.

Individual Therapy focuses on continuous Integrative Therapy to treat broad emotional issues (e.g., anxiety, burnout, trauma). The pace follows your neurological stabilisation. Intervention Protocols (Gastric Band or Smoking Cessation) are programmes with a defined number of sessions, focused on a specific behavioural goal through rapid neuroplasticity.

Clinical Hypnosis is 100% safe. During the process, you maintain absolute control. Your self-preservation instinct remains active, so you will never do anything against your ethical or moral principles. It is not a "truth serum" and there is no risk of getting "stuck" in trance — you can open your eyes and leave that state whenever you wish.

Yes, absolutely. Clinical Hypnosis and Integrative Therapy are perfectly complementary to psychiatric medication (such as antidepressants or anxiolytics) and do not interfere in any way with their biochemical action. In fact, they are an excellent ally. By acting directly on the emotional root, they allow clinical advances to be faster and more comfortable for patients in distress, accelerating recovery while we work in full respect and harmony with your current medical plan.

No. Neuroimaging studies confirm that during Hypnosis, the brain enters Alpha and Theta brainwave frequencies. These waves are associated with deep relaxation and hyperfocus, but keep consciousness perfectly active. You may remember everything that was worked on, feeling incredibly relaxed.

There is no danger whatsoever. If the connection drops and you stop hearing the therapist's voice, your brain notices the absence of stimulus immediately. The natural result is that the therapeutic trance dissipates and you will open your eyes within moments, feeling awake and refreshed.

The answer is simple: the plan adapts to you. Clinical Hypnosis is a fantastic tool for accelerating results, but it is not an obligation. If you feel more comfortable carrying out your treatment exclusively through Integrative Therapy, that is perfectly valid and effective. Our space is one of total respect for your preferences, and our role is to guide the process in the way that brings you the greatest security and peace of mind.

Before the session, you will receive a secure link to access the video call. The first consultation (Anamnesis) is a crucial moment of clinical assessment where we map your history, understand your emotional needs and define, together and with full transparency, the goals and intervention plan.

Yes. A comprehensive meta-analysis published in the Journal of Technology in Human Services (Barak et al., 2008) confirms that the clinical efficacy of online therapy is statistically equivalent to in-person therapy, with the added benefit of the patient being in the comfort and safety of their own home.

The initial protocol prescribes one session per week for the first 4 sessions, essential for stabilising the nervous system. From the 4th session onwards, we can begin to space out appointments (e.g., fortnightly) so you can integrate the changes into your daily life.

The standard 50-minute slot often forces sessions to end exactly when you start touching the real wound. Our 75-minute sessions allow us to do the emotional assessment and apply the intervention techniques without you feeling rushed, giving us the depth needed for real, lasting results. You always finish in a state of deep calm.

Although there are no mathematical guarantees in mental health, our method was designed to be effective and accelerated. Many patients report significant anxiety relief, greater mental clarity and behavioural changes after just the first session.

We understand that unexpected things happen. To ensure respect for all patients' time, we ask that any changes be communicated with a minimum of 24 hours' notice.

Absolutely. All sessions are conducted on secure platforms with end-to-end encryption. We strictly comply with GDPR regulations and the professional confidentiality code of ethics.

Yes, science confirms its effectiveness. Clinical studies based on integrative approaches (such as Emotionally Focused Therapy) show that around 70% to 75% of couples recover from relational wear, and approximately 90% show significant improvements in their communication dynamics (Johnson et al., 1999). The success of the process always depends on one crucial factor: the mutual commitment of both partners to actively participate in change.

Infidelity creates a deep attachment trauma and is statistically one of the main reasons for seeking therapy. However, recovery is scientifically possible. Clinical studies on "attachment injuries" (Makinen & Johnson, 2006) show that more than 63% of couples manage to heal from the trauma of infidelity through a structured therapeutic process. Couples who complete this deep work frequently report levels of intimacy, empathy and honesty greater than those experienced before the crisis.

Couples Therapy is not exclusively for reconciliation. When separation is the inevitable or chosen path, therapy acts as a space for neutral clinical mediation (Separation Therapy). The goal becomes a "healthy uncoupling", ensuring peaceful communication, processing the grief of the relationship and preserving mutual respect — something especially critical and beneficial when children are involved.

90 minutes ensure that both partners have the time and space to express themselves without rush, with a neutral therapist mediating communication. It is the clinically appropriate length to deactivate 'attack and defence' patterns and build, within the same session, real bridges of understanding.

Yes. Structured Clinical Hypnosis protocols for smoking cessation show clinical success rates above 90%, in line with protocols such as the University of Washington's. This is possible because the intervention does not depend on conscious willpower alone; it acts directly on the neurological root of the addiction, eliminating the emotional trigger and the anxiety associated with nicotine withdrawal without causing painful withdrawal symptoms.

No. By reprogramming the emotional dependency and the automatic behaviour, we eliminate the psychological trigger of the cigarette, bypassing the usual anxiety of nicotine withdrawal. Our approach is focused on avoiding withdrawal syndrome and the typical weight gain.

Scientific evidence shows this is the most effective non-medical intervention, around 3x more effective than nicotine patches or lozenges at maintaining results long-term.

It is an 8-week clinical programme grounded in neuroscience. Phase 1 — The 21-Day Cycle (Neuroplasticity): based on Hebb's Law, we create new neural pathways and disable emotional hunger. Phase 2 — The Symbolic Intervention: deep hypnosis session where the brain assumes the virtual placement of the gastric band, physically reducing the sensation of hunger. Phase 3 — Consolidation and Reassessment: close follow-up with a guaranteed reassessment at 6 months.

It is 100% safe and free of physical side effects. Because it is a mental, non-invasive procedure, there are no incisions, anaesthetics, recovery time or infection risks. Evidence shows the Hypnotic Gastric Band more than doubles weight loss, with a 146-147% increase in long-term efficacy.

Yes, the efficacy is exactly the same. In fact, being in the comfort, safety and privacy of your own home often allows you to reach an even faster and deeper state of relaxation and inward focus, optimising the neurological results of the protocol.
