Imagine creating an ambience of calm every day that can set the context for profound emotional connection and healing.  

The Therapy Experience

Clinical hypnotherapy is much more than just listening to someone’s story. It works by creating a deeply personal therapeutic experience.

Therapy sessions form the heart of the working day. Each client’s situation will be unique, and clinical hypnotherapists help people navigate through a wide range of challenges that include simple stress, depression, relationship breakdown, anger management and sometimes feeling lost and not knowing what to do.

Building rapport and trust is crucial, as this allows the client to open up and fully immerse themselves in the process. Once the groundwork is laid, the clinical hypnotherapist will guide their clients into a state of deep relaxation known as a hypnotic state.



Even with their eyes closed the client remains fully aware and in control throughout the session. Some people develop hyperacuity which allows them to hear every detail, but most enter a deep state of inner peace. Clinical hypnotherapists are trained to communicate with the unconscious mind, addressing the root causes of the person’s issues. They utilise various techniques, such as visualisation, regression, positive affirmations and hypnotic suggestions to facilitate the process of healing and change.

Running a Practice

Running a practice includes routine tasks. The day begins by checking appointments and ensuring that you are up to date with your client’s concerns and schedule changes. Long nights and weekends can be a time of crisis for many people, so responding with empathy and efficiency provides an important source of reassurance. But therapists must also keep a close watch to ensure that their clients do not become overly dependent on therapy as the primary source of care.



Clinical hypnotherapists also spend time reviewing their case notes and staying current with their client’s goals and progress. The conversations that people have with their therapist are deeply personal. Clients often reflect on these discussions between their sessions saving new thoughts and ideas to share in the subsequent sessions. Revisiting these conversations in the consulting room helps to maintain rapport and creates a special space for the client. This connection forms part of the therapeutic relationship and provides valuable insights to the therapist. 

The Therapy Space

As the clock nears the scheduled appointment time, the therapist will switch on the special focus and compassion mindset necessary for a successful session. They arrange the therapeutic space, become analytical and warm and pay attention to little things like the client’s body language and emotional state.

It is easy to talk about yourself when someone is concentrating on what you say. Therapists are trained to ask open-ended questions that encourage clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. Clinical hypnotherapists use the hypnotic state to access hidden resources and release painful emotions. They also include coping strategies, tools for self-awareness, and guidance to foster personal growth.



Most people leave with a sense of hope. For some clients one session is sufficient, but many require several sessions to work through their challenges and to integrate the newly acquired insights with the world beyond the consulting room. Clinical hypnotherapists offer a support system through homework tasks, training in self-hypnosis and other positive suggestions that are useful during the weeks between the sessions.

Building Your Practice

Most therapy practices thrive on referrals. Clients who feel cared for value the experience and want to share it with their friends and colleagues. This is a great source of future business. Clients may also return with new challenges or seek a little additional support for a previous challenge.

Clinical hypnotherapy invites a profound exploration of the human mind. It combines scientific approaches with kindness and interweaves ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic practice. The journey is filled with moments of revelation, compassion, and the joy of witnessing your client evolve into their new lives.
