Wondering when to try Hypnotherapy and what it can be used for?
Most people who do Hypnotherapy do it as a last resort after they’ve exhausted all their options. But that’s so flawed, because Hypnotherapy is actually one of the most effective forms of therapy out there.
While individual results can vary, studies show that 6 sessions on average is all it takes to get results. Some people get results after one session, some require a lot more than that.
But the fact of the matter is that it works extremely quickly and effectively when compared to other forms of therapy such as psychotherapy.

What can Hypnotherapy be used for?
Hypnotherapy can be used for a range of different things. From breaking unconscious habits and getting rid of phobias, to building confidence and motivation. If you can think of it, Hypnotherapy can likely help with it.
Here are a few key things Hypnotherapy is commonly used for:
Anxiety and stress
Hypnotherapy can be effective in reducing anxiety and stress. It allows you to achieve a state of deep relaxation, thereby alleviating symptoms in the moment, and the reduction continues outside of Hypnosis, too.
Confidence and self-esteem
Hypnotherapy is a great tool for improving self-esteem, confidence and self-image. If you’d like to feel more confident in yourself, or perhaps at something like public speaking, it’s an effective tool to help you build your confidence quickly.
Smoking and vaping cessation
Research indicates that hypnotherapy can be an effective method for quitting smoking. Success rates vary, with some studies showing up to a 50% success rate, and a minimum of three sessions is advised.
Motivation and goal achievement
Hypnotherapy can help to improve focus and concentration, and help in setting and achieving personal goals. If you struggle with procrastination, it’s a great tool to foster motivation and action.
Chronic pain management
Hypnotherapy has been shown to help reduce chronic pain and improve the quality of life for people suffering from conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis. If you’re struggling with pain, and it’s been confirmed by a medical professional that nothing needs medical attention, then Hypnotherapy is a great tool for ongoing pain management.
Weight loss
Hypnotherapy can aid in weight loss by addressing underlying emotional issues and promoting healthier habits. For example, addressing emotional eating and helping you to adopt a healthier lifestyle that feels natural to you.
Phobias and fears
Hypnotherapy is often used to help people overcome specific phobias and fears through desensitisation and positive reinforcement techniques. If you’re afraid of spiders, heights, or anything else that could be affecting your quality of life, Hypnotherapy is a great option for kicking the fear.
Social anxiety
If you’re socially anxious then Hypnotherapy is a great tool. It can help to alleviate social anxiety and build your confidence so you’re present in social situations and able to connect with others easily.
Sleep disorders
Hypnotherapy can be useful for those struggling with insomnia or other sleep disorders by promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. Listening to self-hypnosis recordings before bed for example is a great way to nod off to sleep.
Success
Hypnotherapy can help you to become more successful by enabling your unconscious mind to get onboard with your goals and your vision for the future, helping to change your mindset and unconscious behaviours and thought patterns to be aligned with the level of success you’d like to create; preventing self-sabotage and fear of failure from holding you back.
