How Much Does Hypnotherapy Cost In Melbourne?
Fee's vary as in any profession. The key thing is to make sure that the Therapist you are seeing is properly trained and a member of the relevant industry associations.
Being a member of an association demonstrates that the Therapist is properly accredited, insured, supervised and undertakes ongoing training.
When you are seeking significant life change through therapy, paying for someone that is experienced and properly trained will prove far more cost effective than taking a chance on someone unqualified, however well meaning they may be.

The Cost of Hypnotherapy and the real Value it represents to you.
When considering the cost of Hypnotherapy it's important to understand that this is a short term therapy. Where most talking therapies often need to extend in to years in order to be effective, Hypnotherapy is usually completed over a number of sessions a minimum of 3 sessions for straightforward issues or 8 to 12 sessions for particularly complex issues e.g. some addictions, depressions or where a very significant amount of weight needs to be lost and trauma and/or emotional triggers need to be resolved in order to achieve long term success. Sometimes one issue is resolved and the client will realise that they are now ready to work on another. Occasionally the issues that seem most debilitating my clients are the easier to resolve, panic and phobias for example are usually surprisingly quick to correct with Hypnosis techniques, usually people feel better and hopeful after the first session and by the third are confident that they're no longer phobic about the issue the came to address.
Some Therapists offer one session solutions to cover everything, I do not personally agree with this practice as in my opinion it is simply not realistic, these therapists tend to charge a significant amount for this one session often placing blame on the client for lack of success. Therapy is always a collaboration, there are no guarantees, however we are working with neurological processes. Hypnotherapy cost may seem higher than other therapies per session, however it is very cost effective as much fewer sessions are generally required, unlike counselling which may require ongoing sessions often for months and even years, Hypnotherapy can achieve results in relatively few sessions.
