A Closer Look at My Hypnotherapy Practice: 7 Questions and Answers

For the eleventh consecutive year, Kemila Zsange Hypnotherapy & Counselling has been recognised as one of Vancouver’s Top Three Choices for hypnotherapy practices by ThreeBestRated.

This year’s recognition came with an invitation to answer seven questions about my practice. I welcomed the opportunity to share more about how I approach hypnotherapy, adapt sessions to individual clients, work with emotional responses, and create a safe and supportive environment.

In these seven questions and answers, I go beyond describing the services I offer. I share the thinking, experience, and philosophy behind my work as a Registered Clinical Counselling-Hypnotherapist (RCCH), practising in Vancouver since 2009.

Whether you’re considering hypnotherapy for the first time, curious about what happens during a session, or simply interested in understanding my approach, I invite you to have a read.

Why Self-Awareness Doesn’t Always Lead to Change?

Why can we understand something deeply, yet continue living as if we don’t? In this video filmed in Victoria, Australia, I explore why insight alone doesn’t always create lasting change—and how genuine transformation emerges beyond the thinking mind.

Hypnotist – Master of Language 0

Hypnotist – Master of Language

What if not being a native English speaker turned out to be an advantage for a hypnotist?

For me, language is not simply a way of communicating. It is something to listen to, play with, and sometimes take very literally. Words can carry multiple meanings, create unexpected associations, and open doors into the unconscious mind.

From “What brought you here?” — “My feet did.” — to turning “overwhelmed” into “well-whelmed,” and using the words transfer, trance, transform, and transparent during an IVF journey, this is a glimpse into how I use language in my work.

Perhaps the obstacle was never my English.

Perhaps it was the opportunity.

What Happens When the Structure Falls Away

When familiar structures fall away, what’s revealed isn’t chaos—it’s coherence without buffering. A reflection on identity, dehypnosis, and naming what was already true.

The Inner World of an Artist on Canvas

It was a rainy early summer day — the perfect weather for wandering through museums and art galleries while traveling. My choice that day was the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille.
As usual, I didn’t bother with museum maps, brochures or audio guides. In a building like this, I prefer to meander and let my feet decide. And so, moving from one hall to another, I suddenly stopped. In the corner of an adjacent room, my eyes caught a whimsical painting.

Reflections in the Mirror of AI: How My ChatGPT Became a Consciousness Companion

A new client came to me today. Let’s call him Gary. He spoke of the failure patterns in his personal and professional life—a long chain of disappointments, and the looming fear of more to come.
I asked him, “Why now? Why is this the right time to come to therapy, especially hypnotherapy?”
Gary admitted he hadn’t even considered therapy for those patterns and fears. But a recent conversation with a trusted friend—about how he couldn’t recall happy memories from childhood or teenage years—prompted his friend to suggest “hypnosis regression therapy.”
Gary trusts this friend deeply. “So,” he said, “I asked my secretary, ChatGPT, for suggestions. Your name came up as the number one recommendation.”

Do I Tell A Client What to Do

In a typical therapy or counselling session, we as practitioners listen, and reflect. In so doing, we help our clients draw out their inner wisdom, so they find answers, solutions or resolutions on their own.

A therapist/counsellor is not there to tell a client what to do, as we cannot decide for anyone else. With that said, throughout my years of practice, I find we don’t need to rigidise anything that we think is “good” or helpful. Besides the lines of “Tell me more about it”, and “how does that make you feel” to reflect back a client’s own inner resources, there are also places for our flexibility, relatability and intuition.

Deep Dive with Me

Turning 55 is a miracle of sorts for me, if you understand when I was 17, I was so, so, so afraid of getting old (18-years-old would be too old for me back then.). And when I was 20, I thought by the time the new millennium came, with its Y-2k issue, that it would not be my problem because I would probably be fine to be dead since I’d be so old (the ripe old age of 31) by then.

Turn Thoughts to Thinking

“Turn thoughts to thinking.” When this idea first came to me on one of those morning walks, it lit a light bulb in my head. Everything became crystal clear, including many ways I could use it to illustrate and explain how the mind works, or not.
