Sessions take place via video call, in a private and comfortable setting, while maintaining a personalised approach throughout the therapeutic process.
I help adults understand and transform long-standing emotional patterns that continue to influence their lives.
Hypnotherapy is at the heart of my work, allowing us to go beyond rational understanding and support deeper, more lasting change.
I work with adults who feel that certain patterns continue to interfere with the way they live, work, rest or relate to others.
Some of the issues we can work on include:
You don’t need to arrive at your first session already knowing exactly where your feelings come from.
That understanding develops gradually throughout the therapeutic process..
Sessions take place via video call, in a private setting where you can feel comfortable throughout the 90 minutes.
We begin by talking about what is most present for you and, in follow-up sessions, about what has happened since our last meeting.
From there, depending on where you are in the therapeutic process, we may work with:
– Hypnotherapy
– Nervous system regulation
– Body awareness
– Guided imagery
– Exploration of automatic emotional patterns
– Integration of new responses into everyday life
And it is not simply a conversation over a video call.
Hypnotherapy uses states of focused attention that can facilitate working with emotions, associations, inner experiences and responses that do not always change simply because we understand them rationally.
There is no need to search for memories or relive difficult experiences.
The work follows what is relevant to you and to your current stage in the therapeutic process.
I had online hypnotherapy sessions with Nicole Farinha, and it was a deeply transformative experience. She helped me enormously, and it was with her that I began my healing journey.
Her safe, empathetic and compassionate approach allowed me to look within myself with honesty and without judgement.
With Nicole’s guidance, I gradually began to remove the armour I had been carrying for so long, without being afraid — afraid of feeling, of facing my emotions and of getting to know myself better.
Nicole created a space of trust where I felt seen, understood and supported.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a journey of self-discovery, emotional healing and inner transformation.
We begin with a free 30-minute introductory online call.
This is an opportunity to briefly discuss what brings you to hypnotherapy, explain how I work and answer any questions you may have.
If we decide to move forward, the first session is dedicated to an in-depth initial assessment.
Hypnosis is not performed during this first session.
I first want to understand your personal history, your current circumstances, the patterns that keep recurring and what you would like to change.
From there, the therapeutic process is tailored to you as an individual.
Online sessions can be a practical choice, but for some people, they are also the most comfortable way to receive therapeutic support.
Online hypnotherapy may be particularly suitable if you:
For those who travel or live between different places, online sessions also make it possible to maintain continuity throughout the therapeutic process.
Yes, hypnotherapy can be carried out online.
Many of the techniques used in hypnotherapy, including focused attention, imagery, body awareness and suggestion, can be explored through video calls.
Each person’s response to the process varies and depends on several factors, including what is being addressed, the therapeutic relationship, the person’s engagement and the conditions in which the session takes place.
No.
You remain conscious and able to speak, move or stop the process.
Hypnosis does not involve surrendering control to the therapist.
No.
The process is explained and guided throughout the session. You do not need to know how to “enter hypnosis” or have experienced anything similar before.
90 minutes.
To help you remain fully present throughout the 90-minute session, it is important to prepare a private, comfortable space where you will not be interrupted.
Ideally:
Headphones help reduce external distractions and allow you to focus on my voice during the session.
It is also important that your body remains comfortable and supported, without requiring effort or constant adjustments.
Put your phone on silent, close the door, let others know you should not be disturbed and, whenever possible, take care of anything that might require your attention before we begin.
You do not need to lie completely flat, but your entire body should be reclined and supported.
A sofa or mattress usually works well.
The important thing is to remain comfortable without having to support your body or constantly adjust your position.
In many cases, yes.
Online sessions make it possible to support people in different locations. Where relevant, there may be specific professional restrictions related to the country you are in, which will be considered before we begin working together.
Sessions are available in Portuguese and English, for clients in Portugal and other countries.
Being able to engage in a therapeutic process in the language you feel most comfortable with can be particularly important when discussing personal and emotional experiences.
Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the appointment, as well as missed sessions, are considered completed sessions.
