Why Every Hypnosis Journey Should Start with a Foundation Session
By Troy Robins, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist | OxfordHypnotherapyClinic.co.uk
If you want real change — fast, effective, and lasting — your hypnosis journey must begin on solid ground. That’s why I offer something most practitioners skip: a Foundation Session.
It’s not just an introduction. It’s the engine that makes the rest of your sessions powerful. Let me explain why it matters so much. Hypnosis is Rapid Learning — But Only if It’s Deep Enough To create change in the subconscious mind, you need to reach a deep enough state of hypnosis — where the critical faculty of the mind is temporarily set aside, and new ideas can be accepted and internalized. |
This doesn’t happen by chance. And it rarely happens in the first session unless someone shows you how.
Unfortunately, some hypnotherapists rely on a trial-and-error model, where clients gradually learn how to enter hypnosis over multiple sessions — all while the clock (and invoice) keeps ticking.
By session five, the real work might begin. But I believe that’s backwards.
Why I Built the Foundation Session
The Foundation Session is my alternative to trial and error. It’s a single, structured session designed to do three things:
Expect Results, Not Guesswork
This is not a never-ending process. I’ve never seen a client for 20 sessions — in fact, I rarely need more than five.
The reason is simple: once you’ve had the right foundation, you’re ready.
You understand the mechanism.
You know how to access deep states.
And most importantly — your subconscious mind is open to change.
That’s where real transformation begins.
We Bust the Myths Before We Begin
There’s a lot of fear and misunderstanding around hypnosis — especially in the UK. People often confuse it with mind control or stage tricks. Some are sceptical. Others are nervous.
That’s why part of your Foundation Session is dedicated to education.
I’ll show you the science behind the process, explain how the critical mind works, and demonstrate how new thoughts and suggestions reach the subconscious. When you see it clearly, fear disappears — and positive expectancy takes its place.
That expectancy is powerful. When you believe change is possible, you’re already halfway there.
Hypnosis Isn’t Meant to Take Forever
In traditional models, hypnosis might be offered as a 20-session course. But that’s not what I do.
I believe in working intensely, efficiently, and effectively. The Foundation Session is how I make sure your very first paid session sets the tone — not with filler or guesswork, but with clarity and purpose.
It’s the fastest way to create meaningful, lasting results. Not just for anxiety or smoking or sleep — but for any subconscious issue.
Here’s What You’ll Leave With
By the end of your Foundation Session, you’ll have:
You’ll also know exactly what’s coming next — and why.
Final Thought: Choose Fast, Ethical, Effective Change
I’ve met many counsellors who say, “I used to practice hypnosis, but I couldn’t make a living.” Often, it’s because they used the old, slow model. One that keeps clients coming back without real progress.
That’s not my philosophy.
Hypnosis, when done right, is fast. And your time matters. You deserve a system designed to get results — not just repeat appointments.
So if you’re ready to make real change, don’t skip the first, most important step.

Why I Built the Foundation Session
The Foundation Session is my alternative to trial and error. It’s a single, structured session designed to do three things:
- Identify your goal — what you want to change, fix, or improve
- Demystify hypnosis — explain how it really works, without the myths
- Train you to enter deep hypnosis — so your mind is fully prepared to change

- The ability to reach a deep state of hypnosis
- A plan tailored to your specific goal
- A sense of control, calm, and real possibility
