What is a Hypnotherapist? 

Hypnotherapy is a type of hypnosis used by health professionals to help you overcome a mental or physical condition, including trauma and addiction. It can also help build positive habits. If you want to try hypnotherapy but you’re concerned about how it works, your hypnotherapist is there to answer any questions before you commit to anything. 

Initially, you’ll have a friendly chat about the problem you’re facing and the methods that will be used to address it during the hypnotherapy. After that, your therapist will bring you into a relaxed state where you will work on what you want to change. Your therapist will then bring you out of your trance. Always make sure you discuss your intention to start hypnotherapy with your doctor first, as it isn’t advisable for people with certain health conditions. 

What’s the average cost of Hypnotherapy? 

The cost of a hypnotherapist can vary widely depending on the type of service and how long you need it for. To give you a clearer picture, we’ve put together a handy breakdown of average hypnotherapy costs based on Canadian professionals: 

Average cost (per session) $175
Minimum cost (per session)$150
Maximum cost (per session) $200

Factors influencing costs 

The cost of your hypnotherapy session will be impacted by a few key factors, including: 

  • Type of hypnotherapy 

  • Location

  • Online vs. in-person sessions 

  • Experience 

Type of Hypnotherapy 

There are different types of hypnotherapy to resolve different problems. Some of these are more expensive than others. For example, specific hypnotherapy programmes to stop smoking or lose weight are sometimes more expensive than general hypnotherapy sessions. 

It’s a good idea to be clear about what you want to get out of the session from the outset so that your hypnotherapist can provide you with the best service for your situation. 

Location 

Hypnotherapy sessions tend to cost more in major cities, to reflect the higher cost of living. Here’s a rough breakdown of average costs in three major cities across Canada: 

LocationAverage cost (per session)
Vancouver $170
Toronto$150
Montreal $105

Online vs. in-person sessions

You might be surprised to hear that hypnotherapy is a service that can be effectively carried out online. This may be a better option if you’d prefer to have the session from the comfort of your own home. It’s also cheaper as the hypnotherapist doesn’t have to factor in travel costs! 

Experience 

It is important to opt for a professional who is suitably certified to practice. Hypnotherapy training varies widely, from home how-to videos to a weekend workshop and more intensive training programmes that require a certain number of hours of training. 

As a general rule of thumb, the more experienced and qualified your hypnotherapist is, the more they’ll charge. If you’re unsure, always ask for proof of certification and testimonials from past clients. 

How to keep Hypnotherapy costs to a minimum 

If you’re looking to hire a hypnotherapist on a budget, here are our top tips and tricks for keeping costs down: 

  • Ask for price packages - Many hypnotherapists will reduce the hourly fee for your hypnotherapy sessions if you buy them in bulk rather than individually. Before committing to multiple sessions, make sure you have an initial consultation with your hypnotherapist to make sure that their approach suits you.

  • Ask if your hypnotherapist operates on a sliding scale - A sliding scale is something that therapists use to determine their price based on your income. If you are a student or on a low-wage, you may be able to get a discounted price.

  • Opt for a newly qualified hypnotherapist - If your hypnotherapist is just starting in their career, they may want to build their experience and client base, which means they might charge you a discounted fee.
