What Is Online Hypnotherapy?

Online hypnotherapy is a therapeutic process that we do over a secure video call (I usually use Zoom). It’s the same gentle, proven techniques that I use for an in-person hypnotherapy session.

Hypnotherapy is a natural therapy that uses hypnosis, which is a natural state we all regularly go in and out of. It’s just like when you are in a daydream, or like when you are deeply engrossed in a book or film. If you drive you may have had the experience that you arrive somewhere and don’t remember the journey, or you miss your exit on the motorway because you were in a kind of trance.

Hypnotherapy uses this natural state of calm, focused awareness to help you make the lasting changes that you want to make. Hypnotherapy is a completely safe and natural therapeutic process.

Can You Do Hypnotherapy Online Effectively?

The simple answer is yes; hypnotherapy online is just as effective as hypnotherapy in person. The processes are the same, or sometimes with a little adaption. There are many advantages too, such as not needing to travel, which can save you time and money.

With online therapy sessions, I provide you with the same professional service that my face-to-face clients receive. Many people find that online hypnotherapy sessions feel more comfortable and accessible than in-person ones. You might find that being in your own familiar environment helps you to feel more relaxed.

All you need is a good internet connection and a comfortable place you can sit without interruptions.

What Happens in an Online Hypnotherapy Session?

Your online hypnotherapy sessions will be very like in-person sessions. After a free initial telephone consultation, if you decide you want to go ahead with sessions, I will ask you to complete a detailed intake form/questionnaire before your first session so that I can really understand your issues and how you want to be instead.

In your first session we clarify your issues more deeply, and I tailor the process specifically for you. Then each subsequent session begins with finding out how things have been going for you and adapting the session accordingly.

I guide you through hypnotic processes that are safe and effective, just as I would in an in-person session. You always remain in control during a hypnosis session, and you can always choose how you respond to any given suggestion.

It’s impossible to get stuck in hypnosis, and if in the rare occasion that the internet connection drops while you are in hypnosis you will always easily bring yourself out of hypnosis naturally just as you would easily come out of a daydream.

I often combine hypnotherapy NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Matrix Reimprinting or Time Line Therapy® as needed to gently help shift unhelpful patterns and to help you have more empowering ones.

What Can Online Hypnotherapy Help With?

Online hypnotherapy (especially combined with the other therapies and techniques I use) can help with the same issues that face-to-face hypnotherapy sessions can. It can help with a wide range of emotional, psychological, and even physical issues. These include:

• Anxiety – Anxiety issues of any kind, e.g. panic attacks, OCD, generalised anxiety disorder
• Low confidence & self-esteem – Build a healthier self-image and inner strength, helping you build self-worth and feel more capable
• Depression – Helping you lift depression naturally with lasting relief
• Fears & phobias – Gently reducing and resloving specific fears or phobias like public speaking, flying, spiders.
• Weight management – Shift emotional eating patterns, helping you have a healthier relationship with food and your body, and to have natural, healthy and sustainable weight loss
• Stop Smoking/Vaping – Create lasting change in habits that no longer serve you, with hypnotherapy to stop smoking or vaping
• Trauma & emotional healing – Overcoming the effects of past events and experiences, including trauma and PTSD, gently and effectively, allowing you to find inner peace
• Relationship issues – Develop healthy boundaries, self-worth, and more fulfilling connections with others
• Procrastination & low motivation – Reconnect with purpose and momentum, and achieve fulfilling goals
• Sleep issues – Calm your mind and overcome sleep problems and insomnia to restore restful sleep, helping you wake up refreshed
• Addictions – Helping you overcome addictive patterns of behaviour, including cocaine, cannabis, gambling, alcohol
• Chronic pain – Use natural ways to ease pain

There are many other issues that hypnotherapy can help with too. Because hypnosis works with the subconscious mind (the part of you that drives habits, emotional responses, and automatic thoughts) online hypnotherapy can gently and effectively help you to shift patterns that have held you back for years
