Services
Hypnotherapy
Our hypnotherapy sessions use guided relaxation techniques to address anxiety, phobias, and behavioural issues. Clients learn self-hypnosis methods alongside professional treatment. The therapy helps retrain negative thought patterns while maintaining full client control throughout the process.
CBT Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy combines with hypnotherapy to address negative thought patterns. This evidence-based approach delivers faster results when combined with hypnosis, particularly effective for anxiety and stress-related conditions through structured, goal-oriented sessions.
Anxiety Treatment
Specialist anxiety treatment addresses panic attacks, social anxiety, and health anxiety. Our therapists use combined techniques to reduce adrenaline responses and develop coping strategies. Treatment includes identifying triggers and implementing long-term management solutions for sustained relief.
Phobia Treatment
Effective phobia treatment targets specific fears through desensitisation techniques. We treat common and complex phobias including fear of flying, needles, and social situations. The process removes learned fear responses while maintaining client comfort throughout treatment.
Counselling
Professional counselling services complement hypnotherapy treatments. Sessions address emotional issues and behavioural patterns through structured discussions. Our counsellors help clients develop self-understanding and practical solutions for personal challenges affecting mental wellbeing.

Questions
What conditions can hypnotherapy treat effectively?
Hypnotherapy successfully addresses anxiety, phobias, insomnia, stress, depression, and behavioural issues like smoking cessation. Our therapists also treat complex conditions including IBS, fertility-related stress, and tinnitus.
How does hypnotherapy work with CBT?
CBT identifies negative thought patterns while hypnotherapy reinforces positive suggestions during relaxed states. This combination accelerates treatment, reducing required sessions by up to 80% compared to traditional CBT alone.
Are your therapists properly qualified?
All therapists hold UK Diploma qualifications, with many having additional academic degrees. They maintain registration with leading bodies including the National Council for Hypnotherapy and General Hypnotherapy Register.
What happens during the first consultation?
Initial sessions assess your specific needs, explain treatment processes, and address concerns. Therapists discuss your goals and develop personalised treatment plans combining appropriate therapeutic techniques for optimal results.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see significant improvement within 3-6 sessions. Complex cases may require additional sessions, with regular progress reviews ensuring treatment effectiveness and allowing adjustments to therapy approaches as needed.
