A Practical Hypnotherapy Book for Every Stage of Your Career
Running a hypnotherapy practice brings both rewards and challenges. From creating effective therapy plans, to handling ethical questions, to building a thriving business. Hypnotherapists face a wide range of situations that don’t always have quick or obvious answers.
The Hypnotherapist’s Companion brings together clear, practical advice on the everyday issues that arise in hypnotherapy practice. Written by Debbie Waller, an experienced trainer, supervisor and hypnotherapist, this book is both a supportive guide for new practitioners and a valuable quick reference for more experienced therapists and supervisors
Essential Skills and Strategies for Your Hypnotherapy Practice
The content of The Hypnotherapist’s Companion is inspired by real-world questions asked by students, supervisees, and practising therapists. You can read it cover to cover, or dip into individual sections when you need quick guidance. Either way, it’s a book you’ll keep returning to whenever a new situation arises in your therapy practice. Inside you’ll find:
- Therapy plans and flexibility – the unique ‘therapy loop’ shows you how to balance structure with adaptability so your hypnotherapy sessions flow naturally.
- Developing your skills – practical ways to build confidence, refine your technique, and deliver effective therapy.
- Running your business – essential advice on marketing, administration, and keeping your hypnotherapy practice sustainable.
- Troubleshooting and supervision support – expert answers to the “What now?” moments therapists often bring to supervision.
- Questions from the front line – answering questions from practising therapists that reflect real-world issues in hypnotherapy.
