What is clinical hypnotherapy?

Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, focused attention and therapeutic suggestion to support personal goals and wellbeing. It is different from stage hypnosis or entertainment hypnosis.

During a private hypnotherapy session, you remain aware and in control. You cannot be made to do anything against your values or wishes. The session is collaborative, with the focus placed on what you want help with.

Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for diagnosis, medical treatment, psychological therapy or psychiatric care. If you have significant or persistent mental-health symptoms, speak with a GP, psychologist or psychiatrist.

Frequently asked questions about clinical hypnotherapy

What happens in a clinical hypnotherapy session?

A session is tailored to your goals. It usually involves a discussion about what you would like support with, followed by guided relaxation and therapeutic hypnosis where appropriate.

Will I be in control during hypnosis?

Yes. You remain aware and in control throughout hypnosis. You can speak, move, pause or stop at any time.

Is clinical hypnotherapy the same as stage hypnosis?

No. Stage hypnosis is entertainment. Clinical hypnotherapy is a private, goal-focused process intended to support personal wellbeing and behavioural change.

Can hypnotherapy replace a psychologist or doctor?

No. Hypnotherapy does not replace diagnosis, medical care, psychological therapy or psychiatric support. Speak with a qualified health professional for significant, severe or persistent symptoms.

Is hypnotherapy suitable for children and teenagers?

Clive works with children and teenagers, with sessions adapted to their age, needs and goals. Parents or carers can discuss the most suitable arrangement when making an enquiry.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your goals, circumstances and the concern you would like to work on. No number of sessions or particular outcome can be guaranteed.

Are online hypnotherapy appointments available?
