Frequently Asked Questions

About the work

What is Between Versions?

Between Versions is a grounded, evidence-informed hypnotherapy practice supporting gut–brain symptoms, stress-related patterns, anxiety, and meaningful personal change.

The work helps people shift the internal responses and repeated patterns that keep them stuck mentally, emotionally, or physically — especially when insight alone has not been enough to create change.

What kinds of issues can this work support?

This work may support gut–brain symptoms such as urgency, bloating, abdominal discomfort, or symptom-related anxiety, stress, anxiety, overthinking, emotional overload, confidence issues, repeated behavioural patterns and life transitions.

Support is always tailored to the person and the pattern involved.

Who is this work for?

This work is for people who often understand the issue logically, but still find their body, emotions, behaviour, or symptoms reacting in the same way.

It tends to suit people looking for grounded, structured support rather than generic advice, surface-level mindset work, or pressure-based change.

Do I need to know what’s “wrong” before starting?

No. Many people begin with a strong sense that something feels off, repeating, or difficult to shift — even if they do not have the right language for it yet.

Part of the work is helping identify what your system is already showing, and working from there.

About hypnotherapy

What role does hypnotherapy play?

Hypnotherapy is one of the main tools used to work with the nervous system, subconscious patterns, emotional responses, and learned internal reactions that are not always easy to shift through insight alone.

It is used in a calm, structured, practical way to help the system respond differently over time.

Will I be “out of control” during hypnotherapy?

No. You remain aware, present, and in control throughout the session.

Hypnotherapy is a focused state of attention — similar to being deeply absorbed in something — not unconsciousness. You can speak, pause, or stop at any time.

Is this evidence-informed?

Yes. The work integrates evidence-informed understanding of the nervous system, emotional regulation, behaviour change, and subconscious patterning.

It is grounded, practical, and designed to support real-life change without hype or exaggerated claims.

How is this different from coaching or traditional therapy?

Coaching often focuses on conscious goals, behaviour, accountability, and strategy.

Traditional therapy may focus more on processing, understanding, and exploring experiences over time.

This work focuses on changing the internal patterns and responses that may be driving how a person feels, behaves, or experiences symptoms in the present.

About sessions

What happens in a session?

Sessions follow the Between Versions method:

Uncover → Recalibrate → Embody

  • Uncover: We identify the internal patterns shaping your current experience.

  • Recalibrate: Hypnotherapy is used to update patterns that no longer match your reality.

  • Embody: Clarity, stability, and aligned behaviour become the new baseline.

Clients typically leave feeling:

  • Clearer

  • Lighter

  • More internally steady

  • Certain about their next step

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on:

  • The patterns involved

  • The depth of the transition

  • Your internal capacity and readiness

Many clients experience significant shifts within a small number of sessions because the work operates at the root.

This is discussed transparently and collaboratively — there is no pressure.

Is this emotional or intense?

The work is regulating, not overwhelming.

Emotional responses may arise, but they are not the goal.

The aim is:

  • Stability

  • Clarity

  • Internal alignment

Clients often describe the experience as calm, precise, and relieving rather than emotionally charged.

Do you work online?

Sessions are primarily delivered online, allowing clients to work from a familiar, regulated environment.

In-person sessions may be available by request.

The work is equally effective in both formats.

About getting started

How do I know if this is the right next step?

If you resonate with the experience of:

  • Being externally capable but internally overloaded

  • Feeling like something is shifting beneath the surface

  • Wanting clarity, not motivation

  • Knowing what used to work no longer works

Then this is likely the right kind of work — even if the timing needs to be clarified.

What is the first step?

The first step is a clarity-based conversation to assess fit, readiness, and direction.

There is no pressure, no sales process, and no obligation.

Just clarity.
