Common questions

What is clinical hypnotherapy?

Clinical hypnotherapy is a talk-based technique that uses focused relaxation to help address anxiety, stress, phobias, sleep difficulties and habits such as smoking, distinct from stage hypnosis used for entertainment.

Does hypnotherapy actually work?

Evidence varies by use case — it's better supported for some applications, such as anxiety and habit change, than others, and results depend on the individual and the practitioner's approach.

Is hypnotherapy safe?

For most people, clinical hypnotherapy delivered by a trained practitioner is considered low-risk, though it may not be appropriate for people with certain psychiatric conditions without medical guidance first.

Can hypnotherapy be done online?

Yes — many practitioners offer online sessions, which work well for hypnotherapy since the process relies mainly on verbal guidance rather than physical presence.
