Benefits of Hypnotherapy

I offer a modern, compassionate approach to clinical hypnotherapy—blending therapeutic techniques, insights from current neuroscience, and the transformative power of hypnosis to support meaningful, positive change.

Clinical hypnotherapy offers gentle, powerful support to make meaningful changes in many areas of life - from everyday habits to emotional wellbeing. Some of the most common include:

Fears & Phobias

Whether it's spiders, flying, sharks, or paperclips, phobias aren't fun! They can have a huge impact on day to day life and stop us living the way we want to. The good news is that Hypnotherapy can really help with phobias, changing how you react and leaving you able to get on with your life.

Confidence &
self-esteem

Do you ever feel like you’re just not “good enough”? That little voice in your head telling you you can’t? Hypnotherapy can help quiet that voice and build a more positive, powerful you. You’ll find yourself walking taller, speaking up, and feeling much more like the amazing human you really are.

Stress & anxiety

Can’t switch off? Feeling like your thoughts are doing laps around your brain? Hypnotherapy can help calm the chaos, giving your mind a breather and helping you feel more grounded and in control.

Performance

Whether it’s the big match, a job interview, or that speech you’ve been dreading — hypnotherapy helps you stay cool, focused, and ready to perform like the legend you are, stay cool under pressure, and tap into that inner ‘you’ve got this’ mindset.

Slimming & weightloss

Forget injectables, fad diets, and guilt trips — Hypnotherapy works at a deeper level to shift how you think and feel about food, making healthier choices feel natural instead of like punishment.

Motivation

Stuck in a rut? Can’t seem to get going, even though you really meant to start on Monday? Hypnotherapy helps you reconnect with your goals, clear the mental fog, and get that spark of motivation back.

Smoking & Vaping

Whether it’s smoking, vaping, or nail biting, habits can feel hardwired. Hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level to help shift those old patterns, making it easier to let go and create healthier, more empowering behaviours.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Tummy troubles? IBS can be frustrating, painful and affect every part of your day. Hypnotherapy (yep, it’s even recommended by UK health guidelines) helps calm your system and get your gut working with you, not against you.

Sleep

Mind racing when you’re trying to nod off? Clock-watching at 3am? Hypnotherapy helps your brain wind down and switch off, making sleep feel safe, peaceful, and actually doable again.

Your commitment and openness are the spark that fuels transformation. Every journey is unique, and while results can vary, I’ll be right beside you—supporting, guiding, and cheering you on every step of the way.

🌟 Curious about hypnotherapy?

Whether you're new to hypnotherapy or simply wondering how it all works, this FAQ is here to guide you. My approach blends clinical expertise with compassionate care, helping you feel safe, seen, and supported as you explore meaningful change.

❓ What is hypnotherapy, and how does it work?

Hypnotherapy is a gentle, focused process that helps you access your subconscious mind—the part of you that holds deep beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns. In this relaxed, receptive state, you're more open to positive suggestions and insights that support healing and change.

Through this process, we tap into your brain’s natural ability for neuroplasticity—its capacity to form new neural pathways. That means we can gently replace outdated, unhelpful patterns (like anxiety, self-doubt, or limiting beliefs) with more empowering ones. It’s not about losing control—it’s about reconnecting with your inner wisdom and rewiring your mind for confidence, calm, and clarity.

❓ What approaches do you use in your sessions?

I offer a holistic, personalised blend of therapeutic tools to support your transformation, including:

Clinical Hypnotherapy – the foundation of our work, helping you access deep states of relaxation and insight
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) – powerful techniques to shift thought patterns and behaviours by rewiring how your mind responds to certain triggers
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) – gentle tapping to release emotional blocks and restore balance
Breathwork – conscious breathing to calm the nervous system and connect body and mind
Reiki – soothing energy healing to support emotional and energetic wellbeing
Affirmations – positive, empowering statements that reinforce new beliefs and help strengthen fresh neural pathways
Trauma-informed care – creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly seen and supported

Each session is tailored to you—whether you're seeking confidence, calm, clarity, or emotional healing.

❓ What can hypnotherapy help with?

Hypnotherapy can support a wide range of issues, including:

Anxiety and stress
Confidence and self-esteem
Habits and behaviours (e.g. smoking, overeating)
Sleep difficulties
Trauma and emotional healing
Motivation and goal-setting
Inner child work and self-compassion
Navigating life transitions or feeling “stuck”

Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and gently guide you toward lasting change—building new mental and emotional pathways that support your growth.

❓ Will I be asleep or unconscious during hypnotherapy?

No—you’ll be in a relaxed but aware state, similar to daydreaming or meditation. You remain in complete control throughout the session and can speak or move at any time. It’s a collaborative process, and your comfort is always the priority.

❓ What if I can’t be hypnotised?

Most people can experience hypnosis—it’s a natural state we all enter daily (like when driving on autopilot or getting lost in a good book). If you’re open and willing, I’ll guide you gently into a relaxed state. No swinging watches required!

❓ How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your goals. Some clients notice shifts after just one or two sessions, while others benefit from a short series to create deeper, lasting change. We’ll discuss your needs during your initial consultation and co-design a plan that feels right for you.

❓ Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes—hypnotherapy is a safe, well-established therapeutic approach. It’s recognised for its effectiveness in supporting a range of emotional and physical conditions, and is now offered within the NHS for certain issues such as IBS, anxiety, and pain management.

As a qualified practitioner with a trauma-informed background and over 15 years in the NHS, I create a compassionate, professional space where you can feel secure and supported. Your wellbeing is always at the heart of our work.

❓ Do you offer online sessions?

Absolutely. Hypnotherapy works beautifully online, and many clients find it comforting to explore from the safety of their own space. I also offer in-person sessions, where possible, with flexible options to suit your lifestyle.
