How do UK Hypnotherapists feel about working online?

Research exploring the psychological factors or delivering hypnosis via videoconferencing

This presentation will provide an interesting perspective on the development of online work in the hypnotherapy profession. As part of an MSc Psychology, a mixed-methods approach was used to explore the UK hypnotherapist’s attitudes, acceptance and use of delivering hypnotherapy via videoconferencing. This presentation will not only provide information about how hypnotherapists work in the UK, but it will also help practitioners understand the psychological factors that make us behave in this way and the future of online work for business and educational development.
