Six things you need to know about Hypnotherapy online

 

When you find yourself needing to stay home or simply don't have the time to travel, the great news is that hypnotherapy can now be provided online. It's convenient, easy to access, and just as effective as meeting in person.

 

I'm often asked if online hypnotherapy is as effective as in-person sessions, and my answer is a resounding yes! Recent research has shown that online therapy is just as effective.

 

Here are the top six questions I get about online hypnotherapy that you might find helpful if you're seeking support but can't make it to the clinic:

 

1. What exactly is online hypnotherapy?
Online hypnotherapy is a safe and convenient alternative to in-person sessions. It's just as effective as meeting in the clinic and follows the same structured approach. It's a great option if you're short on time, live far away, have family commitments, or medical conditions that make it difficult to visit in person.

 

2. Is online hypnotherapy as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes, online hypnotherapy is just as effective. Some people even feel more relaxed and comfortable working from their own home or office, which can enhance the positive outcome of our sessions. Recent research supports this, with one study showing that online therapy can lead to better progress and be more effective than face-to-face therapy.

 

3. Can hypnosis be done online?

Hypnosis doesn't require a therapist to be physically present. We all go in and out of a hypnotic state, also known as trance, several times a day, often when we're focused on a task. Have you ever been watching a good film or reading a book and completely lost track of time? Trance is a natural and safe state where you remain in control and can easily achieve as long as you can hear the guided relaxation.

 

4. How does hypnotherapy work on Zoom?

You just need a reliable internet connection and a quiet, comfortable place to relax. I'll send you a unique link for each session, which is safe and secure, and only you will have access to it. Zoom is similar to Skype - just click your link and follow the instructions to join your session. You can use your laptop, tablet, or phone to join.

We'll spend the first half of the session talking and exploring positive things that have happened, focusing on solutions and promoting new ideas to identify a way forward. Then, you'll relax, and I'll ask you to get comfortable so I can see your face. I'll guide you into a state of focused attention where your mind is more responsive to suggestions. The session ends with a quick chat about your progress, and we can book your next session.

 

5. How can I be sure that online hypnotherapy will work for me?

Online hypnotherapy is just as effective as in-person sessions, so there's no need to worry about that. The key is to find the right therapist for you - someone you feel comfortable with, trust, and actually like. That's why I offer a free initial consultation call, so we can chat.

If you're ready to make a change and are committed to making it happen, online hypnotherapy can help you reach your goals. Let's work together to get you where you want to be.
