'Hypnotherapy near me' is one of the most popular searches for hypnotherapy, but 'Hypnotherapy on Zoom' is catching up fast. Now that so many of us are comfortable engaging in video calls, online hypnotherapy services are booming.
There's no doubt that therapists who choose to offer online hypnotherapy services are going to have to adapt their approach and techniques to work online. As well as the challenge of building a successful business, they also need to make sure that their clients receive the best quality experience possible. Online hypnotherapy need not and should not be a second-best.
Though it is possible to deliver a session via a regular phone, we can do so much better if we invest in the right equipment. This can range from basic audio and video lighting to more elaborate systems including a green screen, webinar software, streaming services, and even virtual reality technology. But take care of the basics first.
Firstly the hypnotherapist should invest in a reliable microphone that provides clear audio quality.
I prefer to use an external microphone that is plugged in to my computer. These things take a bit of getting used to, as you need to consider your position and volume in relation to the microphone. If you move around at lot when delivering then they may not be the best choice. Perhaps easier to use is a good headset with a built-in microphone. Be careful not to position that microphone under the nose though, as it can result in distracting heavy breathing the other end of the call.
A good-quality webcam is essential for providing hypnotherapy sessions through video chat applications. The camera that is built into your desktop or laptop may or may not be good enough. So if necessary upgrade to an external camera.
Additionally, the hypnotherapist should consider their working environment as it will have a huge impact on sound and video quality. Some rooms are naturally better suited to this with naturally good acoustics and lighting. If not, then investing in soundproofing to prevent any audio interference from outside sources can make a huge difference. Investing in lighting will make a huge difference to the quality of video. A green screen, if set up and lit properly, opens up a lot of options too as the hypnotherapist can then have any backdrop they wish.
Finally, it's important for the entrepreneur to make sure that they have a comfortable workspace. A good-quality chair and desk conducive to the therapists physical and mental well-being is best.
For those that wish to give up the costs of maintaining an office, online hypnotherapy gives the opportunity of being able to work from anywhere, and of course connect to potential clients worldwide. By investing in the right equipment, hypnotherapists can rest assured that they are doing all they can to provide quality hypnotherapy services. This will ultimately help them to earn a living while doing something they love.
