A hypnotherapist is a trained professional who helps the distressed person understand how they can make changes to their life in the future. They do this through hypnotherapy sessions with the goal of helping the patient deal with the seriousness of the problem in a more realistic perception of it.

Hypnotherapy works by going through a series of steps.

It starts by helping the patient relax into a trance, then this followed were the hypnotherapist offers a problem and solution, the patient then accept and adopts a new way of dealing with this problem, and finally the session is ended where the patient wakes.
