cognitive hypnotherapy online via zoom
Does online hypnotherapy really work?
Yes, and the reason is simple. Hypnosis is not something a therapist does to you. It’s something your brain does in response to words, guidance and suggestion. Whether you’re listening from across a room or across an ocean, your brain can enter the same trance state and absorb the same therapeutic work.
I have worked with clients online since covid made many therapists change the way they work. In my clinical experience, online sessions produce results that are the same as face-to-face work, and for some clients, being in their own familiar environment actually helps the therapeutic process.
The format is the same as any in-person session. We talk, we work together, and then I guide you into a state of focused relaxation where the real change begins. All you need is a quiet space, a stable internet connection, and an open mind.
Of my online clients receive the same personalised, evidence-based Cognitive Hypnotherapy I deliver face-to-face in my practice, not a reduced or compromised version.
why choose online hypnotherapy
Six reasons clients choose virtual therapy
Convenience
No travel time. No parking. No waiting room. Join your session from your sofa, your office, or your hotel room anywhere in the world.
Comfort of own home
Being in a familiar environment can actually deepen relaxation and many clients find the hypnotic state comes more easily in their own space.
Accessibility
Whether you live 10 miles from the nearest therapist or on another continent entirely, online hypnotherapy puts expert care within reach.
Greater choice
You’re not limited to whoever is closest to you geographically. You can choose the right therapist, not just the nearest one.
Privacy
No one in a waiting room. No one to walk past. For clients dealing with sensitive issues, the privacy of home can make it far easier to open up.
Flexibility
Using trance to consolidate the therapeutic work, reprogram subconscious responses and build a vivid mental blueprint of life beyond trauma. Personalised audio recordings extend this work between sessions.
what can be treated with online hypnotherapy
Online hypnotherapy can help with all this
Online hypnotherapy is not limited to simple habits or surface-level anxiety. The full depth of Cognitive Hypnotherapy including trauma work, deep-rooted patterns, and complex emotional challenges is available to you online, exactly as it is face-to-face.
The Process
How an online hypnotherapy
programme works
From your first enquiry to lasting change here is what to expect when you work with me online.
A Real Conversation
We start with a complimentary call. You tell me what’s going on, I ask the questions that begin to reveal what’s really underneath it. No obligation, no pressure.
Mapping the Pattern
Together we build a picture of where the pattern lives, often tracing back to beliefs or experiences you may never have connected to your current struggle.
Subconscious-Level Change
Using hypnotherapy and supporting techniques, we update the programme at its source. Personalised audio recordings extend the work between sessions.
A Different Life
Change is often noticeable from the first session. You leave with tools, insights and, most importantly, a genuinely different felt experience of yourself.
Ongoing Support
Between sessions you have personalised recordings and my support. Further sessions are arranged as and when you need them, at your pace.
The neuroscience of hypnosis
What happens in your brain
during online hypnosis
When you enter a state of hypnosis, your brain undergoes measurable shifts in electrical activity. Your brainwaves slow from the active, analytical beta state into alpha and then theta, the same state associated with deep meditation, creativity, and access to the subconscious mind.
Research using functional MRI has shown that hypnosis increases connectivity between brain regions involved in attention, emotional regulation, and self-control, all of which can be engaged just as effectively through a screen.
Active thinking, analytical, alert. The part of you that evaluates, judges and sometimes resists change.
The critical faculty quietens. Relaxation deepens. The doorway to the subconscious begins to open.
Where hypnotherapy does its most profound work. Creativity, intuition, and deep-seated patterns become accessible and malleable.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about
online hypnotherapy
Is online hypnotherapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. Hypnotherapy works through verbal guidance and suggestion, processes that are fully intact over video. I have found no meaningful difference in outcome between online and in-person sessions. For some clients, being in their own home actually enhances relaxation and comfort to engage with therapy.
What is online hypnotherapy?
Online hypnotherapy is a full therapeutic session conducted via video call. I use Zoom. It is identical in content to an in-person session: the same assessment, the same techniques, the same personalised hypnosis and therapy, simply delivered through a screen rather than in a room.
Who can benefit from online hypnotherapy?
Anyone who is open to the process can benefit. Online sessions are particularly well-suited to busy professionals, people with mobility limitations, those in rural or remote areas, clients travelling for work, and anyone who simply prefers the privacy and comfort of their own home.
Is online hypnotherapy safe?
Completely. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation, similar to deep meditation or that drowsy state just before sleep. You remain in control throughout and can end the session at any time. I am a fully qualified, insured and accredited hypnotherapist with over 14 years of experience in private practice.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies. Some clients notice meaningful shifts after a single session. For deeper or more complex issues (trauma, longstanding anxiety, or patterns rooted in childhood) a series of sessions is usually recommended. I will discuss a realistic plan with you during your free consultation.
What happens if there is a technical problem?
Don’t worry. If the connection drops, Zoom will attempt to reconnect automatically. If that doesn’t work, I will message you via WhatsApp or email with simple instructions. Technical issues during a session are rare but handled quickly and calmly, you will never be left wondering what to do.
Do you offer recordings between sessions?
Yes. Where it will support your progress, I create personalised audio hypnotherapy recordings for you to listen to between sessions. These are tailored specifically to your situation, not generic downloads, and are included as part of your ongoing work together.
What qualifications do I hold?
I hold an MSc in Psychology, a Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy (DipCHyp), a Post-Graduate Diploma in Journalism, NLP Master Practitioner status, and a Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD). She is registered with the NCH and holds EMCC Senior Practitioner status as a coach.

At the time of your session, simply click the link. If it’s your first time, Zoom may ask you to download a small free application — this only takes a minute or two.
Check your camera and mic
Make sure your camera and microphone are turned on before joining. It’s worth testing these a few minutes before the session starts.
If you lose connection
Zoom will try to reconnect automatically. If that doesn’t work, re-click the original link. I will also message you on WhatsApp to guide you through it.
