The Irish Hypnotherapy Association was established to increase awareness of the effectiveness of hypnotherapy as an excellent intervention for treating a wide range of challenges and problems. The vast majority of people still believe that hypnotherapy is best used to help people quit smoking or lose weight however, it's greatest strength and benefits can be experienced by people who cannot be helped any further by mainstream medicine.

For example, hypnotherapy can greatly assist chronic pain, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorders, enuresis, psoriasis and other skin conditions, warts, tinnitus, migraines, stammering and speech problems, psycho-sexual dysfunction, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety and many other challenges.
