Our areas of specialism

Many of us need a little confidence boost occasionally- but for others, that lack of confidence can impact our life dramatically.  Whether it is body confidence, or imposter syndrome at work, or doubting our ability in exams or in friendships, our 'Primitive' brain can often reinforce & worsen those feelings.

Clinical hypnotherapy can help you re-find that inner strength. By removing unhelpful negative templates & focussing on positive self image, together we can unlock that inner confidence & resources. Whether it is therapy for phobias or habits, anxiety hypnotherapy, quitting smoking or vaping, I'm here to help.

Keeping mentally fit and focused is now widely recognised as a crucial part of high performance individuals. 

Clinical hypnotherapy has a proven track record of supporting the achievement of stretching goals or performing at the highest level,  in the corporate world or in Sports .

 Helping you to reduce anxiety - and learning techniques to support that aim-  are central to our approach. 

Anxiety and stress are at the core of many conditions that we see and to some extent many of us have become ‘addicted ‘ to an always-on, stressful lifestyle ....on the move or on a device. 

Unfortunately, when our ‘stress buckets’ become full, this can manifest through anxiety, physical ailments as well as sleep issues and depression.

Hypnotherapy- like REM sleep- is a proven way to empty your stress bucket. We provide guidance to help you learn deep relaxation techniques, reduce stress levels and improve your overall well-being.

  Our brains are very good at linking certain feelings & moods to a behaviour, such as snacking on sugary foods. 

The 'feel good ' chemicals that are released - such as dopamine- reinforces that link and can create a cycle of behaviour that may not be positive. Often when we are under pressure or feeling anxious, we will find ourself reaching for the chocolate , crisps or biscuit tin – without our brain actually checking in to see if we are hungry or needing energy. 

The result is that this ‘stress eating’ can  become a habitual behaviour and un-do even our best efforts to exercise or eat well at meal times. 

Using hypnotherapy, we can get ‘rewire’ those patterns at source, working over a series of sessions to strengthen links to more healthy habits and enabling you to visualise your future, healthier self.

  Whether it is a fear of flying, of heights or of spiders or snakes, phobias can have a major impact on our lives. 

Through hypnotherapy , we can work directly to address the phobia area.  This process is relatively quick, as little as  3-4 sessions if it is a ‘simple’ phobia of one specific trigger.  

Complex phobias may take a  longer to resolve.   Often we will also engage NLP techniques, to help reframe an experience or trauma .Get in touch to discover more

My phobia clients often comment how easy they find facing their fear, once they have gone through their sessions. Recent successes include overcoming fears of height [ski-ing specifically]; public speaking; of large social gatherings and festival crowds.

You probably know someone who has given up smoking or vaping through hypnotherapy –90%+ of my clients quit after just two sessions and stay non-smokers.*

Clinical hypnotherapy targets the sub-conscious motivations for our habits , whether it is smoking, drugs, chocolate, porn or binge drinking. These may include the urge to reduce boredom, to be accepted by others, loneliness or to dull traumas from earlier in life.

With smoking and vaping, it is primarily the behaviorial patterns that keep the habit alive – whether it is smoking on work breaks, on the drive home, or at the pub with friends. 

Our techniques directly address these templates in your mind , as well as updating it on the health and financial costs of continuing.

Instead of replacing or reducing the addictive chemicals [especially nicotine] in your body,– we break the thought patterns that causes the urge in the first place 

*There are no promises. Quitting relies on your own internal commitment to stop and on willpower to follow the programme over 2-3 weeks
