• Hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps you create positive change by working with your subconscious mind. It can help you break negative cycles, shift deep-rooted patterns, and gain clarity and confidence.

    You're always in control during hypnotherapy. It’s not stage hypnosis or mind control—just a deep, meditative state where your mind becomes more open to positive suggestions. There are no swinging watches, just relaxation and science-backed techniques. It is not like what the media portrays it to be and it is not stage hypnosis, which makes use of other techniques and illusions.

  • Our brain operates at different frequencies depending on our state—busy and alert (Beta), relaxed (Alpha), deeply relaxed or meditative (Theta), and asleep (Delta).

    Hypnotherapy uses deep relaxation to bring your brain into Alpha or Theta states, allowing direct communication with your subconscious. In this state, helpful suggestions can take root, leading to real behavioural and emotional change.

    Each time you act differently because of these suggestions, you reinforce new neural pathways—essentially rewiring your brain.

  • Your subconscious drives up to 90% of your behaviour. It stores all past experiences and patterns—even those you don’t consciously remember.

    For example, early rejection (like not being picked for a team) can create unconscious fears of rejection in adulthood. Hypnotherapy works by identifying and gently reprogramming these patterns so you can respond differently and break free from limiting beliefs.

  • Hypnotherapy is safe for most people, but there are a few exceptions:

    It’s not suitable for those with epilepsy or psychosis

    You cannot get “stuck” in hypnosis—even online

    Some people may experience emotional release (e.g., tears, laughter), which is normal

    You may feel tingling, deep relaxation, or time distortion—all normal however, not everyone experiences this.

    You’ll complete a consultation form so I can tailor your session safely and effectively.

  • Hypnotherapy is highly adaptable and works best if you’re open to change. You don’t need to "believe" in it—but a willingness to relax and engage helps.

    It’s far more personalised and effective than a meditation app because it’s designed around your unique needs.

  • Meditation takes practice and brain training, hypnotherapy is guided, so please do not worry if you struggle to meditate and your mind wonders- this is exactly what hypnotherapy is for.

    There are some similarities and being in hypnosis feels like being in a meditative state, you are always aware and in control.

    Like mindfulness, hypnotherapy helps train your mind to stay present and reduce overthinking. Studies show regular meditation reduces activity in the brain’s Default Mode Network (DMN)—the part linked to negative thought loops and anxiety.

    Hypnosis, like meditation, can lower stress, enhance neuroplasticity, and even influence your immune system and pain response, as shown in studies on breathing techniques (e.g., Wim Hof).

  • Hypnosis has ancient roots—in Egyptian temple healing, shamanic rituals, and Buddhist meditation. It was later developed in modern medicine by figures like Mesmer, Freud, Milton Erickson, and Dave Elman. It was used as anesthetic before modern medicine was developed.

    Today, it's a scientifically recognised therapeutic tool, blending ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience and trials within the NHS are underway.

    From the Royal Family to Celebrities- Hypnotherapy has been used worldwide with proven results.
