    Key Takeaways From This Article

    • Personalized six-session hypnotherapy programs shaped around your specific needs in Bear Creek, NC.
    • Mindlayers certified practice with high professional, evidence-informed standards.
    • Free 60-minute consultation with zero pressure or sales pitch before you begin.

    If you are considering hypnotherapy, one of the first questions you probably have is straightforward: how much does it cost? It is a fair question, and you deserve a clear, honest answer rather than vague ranges or a request to call for pricing. This guide lays out exactly what hypnotherapy costs at my Bear Creek practice, what is included, how payment works, and why the programme is structured the way it is — so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.

    I believe in transparent pricing. The free 60-minute consultation is always free, the six-session programme is $995, and individual sessions are $199, paid by cash or bank transfer. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no obligation to continue after the consultation. Everything you need to know is right here. If you want the full breakdown, you can also visit the pricing page directly.

    The Free 60-Minute Consultation — Always Free

    Before any paid sessions begin, every client starts with a free 60-minute consultation. This is a genuine, no-pressure conversation — not a sales call. We sit down together, in person at my Bear Creek office or over a secure video call, and talk through what has brought you here. I will ask about what you would like to change, what you have tried before, and what you are hoping for. You can ask every question you have about hypnotherapy, about how I work, and about the programme.

    The consultation exists so you can make an informed decision without any financial commitment. If hypnotherapy is not the right fit, or if now is not the right time, that is completely fine. There is no obligation to continue, and the consultation costs you nothing. I offer it free because I believe the first step should be about understanding and trust, not about money. If we both feel the programme is a good fit, we can talk about booking the six sessions — but that conversation happens after the consultation, never during it.

    03

    The Six-Session Programme — $995

    The six-session programme is $995, and it is the recommended path for most clients. Every service I offer is a structured six-session programme because meaningful change rarely happens in a single session. The patterns behind anxiety, smoking, sleep difficulties, or any other concern were built over time — and they need time to be gently reshaped. Six sessions give the work room to deepen, layer by layer, so the changes have a chance to settle and last.

    The programme includes six live, one-to-one sessions, each personalised to you and your goals. Sessions are available in person at my Bear Creek office or online across North Carolina — you can mix and match if your schedule changes. There is a personalised plan that evolves as the programme progresses, and between-session support to help you stay on track. There are no audio recordings; every session is a real, personal conversation between us. At $995 for six sessions, the programme works out at roughly $166 per session — a meaningful saving compared to booking sessions individually.

    04

    Individual Sessions — $199

    If you prefer to book sessions individually rather than committing to the full programme, individual sessions are $199 each. This option gives you flexibility, though I would gently note that most clients benefit from the structured progression of the six-session programme. A single session can be a good starting point, but the patterns behind most concerns are layered, and one session rarely gives the work enough room to create lasting change.

    Some clients begin with an individual session and then decide to move into the full programme. That is completely fine — there is no pressure to commit upfront. The important thing is that you feel comfortable with the pace and the process. Whether you choose the programme or individual sessions, every session is live, one-to-one, and personalised to you. Payment is by cash or bank transfer, and there are no hidden costs of any kind.

    05

    How Payment Works — Cash or Bank Transfer

    Sessions are paid by cash or bank transfer, stated plainly and warmly. There are no card machines, no online payment portals, no subscriptions. Payment is simple and direct, which is how I prefer to keep things. If you are coming in person, you can pay by cash at the session. If you prefer bank transfer, that can be arranged for any session, in person or online.

    Why There Are No Hidden Costs

    One of the concerns people sometimes have about therapy pricing is whether the advertised cost is the real cost — or whether there will be extra charges for materials, assessments, or add-ons down the line. I want to be clear: the price you see is the price you pay. The six-session programme is $995. Individual sessions are $199. The consultation is free. There are no workbooks to purchase, no supplementary materials, no tiered packages designed to upsell you.

    This simplicity is intentional. I want the focus of our work together to be on the change you are seeking, not on money. When you call for your free consultation, there is no pressure to book. When you decide to go ahead, you know exactly what it costs and how to pay. If you ever have a question about pricing, you can ask it at any point — I will always answer directly and honestly.

    07

    Why a Six-Session Programme Instead of a Single Session

    You might wonder why the programme is six sessions rather than one. The honest answer is that the patterns behind most concerns — whether that is anxiety, smoking, sleep, stress, or something else — were not formed overnight. They are layered, built up over months or years, and they sit at a level beneath conscious thought. A single session can begin the work, but it rarely gives enough time for the new pattern to take root and stabilise.

    Six sessions allow the work to unfold gradually. The first session builds foundations and a sense of safety. Subsequent sessions explore the patterns behind what you want to change, strengthen new responses, and consolidate the changes so they last beyond the programme. This structure is not about stretching things out — it is about giving the process the room it needs to create change that endures. If you want to understand the full journey, my anxiety hypnotherapy page and stop smoking page each describe the six-session structure in detail for their specific focus.

    In-Person vs Online — Same Price, Same Quality

    Whether you choose in-person sessions at my Bear Creek office or online sessions from wherever you are, the price is the same. There is no premium for in-person and no discount for online — both are equally valued, and both offer the same quality of experience. The relaxed, focused state used in hypnotherapy is just as accessible over a secure video call as it is in the room, and many clients find online sessions just as effective and more convenient.

    Clients come to me from across North Carolina — from Goldston and Siler City nearby, but also from Pittsboro, Asheboro, and Chapel Hill. Online sessions make the programme accessible wherever you are, and you can mix in-person and online sessions if your schedule changes. The flexibility is there to fit the programme around your life, not the other way around.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnotherapy Costs

    Is the consultation really free? Yes, completely. The 60-minute consultation is always free, with no obligation to continue. It is a genuine conversation to help you decide whether the programme is right for you, not a sales pitch.

    Can I pay per session instead of booking the full programme? Yes. Individual sessions are $199 each. However, most clients benefit from the structured progression of the six-session programme at $995, which works out at roughly $166 per session.

    Do you accept card payments? Not at the moment. Sessions are paid by cash or bank transfer, which keeps things simple and direct. If you have any questions about payment, feel free to ask during your free consultation.

    Is hypnotherapy covered by insurance? That depends on your provider and policy. I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a receipt if you would like to claim. I recommend checking with your insurer first to understand what they cover.

    What happens if I need to cancel a session? Life happens, and I understand that. I ask for reasonable notice if you need to reschedule, and we will simply find another time that works. There are no punitive cancellation fees — just a respectful, practical approach.

    Why is the programme $995 — is that typical? The six-session programme at $995 reflects the depth and personalisation of the work. Each session is live, one-to-one, and tailored to you. At roughly $166 per session within the programme, it represents a meaningful saving compared to individual sessions at $199. You can read the full breakdown on the pricing page.
