Online Therapy Sessions

Welcome! Online therapy sessions offer a convenient and accessible way to receive support. All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with a webcam and microphone, such as a computer, tablet, or even your mobile phone. Enjoy therapy from almost anywhere, eliminating travel time, stress, and concerns about traffic or punctuality. Accessing support and learning coping mechanisms is now easier than ever.

I offer online therapy sessions at a cost of £75 per session. Payment is due 48 hours prior to your scheduled session via PayPal or BACS (bank transfer). There are no additional charges for the call itself, and each session will last approximately one hour. In the unlikely event of a connection issue, I will reconnect with you promptly, and you can easily return to the relaxed state you were in. Conducting sessions in your own home can enhance feelings of security and comfort. This is particularly beneficial if you experience agoraphobia, panic attacks, severe anxiety, mobility challenges, or other issues that make leaving home difficult. Sessions can also be conducted from your office if your situation permits.

The most crucial element for a successful session is a quiet, comfortable space where you will be free from interruptions from pets, children, or other people for about an hour. A comfortable chair with a headrest or a recliner is recommended. With Den at Wight-nosis, quality therapy is always within reach.

The process for online therapy is very similar to an in-person visit to my office, with the main difference being that initial paperwork is completed online before our first session. The personal assessment form, which you will complete, provides a foundation for us to build our working relationship and identify the areas you wish to explore and manage. This information allows me to develop a tailored approach to help you achieve your goals. It’s also an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. A strong rapport and feeling comfortable with your therapist are vital components for a positive outcome, as is your commitment to making our confidential sessions successful.

Each ongoing session will incorporate coaching and hypnotherapy. While our agreement to work together does not guarantee a “cure,” it offers a means to adjust or release old subconscious patterns and bring about significant positive changes in your lifestyle and outlook. Always consult your physician or healthcare provider if you have any questions regarding medical conditions.

You must acknowledge and accept responsibility for all outcomes. Through Hypnotherapy and/or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – the differences of which will be explained – you will learn to take control of your mind and thinking. The fee for each subsequent session is £75, payable 48 hours in advance. Sessions will be cancelled if payment is not received on time.

If you need to cancel a session, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice to avoid a charge. Confidentiality is assured, except in situations where there is a suggestion of danger or physical harm to yourself or another person.

If you have any questions or uncertainties about online hypnosis, especially if this is a new experience for you, please feel free to call me for a brief chat on 01983 866999 or email me at denclare3@gmail.com. My website, www.uk-hypnotherapy.com, offers further information about my training and experience as I enter my fortieth year in practice. Therapy is available for children aged 6 and older with signed parental/guardian permission. I am fully DBS registered and insured.

My website details many common applications of hypnosis. Some examples include: weight loss, confidence building, smoking cessation, managing fears and phobias, alleviating depression, preparing for a driving test, stopping nail-biting, improving concentration, overcoming shyness, dealing with panic attacks, memory recovery, managing agoraphobia, promoting relaxation, and overcoming fear of flying. These are just a few of the issues successfully addressed with hypnosis, including its effective application through online sessions.

The client is liable for any omissions and acknowledges and accepts full responsibility for all outcomes. The client agrees to consult their doctor before sessions where applicable and consents to their submitted data being collected and stored confidentially for a limited period.

Tips for Maximising Your Online Therapy Session:

  • Approach the session with a positive attitude and an expectation of achieving your goals; allow me to help you make it happen.
  • Ensure you will not be interrupted or disturbed – this is your dedicated time.
  • Turn off any devices or notifications that could cause a distraction.
  • Have a light snack beforehand, but avoid alcohol or strong coffee.
  • Visit the toilet before the session and ensure you are warm and comfortable.
  • Sit in a supportive chair or recliner, preferably with a headrest.
  • Use comfortable headphones if they are available.
  • Keep pets under control, ideally in another room.
  • Be courteous and honest during our sessions.
  • Please note that all sessions are conducted professionally. Any inappropriate conversation will result in the immediate termination of the session without a refund.

Your health and well-being are my primary concern. – Den
