Why choose hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a brief, goal‑focused approach that works by guiding you into a relaxed yet highly attentive state—often called a trance—where your subconscious mind is more open to positive suggestions. Modern research shows hypnotherapy can:
| Benefit | Key study highlights |
|---|---|
| Reduce anxiety & panic | 74 % symptom reduction after 6 sessions (American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 2024) |
| Increase quit‑smoking success | Up to 3× higher cessation rates than willpower alone (Addictive Behaviours, 2023) |
| Support weight management | Average 5 kg additional loss versus diet‑only controls (Obesity Reviews, 2022) |
| Ease chronic pain | Significant pain‑intensity drop on VAS scale (Cochrane Review, 2021) |

Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. Clinical hypnosis is recognised by the British Medical Association and carries no side‑effects when practised by a qualified professional.
Can I be hypnotised online?
Absolutely. Recent RCTs show online hypnosis to be as effective as face‑to‑face for smoking cessation and anxiety relief.
Will I lose control?
No. You can open your eyes and speak at any time. Hypnosis enhances focus—it doesn’t erase free will.
How many sessions will I need?
For a single habit such as smoking three sessions often suffice. Complex anxiety may take 6–8.
Is English the only language?
Sessions run primarily in English, but German and French support is available on request.
Kontraindikation:
Menschen mit einer psychotischen Struktur oder einer Autismus-Spektrum-Störung kann Hypnose nicht angeboten werden. Denn Hypnose senkt die psychischen Abwehrmechanismen und lässt so das Unbewusste mehr Raum einnehmen.
Allerdings haben psychotische Menschen ein „offenes Unbewusstes“ und eine weniger verankerte Beziehung zur Realität als neurotische Menschen oder Menschen mit einer Persönlichkeitsstörung. Für Menschen, die an einer Psychose oder ASD leiden, ist es wichtig, über ausreichend gute psychologische Abwehrmechanismen zu verfügen, um den Bezug zur Realität aufrechtzuerhalten. Für diese Personen ist eine psychiatrische und psychologische Überwachung besser geeignet.
