Hypnotherapy for Acne
If you are struggling with the distressing physical and emotional impacts of acne, painful spots, squeezing and picking, then hypnotherapy could provide a solution to tackling the problem.
Overcoming Problems of Acne with Hypnotherapy
If you are fed up with the distressing cycle of painful spots, squeezing, picking and the unsightly scars? You are not alone!
Many of my clients come to see me having exhausted every other remedy, such as creams, medication, nutritional plants and diets because their symptoms continue to persist. Maybe you are seeking a totally new approach to tackling your acne problem in an attempt to find a long-term solutions with minimal side effects.
Hypnotherapy could offer you the solution you are seeking. I help people to identify the triggers and underlying root causes of their acne, and support them in their return to clear, healthy skin and emotional wellbeing.
What are the Symptoms of Acne?
Despite being one of the most common dermatological problems, acne is still stigmatised and frowned upon. This stigma around acne makes it even more difficult to deal with.
Below are some of the common physical and emotional side effects you may suffer from:
- Irritating spots, boils, black heads or cysts on your face, back or chest
- Inflamed and sensitive skin
- Breakouts triggered by stress or anxiety
- Self conscious of your skin
- Prone to picking or squeezing spots

What are the Psychological Effects of Acne
Acne can have a negative impact on more than just your skin and appearance. It can take a serious toll on both your emotional and psychological wellbeing. Many people who suffer with acne often develop additional conditions such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and poor self-image. This toxic combination can results in a decreased quality of life, isolation and loneliness.
Acne and self-esteem go hand in hand which can lead to developing a distorted perception of your body. This negative thinking can cause you to obsess over your skin imperfections while at the same time totally ignoring your other positive qualities. This constant fixation on your acne can result in a negative self-image and low sense of self confidence.
Many people suffering with acne feel self-conscious about their scars and blemishes and find themselves resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Isolation and avoiding social interaction is common place, whereas others may decide to grow their hair longer in order to use it as a shield to conceal the acne.
The psychological effects of acne can also have a negative impact on personal relationships, especially with those of the opposite sex. These psychological effects can be far-reaching, impacting not only your physical appearance but also your mental well-being.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help Treat Acne
There is a powerful connection between the mind and body and as such this is where hypnotherapy can be an effective tool in treating acne.
Hypnosis works with your unconscious mind so a therapist can quickly get to the underlying root causes of your skin condition. I will teach you valuable techniques that will help you to stop picking and squeezing, and help you react to stress and anxiety in a positive far more healthier way.
The process of employing hypnotherapy as a process for treating people with acne is a brief intervention, with the majority of people experiencing positive results after just a few sessions.
Hypnotherapy can help you in the following ways:
- Get to the root of your acne
- Correct unhelpful, subconscious beliefs
- Change the way you think and feel
- Learn valuable techniques and skills
- Enjoy healthier, clear skin

What My Clients Say
Jason Osborne
I shall be forever bewildered by the effectiveness of hypnotherapy. I had always remained sceptical until my very last session, then the “weight” that suddenly lifted was both physical and emotional and continues to benefit both myself and those around me three years on – thank you Donna.
