Hypnotherapy, or more precisely hypnopsychotherapy, is psychotherapy that includes hypnotic procedures with the client's consent and when deemed appropriate by the psychotherapist. Therefore, it is important that when choosing a hypnotherapist, you ensure they also hold psychotherapy accreditation issued by the Romanian College of Psychologists.

The advantage of hypnotic trance in psychotherapy lies in the possibility of accessing repressed emotional conflicts but especially latent (unconscious) and unsuspected psychic resources. Thus, with clinical hypnosis, unprocessed internal states can be more effectively processed and integrated, and inner resources can be accessed and used for beneficial, therapeutic purposes.

Besides psychotherapy, clinical hypnosis also has applications in the medical field and in enhancing sports and intellectual performance.
