Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy utilises natural hypnotic states to address psychological and physical issues by accessing the subconscious mind. Our practice specialises in treating anxiety, phobias, and stress-related conditions through targeted interventions. With over 20 years of clinical experience, we deliver non-invasive solutions that complement conventional medical approaches, focusing on root causes rather than symptoms.
NLP Therapy
NLP provides structured techniques for modifying thought patterns and behaviours to achieve personal development goals. We employ NLP to enhance confidence, improve communication skills, and overcome limiting beliefs. Our therapist trained directly with Richard Bandler, co-founder of NLP, ensuring mastery of advanced methodologies for lasting behavioural change.
Thought Field Therapy
Thought Field Therapy uses simple tapping sequences to resolve emotional and psychological distress rapidly. This evidence-based approach effectively treats trauma, anxiety, and phobias with minimal client discomfort. As certified practitioners, we integrate TFT with other modalities to create comprehensive treatment plans tailored to individual needs.
Stress Management
Our stress management programmes combine hypnotherapy and NLP to address chronic stress and anxiety effectively. We teach self-hypnosis techniques for ongoing stress control, empowering clients to maintain emotional balance. With proven success in treating work-related stress and burnout, our approach focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes.
Smoking Cessation
Our smoking cessation programme uses hypnotherapy to eliminate nicotine cravings and break psychological dependencies. Clients typically achieve permanent results within 1-3 sessions through targeted subconscious reprogramming. We address underlying triggers and provide ongoing support to ensure long-term success without relapse.

Questions
What conditions can hypnotherapy treat effectively?
Hypnotherapy successfully addresses anxiety, phobias, stress, smoking cessation, weight management, IBS, and confidence issues. We also treat performance anxiety, PTSD, and habit disorders with proven methodologies.
How does NLP complement hypnotherapy sessions?
NLP provides structured techniques for modifying thought patterns, enhancing our ability to address limiting beliefs and behavioural patterns. Combined with hypnotherapy, it accelerates personal development and habit modification.
What happens during the initial consultation?
The initial 30-minute consultation explains the process, discusses your specific needs, and determines treatment suitability. No obligation exists to proceed, and we'll outline expected session numbers if therapy begins.
How many sessions are typically required?
Most clients achieve results in 3-6 sessions, though specific issues like smoking cessation often resolve in 1-3 sessions. Treatment duration depends on individual circumstances and complexity of presenting issues.
Is hypnotherapy safe and confidential?
Hypnotherapy is completely safe, non-invasive, and maintains strict confidentiality. You remain fully aware throughout sessions, with no risk of losing control or revealing unwanted information.
Do you offer self-hypnosis training?
Yes, we teach self-hypnosis techniques during treatment to reinforce progress and maintain long-term results. Clients receive audio recordings to support ongoing practice between sessions.
