Where in the UK are the most hypnotherapists?

To discover where in the UK are the most hypnotherapists I obtained data from the Hypnotherapy Directory and from the public registers of the NCH, BSCH, and UKCP. I excluded the small minority of therapists who did not have websites. Obviously there’s more hypnotherapists in big cities like London, but big cities also have more potential clients. The important point is to see where there’s a mismatch between total population and number of therapists.

The very high concentration in southern England is notable, especially in Bristol which is presumable due to the large training school located there. In Scotland there is a greater density in the large cities. The high density in Huntingdonshire is a curious finding, I don’t know why this is.

Unfortunately the map can’t really tell you, because we don’t know how many clients each hypnotherapist is seeing. A few of them are very successful, seeing up to 20 clients a week. But others are only seeing one client and are not even covering their overheads. You can see that there’s very little competition in the Western Isles of Scotland, but don’t move there till you’ve researched the likely level of demand!

From the same database which I compiled I’ve also created a pie chart showing how long hypnotherapists have been in practice. You can see the chart HERE. The preponderance of therapists having less than five years experience shows the very high turnover in the profession.

You can contact me through the contact form HERE to ask any question that’s not answered on this website. Every genuine inquiry gets a personal reply, not AI-generated, no sales pitch. You might have several questions- that’s not a problem. I am happy to advise anyone who’s thinking of training as a hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is a wonderful tool for helping people, and for self-help also, and for me it has been a very satisfying career, although it certainly wouldn’t suit everyone.
