Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Applied Human Change?

Applied Human Change is a practical approach to personal change in which I teach and guide you through structured internal exercises designed around the pattern you want to change.

You remain awake and actively participate throughout the process.

I guide the process. You do the internal work.

Is this counselling or psychotherapy?

No.

Applied Human Change is an educational and experiential personal-development service.

I do not provide counselling, psychotherapy, psychological assessment, diagnosis, medical treatment, crisis intervention or mental-health treatment through Applied Human Change.

The live session is structured around instruction, guided exercises and active participation rather than counselling or talk therapy.

Will I have to spend the appointment telling you about my problems?

No.

That's one of the reasons the pre-session questionnaire is so important.

The relevant information I need to prepare your session is collected primarily before we meet.

I'll need you to communicate with me during the Human Change exercises because your responses help me guide the process, but the appointment isn't designed around extended discussion or recounting your history.

Less time talking about the pattern. More time actively working with it.

Is this meditation?

No.

Human Change is active and participatory.

Some exercises may involve attention, awareness, imagination or periods of quiet internal observation, but you aren't attending simply to listen to a meditation.

You'll be following instructions, participating in exercises, noticing your responses and communicating with me at relevant points throughout the session.

Is this hypnosis?

Applied Human Change isn't offered as a hypnotherapy session.

My professional education includes hypnotherapy and Ericksonian communication, alongside a broader range of approaches related to personal change.

Applied Human Change uses a broader framework in which exercises are selected and structured according to the particular pattern we're working with.

Will I lose control?

No.

You remain awake, aware and involved.

You can communicate with me throughout the session.

You can ask questions, stop an exercise or decline to participate in anything you don't want to do.

What will you ask me to do?

That depends upon your individual session.

You may be asked to focus your attention, notice aspects of your internal experience, use imagination, become aware of bodily responses, experiment with experiencing something differently, practise alternative responses, observe what changes or mentally rehearse future behaviour.

I don't use one predetermined sequence for every person.

Your session is designed around the pattern you want to work with.

Why do I need to complete a questionnaire?

Because I don't want to use most of your live appointment gathering information that can be provided beforehand.

Your questionnaire gives me the relevant information I need to understand what you want to work on and prepare your session.

It also gives you the opportunity to provide important background in writing before we meet.

Is my session individually designed?

Yes.

I personally review your completed questionnaire and prepare your Human Change session before your appointment.

This is a central part of the service.

Your session is not simply selected from a standard script when you arrive.

Do you guarantee results?

No.

People respond differently to personal-development work and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.

I can provide careful preparation, personalised session design, structured guidance and an environment for active participation.

Your individual experience and outcomes will vary.

How long is the appointment?

Your private online appointment is approximately 60 minutes.

Why is the fee US$250?

Because you're purchasing more than the approximately 60 minutes we spend together online.

Your US$250 fee includes your detailed intake, my individual review and preparation, personalised session design and your private online Human Change session.

The work therefore begins before your live appointment.

When do I pay?

The US$250 fee is paid in full when booking.

When is my questionnaire due?

Your completed questionnaire must be received at least 72 hours before your appointment.

If I don't receive it by the deadline, your appointment may need to be rescheduled because adequate preparation time is part of the personalised service.

Where are sessions held?

Sessions are conducted privately online.
