From Bakewell it's roughly 25 miles down the A6 to the Wilson Street clinic in DE1. Clients often combine in-person sessions with online sessions between appointments, particularly during busy weeks.
For anxiety, the toolkit here spans clinical hypnotherapy, nervous-system regulation, EMDR-informed processing. Which combination is used depends entirely on what's presenting in the room — not on a fixed protocol pushed onto every client.
How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
- Step 2
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 3
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with teenagers?+
A common one from Bakewell: Occasionally, from around 16, if the young person genuinely wants to attend. Under-16s are referred on to specialist services.
Do you offer online sessions?+
Yes — secure video sessions across the UK, using the same integrative approach.
Will I lose control under hypnosis?+
No. Clinical hypnosis is a focused, awake state — closer to guided attention than sleep. You stay fully in charge.
Can hypnotherapy really change chronic anxiety?+
Yes — because it works at the level the anxiety runs on, not just the thoughts. That's why it often outperforms pure talking therapy for long-standing worry.
What if I have tried CBT before and it didn't help?+
Many clients arrive after CBT. The AIP approach adds body-based and hypnotic work so change doesn't have to happen through thinking alone.
