FAQ
Answers to the most important questions about mental training & hypnosis
Why do I need mental training?
Mental training has been successfully used in sports to improve performance for decades. When your legs ache after a long fight, when an opponent forces you to push yourself to the limit, when poor conditions on competition day weaken your concentration – all of these are factors in which mental strength is essential. Because giving up always happens in your head. Mental training helps you overcome your personal limits, resolve conflicts, or simply restore your inner harmony.
This doesn't mean that you can't achieve your goal without a coach, but it will definitely be easier and faster.
Does mental training only help in sports?
No! Mental training can be used anywhere performance is required. At work, in music, in education, or simply in everyday life. About 50% of my clients are athletes, the rest come from a wide variety of backgrounds.
At what age can I start mental training?
Mental training is generally possible from the age of 6. During the initial consultation, we will decide together whether mental training is appropriate or not.
Where do we train?
I conduct most of my coaching sessions in my office in Basel at Leimenstrasse 74. But you decide where we conduct our coaching. We can also go for a walk, sit down somewhere, or conduct coaching in a sporting setting. Even accompanying you to a competition is possible. Are you not from here? No problem, we can also conduct our coaching sessions online via Zoom.
Why mental training Basel?
In my daily work with my clients, I combine the knowledge I gained from my psychology studies with innovative and modern methods from mental training. I am therefore available to you as an expert in both the psychological and mental areas. My psychology degree from the University of Basel and my further training as a sports psychologist further differentiate me from a traditional mental trainer, allowing me to assess and treat your concerns more comprehensively.
My mental training is flexibly tailored to your needs. I'll provide you with a plan in advance outlining how our collaboration will develop and what to expect – so you're always actively involved!
I structure my sessions with variety so that we always provide new input and avoid boredom. Whether working on a flipchart, working with exercise sheets, engaging in active exercise, or engaging in a sporty environment—it's all there!
How often do I attend mental training?
To address a topic comprehensively, we need about 4-6 sessions. After that, you decide whether you want long-term support or whether you want to continue your mental training on your own. We'll meet every 2-3 weeks initially, and every 4-8 weeks over the longer term.
Am I completely lost during hypnosis?
No, absolutely not. During hypnosis, you are very actively involved in what's happening. You hear everything around you, you can move, and we even talk. After the session, you'll remember everything you experienced and everything we discussed. Unfortunately, what you may have seen on TV is usually just plain wrong and gives a false impression of hypnosis.
