Zoom sessions and online hypnotherapy
Online therapy is now an established and valuable alternative to face-to-face therapy meetings. It is used worldwide and increasingly popular during Covid-19
Is it effective?
Yes because online therapy sessions have shown
significant improvements are possible
results are equal, or in some cases better, to that of in-person therapy
Client satisfaction is high.
If you’re still not sure, I am happy to chat briefly with you online to allow you to try before you commit to a session.
How does it work?
First you ring me and we schedule a chat to talk about your needs at a time and date that suits us both.
You complete my online intake form and make payment 24 hours before the session and, when the time comes, you click on a link to enter your session.
Advantages
You are safe in familiar surroundings to have therapy
No travel time or costs are involved.
No interruptions to your therapy due to local lockdowns, self-isolation issues
Possible Concerns and how we can overcome them
Confidentiality : You need to ensure you are in a place where others cannot interrupt or overhear you.
Some people worry about the connection being broken during hypnosis, although in practice this is rarely a problem. But (just in case) I always include a suggestion that if you don’t hear my voice for a few minutes you will bring yourself out of trance feeling wonderful, and we can reconnect.
What do I need to provide?
A screen with an internet connection and Zoom installed. A free account is all you’ll need.
Bigger screens are better than small ones, and if you are using a phone or tablet, you’ll need to prop it up on something rather than hold it in your hand.
A place where you will not be overheard or interrupted by family, pets, phones, etc. This is partly to ensure your confidentiality but also to help you get the most from your therapy.
A comfortable place to sit or recline. Laying down is OK, but you may be more inclined to drop asleep laid on a bed, especially if you are tired.
Warm clothing - because many people don't move around much in trance, you may become chilled.
A second way of contacting you is useful, just in case we get cut off.
An open mind and a desire for change.
