Is hypnotherapy covered by health insurance in Ireland?

Generally not by VHI, Laya or similar health insurers. Hypnotherapy isn’t currently registerable with IACP or the bodies those insurers recognise.

Depending on your employer or personal policy, you may be able to claim it under self-development, mental health, or coaching benefits. It’s worth checking your policy. And if not, we come back to the same question: what is the cost of doing nothing?
