This page contains links to download two documents: The factsheet is a plain-language introduction to clinical hypnotherapy and where it can help. The references document sits behind it with full citations for every area, including an honest note on where the evidence is well established and where it’s still developing. Download whichever is useful to you.

These documents are provided for general information only and do not constitute medical or psychological advice.  They are not a substitute for individual assessment, diagnosis or treatment by a qualified health professional. If you’re currently unwell or in crisis, please contact your GP or, in an emergency, 000.

Evidence quality varies by topic, as set out throughout the references document; where research is limited, we’ve said so rather than implied otherwise.  Citing external research does not imply that its authors, institutions or publishers endorse Newcastle Clinical Hypnotherapy or any technique described here.

Citations are current as of July 2026 – if a link no longer resolves, please let us know.
