Weight-loss hypnotherapy online and in Hertfordshire
Most people work with me online, over Zoom, from wherever they live. If you’d rather meet in person, face-to-face sessions in Hertfordshire are available by arrangement.
If you’ve been searching for weight loss hypnosis near you, it’s worth knowing that the right hypnotherapist doesn’t have to be nearby.
Is online hypnotherapy as effective as face to face?
In my experience the results are the same. I built my practice on Harley Street, seeing people in person, and now work with most of my clients online. I haven’t seen any difference in how well people respond or how much they get from their sessions.
The research points the same way. A 2021 meta-analysis led by Ephrem Fernandez, published in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, compared therapy delivered live by video with therapy in person across 47 studies, and found that video was no less effective.
To be clear about its limits: that research covers talking therapies in general, including CBT for anxiety and depression. There are no direct trials comparing online and face-to-face hypnotherapy for weight loss. But hypnosis is mostly voice, attention and imagination, and those all travel well over a good connection.
How online sessions work
- Book your consultationWe meet on Zoom to talk through your eating and whether I can help. Use code SLIM at checkout for half price: £24.50 instead of £49 (or $29.50 outside the UK). The fee comes off your first session.
- Find a quiet roomFor each session, choose somewhere you won’t be disturbed for the whole session. A comfortable chair you can lean back in is ideal. Put your phone on silent and let anyone at home know you’re busy.
- Use headphonesHeadphones help you hear my voice clearly and shut out background noise. Set your laptop or tablet somewhere steady, where I can see your face.
- We talk, then we do the hypnosisEach session combines conversation, practical habit change and hypnosis. You stay aware throughout and can stop at any time.
- Your recording followsAfter each session I send you a recording of the hypnosis to keep, so you can listen again between sessions.
Online also means no travel, no waiting room and no parking. You’re back in your own kitchen straight after a session, which is often where the real work happens.
Who might prefer face to face?
Some people simply prefer being in the same room, and that’s a perfectly good reason. You might feel more settled away from home, have nowhere private to take a call, or just like the idea of a separate space for this kind of work. It’s a personal preference rather than a clinical one.
Face-to-face sessions in Hertfordshire
Face-to-face sessions in Hertfordshire are available by arrangement. I don’t publish an address; I’ll give you the venue when you book. If you’d like to meet in person, mention it when you book your consultation. Face-to-face sessions cost the same as online ones, and the prices are on my cost and sessions page.
Wherever you are
Because sessions are online, it makes no difference whether you live round the corner or the other end of the country. I work with adults across the UK and abroad. You can read more about how I work on my work with Adam page.
Whoever you choose, check their training and experience. I have a psychology degree, a Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, both with Distinction, and 17 years in clinical practice.
Wherever we meet, hypnotherapy works best alongside sensible eating and moving more, not instead of them. If you’re unsure whether it would suit you, read Can everyone be hypnotised? or take the free suitability test.
Common questions
Is there weight loss hypnotherapy near me?
If you’re in Hertfordshire, face-to-face sessions are available by arrangement. Wherever you live, you can work with me online over Zoom, which is how most of my clients work.
Is online hypnotherapy for weight loss as effective as face to face?
In my experience the results are the same. A 2021 meta-analysis of 47 studies found therapy delivered by video was no less effective than in person, although it covered talking therapies generally and there are no direct trials for weight-loss hypnotherapy.
What do I need for an online session?
A quiet room where you won’t be disturbed, a comfortable chair, headphones, and a laptop or tablet with Zoom. I send you a recording of the hypnosis after each session.
Can I be hypnotised over Zoom?
Yes. Hypnosis relies on your attention, your imagination and my voice, and all of those work well over video. You stay aware and in control, just as you would in person.
Where are face-to-face sessions held, and do they cost the same?
In Hertfordshire, by arrangement, and I give you the venue when you book. Face-to-face sessions cost the same as online ones, and the prices are on my cost and sessions page.
