The Solutions Hypnose team

Solutions Hypnose

Our story

It all began in Montreal in 2019, at the initiative of Guillemette Moreau, hypnotherapist.

The starting observation is a simple one, and it has not changed: hypnotherapy suffers from a paradox. It is a practice that produces real results, yet it operates in a largely unregulated setting: anyone can call themselves a hypnotherapist, a few days of training is enough to walk away with a "certificate", and the wildest promises sit alongside the most serious work.

For someone looking for help, the consequence is concrete: it is very hard to know who to turn to.

The founding idea of Solutions Hypnose was therefore not to create a practice, but a standard: to bring together genuinely trained practitioners, agree on shared requirements, and make them visible. A network in which the name commits every one of its members.

The network then grew: in Quebec, then Ontario, France and Morocco, as we met colleagues as committed as we are. Keeping the same method: we do not recruit to cover a region, we bring someone in when they match our standard of technical skill and human quality.

Our mission

To make quality support available everywhere we are, and to let everyone know exactly who they are dealing with.

That translates into three structuring commitments.

• A shared standard of practice. Our practitioners do not each work in their own corner: they share ethical requirements, continuing education and regular exchange. What you find in Quebec City will no doubt differ in style from what you find in Montpellier. But the same professionalism and the same human quality will be there.
• Honesty about what hypnosis can and cannot do. It is our hallmark, and you will see it on every one of our pages: we say what is documented, what is less so, and what belongs to other professionals. We would rather lose a badly matched client than waste their time.
• Your autonomy as the goal. Self-hypnosis is taught from the first sessions, and our work together has an announced end. A client who comes back indefinitely is not a good client: it is a piece of work that failed.

Our commitments

What you are entitled to expect from any practitioner in the network.

• No promise of results. Not a guaranteed stop to smoking, not a weight, not a cure. We commit to serious work, never to its outcome. And anyone who guarantees you a result is lying to you.
• A straight referral. If your situation belongs to a doctor, a psychologist or another professional, we will tell you at the first conversation, even if that means not working together. Any physical difficulty calls for a medical check-up before any support begins.
• Never in place of treatment. We substitute for no medical care and never encourage anyone to interrupt a treatment.
• Verifiable training. Every practitioner lists their school, their training and their certifications on their page. We invite you to look at them — with us as anywhere else.
• Absolute confidentiality. Nothing said in session leaves it. The only limits are legal ones, and they are told to you in advance.
• A framework respected in each country. Health professions are regulated differently from one territory to another, and we comply strictly — the detail is further down this page.
• An announced fee and an end in sight. You know what you are paying and how many sessions are envisaged, from the first contact.

Our professional framework, country by country

Being transparent about this is part of our commitments.

• In Quebec, psychotherapy is an act reserved by Law 21 to psychologists, physicians and holders of a psychotherapist permit. Our practitioners are not physicians, psychologists or psychotherapists: their services are a form of supportive, well-being work, and they make no diagnosis. Receipts may be issued depending on their professional affiliation; whether insurers accept them varies from one plan to another.
• In France and Morocco, the titles of hypnotherapist and coach are not regulated — all the more reason to check any practitioner's training, with us as anywhere else. Our work there is likewise a form of well-being support, and substitutes for no medical care.
• Everywhere, the rule is the same: we complement medical care, we never replace it.
