What is
Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a natural and focused state of attention, much like being so absorbed in a good book or film that the world around you fades away. In this relaxed state, your mind becomes more open to helpful suggestions that can support positive shifts in how you think, feel, or respond.
You’re always aware, always in control and together, we gently explore what’s holding you back so you can move forward with more ease and confidence

What can Hypnotherapy me help with?
Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet effective way to support positive change by working with your subconscious mind. It can help with breaking unwanted habits, managing anxiety and stress, building confidence, and easing difficult emotions like self-doubt, guilt, or overwhelm.
It’s also useful for improving sleep, supporting pain management, and creating healthier habits around food, alcohol, or self-care.
By addressing the deeper patterns behind your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, hypnotherapy supports your overall wellbeing—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Phobias and fears
Is a fear or phobia starting to control your life?
You may have tried to push through or ignore it but it’s still there, holding you back from the things that matter.
Through hypnotherapy, we’ll get to the root of what’s really driving this response, not just the symptom, but the deeper need your mind is trying to meet.
This isn’t about forcing change. It’s about creating a shift from within, working with your subconscious to release what no longer serves you, and replace it with calm, confidence, and freedom.
If you're ready to stop managing around the fear and actually move past it, this could be your turning point.
Pain Management
Is ongoing pain taking over your life?
When pain lingers, it affects more than just your body—it can wear down your energy, your mood, even your sense of self.
Hypnotherapy offers a gentle yet powerful way to work with your mind and body, helping to ease pain, reduce tension, and reconnect you with your own inner healing resources.
This isn’t about “pushing through.” It’s about finally having the support to shift your experience of pain—so you can feel more in control, more at ease, and more you again.
Relief is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.
Anxiety and Stress
Is anxiety or stress leaving you exhausted and on edge?
When your mind won’t switch off and your body is stuck in high alert, it’s hard to feel present, let alone in control.
Hypnotherapy can help you step out of the anxiety-stress loop by gently calming your nervous system and shifting the thoughts and patterns that keep you stuck.
Together, we’ll support your mind and body to find real balance, so you can move through each day with more ease, clarity, and confidence.
You don’t have to carry this alone—relief is possible, and it starts from within.
Smoking cessation
Ready to quit smoking or vaping—for good this time?
If you're tired of relying on willpower alone, you're not failing, you're just fighting a pattern rooted deep in the subconscious.
Hypnotherapy helps you break free from cravings at the source, while also addressing the stress, anxiety, and emotional triggers that keep the cycle going.
Together, we’ll strengthen your confidence, shift the underlying drivers, and support lasting change—so you can feel healthier, clearer, and finally in control.
Let this be the last time you have to quit.
Weight management
Feeling stuck with weight management despite your best efforts?
You’re not alone. For many, underlying trauma and deep frustration with quick fixes make lasting change feel impossible.
Weight management is complex—it involves stress, hormones, sleep, movement, food, hydration, and mindset all working together.
I understand the journey because I’ve been there too. Through hypnotherapy, we’ll gently work with your subconscious to heal patterns, ease emotional blocks, and build healthier habits—supporting your body and mind in harmony.
Let’s create lasting change that feels right for you—on your terms, at your pace.
Confidence and Self-Esteem
Want to feel more confident and truly believe in yourself?
If self-doubt is getting in your way, hypnotherapy can help you tap into your inner strengths and gently shift those negative thoughts.
Together, we’ll build a mindset that feels stronger, kinder, and more empowering, so you can move forward with confidence and ease.
You deserve to feel great about who you are—and I’m here to support you.
Habit change
Struggling to break a habit?
Whether it’s cutting back on drinking, remembering to take supplements, brushing your teeth regularly, or stopping skin picking, habits can be tough to change on willpower alone.
Hypnotherapy works with your subconscious to uncover what’s really keeping those patterns in place, gently supporting you to make positive, lasting changes, at a pace that feels right for you.
Let’s work together to create new habits that stick, without pressure or frustration.
Childbirth
Preparing for childbirth?
While this isn’t hypnobirthing, hypnotherapy can still help you approach labour with greater calm and comfort. It supports relaxation, can ease pain, and encourages a peaceful mindset for both you and your baby.
Across three gentle sessions, you’ll experience what hypnosis feels like, learn easy self-hypnosis skills to use during labour, and explore positive suggestions that build confidence and help you feel calm and in control on your big day and beyond.
This is a valuable skill you can carry with you for life.

How does it work?
'Trust your unconscious, it knows more than you'
Milton Erickson
Hypnotherapy uses relaxation techniques to guide you into a calm, focused state—somewhere between waking and sleeping, like daydreaming or meditation. In this state, your subconscious mind becomes more open and receptive.
By working with your subconscious, hypnotherapy can help uncover and address the root causes of your concerns—whether they’re negative thought patterns, emotional blocks, or unhelpful habits—that your conscious mind alone might struggle to change.
We also integrate proven methods from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to reframe thoughts and responses, helping create lasting, positive change.
Many people find the process deeply relaxing and come away with a greater sense of calm, clarity, and well-being.
