Do doctors in Brisbane recommend hypnotherapy?

 

  • These days many doctors – GPs and specialists – recommend hypnotherapy for their patients when they feel it will be supportive of their medical care. Hypnotherapy is an established, stand-alone practice with a solid evidence base for efficacy. 
  • Referral or recommendations to hypnotherapists from medical specialists is usually more about awareness of our scope of practice, and having quality practitioners to send patients to.
  • You do not need a medical or allied health referral to see a clinical hypnotherapist, but you may choose to discuss it with your care provider.

 

The entryway to Brisbane Hypnosis Centre.We have been working in the same location in Everton Park, Brisbane, for nearly 30 years, and we have gained and maintained a good reputation amongst the medical community. Of the Brisbane medical professionals who send their patients to us, we most commonly receive referrals from gastroenterologists, GPs, psychiatrists and pain management specialists. We’ve also worked in support of medical care provided by oncologists and palliative care providers. 

Surgeons often happily refer their patients to hypnotherapists to quit smoking prior to their surgery.

Allied health professionals, such as physiotherapists, psychologists, dieticians and occupational therapists have also found benefit for their patients by recommending hypnotherapy as complementary support to their care.

We always work within our scope of practice, and in respectful support of any other care you are receiving.
