Despite the increasing popularity of hypnotherapy online.  People still ask if online hypnotherapy is as effective as in-person face-to-face hypnotherapy.  Having worked with clients who’ve had both the traditional in-person face-to-face and also those who’ve then experienced online.  The answer to the question, is a resounding yes !  Having hypnotherapy online has worked just as well online, if not better. 

 What my clients say about their experience of having had hypnotherapy online

“There’s very little difference.   I started with face to face, then with the pandemic we moved to online.  It was more convenient for sure.”

“It’s made it more accessible for me.  Especially in lock down when I was so desperate for some help with pain management after an operatio.  With my limited mobility it was a god send.”

“I was unable to get to my face-to- face appointment, so we rescheduled for zoom, which was brilliant.” 

“As a busy mum with only one day off in the week, it’s been great because I’ve been able to sit in on the session. Then get back on with my day with minimal interruption which is fab. ” 

“I suffer with social anxiety and have mobility issues, so online was a perfect match for me.”

How does having hypnotherapy online sessions differ?

Generally speaking, they don’t.  A similar format is followed, however all sessions are individually tailored.

How does hypnotherapy online work?

The initial session(s) consist of the conversational stuff, information gathering.  I predominantly use NLP tools for this.  We look at past, present and future.  Through conversation, we have the potential to reframe your personal history, by bringing unconscious to conscious awareness, this insight helps to dissipate old behaviours.  We uninstall old thoughts, feelings and beliefs that no longer serve you. Uncover unconscious payoffs.  Install and strengthen new thoughts, feelings and beliefs at an unconscious level.  We embed strategies that you can use moving forward to generate new behaviours which achieve your desired outcomes.
