Before we get into the benefits, what is hypnotherapy?
Using hypnosis, hypnotherapy is a type of psychological therapy. (Hypnosis is a trance-like state where you have heightened focus and concentration) to help treat mental or physical health conditions. It can also be used to change your habits and encourage positive change.
What typically happens at a hypnotherapy session?
Before a session, you will discuss what you would like to achieve from hypnotherapy with your therapist. The therapist will use techniques to guide you into focused concentration and then offer suggestions or imagery to help you change negative thought patterns or behaviours.
You are entirely in control and conscious throughout the session and can accept or reject the therapist’s suggestions. The hypnotherapist will then slowly bring you out of the trance-like state.
Hypnotherapy is considered safe and effective when conducted by a trained professional.

What are the benefits of hypnotherapy?
There is a wide range of benefits reported from hypnotherapy. We have listed a selection of them. It’s important that we note – the effectiveness of hypnosis varies between individuals. Some people may be more receptive to hypnosis than others.
It can relieve stress and anxiety
Hypnosis itself can reduce anxiety, and this is done very simply through relaxation and visualisation. If you focus on the positive aspects of life you can encourage a shift in perspective. It can help you relax and be calm, naturally reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
Hypnosis works best at reducing anxiety when combined with other psychological interventions, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or exposure therapy.
It has also been proven to help other medical conditions often by reducing the level of anxiety they naturally bring, such as chronic pain, medical and surgical procedures, cancer treatment side effects, dental procedures, childbirth, menopausal symptoms and many more.
It can assist in helping alleviate psychological conditions
Alongside anxiety, studies have demonstrated that hypnotherapy can assist in helping to alleviate psychological conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, eating disorders and insomnia.
It can change your eating habits
Trying to lose weight can be a tormenting daily struggle, especially when you feel like you have tried everything. Hypnotherapy could be a healthy way to change your eating habits.
It can help remove obstacles to your success, address emotional eating, negative thoughts, and feelings about your body, and curb your desire for unhealthy snacks. Additionally, it can increase your desire for more nourishing foods, water, and exercise, which can be a lasting way to maintain or improve your health.
Hypnotherapy can help you to get over fears and phobias
Fears and phobias are very debilitating and exhausting to live with. Our unconscious minds are wired to shield us from pain and harm, whether that is physical or emotional which is why these issues occur.
By identifying the event, cause, or experience that triggered this problem, hypnotherapy can work to resolve, release, and reframe the past. And you can overcome fears you never thought possible.
It can aid natural healing
Every thought you have has a physical reaction in your body, impacting your cells. Hypnosis can be a powerful technique for positively influencing these cells. It’s incredible that by harnessing the power of your mind, you can facilitate healing in your body.
It can ease symptoms of IBS
Hypnotherapy is now recommended by The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence as an effective way to reduce the adverse effects of IBS. It has been proven to be a powerful method for tackling the condition.
It can help you overcome addiction
If you drink a lot of alcohol and are struggling to quit, hypnotherapy can be an incredibly effective method to help you stop. Hypnotism can help you quickly, naturally, and safely eliminate unwanted habits and addictions that no longer serve you.
Similarly, hypnotherapy can help individuals quit smoking by delving into the root cause of addiction and helping to overcome the psychological triggers associated with smoking.
It can improve your self-confidence
Hypnotherapy can help you to enhance your sense of self-worth and self-confidence by addressing negative self-talk and limiting beliefs.
Can hypnotherapy help me to stop smoking?
For many people, hypnotherapy is an effective tool for quitting smoking. Hypnosis can help to break the negative behaviours and thinking patterns that may be associated smoking, such as smoking to relieve stress. These negative thoughts and behaviours often prevent people from successfully giving up.
It can help you overcome cravings, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase the motivation to quit for good. However, every individual is different, and results may vary. Overcoming any addiction, like smoking, is a challenge.

Will hypnosis work for me?
Before receiving hypnotherapy, it’s recommended that you inform your therapist of any existing health conditions to ensure it is suitable for you. You may want to discuss this with your GP.
As with any form of therapy, there is no guarantee that hypnotherapy will work for you. However, there are thousands of reviews and honest accounts of the positive effects and benefits of hypnotherapy.
It’s worth exploring and, for many people, it has totally changed their lives for the better.
How many sessions will I need?
The length of your hypnotherapy sessions will largely depend on your individual circumstances and the reason you’re seeking hypnosis. For instance, if you’re looking for a one-time service like smoking cessation, the hypnotherapist may offer a single session.
However, certain issues may require a more extended and consistent approach with frequent weekly sessions. Your hypnotherapist will assess your needs at the beginning of the therapy and suggest the appropriate number of sessions required. They will also adapt to your progress and needs by either reducing or increasing the number of sessions.
Are there any side effects of hypnotherapy?
When administered by a qualified healthcare professional, hypnotherapy typically has minimal, if any, side effects. It is possible to feel drowsy immediately following the therapy, but this is generally short-lived.
During hypnotherapy sessions, therapists assess how effective the treatment is and monitor for any side effects. If the therapy is not producing the desired results, the therapist may adjust the treatment or suggest alternative therapies.
