If you wish to hire me in my capacity as a Hypnotist (Therapy):
Then please read and action all of the points below.
- All sessions are via Skype and will be recorded. Your privacy is assured and your case is not discussed with anyone other than possibly your doctor (see below) if required. The recordings are kept secure on a separate hard drive and are only accessed in the case that there is some accusation of any impropriety. This has never been necessary, but there is no reason a good Hypnotist should not record his sessions for the peace of mind of both himself as well as his clients.
- Make sure you have read the relevant situation you wish to consult with me for under the listings shown under Hypnotic Services, as this will generally list all the basic requirements you may need to take note of. Similarly, it is usually a good idea to go over the Frequently Asked Questions. I do try to keep my answers entertaining, but they do also answer the most common questions.
- You will need to print and complete this INTAKE FORM and email it to me. This is a legal requirement and you will not be able to have your session unless you provide this completed form.
- If any one or more of these is true:
-
- your condition has been medically diagnosed
- you are currently seeing a doctor for it
- you are currently taking medication for it or have done so in the recent past
-
then you will need to print, read, agree with, complete and email me this DISCLAIMER FORM
As well as this MEDICAL REFERRAL FORM which needs to be completed by your current doctor.
- While most hypnotists will never have a DISCLAIMER or MEDICAL REFERRAL form for their practice, much less ask you to fill one in, I prefer to work as much as possible in conjunction with medical professionals. Apart from this being a requirement of simple ethics, and a basic tenet of professional courtesy amongst health professionals it is also important from a safety point of view. Hypnosis can affect the efficacy of certain drugs as well as modify the course of treatment that a doctor might indicate. Similarly, by knowing of any previous or current treatment you may be undergoing I may take a different approach towards the type of hypnosis I may do with you or in certain cases decide whether I would even use hypnosis at all for your situation. It is therefore important you do not skip over these steps. Should your medical professional wish to contact me (which they sometimes do) they can do so by using my contact details on the relevant form or using the contact details on this website.
- Use the Contact Form to send me a brief e-mail describing your condition and your preferred session times as well as your Skype name. I try to accommodate my clients preferred visiting times as much as possible, but it is always best if you provide at least one or two alternatives as my days are pretty full. I will reply to you by e-mail (if you have a preferred contact time/method then please state it in your message) as soon as I can so that we can arrange a mutually suitable time for your session.
- Once we have agreed to a specific date and time, please be punctual. Do you hate going to health professionals or online at the correct time and then being made to wait? Me too. So I don’t do that. If we agree a time then I will be ready to receive you at that time. If for some odd and unusual reason I were ever to run late and make you wait to see me, any such time would not be billed to you and would naturally be for my own account. Similarly, if I have to wait on you (and thus possibly make my next client wait, at my and their expense) then you will be billed for this time at the standard rate of £75 per hour or part thereof. Some people will feel a little uncomfortable with my spelling this out in such direct terms. Such people, I would guess, are also often late. Consider my efficient view on this matter as an added bonus at helping you improve your time-keeping skills. It’s not a free bonus unless you learn or already posses the skill though. See how efficiently that works? You may already be learning new skills even before we meet. I know, I know, I’m a Great Hypnotist aren’t I?
- Fees for the first session are indicated on each type of service provided and afterwards are currently £75 per hour or part thereof, non-refundable, and payable in advance prior to the session (measured to the nearest half-hour). Should you need to reschedule please advise at least 3 hours in advance. I will always try to accommodate if I can, but it is not always possible.
If you wish to hire me in my capacity as a Hypnotist for Entertainment Purposes Only:
Please note that currently I reside in Italy and as such, unless your party is in continental Europe and you are willing to pay for all travel costs as well as my fees, (to be agreed depending on the exact requirements) it is unlikely I will be available. Please use the contact form to describe the specific case or situation you have in mind. Generally speaking for a successful Hypnosis show a certain minimum number of people have to be present and the location should generally be free of other distractions at least for the duration of the hypnosis performance. While I have done hypnosis for entertainment purposes at close friends’ parties before, this is not really the best way to go about it, especially if said friends are liable to have binge-drinking fuelled affairs. If however you have a few dozen people in a respectable state of at least partial sobriety and decorum and wish to amuse them and befuddle them by presenting them with:
The Amazing Hypnotic Skills of The Great Doctor Zarkov
Master of the Human Mind
Then get in touch and we will see if we can entertain your friends while we make them paying members of my world domination/personality cult.
If you wish to hire me in my capacity in something else I do:
As you will no doubt have gleaned from your perusal of these fine pages, I am a resourceful individual possessed of uncommon intelligence, charm and many fantastic skills in diverse and challenging fields. I am also not crippled by that most annoying of habits: False Modesty.
Should you wish to hire my services for other purposes, perhaps those found on the page entitles Other Stuff I Do.
