Hypnotherapy is a powerful therapeutic technique that utilizes the natural state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility to facilitate positive change.
Far from the dramatic portrayals in popular media, clinical hypnotherapy is a gentle, collaborative process that helps you access your inner wisdom and resources.
During hypnotherapy sessions, you remain fully aware and in control while entering a deeply relaxed state similar to daydreaming or meditation. In this receptive state, your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and new perspectives, making it easier to overcome limiting beliefs, reduce anxiety, and create lasting behavioral changes.
Unlock your subconscious potential through guided hypnotherapy. Reprogram limiting patterns, enhance confidence, and promote relaxation with safe, AI-assisted sessions designed for lasting emotional and mental transformation.
Overcome mental barriers and build a growth mindset with coaching rooted in CBT and positive psychology to foster resilience and lasting change.
“Each person is a unique individual. Hence, psychotherapy should be formulated to meet the uniqueness of the individual's needs, rather than tailoring the person to fit the Procrustean bed of a hypothetical theory of human behaviour.”

It’s not advisable.Your Nuura experience is personalised to you, your goals, your patterns, your responses, your resources. The recordings and programs are tailored to your individual profile, meaning they’re designed to speak directly to your subconscious in a way that resonates with your needs.Because everyone’s mind works differently, sharing your app or recordings may not have the same effect for someone else, and could even feel out of sync for them.For the best results, encourage your family members to create their own profiles, so they can experience sessions designed uniquely for them.
Yes, in fact, we all go in and out of trance every day.Think about it: when you’re completely absorbed in a movie, lost in a book, or watching a game and forgetting the world around you, that’s a natural trance. Hypnosis works the same way; it simply directs your focus toward a goal while you’re in that state.Everyone can experience hypnosis because it’s part of the normal spectrum of awareness and attention, and your mind knows exactly how to follow along.
While both hypnosis and meditation involve focus and relaxation, they work in slightly different ways.Meditation often encourages observing your thoughts and being present, helping calm the mind and create awareness. Hypnosis, on the other hand, guides your mind toward specific goals or changes, such as breaking habits, reducing stress, or building confidence.In hypnosis, you’re usually actively receiving suggestions that your subconscious can respond to, whereas meditation is often more about watching and letting go.Both are safe, effective, and can complement each other, but hypnosis is the tool that helps your mind create change more directly.
You’ll know hypnosis is working because change often begins subtly and naturally.Sometimes you might notice small shifts right away, like a new perspective, calmer reactions, or easier choices. Other times, the effects build gradually over days or weeks, as your mind absorbs suggestions and integrates them into your habits and thinking.Even if you don’t feel something dramatic immediately, your subconscious is always listening and making adjustments.The key is trust: the more relaxed and focused you allow yourself to be, the more your mind can work, because change happens from the inside out.
Yes hypnosis is completely safe.It’s a natural and gentle state of mind that people drift in and out of every day, like when you’re daydreaming, driving on autopilot, or lost in a good movie. You’re always in control and aware of what’s happening.When guided by a qualified practitioner, hypnosis is a proven, therapeutic process that helps you create positive change by working with your subconscious in a calm and focused way.There are no side effects, only the potential for greater clarity, confidence, and well-being.So yes, hypnosis is safe and deeply empowering because it helps you reconnect with your own inner resources.
No, you cannot be made to accept suggestions you don’t want. Hypnosis works with your own unconscious mind, and it only responds to ideas that are aligned with your values and intentions. You remain fully in control the whole time, and any suggestion that doesn’t feel right to you simply won’t take hold.Think of it like a garden: your unconscious will only nurture the seeds you choose to plant. Anything else will simply drift away.
Not at all.Even though the word “hypnosis” comes from the Greek word “hypnos,” meaning sleep, hypnosis isn’t sleep. It’s actually a state of focused awareness — where your mind becomes calm, clear, and deeply attentive.You’ll usually hear and remember everything that’s said during your session. Some people feel so relaxed that time seems to blur a little, but you’re still aware, listening, and participating the whole time.It’s also a myth that you have to be completely relaxed to experience hypnosis. While many people do feel wonderfully calm, what truly matters is your focus, not how relaxed you are.So no — you won’t be asleep. You’ll simply be in a different kind of awareness… deeply present, comfortably in control, and open to positive change.
If you think you can’t be hypnotised, that would be very surprising, because we all go in and out of trance every day. Think about times you’ve been so absorbed in a book or a movie that you didn’t hear someone talking to you, or when you’ve driven somewhere and suddenly realised you don’t remember the journey. That state, that deep focus and absorption, is exactly what hypnosis is. You’ve already experienced it many times without even realising it.
Absolutely. You are always in control during hypnosis.All hypnosis is really self-hypnosis which means that everything that happens, happens with your permission and participation. Hypnosis isn’t something that’s done to you; it’s something that you do for yourself.It’s simply a natural state of focused awareness — like when you’re deeply absorbed in a book, a movie, or a daydream. You’re not asleep or unaware; in fact, you’re often even more aware.During hypnosis, you can choose to accept suggestions that feel right and useful for you, and let go of anything that doesn’t. You can open your eyes, move, or speak at any time.In truth, hypnosis helps you gain more control over your habits, your emotions, and the way you respond to life. It allows you to guide your mind in the direction you want it to go, because your focus becomes clearer, calmer, and more intentional.You’re not losing control… you’re learning how to use it beautifully.
During hypnosis, your brain enters a state that’s different from ordinary wakefulness, but still completely natural. Brainwave patterns shift, often into theta and alpha states, which are associated with deep relaxation, focus, and heightened receptivity. It’s the same state you drift into just before sleep or while daydreaming.During hypnosis, both sides of the brain work together in a way that’s a little different from ordinary waking states. Typically, the left hemisphere, which handles logical thinking, analysis, and language, becomes less dominant, so your mind is less caught up in judgment, overthinking, or self-criticism. At the same time, the right hemisphere, which governs imagination, intuition, and holistic thinking, becomes more active, letting you visualise, feel, and explore experiences in a fluid, creative way.It’s like a dance between the two sides: the left steps back, giving the right space to guide you, while the left still stays present enough to keep you grounded and safe. This balance is why you can experience vivid imagery, shift old patterns, and take on positive suggestions without losing control or awareness.Your brain, in this state, is harmonising both hemispheres, calm, focused, and open, so that change can happen naturally and effortlessly.
It’s impossible to get “stuck” in hypnosis. Hypnosis is simply a deep state of relaxation and focus, much like daydreaming. If a recording or session ends and you’re still relaxed, you’ll either drift into natural sleep or gently become aware of your surroundings on your own.Your unconscious mind always keeps you safe and in control, it knows exactly when to bring you back to full awareness. So even if it feels very deep, you’ll always come back feeling refreshed, clear, and calm
Yes, you can. When selecting your therapy, you can use the drop-down box to see a variety of therapists. You can listen to samples of their voices and choose the one you feel most comfortable with.
If you find it hard to visualise, don’t worry, you already know what you and the people around you look like, so just run it like a movie in your mind. Use your imagination as much as you can, even if it feels incomplete. Remember, your unconscious doesn’t think logically, it’s designed to keep you safe, which is why phobias and fears can appear. Your mind can still respond and relax, even if the images aren’t perfect.

Hypnosis is a completely natural state that you already experience every day—like just before falling asleep or right before waking up. You might notice it as daydreaming, getting fully absorbed in a book or movie, or forgetting the world around you. Some people feel a pleasant heaviness, others a sense of lightness, or even both. Each time you relax with HypnoBox, it usually becomes easier to sink deeper into that state.Tip: Try different inductions and deepenings to discover what feels most relaxing and effective for you.
Hypnotherapy is generally safe for most people, but there are situations where it may not be appropriate or should be used with caution:Severe Mental Health Conditions: If you have uncontrolled or severe mental health issues, such as certain types of psychosis or severe depression, hypnotherapy should only be used under the guidance of a licensed mental health professional.Epilepsy: People with uncontrolled epilepsy should avoid hypnotherapy, as the deep relaxation and suggestion may trigger seizures in rare cases.Vulnerability to False Memories: Hypnotherapy should not be used to try to recover memories of traumatic events, as this can sometimes create false memories or increase distress.Lack of Readiness: Hypnotherapy works best when a person is willing and motivated to change. If someone is not ready, sessions may be ineffective.Medical Emergencies: Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for medical treatment in urgent or life-threatening situations.Hypnotherapy and SchizophreniaHypnotherapy is generally not recommended for people with schizophrenia. Because schizophrenia can involve hallucinations, delusions, and difficulty distinguishing reality from imagination, hypnotic states, which rely on deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility, can sometimes increase confusion or distress.⚠️ Never listen to your audio when you are driving or operating machinery ⚠️Hypnotherapy is safe, gentle, and effective for most people when used appropriately.

Everyone is different, and the speed of change depends on the complexity of the issue and how ready your mind is to embrace it. Some people notice shifts immediately, feeling calmer, lighter, or more confident, while for others, transformation unfolds gradually over days or weeks.Hypnotherapy works with your subconscious, which integrates at its own pace. Daily practice, consistency, and openness to the process help your mind anchor new patterns more quickly.Remember: subtle progress is still progress. Each session reinforces your ability to think, feel, and act in ways that support your goals. Over time, these small shifts add up, creating lasting change tailored to you.Focus on What You WantIt’s important to focus on what you want, not what you want to avoid. Many people say, “I don’t want to feel this way anymore,” which keeps the mind locked on the problem. Instead, ask yourself: “How do I want to feel?”The more attention you give to the desired feeling, confidence, calm, joy, freedom, the more your subconscious mind begins to create it naturally. Hypnotherapy helps guide your focus, making it easier to step into that new experience and anchor it deeply within you.Because your mind responds to what you focus on, shifting your attention toward what you want allows positive change to unfold effortlessly, day by day, thought by thought.
Each session is approximately 15–20 minutes, long enough to guide your mind into a relaxed, receptive state while keeping it focused and effective. For best results, listen once a day, ideally at a quiet time when you can relax fully, perhaps just before sleep or shortly after waking, because your mind is naturally more open to positive suggestions. Daily consistency is more important than length; your subconscious learns best through gentle repetition, with space to integrate each change. After each session, take a moment to notice how you feel, every subtle shift reinforces your progress. Avoid listening multiple times per day. You subconscious mind needs time to process.
Unlike traditional, generic hypnotherapy scripts, Nuura is individually tailored, designed to be deeply personal, adaptive, and engaging. While standard recordings use a one-size-fits-all or off-the-shelf approach, Nuura integrates your individual goals, challenges, and experiences to make each session more relevant and effective.Nuura is trained in hypnotherapy principles, Ericksonian language, and NLP techniques, allowing the sessions to guide your subconscious mind gently, creatively, and naturally. This means the suggestions feel personal, alive, and easier to integrate into your everyday life.The result is a dynamic, immersive experience that goes beyond listening to words, it helps you anchor calm, confidence, and transformation, tailored to you.Because real change happens when your mind feels understood, engaged, and focused, not when it’s following a generic script designed for everyone else.Erikson – quote about requirement for hypno to be personalised.Achieving Your Goal with HypnotherapyStart by setting a clear intention for change. Ask yourself: “What is it I truly want to change in my life?” Hypnotherapy works best when you are at a threshold moment—when you feel, “Something has to change, it’s got to be me, and it’s got to be now.” That readiness activates your mind and body to embrace transformation.Next, scale your current experience from 1 to 10. Ten represents the strongest intensity of the problem, and one is the weakest. This simple tool helps you measure where you are now and notice the subtle shifts as your session progresses.During hypnosis, your mind becomes open and receptive, allowing you to explore solutions, release old patterns, and step toward your goal with ease.After your session, check in with yourself. Ask: “How do I feel now? Has the intensity shifted? What feels lighter, calmer, or freer?” Noticing these changes, even small reinforces the progress and helps your unconscious mind anchor new, positive patterns.Because every step you notice, every shift you feel, moves you closer to the person you want to become, naturally and effortlessly.
The word “hypnosis” comes from the Greek word “hypnos,” meaning sleep. It was first used in the 1840s by Scottish surgeon James Braid, who observed that people in a relaxed, trance-like state looked as if they were asleep, but were actually awake, focused, and deeply responsive to suggestion.Braid soon realised hypnosis isn’t sleep at all. It’s a natural state of focused awareness, something we all experience every day, like when you’re lost in a good book, a movie, or a moment of daydreaming. In that state, the conscious, analytical mind quiets down, and the subconscious becomes more open and receptive.Modern hypnotherapy uses this focused state to create positive change. It helps people let go of unhelpful patterns, calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and build confidence from within.In hypnosis, you remain fully in control, you can talk, move, or open your eyes at any time. It’s simply a way of using your natural mental focus to connect more deeply with your inner world, where real transformation begins.Because when the body relaxes and the mind opens, change doesn’t have to be forced—it can simply flow.
Daily Practice: For most goals, listening once a day is ideal, especially when starting. Your mind becomes familiar with the suggestions, and the patterns start to shift naturally.Best Timing: Choose a time when you can relax fully, free from distractions. Many people prefer just before sleep or after waking, because the mind is naturally more receptive.Avoid Overuse: Listening multiple times in one day is generally unnecessary and can reduce effectiveness. Your unconscious mind works best when it has space to integrate the changes.Consistency Over Duration: Short, consistent daily sessions are more effective than occasional long sessions. Even 15–20 minutes daily can create profound shifts over time.Check In: After each session, notice how you feel. Some subtle changes might appear gradually, and that awareness reinforces the transformation.
Begin by finding a comfortable place where you can relax, sit or lie down, and feel supported. Make sure there are no distractions, turn off your phone, dim the lights, and give yourself permission to be fully present.Start by taking a deep breath in, noticing how the air fills your lungs, and then slowly breathe out, longer than the inhale. That slow exhale is important because it naturally activates your parasympathetic nervous system, the part of your body that promotes calm, rest, and relaxation. You might notice your shoulders dropping, your muscles softening, and a gentle sense of peace spreading through your body.As you continue to breathe slowly and comfortably, allow your mind to focus on your breath, a word, or a gentle image, perhaps a calm beach, a flowing creek, or a warm flame. Each exhale helps you release tension, each inhale invites ease.And while you do this, you can notice your body naturally sinking deeper into relaxation, your mind becoming more open and aware, ready to receive positive suggestions and guidance.
