I got an e-mail asking why I do not provide hypnotherapy live over skype?
To be honest I have tried it, I had a couple of volunteers and did a few sessions of hypnosis over skype.
It varied from being totally successful to a problematic experience for both me and the client.
A very important consideration was the quality of the clients equipment, good quality head phones and a comfortable chair seemed to effect the ability to induce a trance state or deep relaxation, as most people seem to spend the minimum required on a head set and video cam it was a common problem.
Problems with back ground programs starting up and effecting the service due to no keyboard or mouse clicks from the client could also be a problem after some time of no action.
One big issue seemed to be from the type of chair used, most seemed to have either a very cheep and totally inappropriate setup including old kitchen chairs or small stools and even one using a kids toy stool.
So yes it does work but as far as charging a fee for hypnosis delivered over the internet live I can't provide it as yet, not without the possibility of upsetting clients and possibly giving them a poor service.
I'M not saying it won't happen but at this time its not a feasible option in most cases at this time
