“I never thought hypnotherapy would actually work, but Ms. Ayushi Paul proved me wrong. She helped me let go of so much anxiety that had been holding me back for years. It is such a relief to finally feel calm and in control of my own head again.”

What Makes our Hypnotherapy 'Better'?
Personalised Hypnotherapy Plan
Hypnotherapy is never approached as a one-size-fits-all treatment. Your clinical psychologist first understands your symptoms, history, treatment goals and readiness for hypnotherapy, then shapes each session around the patterns and concerns that matter most to you.
Integrated Care Under One Roof
Hypnotherapy can work alongside therapy, psychiatric care, medication and lifestyle changes when needed. Instead of treating one symptom in isolation, your care team looks at the emotional, psychological and biological factors that may be keeping you stuck.
Careful suitability screening
Hypnotherapy may not suit everyone or every concern. Before recommending it, your clinician carefully understands your symptoms, history, and current treatment needs, so you receive the approach that is most appropriate for you.
Progress monitored over time
Your clinician regularly checks how you are responding to treatment, not just during a session but across your wider journey. This allows your care plan to evolve when your symptoms, goals, or needs begin to change.

Hypnotherapy at BetterPlace
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic modality that uses focused attention, relaxation and guided language to help you work with thoughts, emotions, memories and patterns that may not feel easy to access in everyday conversation.
During a hypnotherapy session, you enter a calm and highly focused state. You do not fall asleep. You do not lose awareness. You can still hear your therapist, respond when needed and stop the process at any point, if you choose to do so.
Read MoreMany people carry experiences, emotions and learned responses that continue to affect how they feel, behave and relate to others. Clinical hypnotherapy can help you explore these patterns in a safe, structured way, especially when you know something feels unresolved but cannot clearly identify why.
It is not black magic, mind control or a way for someone to uncover every secret you have ever hidden. Hypnotherapy is simply a therapeutic process designed to help you understand your unconscious mind, understand yourself better and make meaningful changes over time.
When can Clinical Hypnotherapy Help?
Clinical hypnotherapy may help when a concern feels automatic, physical or difficult to explain through thoughts alone. Your clinician may consider hypnotherapy when you have already tried approaches such as CBT, therapy or medication, but still feel that something remains unaddressed.
It can help with
- Trauma-related distress and grief
- Anxiety, anxious avoidance and specific fears
- Low self-confidence, self-doubt and low self-worth
- Mild OCD symptoms, where clinically appropriate
- Relationship difficulties and recurring relational patterns
- Cluster C personality patterns, including fear-based or avoidant tendencies
- Substance-use concerns after you have begun motivational and behavioural work
- Stress-related symptoms that feel physical or difficult to explain
It can also form part of a broader treatment plan when you need to work more closely with emotional patterns, deep fears or unresolved distress.
Hypnotherapy benefits vary from person to person. Some people find that it helps them recognise triggers, feel less overwhelmed by certain reactions, develop healthier responses and feel more connected to their goals.
Your clinician will not treat hypnotherapy as a quick fix. It works best when you enter the process with realistic expectations, openness and trust in the therapeutic relationship.
What Happens During a Hypnotherapy Session?
Your Journey at a Glance
-
First Session: This is an introductory chat to understand your goals, medical history, and any concerns you might have.
-
Building Trust: Your comfort is the main priority, so this time is also used to ensure you feel completely safe.
-
Second Session Onward: Active hypnotherapy begins, using guided relaxation and focused suggestions to help you.
-
Structure at BetterPlace: Expect 60 to 70 minutes of direct therapy, along with extra time to reflect and plan your next steps.
Your first hypnotherapy session focuses on understanding you before starting the therapeutic work.
Your clinician will speak with you about your concerns, symptoms, treatment history and expectations. They will also address any fears or misconceptions you may have about hypnosis, such as worrying that you will lose control or reveal things you do not want to discuss.
The first session also helps your clinician understand your level of suggestibility. Suggestibility refers to how readily you can engage with guided imagery, therapeutic language and focused attention. Some people respond more easily than others, but this does not mean that one person is stronger or weaker than another.
Clinical hypnotherapy relies heavily on language, trust and your ability to feel safe with the therapist. Your clinician will explain what they plan to do, answer your questions and make sure you feel comfortable before moving ahead.
The actual hypnotherapy process usually begins from the second session onwards. During the session, your therapist may guide you through relaxation, focused attention, imagery and carefully chosen therapeutic suggestions linked to your goals.
At BetterPlace, a session may involve around 60 to 70 minutes of direct therapeutic work, followed by time to reflect on the experience, check in emotionally and discuss next steps. Your clinician may schedule longer appointments when your care needs more time and support.
Is Hypnotherapy Safe and Evidence-based?
Hypnotherapy can be a safe complementary therapy when a trained and experienced clinician uses it appropriately. Research continues to explore how hypnosis affects attention, emotional processing and brain activity. Studies suggest that hypnosis involves changes in how certain brain networks communicate, but researchers are still working to understand exactly how these changes relate to therapeutic outcomes.
Read MoreIt is important to note that hypnotherapy does not suit everyone. Before starting, your clinician will assess whether it is the right approach for you.
You may need a different treatment route first if you have active psychosis, significant dissociation, are currently intoxicated or withdrawing from substances, or feel intensely afraid of losing control. A past history of serious mental health concerns may also require psychiatric input before hypnotherapy begins.
A good hypnotherapist will not rush you into the process. They will have relevant training, explain the approach clearly, answer your doubts and prepare you for possible emotional reactions after a session.
Trust matters. You should feel able to ask questions, set boundaries and share how the experience feels for you throughout the process.

FAQs About Hypnotherapy
No. You remain aware during hypnotherapy and can pause, respond or stop the session at any time. Your therapist guides the process, but you remain in control.
People respond differently to hypnosis. Your comfort, trust, expectations and suggestibility can influence how easily you engage with the process. Your clinician will assess this before recommending hypnotherapy treatment.
Hypnotherapy does not promise instant or dramatic change. Some people feel lighter or clearer after a session, while others need time and repeated work to notice meaningful progress.
Clinical hypnotherapy may support trauma-focused work for some people, especially when other therapies have helped but certain patterns still feel unresolved. Your clinician will first assess whether it is safe and suitable for you.
The number of sessions depends on your concern, treatment history, goals and response to therapy. Your clinician will review progress with you and recommend the next steps instead of using a fixed number for everyone.
Look for a clinician with relevant training, experience and a clear way of explaining the process. A good hypnotherapist should answer your questions, discuss safety, set realistic expectations and never pressure you into treatment.
