Sometimes you know exactly what you’d like to change — but knowing isn’t always enough.
Hypnotherapy allows us to work with the unconscious patterns, beliefs and automatic responses that can influence the way we think, feel and behave.
So… What Actually is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a way of working with your unconscious mind to help change habits, behaviours and thought patterns that may be holding you back.
During hypnosis, you’re guided into a deeply relaxed, focused state where you can become more receptive to positive suggestions and new ways of thinking.
And no, you won’t be asleep or lose control!
You’ll remain aware throughout the session, and you can’t be made to do anything against your will.
Whether you’re looking to stop smoking, change your relationship with food or feel calmer and more confident, hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool to support positive change.
It’s not about someone taking control of your mind. It’s about helping you take back control of your life.
Areas I Can Support You With
Smoking Cessation
Ready to become a non-smoker?
If you’ve tried to quit smoking before, you know that breaking the habit isn’t always easy.
Hypnotherapy works with the unconscious patterns and associations connected to smoking, helping you develop a different response to old triggers and move towards a smoke-free life.
Weight Loss Hypnotherapy
Weight management isn’t always just about what you eat. Emotional eating, habitual snacking and deeply ingrained behaviours can all play a part.
Hypnotherapy can help you explore and change these patterns, supporting healthier choices and a more balanced relationship with food.
Anxiety & Stress
Feel calmer, more confident and in control.
When anxiety, overthinking or constant worry become part of everyday life, it can be difficult to switch off.
Hypnotherapy can help you explore unhelpful thought patterns and automatic responses, supporting a greater sense of calm, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy
A different approach to weight management — without surgery.
The Virtual Gastric Band is a structured hypnotherapy programme that uses guided hypnosis to create the imagined experience of having a gastric band fitted.
The programme focuses on portion awareness, recognising feelings of fullness and developing healthier eating habits.
There is no surgery or physical band. Instead, the approach uses hypnosis and behavioural techniques to support changes in your relationship with food.
Not sure which approach is right for you?
Let’s have a conversation about what you’d like to change and explore how hypnotherapy may be able to help.
What Happens First?
It all starts with a conversation.
Before we begin hypnotherapy, we’ll have an initial consultation to discuss what you’d like to change, what’s been holding you back and what you’d like to achieve.
This gives me the opportunity to understand your individual needs, answer any questions you may have and explain how hypnotherapy works.
From there, we’ll discuss the most suitable approach for you, whether that’s Smoking Cessation, Weight Loss, Virtual Gastric Band or Anxiety & Stress.
Every person is different, which is why I tailor my approach to you and your goals.
Sessions are available online or in person, allowing you to choose what works best for you.
Common Questions About Hypnosis
Will I be asleep?
No. Hypnosis isn’t sleep. You’re in a relaxed, focused state and remain aware of what’s happening.
Will I lose control?
No. You remain in control throughout the session and can speak or respond at any time.
Can you make me do something I don’t want to do?
No. Hypnotherapy is collaborative. You’re not surrendering control to the hypnotherapist.
What if I can’t be hypnotised?
Hypnosis isn’t something I “do” to you. It’s a process we work through together, which is another reason I spend time explaining everything before your hypnosis session.
How many sessions will I need?
There isn’t one answer that applies to everyone. It depends on you, what you’d like to work on and how you respond. We’ll discuss the recommended approach before proceeding.
