Why should you consider Online Hypnosis Sessions? My specialism is relieving anxiety and stress related conditions. In these difficult and unpredictable times, it is good to know that you can get the help you need from the safety of your own home.

Special low cost sessions available online at an affordable price.

Online Hypnosis Sessions – Private 1-1 sessions can be experienced live through a platform such as Zoom or WhatsApp and this means that apart from making a large cost saving, you can receive all the benefits without the stress in having to worry about travelling.

About Private and Group Online Session  

In private sessions, you will receive the same service, personalized to your needs. With group sessions, you will be guided towards proven techniques and practical help, however, personal issues are not discussed in a group as this would breach your confidentiality.

There is no difference in an online hypnosis session to a face-to-face session, other than that you will be communicating with me through a computer screen or other chosen device.

However, please note that it is important to have a reliable internet connection. I live in a village and am very pleased that guaranteed faster fibre has now become available and needless to say, I signed up fast!

Preparing for your first hypnotherapy session is an exciting opportunity towards beneficial change.   For many people, their presenting symptoms may have been long term and sometimes a new event has served as the catalyst for change (for example, new career, partner, marriage).  It is your own motivation and desire that plays an important part in enabling the success of the hypnotherapeutic suggestion process.

Most practitioners offer prospective clients a free consultation session to determine suitability for hypnotherapy and also to help to prepare a new client with an understanding of what they can expect from the process.  In preparing for their first hypnotherapy session, I offer my prospective clients 20 minutes in which they can discuss their symptoms and related history and importantly, the desired beneficial outcome.   The practitioner may then indicate to the client a procedural plan which will become more defined after the initial session.  For example, two sessions of suggestion therapy will often be sufficient for habit cessation, however, where a habit is linked to other issues or past traumatic events, hypnotherapy may take longer.

The object is for the client to gain the most from the first hypnotherapy session and subsequent appointments. During my many years in practice I have been asked a variety of questions and here are a few brief points to consider further of which are often contained in a pre-consultation letter.

Preparing for Your First Hypnotherapy Session –

1. Make brief details about your symptoms and any related events.
2. Bring any GP or Consultant’s letter of referral containing clinical details.
3. Full disclosure will be necessary for certain clinical conditions – ask your hypnotherapist.
4. Eat something suitable prior to your session to prevent being distracted by hunger pangs.
5. Avoid caffeine during the hours prior to your session to avoid hyperactivity.
6. Location – allow time to familiarise yourself with the clinic’s location you are travelling to.
7. Parking – unless parking is offered on-site, request details of local parking space.
8. Payment facilities – ask the therapist before your appointment. Most offer paypal facility online or the use of electronic banking transfer.
9. Cancellation policy – be aware of the therapist’s cancellation policy agreement so that goodwill is maintained. Many therapists make no charges for illness or unforeseen events.
10. Your participation – the importance that you fully participate in the therapeutic process.
11. Choose a time for your appointment that suits your body clock and allows you to relax.

When you arrive for hypnotherapy with me,  a simple contract letter will be undertaken. This contains your details, the therapist’s details, any medical disclosure notes/current medication, past therapy undertaken, and importantly what you are attending for (ie. smoking cessation, weight management, stress management)  and what you hope to achieve.  This protects both you and the therapist.

Enjoy your hypnotherapy.  Remember – The object is your desired beneficial change.

Online Zoom sessions for Hypnotherapy have become popular. During these changing times, many more people have become familiar with the different communication platforms available today, such as Skype, Zoom and WhatsApp on mobiles.

Online Skype Sessions for Hypnotherapy

With high speed internet connections now being used by many people, Skype and Zoom on larger screens become closely similar to a face to face session. Once, frequent time lapses could occur with connections but these are rarer now and the internet is compatible not only with our lifestyle but also with government requests to,  ‘avoid groups, to stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel.’

Skype and Zoom Hypnotherapy Sessions

Connections such as Skype and Zoom can help may people who couldn’t otherwise see a therapist.  Perhaps you’re one of these people? Many of my busy clients have long confirmed that Skype allows them to have therapy and coaching in the comfortable surroundings of their choice.  It is important to have a quiet room and a place where you can feel safe, comfortable and not in fear of interruptions.  Of course, those who have young children at home need to plan more carefully, such as after bedtimes.

Skype Sessions for Hypnotherapy – An Initial Free Consultation Session

An initial free consultation session of 20 minutes is offered by phone or Skype. The purpose of this free session is for you, the client, to be able to discuss your situation and to gain from me, the therapist, information about the process of hypnotherapy and coaching. You can then determine whether or not you think this is the right process for you and whether you want to work with me.  You are under no pressure whatsoever to continue and this free session allows the chance to reflect and to decide.

An Explanation of the Benefits of Hypnosis During a Free Skype Consultation

During a free Skype session, I am happy to discuss the relaxing state of progressive relaxation and how to enter into a trance state. As a registered Supervisor, Senior Practitioner and Professional Trainer, I do not expect my clients to learn hypnotherapy techniques until I have explained them in full, along with the knowledge that hypnosis is a safe procedure with many health benefits. (During actual  sessions with my clients I personally demonstrate techniques so that my clients may feel  confident in my personal ability).

Your Hypnotherapy Choice – Skype or Telephone

Whatever your goal, the object of hypnosis and therapy is to help you towards your desired beneficial change and Skype is a valuable option to consider.

“I visited Sara recently for two Hypnotherapy sessions. In the first instance, during a fifteen minute phone interview, I found her to be very patient and helpful focusing on how she could best help me. During the sessions again she was very patient and understanding and demonstrated a wealth of experience. The meditations I undertook with her were powerful and have helped me immensely. I certainly would recommend her.”

“Strongly recommend. I had been suffering serious morning anxiety and sickness for years and had tried everything but still couldn’t manage. I was sceptical at first as hypnotherapy sounds mythical to me but I can honestly say after my very first session with Sara I noticed a large improvement and my sickness was gone. Now that my 3 sessions are completed I have a new plan in place and my anxiety and sickness hasn’t been present since. A seriously life changing experience and I will be visiting Sara again to help overcome my fears of flying and presentations in the future! Seems a lot of money at first but it’s so worth it in the end! ”

“With Sara’s help, I have managed to overcome many demons, she is a great hypnotherapist!
Not only did she help me over come social anxiety in public speaking and performing but I also used to be addicted to chocolate and all things sweet and although she was only hypnotising me to eat it in moderation, it worked so well and I left feeling so empowered that I have not eaten anything sweet (chocolate, ice cream, desserts, biscuits, cake, etc) at all in almost 4 years! Wow! ”

“Sara is so professional and so calm, she is very welcoming and warm.
I found the treatment to be manageable and she was encouraging at all times.
Once my course had finished I felt as though I was walking on air and just blissfully happy. Not only has Sara treated my anxiety of spiders, she has also helped to calm me down in every day life.
She has given me the tools I need and I continue to work on these. ”

What does Clinical Hypnotherapy mean? The object of this brief article is to explain in simple terms.  Often, people enquire whether I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist or ‘the other kind,’ by which I discover they mean a ‘stage hypnotist.’  Having spent many years in supervision for Advanced level training and qualifications in both hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, I am probably equipped to explain. So here goes.

Clinical Hypnotherapy – Hypnosis is a natural state of being, and one that most people experience naturally in their day-to-day lives – imagine the  day dream state, one where you are travelling as a passenger in the car or on a train, and you’re gazing out of the window -whilst still awake, but not mentally thinking any more.

About Clinical Hypnotherapy and Therapeutic Suggestion – since many people are concerned they will lose control, let me explain that the object of clinical hypnotherapy is to use suggestion as a means to assist you, the client, towards your desired goal and beneficial outcome. The client doesn’t lose control and is not placed out of their comfort zone or into a state of deep sleep.  Suggestion, is often undertaken during the general course of conversation, when a person is fully conscious in discussion with their therapist, or suggestion may occur during a more relaxed state of trance, (like the day-dream state previously  discussed) when consciousness is resting at which point ‘suggestion’ can be made to our unconscious.

The Benefits of Clinical Hypnotherapy

Clinical Hypnotherapy has many advantages and when it is used with progressive relaxation techniques it is a powerful tool in reducing anxiety and stress.  Ancient cultures, particularly the Greeks, understood the importance of the balance of mind, body and spirit to our wellbeing.  Modern day thinking has returned to this understanding and to valuing the connection between our mental and physical health and how this both influences our attitudes and behaviours – and ultimately, how we feel when we interact with the people in our lives.

Your Contract for Clinical Hypnotherapy

We have discussed that the difference between Clinical Hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis is that the former has therapeutic goals and outcomes.  Indeed, the goals of Clinical Hypnosis are quite clearly defined for my clients by me through means of a brief contract at the commencement of therapy. My clients can therefore be assured of clarity, trust and confidentiality.

Clinical Hypnotherapy and My Personal Demonstration of a Trance –
As a registered Senior Level Practitioner, Supervisor and Trainer, I always demonstrate the trance state and how to achieve this. I do this so that my clients may feel perfectly safe and comfortable and they can join in the process when they are ready. When my clients watch and see how easy trance actually is, and the calming benefits it produces they want this too!

The Pregnancy & Work Transitions Programme is about helping you through the transitions of conception, pregnancy and childbirth, along with the day to day life changes ahead – from time off with new baby at home, to the preparation for your return to work.

The Pregnancy & Work Transitions programme is 3-6 sessions – dependent upon personal requirements.

Brief course outline:

• Preparing for changes with knowledge and the tools to cope well
• Conception/Birthing: learning progressive relaxation techniques and positive visualization
• Understand and acknowledge any anxieties and learn adaptive behaviour strategies
• Maternity Leave – plan a new routine and daily rhythm with positive re-framing
• Return to Work: planning your return to your previous job, or a new career change

Conception, Pregnancy and Birth – nowadays many women use hypnotherapy to ease conception anxiety and also to manage the birthing process and the pain.  This is with the use of taught techniques, including progressive relaxation and visualisation (with peaceful soothing images and sounds in your ‘safe place’). The aim is to help to reduce anxiety fears for an easier, calm transition for mother and baby.  Effective breathing and deep relaxation aids in the production of hormone Oxytocin, for effective and less painful contractions.

Enjoying Time off work with baby and preparing for your return – many women feel anxious about taking time out – whilst others really look forward to it.  Whatever your point of view, it is a time that is special for you and your baby. It is also a time that will allow you the space to review what you want to do with your life in the future. Some women extend their maternity leave, others choose to learn new skills and make a structured career transition. Whatever you choose, this is a positive and highly enriching time in your life and I will be delighted to help you on this journey!

Pregnancy & Work Transitions – Sara Howard is a highly experienced advanced Hypno-psychotherapist, Trainer and fully registered Executive Coach with the Association for Coaching. She is also a Consultant with the International Stress Management Association. As an experienced mother, Sara understands the worries and life changes that mothers experience, and as an Executive Coach, she found many businesswomen asking her for this type of transitional help. She now shares her wealth of knowledge with private individuals for 1-1 sessions.
