What is hypnotherapy and how can it help?

Unlock the Power of Your Mind: How Hypnotherapy Helps You Create Real Change.

Have you ever felt stuck in a loop of overthinking, anxiety, self-doubt, or unhelpful habits, no matter how hard you try to break free? Hypnotherapy could be the gentle, science-backed solution you've been looking for.

Hypnotherapy nurtures the mind, allowing positivity to blossom like a vibrant garden of possibilities.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a safe and evidence-based approach that helps you tap into the subconscious part of your brain, the part responsible for your emotions, habits, and automatic responses. By guiding you into a calm and focused state of mind (similar to daydreaming), hypnotherapy allows you to rewire unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, and replace them with healthier, more empowering ones.

This is not about mind control or “clucking like a chicken.” It’s a powerful therapeutic tool that uses relaxation, suggestion, and neuroscience to help your brain create lasting change.

How It Works – The Brain Science Behind Hypnotherapy

Our brain can’t always tell the difference between real experiences and vividly imagined ones. A famous study by Pascual-Leone et al. found that people who only imagined practising the piano developed the same neural pathways as those who physically played it. This means that when we visualise success, calmness, or confidence under hypnosis, our brain begins to respond as if those things are already real.

This is why hypnotherapy is so effective for:

• Reducing anxiety and overwhelm

• Improving confidence and self-esteem

• Changing habits like smoking or emotional eating

• Managing chronic pain

• Sleeping better

• Feeling more in control of your emotions

• Letting go of fears and phobias

What Makes Hypnotherapy Different?

Unlike traditional talking therapy, hypnotherapy works directly with your subconscious mind - the part that stores beliefs, automatic responses, and emotional memories. That’s why change often feels faster and more natural. You're not just “talking about it,” you're experiencing the shift from within.

What to Expect in a Session.

In your hypnotherapy session, you can expect a supportive, one-hour experience rooted in a solution-focused approach. Every session is tailored to your needs, and may also include techniques from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), TFT (Thought Field Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), or mindfulness to support your progress.

Each session is calm, supportive, and completely tailored to your needs. Whether you want to reduce daily stress, feel more confident in social situations, stop overthinking at night, or work through something deeper, you’ll leave feeling lighter, more focused, and more in control.

I also offer specific sessions for smoking cessation, fears, and phobias, these follow a slightly different structure, so feel free to get in touch if you'd like to know more about how they work.
