Insight hypnotherapy
Access the essence from relaxation and focus.
As a psychosocial and hypnotherapist, I assist in finding relief from a wide range of psychological and physical challenges. With empathy and attention, I guide clients through their transformation process.
Yula Altchouler
My approach begins with creating a safe and supportive environment.
Together, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and behavior influence each other, and the role of (family) history and personal dynamics. Through hypnotherapy, I help you discover your own answers and solutions. I then guide you in taking concrete steps forward.
From my personal experience as an immigrant, I have sensitivity and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds. Language, stories and metaphors are important tools in hypnotherapy.
I offer therapy and coaching in Dutch, Russian (both native languages) and English.
I am trained as a psychosocial and hypnotherapist at the Hypnos Academie. As a registered therapist, I am affiliated with NBVH , the Dutch Association of Hypnotherapists (licence 2024011001) Additionally, I am registered with the RBCZ, the Dutch Register of Complementary Healthcare Practitioners, licence 118584.
In addition I am a certified, independent confidant (LIVP).
“Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for realising positive changes and exploring new paths.”

How it works: the trajectory
An individual approach
After a short introduction call, we plan an intake. During this extensive conversation we discuss the changes you want to achieve.
I then devise your individual treatment plan. During each follow-up session we discuss this treatment and adjust it according to what has changed and needed at the moment.
In addition to therapeutic conversations, I apply various methods and techniques:
Wat is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a form of short-term therapy (5-12 sessions) in which we work with limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns. Among other techniques, hypnotherapists use hypnotic trance: a state of deep relaxation and increased focus.
Medical hypnosis is a form of evidence-based therapy, which means that its effect has been scientifically proven for physical conditions like chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome.
When administered by a trained healthcare provider, hypnosis is considered a safe and effective complementary treatment .
