Question 4

Question 6

Does hypnotherapy work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, hypnotherapy by itself has been proven to work for certain problems. The CBH approach that I use has been proven to make CBT more effective.

However, no therapy is effective for every individual. As such, we will discuss in the initial consultation whether hypnotherapy may be suitable for you.
