• Calm, reassuring voice on video
• Comfortable with video calls and basic tech
• Clear communication and listening
• Basic social media or website skills

• Hypnotherapy is not a statutory regulated profession in the UK, so check training and professional body membership
• Professional indemnity insurance, and check that your policy covers online work and clients in other parts of the UK
• Have a plan for clients who become distressed during a remote session, such as an emergency contact and signposting to support
• Keep video calls and client notes secure, and check your data protection duties, including ICO registration
• Avoid promising cures and follow ASA and CAP guidance on health claims

Startup costs are typically around £1,200 to £4,500, depending on your training, insurance and the website and video set-up you choose. These are estimates, so get real quotes for training and indemnity cover first.

Monthly revenue is typically around £300 to £2,500, depending on how many clients you take and how you promote your sessions. This is an estimate of revenue, not profit, and building a client base can take time.

Check training and professional body membership, since hypnotherapy is not statutorily regulated. Also check that your indemnity insurance covers online work across the UK, your plan for distressed clients, secure video and notes, ICO registration, and ASA and CAP claims guidance.
