Hypnotherapy
Our brain is made up of our conscious mind and our subconscious mind. The conscious mind is in the present, analysing, thinking, running our day by directing our immediate attention to its environment. Our subconscious mind is like a giant memory bank with unlimited capacity. It stores past memories - the good and the bad, holding onto emotions and beliefs.
Hypnotherapy takes place when a qualified therapist guides their client into a deep state of focus and relaxation, using verbal suggestions with repetition, imagery and metaphors. When you are under hypnosis, you are not asleep (which is often assumed) and you are in control of your actions. This level of concentration and focus quietens your conscious mind enabling you to ignore any distractions.
With guidance from the therapist, you are now able to delve into your subconscious mind where your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, memories, perceptions and behaviours originated and on hearing new suggestions can modify or replace those stored thoughts and behaviours.
How can I help you?
STRESS MANAGEMENT
Stress often begins when we feel a loss of control. While some stress can be motivating, it can quickly escalate and become overwhelming.
You may find yourself taking on more work because your manager sees you performing well, or you're under pressure to meet tight deadlines while juggling multiple responsibilities. For many working mums, stress arises from trying to balance work, home life, and the expectation to do it all perfectly.
Unmanaged stress can impact your physical health, relationships, self-esteem, and confidence — often leaving you feeling isolated or emotionally drained.
Hypnotherapy offers a powerful way to reduce stress by helping you regain balance and a sense of control. Through guided relaxation and focused techniques, it supports emotional clarity and empowers you to make positive changes.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Losing weight through willpower alone is often challenging. We know what we should do, but taking consistent action can be difficult.
Unhealthy eating habits like overeating or binge eating are often linked to emotional triggers, childhood conditioning, and subconscious beliefs, making it harder to break the cycle.
Hypnotherapy for weight loss helps reprogram the mind with healthier thought patterns, habits, and routines that support long-term success.
It also builds confidence, self-worth, and emotional wellbeing — all key factors in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
With hypnotherapy, you can take control of cravings, portion sizes, and food choices, creating real, lasting change in both your eating and overall lifestyle.
CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM
Hypnotherapy is an effective approach for improving confidence and overcoming low self-esteem.
Confidence is the belief in your abilities, while low self-esteem relates to how you think and feel about yourself.
Hypnotherapy works by reshaping negative thoughts, emotions, and perceptions, helping you respond to life with greater self-belief.
It can remove inner blocks, restore balance, and support you in living the confident, fulfilling life you deserve.
SELF DEFEATING BEHAVIOURS
Self-defeating behaviors are often difficult to understand, and even harder to overcome.
We may make plans and deliberately go out of our way to self-sabotage, starting the day off with good intentions, creating a plan to make positive changes, only to almost immediately begin a self-destructive path.
Willpower and mindset play a huge role in self-defeating behaviors, and hypnotherapy can help you to make lasting changes to your thoughts and behavior.
Through hypnotherapy, you can learn to recognise these behaviors and how to overcome them, allowing you to make the changes you desire.
ANXIETY
Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry or unease that can range from mild to severe.
Hypnotherapy can help reduce anxiety symptoms by helping to relax the body and mind through suggestion and visualisation.
Common symptoms of anxiety include restlessness, difficulty concentrating, racing thoughts, and difficulty sleeping. During a hypnotherapy session for anxiety, the therapist will work with the client to identify the causes of their anxiety, and then create a tailored plan to help the client manage and reduce their symptoms.
Hypnotherapy can help to reduce feelings of anxiety and give the client the tools to cope with their symptoms in day-to-day life.
Specific Event - public speaking, exams, driving test, bride, best man speech, flying ......
Work has asked you to present to a group of people and the thought fills you with dread. Driving test, exams, best man speeches, being the bride - all these one-off types of events can fill someone with fear and can totally rule their thoughts until the day ....
Hypnotherapy can help by accessing the subconscious mind and giving gentle suggestions by way of imagery, metaphors or literally walking you through the event. Helping to create confidence and a 'can do' approach.
Hypnotherapy also works with phobias. Such scenarios are someone terrified of snakes, yet haven't actually ever seen one or terrified of flying, yet have never flown or have had a bad experience.
Gastric Band Hypnotherapy
Gastric band hypnotherapy is a non-surgical technique that uses the power of the mind, visuals, and thoughts to convince the mind that a gastric band has been fitted.
This retrains the mind to eat smaller portions, prevents binge eating, cravings and wanting more. It also helps to lose the emotional eating.
Hypnotherapy is usually up to three sessions, the first session is preparation for the surgery, the second is actually the surgery, and the third session is to reinforce the new habits and ensure success.
You will be amazed at how this works.
