Do you recognize this?
- You know you are not happy in your current job. You actually want to do something different. You should be applying for something else, but something is holding you back from doing this.
- You want to experience more energy in your daily life: you know that you should go to bed earlier, or you should exercise more, but you just can’t seem to manage it.
- You have a bad habit such as nail biting or smoking, you know you shouldn’t be doing this but you just can’t seem to stop it.
- You notice that in certain situations you react more emotionally than you would like.
- You experience fear or even panic while you know that the fear is no longer real.
- You experience (physical) pain on a daily basis while there is no medical cause for it.
- You’ve talked a lot about your problem and understand what you should do differently but your feelings keep getting in the way.
It seems like something is blocking you from following your true passion. After years of therapy, do you have a clear insight into behavior that you should change, but every time something seems to block you from actually doing that? Do negative emotions get in the way or do you simply not have the energy to get moving?
Here hypnosis may be the missing key for you. Where hypnosis can go further than traditional therapy is making direct contact with your emotions. When we look for the cause of a problem through our emotions, we often get there faster because sometimes the emotions tell a story that your analytical mind can’t easily get to.
I am trained as a hypnotherapist and mainly use hypnotherapy as a tool to help you realize the desired change in your life. With hypnotherapy we have direct access to your subconscious: This is the place of your mind where your emotions are and all your memories are stored. This is also the part of your mind where your habits and beliefs are.
Our choices are mainly driven by our emotions and our beliefs. Past emotions that have not been properly processed can affect how you respond to emotional triggers in everyday life. Many of our beliefs originated in childhood but may no longer fit in with today’s life. A hypnotherapy process is a process of self-discovery, emotional processing and empowerment. In hypnosis you can process emotions from the past and convert limiting beliefs into helpful beliefs. By diving into the subconscious and connecting with the emotions that run the show of your life behind the scenes, it is possible to take control again. No longer do your emotions blindly determine your behavior. From an adult consciousness you look at the patterns that have arisen from your childhood and you make new choices that fit your adult life.
My approach is a client centered approach. I like to take the time to get to know you and adapt the session(s) to your needs. Below I would like to tell you more about my method.
Process
This is a client-centered approach that starts with what I call a foundation session. You could compare it to an intake session but I want you to understand that this goes much further than that. I explain here what you can expect from a foundation session and what you will take away from this right away.
Working out your goals
When you have an emotional problem, your brain is usually conditioned to think about this a lot. This strengthens the brain connections that you actually want to break. Therefore, during the foundation session, we will go into the “problem” relatively briefly but will mainly zoom in on what needs to change for your so you know you won’t have this problem anymore. In other words, we will invest time to identify your objective. We will also take time to figure out what benefits this desired change will bring to you. Motivation is an important aspect of a successful hypnosis course. Ideally, after formulating these goals, you feel a unanimous YES within yourself that you want this!
Explanation of hypnosis:
Essential to a successful hypnosis course is good cooperation. Going into hypnosis is easy. Every person goes into hypnosis daily during normal activities. Being put into hypnosis by someone else only works if you want to and if you follow the instructions properly. There are many misconceptions in society about what hypnosis is, and this causes us to have unconscious fears about hypnosis. For example, the fear that you will lose control. In essence, the opposite is true: in hypnosis, you often have more control. However, fears hinder being easily hypnotized by another person. For that reason, it is essential to make sure you have a good understanding of what hypnosis really is and how it works. This is also related to good cooperation. To enter hypnosis, you follow my instructions. You allow yourself to let your emotional self come to the forefront where you temporarily surrender analytical thinking to me. This does not mean that your analytical mind is gone. It simply means that it temporarily does not intervene so you can easily listen to what your feelings are telling you. 80% of the success of a good hypnosis course is determined by this. Hence the name foundation session. We lay the foundation for success.
Your first session
An appointment is not complete without also actually experiencing hypnosis. The first hypnosis session is all about relaxation. Through relaxation hypnosis, I teach you self-hypnosis. This serves two purposes: first, you take something directly from the session with incredible value. With self-hypnosis, you install a mental trigger, so to speak, with which you can easily bring yourself into deep relaxation. This is beneficial for your body and mind and easier than meditating. The second purpose behind this is to condition your mind to go deeper and deeper into hypnosis with increasing ease. Indeed, to use hypnosis efficiently in solving an emotional problem, it is important to achieve sufficient depth in hypnosis. By nature, some people go deep into hypnosis more easily and quickly than others. But anyone can learn it, and self-hypnosis helps tremendously in this regard. Do you want to know more about the benefits of self-hypnosis? Then read on here .
Closing
After the session, we discuss how it went. This is time when we can decide together whether or not to schedule a follow-up session.
Number of sessions
Hypotherapy is an effective form of therapy where you generally notice results quickly. For each objective, you can consider 2 to 4 sessions. This may be more or less in some cases depending on the complexity of a problem/objective.
In my practice I work on a session by session basis. This means that after each session we look together at what the best next step is. With the exception of the firstand second sessions, in most cases it is good to allow several weeks to pass here to give the subconscious mind a chance to integrate the changes. I am not a regular weekly therapy provider, but rather a specialist available at specific times to provide targeted support. Be aware of this when planning sessions.
Are you ready to make a positive change in your life?
If you first want to gain more experience with hypnosis itself before working toward a therapeutic goal, it is also possible to schedule an appointment directly for a self-hypnosis session.
Expectations:
I strongly believe in open and transparent communication with my clients. It is important to know that hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that requires you to show a certain degree of independence and commitment. While I will clearly explain to you what I expect from you during the sessions and what you can expect from me, it is essential that you understand that actual change does not happen by itself. Your motivation and commitment are vital to the success of treatment. Only limited support is available between sessions, as hypnotherapy is not a form of therapy with much support in between. We will actively work together especially during the sessions to achieve your goals. Sometimes it is even possible to get started on your objective right away if that is appropriate.

Client experiences
Ayla helped me in a single hypnosis session to remove the causes of my behavior that was inexplicable to me. During the entire session I felt in trusted and very capable hands and received all the attention that was needed. What came out was a surprise that was ultimately easy to explain. With that, it was finished.
The next trade was a whole new different experience. I could look at it with peace and pleasure, even if it was not the best trade. But now I can finally start working on my technique without getting in the way of myself.
As an extra, this not only has positive consequences for my day-trading, but for my entire experience. There is a lot of peace in me now and a weight that I didn’t know was there has fallen off my shoulders. I now live my life with even more intention and pleasure. Ayla’s treatment is of great value to me and highly recommended.
It is my mission to put you back into your own power in a playful and relaxed way.

Important
It is important to understand that hypnotherapy is not appropriate for severe mental illnesses, such as psychosis or schizophrenia. In such cases, I recommend that you contact an appropriate professional, such as a psychiatrist. Hypnotherapy can also be considered for severe addictions, but always with consent and in collaboration with a physician or psychologist.
