Hi everyone, we're still busy working away behind the scenes, adding new information to the site, whilst also working on some of your projects in the background. However, we would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little more about who we are and what we do. We have added a page which explains this in more detail (linked above), but simply, we create resources for members of the public looking for hypnotherapy, resources for practicing hypnotherapists and hypnotherapy teachers. You will also find resources and articles relating to other healthcare, counselling and psychology fields. If there's something you need - and you can't find it in our store - please just contact us to discuss your need. If we think there's a market for it, we'd be happy to include it in our … [Read more...] about More about who we are and what we do

Attention all Hypnotic Universe hypnotherapy clients
Hello everyone, we hope you're having a great weekend so far. We just wanted to let you know of an upcoming change regarding the way that we deliver our telehealth appointments. From today, our we will be delivering our online therapy via Doxy.Me. We recommend connecting to Doxy.Me 10-15 minutes before your appointment time, so that you can download any apps or browser extensions and create a patient profile, if these are required.

Video call alternative to Zoom and MSTeams?
In this post, we suggested a Zoom alternative that you might already be paying for. However, we've also received a suggestion from a video-call provider, who are used frequently by GP's and some NHS facilities. And the best news? It's free! Obviously I can't guarantee it will stay that way, but it's worth giving it a go. I took a look last night and it does look very promising. Check out Doxy.Me now. Need help? We offer hypnotherapy both online and face to face, as well as in your own home, if you're a blue badge holder living within approx' 10 miles of WF14 9ED.

Thoughtful Thursday
It's Friday-eve folks, and we're kicking it off by launching a new, regular post which encourages you to join in and share your thoughts, experience and ideas. And we have to tell you, we're pretty excited about it! The new spot is called Thoughtful Thursday and the intention is to post it weekly, on a Thursday. This week's question is: What's the biggest obstacle(s) that you had to overcome in order to become a hypnotherapist? As for myself, I had a few obstacles that I needed to work on. Some were solved relatively quickly, but one of the issues took a lot of work, as it was fundamental to my personality. Intrigued? The thing is, I'm bit of an introvert really and didn't always find it easy to talk to people, even though I wanted to help them. So, I worked hard making some … [Read more...] about Thoughtful Thursday
Zoom alternative
Edited to add: check out Doxy.Me for a FREE alternative to both Zoom and MSTeams. Hopefully some of you might find this tip helpful... Zoom have now starting enforcing the 40 minute limit for their free accounts. To be honest, the amount they're charging for a paid account probably isn't cost prohibitive for most people, but it is worth checking whether you have access to similar services, that you're already paying for. If you have a paid subscription to Microsoft 365, then you likely have access to MS Teams for no additional charge. Having done a spot of Googling a few days ago, it did seem that MS subscribers should be able to access MS Teams without further charge. However, I also came across some very conflicting information. Hence, I've done some testing of my own and can … [Read more...] about Zoom alternative

Weekly ‘drop in’ Q&A, anyone?
Because we know that people often have a lot of questions around hypnosis, hypnotherapy practitioner training and related areas, we're pleased to announce that we'll be starting some regular Q&A's! You can ask questions at any time, but we thought this would be a nice way of answering your questions a bit more in-depth, whilst also getting to know you better.
