Our Success Rate
In December 2010 we completed a second internal audit on many aspects of our therapy practice. There was no selection: All clients for the past three years, who attended more than one appointment for any reason except to stop smoking (see Stop Smoking Therapy for a statement on this), were included. All outcomes were honestly based on both my own professional impressions and actual feedback from clients. We are highly pleased with the results.
No. clients: 227 (excludes clients seen only once and anti-smoking therapy)
No. sessions conducted: 1823
Average no. sessions (excluding 3 unusual cases): 7
No. clients who completed an adequate course of treatment: 161 or 71%
No. clients who were judged professionally to have dropped out too early: 66 or 29% (note that no one was considered an early drop out who had attended at least 8 sessions)
Reasons for coming to therapy: Vast majority - stress, anxiety disorders, loss of confidence, relationship stress, depression, emotional problems, psychosomatic symptoms, obsessional states, and eating disorders. Most clients had been suffering for a period of greater than 6 months.
No. clients for whom hypnotherapy and counselling at our practice was the only method of treatment: 173 or 76% (not including a few receiving miscellaneous complementary therapies)
No. clients who also received some form of medication from a doctor: 54 or 24%
Outcomes
22 (10%) outcomes were unknown (most often when short treatments were given for phobias and the benefit could not be tested until some time after treatment had finished)
Of the known outcomes for all clients who completed their treatment (N=154):
149 or 97% felt better
Break down:
Much better or completely better: 110 or 71%
Partial benefit: 33 or 22%
Small benefit: 6 or 4%
No change: 5 or 3%
Impressively, even of the known outcomes for early drop-outs (N=51), 71% still improved (showing mainly small or partial improvement).
