Services
Anxiety Relief
Our anxiety relief hypnotherapy sessions use solution-focused techniques to address the root causes of anxiety. By guiding clients into a relaxed trance state, we help reprogram negative thought patterns and build coping mechanisms. Clients learn to manage symptoms through self-motivation and positive visualisation, achieving lasting relief from panic attacks and generalised anxiety.
Phobia Treatment
Specialised hypnotherapy for phobias helps clients confront and overcome irrational fears. Through gradual exposure in a controlled trance environment, we reframe negative associations and reduce physiological responses. This approach enables clients to regain confidence and engage in previously avoided activities without distress.
OCD Support
Our OCD treatment combines cognitive-behavioural techniques with hypnotherapy to break compulsive cycles. By addressing underlying anxiety triggers and reinforcing positive behavioural patterns, clients develop greater control over intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours, improving daily functioning and quality of life.
Confidence Building
Confidence-building sessions focus on identifying and challenging negative self-perceptions. Through guided visualisation and positive reinforcement, clients develop a stronger self-image and learn to set healthy boundaries. This service helps individuals overcome social anxiety and achieve personal and professional goals.
Pain Management
Hypnotherapy for chronic pain teaches clients to modify their perception of discomfort through relaxation techniques and mental focus. By addressing the psychological components of pain, this service reduces reliance on medication and improves overall well-being for conditions like migraines and IBS.

Questions
What conditions can hypnotherapy treat?
Hypnotherapy effectively addresses anxiety, phobias, OCD, stress, IBS, panic attacks, confidence issues, and chronic pain. It helps reprogram negative thought patterns and build coping mechanisms for lasting improvement.
How does trance work during sessions?
Trance is a natural state of focused relaxation that enhances receptivity to positive suggestions. During sessions, clients remain fully conscious while accessing deeper mental resources to reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping strategies.
Are online sessions as effective as in-person?
Yes, online hypnotherapy via Zoom or Skype maintains the same therapeutic benefits. Clients receive personalised guidance and support from the comfort of their chosen environment, with many reporting equal or greater effectiveness.
What qualifications do you hold?
I hold the Hypnotherapy and Practitioner Diploma (HPD) from the Clifton Practice, considered the 'Gold Standard' in hypnotherapy. I'm also registered with the National Council for Hypnotherapy and fully insured for clinical practice.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment duration varies by individual needs. Most clients see significant progress within 6-12 weekly sessions. We review progress regularly to ensure therapy remains focused on your specific goals and requirements.
Is hypnotherapy safe for children?
Yes, children often respond well to hypnotherapy as they naturally engage their imagination. Sessions for young people incorporate age-appropriate techniques and parental involvement to address anxiety, confidence issues, and behavioural challenges safely.
