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
Address the driver
Using clinical hypnotherapy and, where useful, NLP-informed reframing, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 3
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 4
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
The evidence behind the work
Trust in therapy is earned session by session. It is also underwritten by proper credentials: BACP-registered, CNHC-registered on the PSA-accredited register, and GHSC-accredited for hypnotherapy.
- ✓ Self-hypnosis is taught so change carries between sessions.
- ✓ Approach is BACP-registered, PSA-accredited and integrative.
- ✓ Clinical hypnotherapy is a focused, awake state — closer to guided attention than sleep.

Questions people ask us
What if I fall asleep?+
From the Belper caseload, Sometimes clients drift; it does not stop the work — but the intent is a focused, awake state.
Can I be hypnotised?+
Almost everyone can, if they choose to engage — hypnosis is a skill of paying attention, not a passive event.
Is hypnotherapy the same as stage hypnosis?+
No. Clinical hypnotherapy is a therapeutic modality, delivered inside a professional protocol, not for entertainment.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on the issue — habits and phobias are often 2–6 sessions; complex or trauma-linked work is longer.
Will I lose control under hypnosis?+
No. Hypnosis is a focused awake state — you can speak, move and open your eyes at any point.
