Begin with a conversation
On a free 20-minute call, we discuss your situation, the changes you want, and your questions about hypnosis. If we decide to work together, we agree on the scope, pace, and fee.
Work & performance
You know the result you want. Something gets in the way when it matters.
Work with emotional and bodily responses that interfere with difficult conversations, important decisions, leadership, and progress in your career or business.
You can begin with a situation in which you want to respond differently. On the discovery call, we can explore where to start.
Free 20-minute discovery callSpeaking to someone with authority
“I know what I want to say. Then my voice tightens, tears appear, and I cannot finish.”
We focus on the response that interrupts the conversation: when it starts, what you anticipate, and what you want to be able to say. We also consider the actual relationship and whether the situation calls for a practical change.
Changing jobs
“I outgrew this role a long time ago. Every month, I find another reason to stay.”
We look at what is holding you back: a real risk, an unclear plan, fear of losing stability, or having to prove yourself again.
Speaking up for yourself
“I can do the work. Asking for more money or putting myself forward feels almost impossible.”
When self-presentation feels like bragging or risking exposure, your abilities can remain invisible. We work with that reaction and prepare a specific conversation.
Interviews and public speaking
“I know my subject until I am sitting in front of someone whose opinion matters.”
We can focus on a particular event: what you expect, where you lose your footing, and how your body responds. Then we rehearse the situation with steadier attention.
Feeling less confident in English
“In Russian, I am a competent adult. In English, I feel smaller.”
We can work in both languages, separating a language gap from fear of mistakes, an accent, or being judged. This work addresses confidence in communication; it does not replace language practice.
Avoiding an important project
“I know exactly what I need to do. I do almost anything else.”
Procrastination can be a way of avoiding judgment, overload, or an internal conflict. We look at the task, what happens just before you begin, and where progress stops.
Returning to your profession
“I have the experience. After time away, it feels as though my place is gone.”
A move, parenting, or a long break can unsettle professional confidence. We separate the practical requirements of returning from the feelings that make it hard to begin.
A step that affects your income
“The opportunity is there. The higher the stakes, the more I want to hide.”
Raising a fee, launching a project, negotiating, or taking on responsibility can bring up fear of rejection and questions of self-worth. We identify a concrete step and prepare for it.
Why the pattern persists
Productivity advice has limited value when the task itself brings up fear, shame, or internal resistance. At the same time, a missing skill or an unrealistic workload needs a practical response. We start by finding out what is actually getting in your way.
Where hypnosis may fit →What we can work toward
- Move from endless preparation to a specific action.
- Handle judgment, rejection, and self-presentation with more steadiness.
- Prepare for an important conversation, interview, or presentation.
- Separate practical constraints from a familiar expectation of failure.
These are possible goals. We agree on your task and signs of progress individually.
How we work
Work with the response
We identify the specific reaction and use hypnosis to work with the feelings, sensations, and underlying emotional pattern connected to it.
Notice what changes
We look at what is changing in your experience and everyday life. We return to your goals and adjust the direction of the work when needed.
Sebastian Kristof
An analytical approach. A specific focus.
I combine medical training, behavioral science, software and systems thinking, and advanced hypnosis training. My style is analytical and focused on what keeps a particular reaction in place.
I do not push advice or offer motivational cheerleading. I help you use your own knowledge and resources, without requiring you to explain more than is necessary for the work.
Education: M.D.; psychiatry training. Research: Yale · UC San Diego. Clinical research: WCG. Certified hypnotherapist.

Formats & pricing →Questions you may have
Is this career coaching?
The main focus is on emotional reactions and internal conflicts that interfere with action. Practical analysis is part of the work; job placement and professional training are not.
Can we prepare for a specific date?
Yes. Tell me what is coming up and when. We will discuss whether a focused session is suitable for a specific reaction ahead of that event.
Do you guarantee higher income?
No. Income depends on the market, skills, decisions, and circumstances. We can work on how you make decisions and act in situations that matter to you.
