Most people work with me for only 3–4 sessions for a specific issue. If you’re ready to feel different, you don’t need years of therapy, you need the right few hours.

You know what you want to be different in your life. I help your mind work for you so that change feels normal and natural, using modern psychology, clinical hypnosis, NLP, coaching and cutting‑edge insights from neuroscience. These approaches work directly with the unconscious patterns that drive your thoughts, feelings and behaviour, which is why change can often happen much faster than with traditional talk‑only approaches.

Over the past 17 years I’ve worked with more than 2,000 people, from children to teenagers and busy parents to CEOs, professional athletes and performers. Again and again, people tell me they so surprised in the rapid changes because feeling and acting differently has already started to feel like their new normal.

What To Expect

HOW HYPNOTHERAPY HELPS

Modern hypnotherapy isn’t just the old style of hypnotising someone and giving direct suggestions. Modern hypnotherapy is at the forefront of understanding why people do what they do and how to change it quickly. We know how your mind, brain and body all contribute and the easiest way to help you behave and feel the way you want. It makes that change feel completely normal and automatic, without having to think about it.

Working with your whole mind

Modern hypnotherapy changes things at the unconscious level, but that doesn’t mean you have to be “hypnotised” in the classic sense. Your whole mind is always there and interacting, hypnotherapists just know how to communicate with it effectively. I use a wide range of techniques that are highly conversational, involve visualisation and movement, and keep you wide awake and fully involved. This approach creates massive shifts quickly because you can easily tell me what’s changing inside as we go. Even better, many of the techniques we use, you can repeat for yourself in the future to handle new challenges or reinforce your progress.

How hypnosis works

Hypnosis is not mind‑control and it’s not stage tricks. It’s a natural state of focused attention that you already move in and out of every day, like when you daydream, get lost in a book, or miss a turn while driving because your mind is elsewhere.
​​
Modern clinical hypnotherapy uses this state on purpose to work directly with the unconscious patterns that drive your habits, fears and emotional reactions. You stay aware and in control; you can hear everything I say and your own thoughts about it. The work often feels surprisingly calm and clear.

In hypnosis you will not start sharing your inner most secrets and you cannot be made to do anything that you don’t agree with. You are present and still in control and can come out of that state anytime you choose.

Change happens because of you

I give you the tools, the understanding, and the guided process to make it feel easy and automatic.

Between sessions, you’ll practice self‑hypnosis and the techniques we’ve worked on, most take all of 1 minute. This is what makes the change stick, and it’s also why you can use these skills for yourself long into the future.

What to expect in a session

We start by getting very clear on what you want to be different and how you’ll know it’s working.
I explain how your mind is currently running the problem pattern and what we’re going to change.
I will use a combination of conversational techniques, visualisation, NLP, movement and other modern methods. You stay fully aware and engaged. I also use deeper formal hypnosis trances at times.
You leave with practical tools you understand and can use on your own, plus any recordings or exercises to support the work between sessions.

What The Research Says About Clinical Hypnosis

You might be surprised to know that this isn’t some fringe approach. It’s actually one of the most well-researched and effective methods for emotional and behavioural change.

=> A study published in American Health Magazine found that hypnotherapy had a 93% success rate after just six sessions. Compare this to only 38% after 600 sessions of traditional talk therapy. (Alfred A. Barrios, American Health Magazine; Multiple peer-reviewed studies)

=> A 2019 meta-analysis published in The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that hypnosis reduced anxiety more effectively than 79% of control treatments. And it works even better when combined with other approaches like NLP.

=> According to a 2024 review by the American Psychological Associationclinical hypnosis significantly outperforms many standard methods for treating anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep issues, and chronic pain.
