Services
Quit Smoking
Our smoking cessation programme utilises Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy to break nicotine addiction. A single 2-hour session, combined with follow-up support, addresses triggers and reinforces commitment to quitting. Clients learn techniques to manage cravings and avoid relapse, with success rates higher than traditional methods like patches or gum.
Weight Loss
This service combines hypnotherapy with behavioural strategies to address emotional eating and establish healthy habits. Through 3-6 sessions, clients identify triggers, develop mindful eating practices, and build sustainable routines. Homework assignments reinforce progress, ensuring long-term weight maintenance without restrictive dieting.
Anxiety Management
Anxiety management sessions teach relaxation techniques and cognitive restructuring to reduce symptoms. Over 4-6 sessions, clients learn to reframe negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies for situations like public speaking or social interactions. The approach focuses on building resilience and self-confidence.
Phobia Relief
Phobia relief sessions address both specific phobias (e.g., spiders, flying) and generalised fears. Using gradual exposure and hypnotic suggestion, clients reframe their responses to triggers. The process typically requires 3-6 sessions, with techniques tailored to individual needs for lasting desensitisation.
Confidence Building
Confidence-building therapy focuses on overcoming imposter syndrome and developing assertiveness. Through hypnotherapy and CBT, clients challenge self-limiting beliefs and practice new behaviours. Sessions target specific scenarios like job interviews or presentations, fostering authentic self-assurance through practical skill development.
