Amy Ross, Certified Hypnotherapist
Certified HypnotherapistIn practice since 2017Online worldwide and in person in Lisbon
"I have been through every counseling, psychiatrist, therapist that you can think of, and I did not believe in hypnotherapy, but it has obviously changed my life in millions of ways and in only 9 weeks."
D'ArlynIn a nutshell
What's a session with Amy Ross like, and who is it for?
In a session with Amy Ross, your mind stays active and alert the whole time. You can hear everything she says, and you'll likely remember as much as you would from any normal conversation. Hypnosis feels different to different people: a heavy, deep relaxation, a light and floaty feeling, or simply sitting right where you are. All of these are perfectly fine. There's no wrong way, and no one “hypnotized” feeling. Amy guides you into a relaxed, focused state where it gets easier to set old beliefs aside and imagine new ways of being. Together, you use the power of your imagination to reach what's been holding on to anxiety, fears and phobias, pain, poor sleep or habits like smoking, and that experience helps move you toward your goal. She works with adults, teens and kids, online from anywhere in the world or in person in Lisbon, Portugal.

Meet your hypnotherapist
Hi, I'm Amy Ross
I'm a certified hypnotherapist and the founder of Impact Hypnotherapy. Since 2017, I've helped adults, teens and kids feel calmer, freer and more equipped to handle life's ups and downs, online and in person in Lisbon, Portugal.
Before hypnotherapy, I was an elementary school teacher, and I bring an educator's approach to all my work. I ask good questions, I listen closely, and I explain things in plain words, so you always know what's happening and why. Before teaching, I worked in film and television, where I developed my love of vivid imagery and storytelling. You'll notice both in our sessions.
My sessions are a judgment-free space. I'll be honest with you, kindly, and I'll be in your corner the whole way.

Client stories
What clients say
During our hypnosis sessions I felt more relaxed than I've ever felt. Amy's voice is really soothing and relaxing. She helped me release emotional triggers and taught me a number of effective techniques I can use to quickly calm and ground myself whenever I feel overwhelmed or find myself in highly emotional situations. I feel more confident, more in control of myself, and experience more joy.
MaredithEach session, she puts me at ease and offers a safe environment, where I am [able] to relax and let my subconscious take over. I'm always shocked at the connections I'm able to make as to why I am the way I am. It's like puzzle pieces of me coming together in my Ah-ha moments. … I have definitely noticed subtle differences. Treat yourself to work with Amy. You are worth it!
SuzanneAmy is a wonderful person and very good at her job. In a short time, she understood what I need, and we released so many types of problems in one session. I definitely recommend for those thinking about having the session!
MerveAmy was very helpful. She showed me a couple techniques and tools to help myself with stress levels and how to prioritize based on a value system. I'm amazed at how each few minutes could relax my mind. Recommended!
AdriannaI have had a wonderful experience working with Amy. She is easy to talk to and explains things in an easy-to-understand manner. I feel I have been very successful with what we worked on and would recommend her to anyone considering hypnotherapy.
DavidFAQ
Questions people ask
Can hypnotherapy help with my problem?
Very often, yes. Hypnotherapy helps you find a new way of approaching a problem, one that's more likely to work for you. I work with anxiety and stress, fears and phobias, habits like smoking, sleep, confidence, and chronic pain. Not sure if yours fits? Ask me on your free introductory call.
Is hypnosis safe? Will I lose control?
Yes, it's safe. You stay awake, aware and in charge the whole time, you can hear everything, and you can open your eyes and stop whenever you want. You can't be made to do anything you don't want to do.
Will I be made to do something silly, like in a stage show?
No. Stage hypnosis is entertainment, and the volunteers want to perform. Hypnotherapy is private and focused on the change you want, and you stay in charge the whole time.
How many sessions will I need?
My hypnotherapy work is known for being brief, but every plan is personal. We map out the number and pacing of your sessions together on your free introductory call.
Do online sessions work?
Yes. You get the same session by video as in my Lisbon office, from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a quiet room and a way to hear me clearly. Headphones help, so keep a pair nearby and plugged in, though speakers work fine if you can hear well.
Do you work with kids and teens?
Yes, I work with kids and teens, ages 6 to 17. Young people have problems to overcome too, and hypnotherapy can help them very effectively. I used to be an elementary school teacher, and I did student teaching in middle school and high school. I loved working with students, and I still enjoy working with kids and teens today. On the introductory call, parents and caregivers are welcome to talk with me privately first. Then I like to talk with your child on their own, because young people often open up more freely when no one else is speaking for them or listening in. If your child would feel more comfortable with you there, I'll invite you to join us. It all depends on how your child feels, and if having their adult there helps, that's what we'll do.
