Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy that is used to treat conditions or to help people change habits. Hypnotherapy is more than just hypnosis
The healing powers of hypnotherapy
There are different types of hypnotherapy available for treating conditions and altering habits.
Hypnotherapy is not usually available on the NHS. Therefore it would be privately funded either through a cash plan or self-funding.
You should consult your GP before having hypnotherapy if you have any type of personality disorder.
The cost of treatment could be from £50 upwards per session.
This form of treatment can be used to help with:
- Chronic pain
- Anxiety and Stress
- Smoking cessation
- Giving up alcohol
- Weight loss
- Sleep problems
The above list is not exhaustive because hypnotherapy can help with a whole host of mental and physical health issues.
UK Hypnotherapists do not have to have any specific training. You should therefore ensure you choose your therapist carefully. Ideally they should be registered with an organisation accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
