“I know what I need to do, so why am I still stuck?”

I’m Nadia, a clinical hypnotherapist with 25 years’ NHS experience. I help people change automatic reactions that hold them back, working at the subconscious level where patterns run themselves.

About Me

I’m a calm, grounded practitioner who works with the whole person, not just a single problem.

Everything we experience is connected. Our habits, stress responses and repeated behaviours rarely sit in isolation. I’m interested in what’s underneath.

My route into hypnotherapy wasn’t theoretical. I turned to it myself while navigating chronic pain and habit change. Experiencing the work from the inside shaped how I practise now, practical and steady.

I live with chronic pain and I’m neurodiverse. That lived experience gives me a real understanding of how physical symptoms, mental load and nervous system patterns intersect. I don’t see people as diagnoses. I see the person as a whole.

Alongside this, I spent 25 years working in NHS radiotherapy as an Advanced Practitioner. I’m used to complex, emotionally charged environments. I bring that steadiness into my hypnotherapy work.

I work at the root of what’s keeping you stuck.

Introducing Hypnotherapy

1.

About Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses a natural state of mind we all experience, like daydreaming, becoming absorbed in a film, or scrolling through your phone without noticing time passing.

People have used this focused state for thousands of years to ease worries, break habits, and shift patterns that aren’t working. Our understanding of how hypnotherapy works has developed significantly over time, and like many areas of healthcare, we now have a clearer understanding of the underlying processes involved.

How Hypnotherapy Works

During hypnotherapy, you’re guided into a relaxed, focused state, similar to being absorbed in a book or drifting into a daydream. You remain aware and in control throughout.

In this state, the part of your mind responsible for automatic behaviours and habits becomes more receptive to change. This makes it easier to let go of unhelpful reactions and reinforce more useful responses.

Hypnotherapy supports changes in how you think, feel, and respond, helping to release patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

Understanding Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is often shown on television in dramatic ways, but real practice is much calmer than that.

During a session, you remain aware and in control throughout. Nothing happens without your consent. I act as a guide, and you remain actively involved in the process.

It’s simply a focused way of working with the mind, helping you look at patterns, responses and habits in a steadier, more intentional way.

What Can Hypnotherapy Help With?

Common areas I work with...

Habits

Hypnotherapy is highly effective for working with repetitive habits and behavioural patterns, whether they show up as daily routines, automatic responses, or long-standing cycles.

Many habits persist not because you lack willpower, but because they have become embedded responses. Hypnotherapy works at the root of what is driving the behaviour, rather than just trying to control it.

While you remain fully aware and in control, sessions guide you into a relaxed, focused state where your mind becomes more receptive to change. This allows you to:

• Break unwanted habits
• Shift automatic responses
• Strengthen focus and motivation
• Build steadier routines
• Reduce procrastination or avoidance

I usually recommend 3–5 sessions as a structured approach, though some people notice differences sooner. Each session is tailored to your specific habits, triggers and goals.

How We Work Together

Structured session options to address what’s keeping you stuck.

Initial session

If you’re unsure how much support you need, the initial 90-minute session allows us to begin working at the root of what’s keeping you stuck.

This is active therapeutic work, not just an assessment. We clarify the pattern, begin hypnotherapy immediately, and introduce practical strategies you can start using straight away.

Following this session, I will recommend whether a structured 3- or 5-session programme would be most appropriate.
