Hypnotherapy involves the application of hypnosis as a tool within a therapeutic setting to bring about positive change within the client. This change will only be effective if it is a change that the client wishes to make. In layman's terms, hypnosis alone can do nothing other than instil a sense of relaxation, but in the hands of a skilled therapist can be used to facilitate positive change within the psyche of the client. There are two main approaches to hypnotherapy both of which seek to work at a subconscious level.
