Clinical hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy in Goa & Online with a Certified Hypnotherapist
Safe, evidence-informed hypnotherapy with Latika Gulyani to ease anxiety, release old patterns, overcome fears and build lasting confidence.
Overview
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses hypnosis, a natural, focused and deeply relaxed state, to work with the subconscious mind. In this state you stay aware and in control, but the mind becomes more receptive to new perspectives, helpful suggestions and emotional healing.
At The Mind Mentor, hypnotherapy is always combined with psychotherapy. We first understand what is going on and what you want to change, then use hypnosis to reinforce new ways of thinking, feeling and responding.
Goa has a special place in the history of hypnosis: the Goan-born Abbé Faria was one of the first to show that hypnosis comes from the power of the subject’s own mind, not from the hypnotist.
What a hypnotherapy session feels like

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. Hypnosis is a natural state similar to being absorbed in a book or film. You remain aware, cannot be made to do anything against your will, and can open your eyes at any time.
Can everyone be hypnotised?
Most people can experience hypnosis. It is a skill that tends to deepen with practice, and it works best when you feel safe and willing.
Does online hypnotherapy work?
Yes. Online hypnotherapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions, as long as you are in a quiet, private space with a stable internet connection and headphones.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
Some specific issues, such as a single phobia or habit, may need only a few sessions. Deeper or long-standing concerns usually need more. Your plan is reviewed together as you progress.
Will I remember what happened during hypnosis?
Usually yes. Most people remember most or all of the session and describe it as feeling deeply relaxed and calm.
Is hypnotherapy a replacement for medication?
No. Hypnotherapy can work alongside medical or psychiatric care, but never stop or change medication without speaking to your doctor.
