Services
Stop Smoking Hypnosis
Our Fast Track system delivers smoking cessation in under 30 minutes using hypnotherapy combined with laser light therapy. This innovative approach stimulates endorphin production to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Clients receive follow-up support through audio resources and private consultations to ensure long-term success.
Weight Control Hypnosis
The Fast Track Gastric Band programme uses guided hypnosis to create healthy eating habits without invasive procedures. Sessions focus on portion control, food craving reduction, and building positive relationships with nutrition. Clients receive ongoing support through audio resources and optional follow-up consultations.
Phobia Treatment
Specialised hypnotherapy addresses irrational fears through gradual desensitisation techniques. Our practitioners help clients reframe traumatic associations while maintaining emotional control. The Fast Track system typically resolves phobias within 1-3 sessions, with success documented across diverse cases including agoraphobia and social anxiety.
Panic Attack Relief
Targeted hypnotherapy sessions teach clients to regulate physiological responses to stress triggers. The programme combines relaxation techniques with cognitive restructuring to reduce attack frequency and intensity. Clients learn self-management strategies through audio resources and personalised guidance during private consultations.
Confidence Building
Hypnotherapy sessions address root causes of low self-worth through positive reinforcement techniques. The programme helps clients overcome social anxiety, public speaking fears, and self-doubt patterns. Success stories include clients transforming from severe shyness to confident professionals through structured audio support and in-person sessions.
