You are probably not looking for information about a company.
You are looking for someone you can trust. Someone who genuinely understands what you are carrying — and who has a proven ability to help you change it.
That is exactly why this page exists.
Håkan Källving is Scandinavia’s leading expert on Gil Boyne’s Transforming Therapy™ — the most thoroughly developed and clinically proven method for deep, lasting change.
That position is not self-appointed. It is the result of decades of work.
The foundation — already among the best certified in the world
At the turn of the millennium, Håkan was fully clinically certified through A.C.H.E., the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, founded by Gil Boyne in California, the organization that established clinical hypnotherapy as a professional standard with the highest training requirements in the United States and internationally.
That was a solid foundation. But Håkan did not stop there.
In 2000, he traveled to London to study directly under Gil Boyne. Ten years of deepening followed under Boyne’s personal guidance — years of continuous training, supervision, and direct contact with the originator of the method.
That is an experience very few therapists anywhere in the world can claim.
Who was Gil Boyne — and why does it matter to you?
Gil Boyne is recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of hypnotherapy, alongside Milton Erickson and Dave Elman. Over 55 years, he trained more than 12,000 hypnotherapists worldwide and transformed the foundation of how the profession is practiced.
But perhaps his most decisive contribution was something else entirely.
In the 1970s, the establishment fought hard to restrict hypnotherapy to licensed physicians and psychiatrists — arguing it did not even exist as a profession in its own right. Boyne refused to accept that. He traveled personally to Washington, D.C., and pursued three years of hearings with the U.S. Department of Labor. The result: the title of hypnotherapist was written into the federal Dictionary of Occupational Titles — as a profession entirely distinct from all other therapeutic fields.
It was Gil Boyne who created the profession that Håkan today is Scandinavia’s leading practitioner of.
But Boyne’s importance did not stop there. He was also an extraordinary advocate and one of the profession’s most committed defenders. He was not fighting for personal status. He was fighting for the future of hypnotherapy, for the client’s right to choose a form of help freely, and for a profession built on openness, clarity, and responsibility rather than unnecessary restriction.
His influence did not stop in the United States either. Gil Boyne also worked internationally to strengthen the profession’s standing and resist restrictive legislation, including in Australia. That is part of the professional tradition Håkan Källving stands in today.
Transforming Therapy™ is the method Boyne built over his entire career — deeply clinical, fast-acting, and focused on the cause rather than the symptoms. It works directly with the subconscious mind, where the real obstacles reside. Not by talking about the problem. By changing it.
Very often, it is not the present-day situation itself that keeps a problem alive, but the fixed subconscious ideas that were formed when the issue first took on emotional force. That is why real change does not come from endlessly circling the story, but from changing the underlying ideas at the level where the problem first gained a foothold.
Recognized as a leading voice in hypnosis and the subconscious mind

Håkan’s expertise has made him a sought-after voice among leading international companies and media outlets. He has collaborated with Philips on human behavior and the mind in product development, appeared in IKEA’s nationally recognized campaign “Sveriges tröttaste tävling”, and was engaged by Offshore Film Production ApS in collaboration with Mikael Hylin in connection with the documentary “Jag såg mordet på Palme”.
He is regularly interviewed by companies, organizations, and journalists seeking a trusted authority on hypnosis and the subconscious mind.
He has further deepened his work through the Hypnotherapy Training Institute, School of Analytical and Cognitive Hypnotherapy, and the Hypnotherapy Academy of America.
This is not a coincidence. This is what deep, solid expertise looks like in practice.
Why all of this matters — to you
You do not need to be interested in the history of hypnosis to benefit from what you have just read.
What you need to know is this: when you book a session at Hypnosinstitutet, you are working with someone who does not merely have a certificate on the wall. You are working with Scandinavia’s leading specialist in the method Gil Boyne devoted his life to refining — a method built to reach where other approaches have not.
Whatever you want to change — fears, pain, blocks, habits, performance or something that is hard to even put into words — the way forward is here.
Many have walked that path here. Now it is your turn.
