Does Anxiety, Pain, or Self-Doubt Hold You Back?
You try to move forward, but something inside keeps pulling you back.
Maybe it’s stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, or a lack of confidence that’s keeping you stuck.
Hypnotherapy is a skilled communication aimed at directing your imagination in a way that helps elicit changes in some perceptions, sensations, feelings, thoughts and behaviours.
Imagine…
✨ Finding relief from anxiety and feeling more in control
✨ Enjoying restful, uninterrupted sleep.
✨ Managing and coping with perceived pain more effectively.
✨ Letting go of self-doubt and stepping into confidence.
You already have the ability to change. Hypnotherapy helps you access it.
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based approach that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help you make positive changes at a deep level.
It’s not about losing control—it’s about gaining control over your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. In this deeply relaxed state, your unconscious becomes more receptive to suggestions that align with your goals, allowing you to shift unwanted patterns and build new, empowering beliefs.
Hypnotherapy has been recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a potential treatment option for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that is persistent and has not responded to other prescribed treatments. NICE recommends that the NHS should consider referring patients for hypnotherapy in such cases. Additionally, hypnotherapy has been found to be helpful in managing the pain associated with IBS in both adults and children.
How can hypnotherapy
help you?
Hypnotherapy can be used to support you with a wide range of concerns, including:
🌿 Chronic Pain Management – Support you to ease tension and regain a sense of control around pain.
🌿 Anxiety & Stress Relief – Rewire unhelpful thought patterns, cultivate calm, and build emotional resilience.
🌿 Phobias & Fears – Work towards feeling less held back by fears and phobias.
🌿 Emotional Regulation – Build steadier responses to overwhelming emotions and difficult experiences, at a pace that feels manageable.
🌿 Self-Esteem & Confidence – Shift limiting beliefs, silence self-doubt, and step into your full potential.
🌿 Better Sleep – Support more restful, settled sleep.
🌿 Habit Change & Behavioural Shifts – Break free from unwanted habits (such as smoking, emotional eating, or procrastination) and adopt new, empowering behaviours.
🌿 IBS Symptom Management – Support digestive health and ease IBS-related discomfort. NICE guidance says hypnotherapy can be considered for IBS that has not responded to other treatments.
🌿 Peak Performance & Focus – Enhance concentration, public speaking, sports performance, and overall productivity.
Each session is designed to meet your specific needs, helping you create lasting change and move forward with clarity, confidence, and ease.
Is this support right for you?
Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for transformation, but like any process, it works best when you’re ready and willing to engage. This approach is ideal for you if you are:
✔ Motivated to create real, lasting change in your life
✔ Open to new ways of thinking and exploring different perspectives
✔ Ready to take an active role in your personal growth and healing
✔ Willing to apply techniques between sessions to reinforce progress
If you’re looking for a gentle yet effective way to break free from old patterns and move toward a more empowered version of yourself, hypnotherapy could be the right fit for you.
My Unique Approach: Hypnotherapy & Hypno-EMDR
I offer personalised hypnotherapy and, where it is appropriate, Hypno-EMDR. We work at a pace that feels manageable, building your inner resources before any work on difficult experiences begins. Every session is tailored to your needs.
What is Hypno-EMDR?
Hypno-EMDR is an approach developed for hypnotherapists. It adapts the structure of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for use within hypnotherapy. It follows nine phases: an initial stabilisation phase, then the eight phases of EMDR, from history taking through to evaluation. Using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or hand passes, within a hypnotherapy framework, it helps your mind process distressing memories and the feelings and sensations connected to them
Are You Stuck in the Past, Even When You Try to Move Forward?
Maybe it’s a painful memory that keeps resurfacing. A fear that won’t go away. A pattern you can’t seem to break, no matter how hard you try. You want to feel free, but something inside is still holding on.
Hypno-EMDR helps you gently process and release the emotional weight of the past.
How Can Hypno-EMDR Help You?
✨ Distressing memories: ease the emotional weight that past experiences still carry
✨ Stress and anxiety: calm your nervous system and ease constant worry
✨ Phobias and fears: work with deep-seated fears at a pace that feels safe
✨ Emotional regulation: gain more steadiness with overwhelming emotions
✨ Relationship with food: explore emotional eating and self-sabotaging patterns
✨ Performance and focus: reduce self-imposed limits in sport, work and public speaking
✨ Chronic pain and fatigue : where stress or past experiences seem to be part of the picture
Hypno-EMDR is designed to work with your mind, not against it. You stay in control throughout the process, feeling supported and empowered every step of the way.
If you’ve been carrying the weight of the past for too long, it may be time to set yourself free.
Hypno-EMDR isn’t right for everyone, and we’ll assess suitability together in our first conversation. If you have a significant trauma history, I may suggest working alongside, or referring you to, a specialist trauma therapist.
You stay in control throughout. We agree a safe place and a stop signal before any processing begins.
How does the support work?
Every change starts with a first step. My approach is designed to make that step as comfortable, clear, and effective as possible. Here’s what to expect when working together:
Step 1: Free Initial Consultation (30 Minutes) – Your First Step Toward Change
This is an opportunity for us to explore your needs and see if we’re the right fit. During this session, we will:
✔ Discuss your goals, challenges, and what you hope to achieve
✔ Explain how hypnotherapy (and Hypno-EMDR if relevant) can help
✔ Answer any questions or concerns you may have
✔ Outline the best approach for your situation
No pressure—just an open and supportive conversation to help you decide if this is the right path for you.
Step 2: First Session – Laying the Foundation
Your first full session is all about gaining clarity and setting you up for success. Here’s what we’ll do:
Take a deep dive into your specific challenges and experiences
Identify key patterns, triggers, and areas for change
Develop a personalised support plan tailored to your needs
Begin the initial hypnotherapy process to start shifting limiting beliefs
This session is the first step toward real change, giving us a roadmap to guide your journey.
Step 3: Second session or Ongoing Sessions (if necessary) – Where Transformation Happens
Each following session is designed to build on the progress we’ve made, reinforcing positive changes and deepening your transformation. Sessions typically include:
Active Hypnotherapy Work – Using established hypnotherapy techniques to support change.
Hypno-EMDR Integration (If Beneficial) – helping you process distressing memories and the feelings connected to them, using a structured, phased approach.
Regular Progress Check-ins – Ensuring we adapt the approach to what works best for you
Reinforcement & Empowerment – Strengthening the changes so they last
Every session is tailored to you, ensuring steady progress towards your goals.
