Online Hypnotherapy: Is It as Effective as Face-to-Face Sessions?
You might be wondering if online hypnotherapy is truly as effective as meeting in person. Let me reassure you—it absolutely is. Platforms like Zoom allow us to interact in real-time, so I can see, hear, and respond to your needs with the same precision as a face-to-face session. While some people assume that being physically present is essential, hypnotherapy is all about verbal guidance and mental focus—both of which work seamlessly in an online setting.
In fact, the convenience of online sessions can even enhance the experience. You don’t have to worry about traveling or dealing with unfamiliar environments; instead, you can relax in your own space, where you feel most at ease. This can be especially helpful if you have a busy schedule, mobility challenges, or simply prefer the privacy of being at home.
You don’t have to take my word for it—a study comparing the efficacy of online hypnotherapy and face-to-face sessions for IBS found that online hypnotherapy was highly effective, with 65% of patients experiencing a significant reduction in symptom severity. While face-to-face hypnotherapy showed slightly higher results in this particular study, the findings clearly demonstrate that online hypnotherapy works. Moreover, online sessions provided access to treatment for individuals who might otherwise have been unable to receive care due to their condition or circumstances.
It’s important to keep in mind that while 65% might not initially seem like a high figure, these hypnotherapy sessions were specifically addressing physical pain symptoms, which are often more complex and challenging to treat compared to issues rooted in the mind and subconscious.
How Does Online Hypnotherapy Work?
Online hypnotherapy works in much the same way as in-person sessions, offering the same structure and efficacy as what to expect from face-to-face therapy. During a session, I guide you into a relaxed state where we can work together to address your specific needs and goals. The process is collaborative, and as long as you can hear and see me clearly, the efficacy is not impacted by being online. To get started, you’ll need a device such as a laptop, computer, or tablet with a built-in camera or webcam. A stable internet connection is essential; for video calls, I recommend a minimum speed of 2 Mbps for both uploading and downloading to ensure smooth communication.
Just as important is your environment. I suggest finding a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed during the session. Using a headset, particularly one that covers your entire ear, can help cancel out background noise and minimise distractions, allowing you to stay fully focused. Minimising interruptions ensures the session flows seamlessly, which is key to achieving the best results.
I offer online hypnotherapy for all my treatments, so you can continue your journey without any disruptions.

Save Time
One of the key advantages of online sessions is the convenience they offer. Eliminating the need for travel and disruptions to your schedule, online sessions respect the value of your time. I understand that attending in-person appointments can consume a significant portion of your day, and by opting for online sessions, you can save precious time while still receiving the effective therapy you require.
Comfort at Home
Online hypnotherapy offers the unique benefit of taking place in the comfort of your own home. Since hypnotherapy relies on creating a state of relaxation and ease, being in a familiar and comfortable environment, such as your living room or bedroom, can enhance the process. When you’re in a space where you naturally feel safe and secure, it becomes easier to relax and focus, allowing the session to flow more effectively. This added layer of comfort can help you get the most out of your hypnotherapy experience.
No Travel Stress
Another key benefit of online hypnotherapy is its suitability for individuals who experience anxiety, stress, or hypochondria. The prospect of traveling to a session or entering an unfamiliar environment can often add to these feelings, making it harder to relax and engage in the therapeutic process. With online hypnotherapy, you can avoid these stressors entirely by participating from the safety and familiarity of your own home. This eliminates the pressure of travel and unfamiliar settings, allowing you to focus solely on the session and your progress.
