clinical hypnotherapy at this practice combines clinical hypnotherapy, NLP-informed reframing, regression where relevant. That combination is deliberate: it lets change land at the level the problem is actually stored, not only at the level of thoughts.
How the therapy is structured
- 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
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.

Before you get in touch
What if I fall asleep?+
For clients in Littleover (DE23) specifically: Sometimes clients drift; it does not stop the work — but the intent is a focused, awake state.
How is this different from meditation?+
Meditation is generalised attention practice; clinical hypnosis is targeted therapeutic work with a defined outcome.
Is it evidence-based?+
Clinical hypnotherapy has good evidence in anxiety, IBS, pain and habit change — it is used inside NHS and academic settings.
Will I lose control under hypnosis?+
No. Hypnosis is a focused awake state — you can speak, move and open your eyes at any point.
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.
