Clinical Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a gentle, effective tool to support lasting physical and psychological wellbeing. During hypnosis, you remain fully in control and aware at all times. My role is to guide and facilitate the process, helping you enhance the way you think, feel, and act.

Hypnosis has been shown to be as effective as the FODMAP diet for IBS and can also support chronic pain management and other health conditions.

Hypnosis Can Be Used For:

• Chronic pain

• Stress and anxiety

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other digestive issues

• Weight management

• Quitting smoking

• Fears and phobias (e.g., medical procedures, flying, spiders)

• Insomnia

• Stress and performance management (exam preparation, sports performance)

• Psychosomatic symptoms

What to Expect in a Clinical Hypnosis Program:

1. Pre-hypnosis appointment: Discussion of goals, detailed history, and planning of the number of sessions needed.

2. Hypnosis session: 45–60 minutes, with a follow-up recording provided for home use.

3. Subsequent sessions: Scheduled as required to support your goals.

No referral is needed for counselling or clinical hypnotherapy sessions
