People often question if online hypnotherapy can match an in-person session. That’s perfectly understandable – especially when many people imagine that they must need to be in the same room as their hypnotherapist in order for solution-focused hypnotherapy to work.

From the very first time I offered online hypnotherapy – long before Covid made it the norm – I felt confident that the outcome would be the same as with in-person sessions.

That’s because there’s no physical interaction between myself and the client during a face-to-face session. Nor should there ever be during hypnotherapy.

The key ingredients for a successful hypnotherapy session of any kind are as follows:

• An experienced, certified clinical hypnotherapist
• An open-minded and willing client
• The ability for the client and hypnotherapist to see and hear each other
• The promise of a quiet, uninterrupted session
• A properly-prepared hypnotherapist who understands what he/she is trying to treat and has ascertained that they are a good match for the client after an initial chat

As you can see, all of the above are achievable during an online therapy session – undertaken in the familiar surroundings of your own home – just as easily as they are in person.

In terms of my own credentials, I completed more than 1,000 hours of training before starting as a hypnotherapist a decade ago, and since then I have successfully treated in excess of 5,000 people.

More than 1,000 of those sessions have now been conducted online.

And yes – the results of both approaches (in-person or online hypnotherapy) is consistently the same. This recent article about how online sessions of hypnotherapy with me helped a Women’s Health journalist to overcome confidence issues explains how it all works really well.

For my clients, the convenience of booking an online therapy session that takes place in their own home is very attractive. Some clients find not having to make the trip to see their hypnotherapist in person makes the whole idea of seeing a therapist much easier, too.

To make sure that your online hypnotherapy goes as smoothly as possible, I have invested in studio-quality audio and video equipment that makes the experience feel authentic and real.

Online hypnosis is just as effective as in-person hypnotherapy, meaning it is a safe, proven way to deal with everything from general anxiety and phobias to insomnia and panic attacks.

It can be used to help people quit smoking, gain confidence – and be more like the person they want to be. Additionally, online hypnotherapy can be used to help people lose weight, deal with social anxiety and more.

This is made possible by the powerful way in which hypnotherapy addresses the unconscious mind. Using the latest methods and tools, I am able to help you to change your response to whatever is holding you back.

With online hypnotherapy, my aim is to take you into a hypnotic state and equip the brain with somewhere else to go in times of difficulty – somewhere different to the old response.

Instead of fear, chronic stress and alarm, we give the mind the chance to go to somewhere much more calm – a place where fear-inducing, catastrophising thoughts don’t happen and anxiety levels fall.

It’s a way for people with a fear of flying to get on a plane without worrying about it. Or, for people who are terrified of public speaking to stand up in front of a crowd and give a knockout speech.

I’ve used online hypnotherapy to help people with the above problems and many more, and I can use it to help you, too – especially if you have tried other methods and been disappointed with the results.
