AI image by LocalRankHypnotherapy uses focused relaxation and guided suggestion to work with habits and thought patterns that talk therapy alone doesn't always shift — commonly smoking cessation, anxiety and stress, weight-related habits, phobias and performance nerves. It sits alongside, not in place of, medical and psychological care, and Singapore has no licensing regime specific to the practice, so practitioners' training varies widely. This guide gathers currently operating hypnotherapy practices across Singapore, noting who runs each one, what they say they focus on, and the training or professional body each cites. Use it to compare approaches and credentials, then speak directly with a practitioner about your own situation before booking a session.
1. The Hypnosis Clinic
The Hypnosis Clinic operates from Novena Medical Centre under principal hypnotherapist Jab MacCardy, who trained under UK clinician Jonathan Garside-Atkinson. The clinic states MacCardy is a registered member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and a certified NLP practitioner with the American Union of NLP. Its website lists work on smoking cessation, anxiety, phobias, sleep difficulties, weight-related habits, fear of flying, public-speaking nerves and confidence, alongside self-hypnosis coaching. The clinic also markets itself toward Singapore's expatriate community, describing support for relocation stress and international athletes managing performance pressure. A free initial consultation is offered by video call or in person. Prospective clients should treat such marketing claims as the clinic's own description rather than a guaranteed outcome.
2. PETRA Hypnosis
PETRA Hypnosis has operated from Orchard Road since 2004 under director Fauziah Shah, whom the practice describes as a pioneer of hypnotherapy training in Singapore. It states Shah holds National Guild of Hypnotists credentials as a Board Certified Hypnotist and Certified Instructor, plus 5-PATH and 7th-Path self-hypnosis instructor certification and IACT/IMDHA hypnotherapist status, and that a team of additional therapists works alongside her. The site lists work on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, focus and memory concerns, fears and phobias, and psychosomatic or pain-related issues. PETRA also runs its own hypnotherapy certification courses for aspiring practitioners, separate from client sessions. Clients should ask which staff member would actually handle their own sessions before booking.
3. My Inner Child Clinic
My Inner Child Clinic is run by Bernadette Chin, whom the clinic describes as a psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist and nutritionist with a background in biomedical science and holistic nutrition. It states she holds a postgraduate diploma in integrative, evidence-based clinical hypnosis from the UK, is registered with the International Council of Psychotherapists and Singapore's Association of Hypnosis Professionals, and carries a further credential as a certified clinical trauma specialist. Based near Botanic Gardens MRT, the clinic says it works on inner-child and childhood trauma, couples work using the Gottman method, grief, eating disorders, habit change such as smoking and overeating, sleep difficulties, and general anxiety or low mood. It frames its approach as trauma-informed rather than purely symptom-focused.

4. Trans4mational Therapy Centre
Trans4mational Therapy Centre is the practice of Thom Bush, a UK-born hypnotherapist who states he has worked in private practice for around 25 years, including some 18 years based in Singapore before moving fully online in 2022. It describes his training as a diploma in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy in the Ericksonian tradition, alongside certification as an anxiety specialist and EFT level 3 practitioner status. Its site lists an unusually broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, procrastination, phobias, insomnia, smoking cessation, confidence, relationship issues and anger management. All sessions now run by video call rather than from a physical Singapore address, which suits clients wanting flexibility but not anyone who wants to meet in person. A free initial consultation is offered.
5. Sol Therapy
Sol Therapy is a Clarke Quay practice co-founded by Estee Ling, whom the practice describes as a clinical hypnotherapist and integrative neuroplasticity therapist holding memberships with the International Medical and Dental Hypnosis Association and the International Association of Counsellors and Therapists. Day-to-day sessions are handled by a wider team of therapists rather than by Ling alone. The practice says its approach draws on Ericksonian hypnotherapy, guided imagery and solution-focused techniques, and lists work on anxiety, depression, phobias, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sleep difficulties, chronic pain, addictive or unwanted habits, confidence, weight-related concerns and anger. It also runs a neuroplasticity-focused programme for chronic pain and fatigue conditions. Clients should confirm in advance which therapist they will actually see.

6. Collaborative Change by Hypnosis
Collaborative Change by Hypnosis is run from the Ubi area by Raymond Tay, a psychologist and member of the Singapore Psychological Society who holds an advanced certificate in clinical hypnosis alongside a graduate certificate in cognitive behavioural therapy. The practice describes his approach as integrative, combining hypnotherapy, CBT, coaching and psychometric screening tools rather than hypnosis alone. It lists work on smoking cessation, weight management, anxiety and depression, insomnia, phobias including public speaking and crowded places, trauma, relationship difficulties, and habits such as drinking, binge eating and gaming. Tay's psychology background distinguishes this practice from hypnotherapy-only providers, which may suit clients who want clinical psychology training alongside hypnosis. Sessions run from an Ubi Crescent office by appointment only.
7. Mind Culture
Mind Culture has operated in the Novena area since 2012 under founder and managing director Jeslyn Lim, whom the practice describes as holding advanced certification in 5-PATH hypnotherapy, certified 7th-Path self-hypnosis teacher status, and training as an Integral Eye Movement Therapy practitioner. It states Lim is a past president of the Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors Singapore and a member of the Singapore Psychological Society. The practice says it pairs hypnotherapy with neuroscience-informed behavioural methods, targeting behavioural change in adults alongside cognitive-focused sessions for children, and offers counselling for clients of any age. Because Mind Culture and Lim also appear under a related psychology-clinic brand at the same address, ask directly which practitioner a booking involves.
8. A Kind Place
A Kind Place runs a dedicated hypnotherapy service near Somerset led by Mandd Fernando, whom the practice describes as holding a diploma in clinical hypnotherapy, certification as an NLP master practitioner, and membership with the Complementary Therapist Accredited Association. Its site lists work on depression, phobias, addiction, trauma, imposter syndrome and grief, plus insomnia through separate corporate workshops. The practice positions hypnotherapy as a complement to a client's existing counselling rather than a replacement for it, and says sessions help clients process difficult past experiences and work toward anxiety-related and weight-related goals through relaxation and reframing. That framing, as an add-on alongside talk therapy, may suit clients already seeing a counsellor more than someone seeking a first point of contact.

How to choose
- Check what the practitioner actually states about their training — a diploma or certification from a named body such as the National Guild of Hypnotists, ACHE, 5-PATH, IMDHA or IACT — rather than relying on the title "hypnotherapist" alone, since Singapore has no licensing regime specific to the practice.
- Match the practitioner to your main goal, whether that's smoking cessation, a specific phobia, weight-related habits, performance nerves or general anxiety, since practices differ in which concerns they say they focus on, how they describe their method, and roughly how many sessions they typically suggest for a concern like yours.
- Ask whether hypnotherapy is offered as a standalone service or alongside psychology, counselling or medical care, and confirm whether the person you would actually see for your sessions is the named lead practitioner or another member of a larger clinical team, since listed founders don't always see every client.
- Treat any claims about outcomes, including guaranteed results or specific success rates, as the practice's own marketing rather than an established fact, and ask directly what a typical course of sessions involves, how many sessions are usually recommended, and how progress would be assessed along the way.
- Weigh practical factors such as whether sessions run in person, online, or both, the location and transport access if you would attend in person, and how a free consultation, where one is offered, is structured, so you can assess fit with a practitioner before paying for a full session.
