If you have decided to explore hypnotherapy to better understand and transform the thoughts and behaviors that negatively impact your life, choosing the right hypnotherapist is crucial. A skilled hypnotherapist can unlock your personal inner resources, leading to profound and lasting change.
Here’s some suggestions on how to find the best hypnotherapist who fits well with your therapy needs in Singapore.
1. Educational Background and Experience
While certification is essential for practicing hypnotherapy, a strong educational background and professional experience are equally important. This is because hypnotherapy is a therapy tool – therefore, the person who uses the tool must be fully competent in therapy. A hypnotherapist who has completed relevant university degrees or has professional experience in psychology or counseling will have a deeper understanding of hypnotherapy therapeutic techniques. This background can enhance the effectiveness of their hypnotherapy sessions.
Our hypnotherapists hold advanced graduate degrees (MSc and PhD). Their university education is complemented with the relevant counseling, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy credentials. We are researchers at heart – constantly reading and learning. So, we are always up-to-date with the latest therapy knowledge and advances, which you will benefit from.
2. Length of Practice vs. Length of Experience
Professional experience matters, but it is also important to distinguish between the number of years a hypnotherapist has been certified and how regularly they practice. Some therapists may have been certified for many years but they only see a few clients sporadically. Look for a hypnotherapist who practices regularly and has a steady flow of clients. Asking how many clients they typically see each month can give you a better idea of their current experience.
All of our hypnotherapists are senior therapists who have more than 12 years of full-time professional therapy experience. Some of our senior therapists have 25 years of professional therapy experience.
3. Recent Client Feedback
Recent client feedback is a valuable indicator of a hypnotherapist’s effectiveness and the satisfaction of their clients. Consistent positive feedback suggests that the hypnotherapist is actively practicing and successfully helping clients achieve their goals. Do not hesitate to ask for testimonials or reviews from recent clients.
Our hypnotherapists have been practicing therapy for decades before the recent explosion of new hypnotherapists in Singapore. We have thousands of handwritten and signed original testimonials from our 100% satisfied clients that you can read at our office during your initial free consultation.
4. Active Participation in Therapy
Be cautious of hypnotherapists who suggest that hypnotherapy is a passive, quick-fix solution. Effective hypnotherapy requires your active participation, commitment, and practice. A good hypnotherapist will guide you through the process, helping you work towards a mindset shift rather than offering instant solutions.
A typical session with us is between 2.5 to 3 hours, and there is no extra charge when we work with you beyond 3 hours. We may also offer you shorter sessions at no extra charge when it is deemed necessary. Your therapy success is our top priority.
5. Therapeutic Approach
Old-fashioned hypnotherapy techniques often rely on direct suggestions like “you will stop smoking,” which may offer short-term results but fail to address the underlying causes of your behavior. A skilled hypnotherapist will use techniques that work on a deeper level, helping you make unconscious changes that lead to lasting transformation. Ask potential hypnotherapists about their approach to ensure it aligns with your needs.
We use multi-pronged therapy approaches at our centre so you can be assured that you will achieve the objectives you wish through therapy with us.
6. Trust and Rapport
Trust and rapport are essential in hypnotherapy. Since you’ll be dealing with personal issues, it’s crucial to choose a hypnotherapist with whom you feel comfortable and supported. The right hypnotherapist will respect your individuality and remain focused on your goals without judgment.
To make the best choice, consider scheduling a face-to-face consultation with potential hypnotherapists. This meeting will help you gauge your comfort level and decide whether they’re the right fit for you.
We have trusted and reliable female senior hypnotherapists at our centre, should you be more comfortable working with a female therapist.
