How Zoom hypnotherapy sessions work

Zoom sessions at Norwest Wellbeing are live one-to-one appointments with Paul or Rebecca Smith. You pay the full fee at booking, receive your join link by confirmation email, and join from a quiet room at home.

Last reviewed 8 August 2026

A Zoom session is a live, one-to-one clinical appointment with Paul or Rebecca Smith, delivered by video instead of in our Norwest consulting rooms. It is not a recording: your practitioner works with you in real time, using the same techniques and session structure as an in-clinic visit.

Booking and payment

You book a Zoom session the same way as any appointment, at /appointments or by phoning (02) 8069 9777. For Zoom, the full session fee is paid online at booking by card. There is no deposit split. Sessions are available Australia-wide, and Zoom is the only option if you live more than 30 km from the clinic.

Your join link

Your Zoom join link arrives in your booking confirmation email. Keep that email handy, at your appointment time, click the link and your practitioner will meet you in the session. You will also receive SMS reminders before your appointment.

What you need on the day

Set yourself up before the session starts:

  • A quiet, private room where you won't be interrupted
  • A device with a camera and microphone
  • A stable internet connection
  • Headphones (recommended)
  • A comfortable chair or recliner

Our Zoom setup checklist walks through each of these step by step.

During the session

The appointment runs like an in-clinic session: your practitioner talks with you, then guides the hypnotherapy work while you sit back comfortably. An initial consultation runs up to 90 minutes; returning consultations run up to 60 minutes. Complete your intake form before the session so your practitioner can prepare. See intake forms explained.

Common questions

Q: When do I get my Zoom link? A: It is included in your booking confirmation email, sent as soon as your booking is created. If you can't find it, check your spam folder or contact hello@norwestwellbeing.com.au.

Q: Do I pay a deposit for a Zoom session? A: No. Zoom appointments are paid in full online at booking. The $50 deposit arrangement applies to in-clinic bookings only.

Q: Can I have my session from anywhere in Australia? A: Yes. Zoom sessions are available Australia-wide, and are the standard option for anyone more than 30 km from the Norwest clinic.
