Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to achieve a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility. During this state, the therapist can help the client work on desired changes in behaviour, thoughts, or emotional responses.

Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind, which influences habits, behaviours, and emotions. The therapist guides the client into a relaxed state, making it easier to suggest new ideas or behaviour patterns, effectively facilitating change at a subconscious level.
