Why Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can be easily added to your existing approach and many psychologists and psychotherapists already use hypnosis as an effective and brief intervention.  Hypnosis is used increasingly within the medical professions too, particularly in dental work, palliative care and pain management.  Past students who have successfully added hypnotherapy to their existing portfolio include:

  • Doctors
  • Psychologists
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Dentists
  • Dental Nurses
  • Palliative Care Nurses
  • Relate Counsellors
  • Mental Health Nurses

  • Drug/Alcohol Counsellors
