I’m going to do a series of articles that connect you to articles from other coaching experts that I have found valuable for your coaching practice. This first one is on hypnotherapy techniques for coaches, from the Transformation Academy blog.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful mind–body technique that helps clients access deeper levels of awareness, clarity, and receptivity. When people hear the word “hypnotherapy,” they often imagine someone being magically “put under” or losing control. But real hypnotherapy is nothing like that. It’s simply a gentle, cooperative process that works through relaxation, focused attention, and guided suggestion.
In a coaching context, it becomes a supportive tool that helps clients quiet mental noise, uncover limiting beliefs, and tap into the subconscious patterns driving their behavior. Think of it as helping them shift out of everyday mental chatter and into a space where deeper insights can surface.
For coaches, integrating hypnotherapy techniques can enhance mindset work, accelerate breakthroughs, and create a safe path for clients to shift long-held inner blocks. Used properly, it becomes a supportive, empowering tool that helps clients move forward more quickly and with greater clarity.
I recently came across a comprehensive article on hypnotherapy and techniques coaches can use to support their clients on a deeper level. The article outlines what hypnotherapy is and includes some sample techniques, examples of breakthroughs, and how to integrate hypnotherapy into coaching sessions.
You can read it here. It’s a long article, but if this topic interests you, this article will give you all the information you need to do some hypnotherapy work at a basic level, or inspire you to take a course and develop that skill.
There is also an offer for a certification program for hypnotherapy at the end of the article (no link in the article) and my affiliate link is here. (Be sure to use the 50% off discount code: BLOG50.)
For coaches, these techniques can elevate the entire coaching experience. When clients are able to work at both the conscious and subconscious levels, breakthroughs happen faster, resistance softens, and new patterns take root more easily. Hypnotherapy can help clients step into who they truly are with confidence, clarity, and alignment.
