This question can be answered from several perspectives, taking into account individual needs, the nature of the issues, and the client's readiness for certain therapeutic interventions.
PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING
This is a process in which clients talk with a psychologist, analyze problems, learn new skills, and change their thinking and behavior. Counseling often:
– Is suitable for those who want to understand their issues and seek long-term solutions.
- Is based on a reflection process that helps them become aware of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
- Is used for addressing relationship issues, emotional difficulties, self-esteem concerns, professional or family challenges, and parenting issues.
– Is effective when regular support and long-term emotional health improvement are needed.
HYPNOTHERAPY
This is a faster, deep-acting method that works with subconscious beliefs, memories, and behavior patterns through hypnosis. Hypnotherapy can be beneficial when:
– There is a specific problem that needs to be addressed quickly (e.g., phobias, trauma, anxiety, addictions, habit changes).
– A person is open to working with the subconscious mind and can easily enter a hypnotic state.
– It is necessary to access deeply rooted beliefs and emotional blockages that cannot be easily resolved through conscious discussions alone.
– It is used in combination with other methods, such as psychological counseling, to achieve more effective results.
WHICH METHOD IS BETTER?
There is no universal answer. Some people benefit more from psychological counseling, others from hypnotherapy, while for some, the best results are achieved by combining both methods.
If the issue is long-term and requires deep self-reflection, starting with counseling may be beneficial. If a person is ready for a quicker transformation and has a specific goal, hypnotherapy can be an effective way to achieve the desired results in a shorter time.

If the reason behind the issue is truly clear and its awareness has already brought partial relief, psychological counseling or focused self-work (changing thinking patterns, developing new skills, and applying practical methods) may be sufficient.
If the cause is consciously known, but the issue still persists, it may be deeply rooted in the subconscious. In this case, hypnotherapy can help not only confirm what you already knew but also reveal new aspects of the issue. Additionally, through hypnotherapy, we can rewrite emotional responses or beliefs that are preventing change.
Example: If you know that your anxiety stems from excessive criticism received in childhood, but you still struggle to accept feedback—mere awareness may not be enough. Hypnotherapy can help rewrite this internal response.
Another example: If you understand that you avoid certain situations due to heavy past experiences, but consciously feel ready to change, counseling can help clarify an action plan.
The key is not just to understand but to change internal attitudes, beliefs, and thinking patterns.
Your subconscious mind knows all the answers you need.

In-person meetings are more recommended when a stronger emotional connection is needed, when you seek a safe and comfortable therapeutic space, or when there is a need to step away from your daily environment.
Online sessions are ideal for clients who value time efficiency or prefer the convenience of attending sessions from home, work, or any other location. Remote sessions open up opportunities to access therapeutic services while living in another city or even another country.
It is important to ensure a suitable environment so that you can fully relax and focus on the therapeutic process.
Both psychological counseling and hypnotherapy can be effective whether conducted in person or online.
What do you prefer: in-person connection or convenience?
Each client's situation is unique, and therefore, changes are experienced and noticed differently. Some clients notice changes immediately after a psychological consultation or hypnotherapy session. They describe it as a sense of relief, feeling calmer, or having newfound hope.
Others experience gradual, accumulating changes—work becomes smoother, relationships with loved ones improve, and overall, life feels more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Meanwhile, some can identify their progress only in retrospect — for example, "I haven't had a migraine attack in a year," or "I now accept compliments with ease and feel confident," or "I said 'no' and didn’t feel guilty."
Everyone’s journey is different, and transformation unfolds in its own time.
PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING
is often a continuous process that involves deep self-exploration, belief transformation, and the development of new skills.
- Some situations (e.g., parenting-related concerns, temporary life difficulties) can be addressed within a few sessions (3–6 consultations).
- Deeper, more ingrained issues (e.g., low self-esteem, long-term anxiety, relationship challenges) usually require 10 or more sessions, depending on the client’s pace.
- Therapy can also take place over the long term (several months or years) if the goal is a profound transformation of internal mechanisms.
can bring about faster changes as it works directly with the subconscious mind.
- Some specific issues (e.g., phobias, emotional eating, self-esteem blocks) can be resolved within 1–3 hypnotherapy sessions.
- More complex cases (e.g., childhood trauma, deeply rooted beliefs, persistent anxiety) may require 3–6 sessions or an individually tailored process.
The number and frequency of the sessions are highly individual and depend on the client's unique circumstances, level of engagement, and collaboration in achieving the desired therapeutic outcomes.
