a journal for freethinking practitioners

our philosophy

  • originality
    a truly independent journal with no political affiliations, ipnosis is able to carry controversial, leading edge or unfashionable opinions and those which dare to challenge the status quo.

  • encouraging client views
    the understanding of therapeutic practice rests upon our ability to listen to the experiences of clients and to work with them to find better ways forward. ipnosis is the only journal (to our knowledge) to include a regular section dedicated to the voices of clients.

  • accessibility
    ipnosis aims to break the academic stranglehold over counselling and psychotherapy publishing by encouraging "non-scholarly" work. We believe that the ideas people have are far more important than how they express them. It also seems important that as many people as possible find our articles and features easy to read and digest.

  • entertainment
    journals should be enjoyable and stimulating as well as informative. ipnosis includes a generous helping of humour and lightheartedness in every issue.

  • interactivity
    ipnosis offers exercises and challenges to readers which we hope will be engaging, enjoyable and conducive to personal growth.
