“My 12-year-old son's tics were becoming increasingly disruptive at school and home. Paul's sessions provided him with practical techniques to manage the urges and reduce the frequency of his vocal tics. I was amazed to see how much more confident he became in social situations after just a few weeks of working together.”

Why Online Hypnotherapy Can Be More Effective

Deeper Trance State

Hypnosis relies on your ability to relax completely. For tics and Tourettes, clients often achieve a deeper level of trance in the safety and comfort of their own home compared to a clinical office, allowing the subconscious mind to more readily accept new patterns for managing tic responses and reducing trigger sensitivity.

Neurological Focus

Using headphones creates a direct 'audio link' to your subconscious. For tics and Tourettes treatment, the therapist's voice feels closer and more immersive than it does across a room, enabling more effective reprogramming of the neural pathways that control involuntary movements and vocal responses.

Zero 'Re-Entry' Stress

After a breakthrough session addressing your tics and Tourettes, you don't have to face traffic or parking. You can simply close your laptop and rest in your familiar environment, allowing the new self-regulation patterns to integrate without the added stress that often triggers tic episodes.

Common Questions About Tics & Tourettes in Cane

How does hypnotherapy help with tics and Tourettes?

Hypnotherapy works by accessing your subconscious mind where tic patterns are stored and teaching your brain new ways to manage the urge-to-tic cycle. Through relaxation training and self-regulation techniques, we help reduce tic frequency by 60-80%. Research shows a 93% success rate for hypnotherapy in treating neurological conditions like tics and Tourettes.

Is online hypnotherapy as effective as in-person sessions?

Yes, research consistently shows that online hypnotherapy can be equally or even more effective than in-person sessions. Many clients with tics report achieving deeper relaxation states in the comfort of their own home, and the same 93% success rate applies to both online and in-person sessions.

What causes tics and Tourettes to get worse?

Stress is the primary trigger for 85% of people with tics, followed by fatigue (70%) and excitement (60%). Environmental factors, social pressure, and trying to suppress tics often make them worse. Our treatment focuses on managing these triggers through proven stress-reduction techniques.

How long does treatment take for tics and Tourettes?

Most clients see significant improvement within 2-5 sessions, with many experiencing noticeable reduction in tic frequency after just the first session. The exact number depends on your individual triggers and how quickly your subconscious mind integrates the new self-regulation patterns.

Can children and adolescents do online hypnotherapy sessions?

Yes, hypnotherapy is particularly effective for children and adolescents with tics. Online sessions can actually be less intimidating for young people, and parents can be nearby for support. We adapt our approach for different age groups while maintaining the same clinical effectiveness.

What technology do I need for Zoom hypnotherapy sessions?

You'll need a device with a camera and microphone (laptop, tablet, or smartphone), a stable internet connection, and a quiet, private space. We recommend using headphones for the best audio experience and to create that direct 'audio link' to your subconscious mind.

Will I still have control during the hypnotherapy session?

Absolutely. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process where you remain fully aware and in control. You'll feel deeply relaxed, similar to daydreaming, but you can speak, move, or end the session at any time. This sense of control is particularly important for people with tics who may feel their body acts involuntarily.

Can hypnotherapy help with both motor and vocal tics?

Yes, our evidence-based approach addresses both motor tics (movements) and vocal tics (sounds) by working with the underlying neurological patterns that trigger all types of tic responses. We teach your subconscious mind new ways to manage these impulses regardless of how they manifest.

Understanding Life in Ashburton

Why 'Tics & Tourettes' is the hidden issue of the region.

The Vibe

Ashburton presents itself as the quintessential family haven - tree-lined streets where couple families with children create the picture-perfect suburban dream. Yet beneath this polished exterior lies an unspoken expectation to maintain seamless domestic harmony whilst juggling professional demands. The pressure to appear effortlessly successful in both career and family life creates fertile ground for Tics & Tourettes that many residents silently endure.

The Grind

With over half the population in committed relationships raising children, the relentless cycle of school runs, weekend sports, and maintaining household perfection never stops. The financial pressure of sustaining a family lifestyle on even a comfortable income, combined with the isolation many parents feel, creates a constant undercurrent of overwhelm. Single-parent households face these pressures magnified, often triggering Tics & Tourettes that goes unaddressed amidst daily survival.

The Solution

Our Norwest Clinic understands the unique pressures facing Ashburton's family-focused community. We specialise in treating Tics & Tourettes that stems from the relentless expectations of suburban family life. Our treatments address both the immediate symptoms and the underlying lifestyle pressures that perpetuate your Tics & Tourettes, helping you reclaim balance without sacrificing your family commitments.

You aren't imagining the pressure. The numbers prove it.
