Understanding your goal
You discuss what brings you to hypnotherapy, your expectations and relevant health information. The practitioner considers whether their approach and experience fit your needs.
Online hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis, focused attention and agreed suggestions to work towards a personal goal. It starts with understanding what you would like support with and whether the approach is suitable for you.
Explore our hypnotherapy practitioners, compare their approaches and ask what sessions could involve. You can discuss your questions before committing to paid appointments.
Online support across the UK · from £48 · Confirm suitability and availability before booking.
What sessions may involve
Guided focused attention
Sessions may use relaxation, imagery and suggestions linked to an agreed goal. Methods vary, so ask what your practitioner offers and what to expect.
Reviewing your experience
You can discuss how sessions feel, what you notice afterwards and whether to continue or adjust the plan. Responses differ, and results cannot be guaranteed.
Exploring an approach that fits
People may enquire about hypnotherapy for goals relating to relaxation, confidence or changing a habit. Discuss your particular goal and ask about the evidence, alternatives and the practitioner’s relevant experience.
It is not a substitute for medical assessment or prescribed care. For a health condition, discuss suitable treatment options with your GP or relevant healthcare professional.
Considering online sessions
You will need a private, comfortable space where you can give the session your attention. Ask about the platform, any equipment and a plan for connection problems.
Share relevant health conditions with the practitioner before starting. NHS guidance notes that hypnotherapy may not be safe with schizophrenia, a history of psychosis or epilepsy; seek advice from your healthcare professional about suitability.

Questions about hypnotherapy
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
You remain in control and do not have to accept suggestions. Ask your practitioner to explain how they work, how you can pause and what you are agreeing to before starting.
Does hypnotherapy work for everyone?
No. People respond differently, and the evidence varies depending on what it is used for. Ask about realistic expectations, alternatives and how you will review whether the approach is helping.
What should I ask about qualifications?
Ask about hypnotherapy training, relevant professional registration, supervision and experience with your goal. Inclusion in this category does not itself establish a particular accreditation or qualification to treat every condition.
Can I have hypnotherapy online?
Some practitioners offer sessions remotely. Confirm availability and suitability, and agree a private setting and what to do if the connection drops. Do not join a hypnosis session while driving or doing anything requiring your attention.
How much do sessions cost?
Currently listed individual fees are £48–£55. Profile fees may cover different services or session lengths. Confirm the hypnotherapy session price and duration directly before booking; making an enquiry is free.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your goals, circumstances and the approach. Discuss a proposed plan, review points and costs before booking. No fixed number of sessions or outcome can be promised.
