How Online Hypnotherapy Sessions Happen
When you are suffering enough, you will find a way of getting help. When Tom called me to talk about booking a hypnotherapy session for getting rid of his moth phobia, I was very sure I could help him. Dealing with phobias is wonderful as really what I am doing is de-hypnotising them. Tom was already 'in trance' by exhibiting signs of being terrified when there was nothing scary around. When we are imagining scary things and it fires off our fight or flight responses, and the 'thing' is nowhere to be seen, hypnotherapy is the perfect solution.
Video Calls, Zoom, Whatsapp, Virtual Hypnotherapy is Happening!
This was on a video call and I noticed he has a lovely accent, though initially I had no idea he was telephoning from Canada. It was too late then, I was already halfway to getting him free of his moth phobia. That is how I realised I can do these online hypnotherapy sessions without the client being in the same room. Here is Tom's wife calling me to say the phobia had completely gone. Manifesting being what it is, the Universe had tested him with hundreds of moths! Listen here:
Yes, he was so impresed he wanted me to share it with you and anyone who is suffering. No matter where you are in the world, virtual online hypnotherapy sessions can help you.
Modern Virtual Online Hypnotherapy Began
When the Standards Council announced, after our lockdown experience, that we could teach our Clinical Diploma in Hypnotherapy & NLP and deliver hypnosis, hypnotherapy and NLP ('Neuro-Linguistic Programing') by virtual means, I was not at all certain how effective it was going to be. Now, after many years of delivering Online Hypnotherapy Sesions I can give you a tried and texted overview of how hypnotherapy works online.
Virtual online hypnotherapy is appropriate for phobias, weight control, sleep issues, stopping smoking, or indeed anything that is an overwhelming feeling or unwanted behaviour that seems to be ruining your life. It is the modern way to access deep relaxation and positive change without leaving your comfortable space. I’m here to tell you what you need to know about this exciting approach.
Virtual hypnotherapy is changing how we think about mental wellness and personal growth. It’s flexible, accessible, and just as effective as in-person sessions when done right. Whether you want to overcome anxiety, break bad habits, or simply improve your mindset, online hypnotherapy sessions can be a great fit.
Let’s talk about what virtual hypnotherapy is, how it works, and how you can get started with confidence.
What Is Virtual Hypnotherapy? A Virtual Hypnotherapy Overview
Virtual hypnotherapy is simply hypnotherapy delivered through video calls or online platforms. Instead of sitting face-to-face in a therapist’s office, you connect with a certified hypnotherapist via your computer, tablet, or smartphone. This setup allows you to experience hypnosis in a familiar, comfortable environment.
The process is very similar to traditional hypnotherapy. You’ll be guided into a relaxed, focused state where your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions. The main difference is the convenience of doing it remotely.
Here’s why virtual hypnotherapy is gaining popularity:
Accessibility: No need to travel or rearrange your schedule drastically. You CAN come in person though too, but why do that when this online hypnotherapy works so well?
Comfort: You’re in your own space, which can help you relax more deeply.
Privacy: Sessions happen in a private setting, which can feel safer for some.
Flexibility: You can schedule sessions that fit your lifestyle, even if you live far from a hypnotherapist. Just like me being able to help Tom, from the other side of the world!
How Virtual Hypnotherapy Sessions Work
When you book a virtual hypnotherapy session, you’ll usually start with a consultation. This is your chance to share your goals and concerns. Your hypnotherapist will explain the process and answer any questions you have. It’s important to feel comfortable and trust your therapist, so don’t hesitate to speak openly.
During the session, you’ll be guided through relaxation techniques. These help quiet your conscious mind and open the door to your subconscious. The hypnotherapist will then use positive suggestions tailored to your needs. For example, if you want to sleep better, we will talk about what hinders and what helps you sleep, if you wish to quit smoking, the suggestions will focus on reinforcing your desire to be smoke-free.
Here’s a simple breakdown of a typical session:
Preparation: Find a quiet, comfortable spot where you won’t be disturbed.
Relaxation: The therapist guides you into a calm, focused state. Only when your nervous system is completely at ease should you ever be led into online hypnotherapy.
Suggestion: Positive affirmations and imagery are introduced.
Reorientation: You’re gently brought back to full awareness, feeling refreshed.
You don’t have to worry about “losing control” during hypnosis. You remain fully aware and in charge the entire time. The goal is to help your mind focus and accept helpful ideas more easily.
Benefits of Choosing Virtual Hypnotherapy
Virtual hypnotherapy offers many benefits that make it a great option for personal change. Here are some of the key advantages:
Convenience: You can attend sessions from anywhere with an internet connection.
Cost-Effective: No travel expenses or time off work needed.
Comfort: Being in your own space can reduce anxiety about the process.
Consistency: Easier to maintain regular sessions, which improves results.
Wide Access: You can work with specialists who might not be local.
Many people find that virtual sessions fit better into their busy lives. Plus, the relaxed environment at home can make it easier to enter the hypnotic state.
If you’re an aspiring hypnotherapist, offering virtual sessions can expand your reach and help more people. It’s a flexible way to build your practice and connect with clients worldwide. We teach the best hypnotherapists wherever they happen to be in the world and they are much more focused when sitting at their computer than they may have been in class. We do miss sharing the biscuits though!
Tips for a Successful Virtual Hypnotherapy Experience
To get the most out of your virtual hypnotherapy sessions, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are some practical tips:
Give other forms of contact: Your phone number or contact number of a family member or friend will be required, so we have several ways of staying in contact with you.
Choose a Quiet Space: Find a room where you won’t be interrupted or distracted.
Use Headphones: This helps block out background noise and improves focus.
Set the Mood: Dim the lights, sit or lie down comfortably, and eliminate distractions.
Be Open-Minded: Trust the process and your therapist’s guidance.
Stay Consistent: Regular sessions often lead to better, longer-lasting results.
