Hypnotherapy and You

Some problems make life miserable because there’s no clear medical fix. You may know something isn’t dangerous or it's “illogical,” yet your body reacts automatically with fear, pain, nausea, or avoidance. Doctors, friends, and family often don’t know how to help, leaving you feeling stuck and misunderstood. I’ve worked with people whose symptoms affected intimacy, chronic pain, pregnancy decisions, and everyday life. When automatic responses take over, they can quietly rule everything.Change is possible: Life without phobia. Intimacy without pain. Hypnosis works with the unconscious patterns that drive these responses. It’s often exactly what’s needed for problems doctors and clinical psychologists don’t usually treat. I’m a fully qualified healthcare professional with years of experience using hypnosis. Contact me (it’s free), tell me your story, and I’ll explain how I can help.

Hypnotherapy

Here are six things I often work with. If you don't see your issue, just ask

[1] Anxiety; Phobias, Emetophobia
Spiders, Stage Fright, Planes, Needles, MRI Scanners, Gastroscopy
Has it ever worked when someone tells you "there's nothing to be afraid of"? Fears and phobias are seldom rational. Hypnosis is uniquely able to help get rid of your fears and reactions

[2] Pains
Whether it’s pain from a chronic medical issue, e.g. fibromyalgia, CRPS, tinnitus, or emotion so bad it hurts, or pain you get with physical intimacy, I can likely offer you some help. Pain is actually the most scientifically researched area of hypnosis, but it takes more time than most doctors have available. I have professional expertise with pain and know how complicated it can be. Find out how hypnosis can help


[3] Addictions & Habits
Smoking; Sugar; Substances; Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours
How much is addiction; how much is habit; and how much is not believing you can really change? What to do? Especially when you might want to keep something about a BFRB. (No problem btw.) Consider contacting me by scrolling to the bottom of the page. Note: for smoking I only offer stop smoking and freedom - no half measures

[4] Weight Loss and Emotional Eating
GLP-1 injections ("skinny jabs") for weight are effective, however studies show that nearly everyone regains when they stop taking the drugs:
[1] you may prefer something more natural
[2] injections do nothing to address the causes of emotional eating.
Not everyone wants to inject ongoing (costly) medication. I'll help you make the changes you want addressing the root causes of your emotional eating [But if your weight is driven by "habit" see [3] above]

[5] Fear/ Doubt/ OCD/ Perfectionism
Fear, compulsions, obsessions, constant doubting which can’t be switched off
The thoughts and doubts can be all-consuming and for some people it can be the worst kind of horrible (if you know, you know); I will not judge you no matter what, and I've worked with everything. Hypnotherapy can work alongside any other treatment

[6] Fitness for over-50s -- Do you need to look after your health?
Because I am also a physio (and over 50) I see the challenges normal, older people have with the mindset for a simple, effective exercise habit. I keep it simple and individual to you. I have the professional background to share sound knowledge, and hypnosis can be a game changer for helping you with exercise, diet, and stress reduction. And of course, any age is welcome!
