Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy utilises guided trance states to address psychological and behavioural challenges. Our approach combines traditional techniques with evidence-based methods to reprogram subconscious patterns, helping clients overcome anxiety, phobias, and addictions. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, focusing on sustainable change through targeted therapeutic suggestions.
Ideo-Dynamic Repatterning (IDR)
IDR is an accelerated therapy technique that resolves deep-seated emotional issues in fewer sessions. By identifying and restructuring subconscious belief systems, IDR achieves profound results for trauma, anxiety, and chronic conditions. This method often halves treatment duration compared to conventional hypnotherapy, making it ideal for time-sensitive cases.
Phobia Resolution
Our phobia treatment addresses irrational fears through systematic desensitisation and cognitive restructuring. Using hypnosis to access subconscious triggers, we help clients reframe traumatic memories and develop new neural pathways. Success rates exceed 90% for common phobias like fear of flying, needles, and social situations.
Child Hypnotherapy
Specially adapted sessions for children aged 9-16 address bedwetting, exam nerves, and behavioural issues. Our child-friendly approach uses storytelling and play to engage young minds, ensuring treatments are non-threatening and effective. Parents report visible improvements within 3-5 sessions for most cases.
Addiction Management
We tackle substance abuse and compulsive behaviours through dual-phase treatment. Hypnotherapy addresses subconscious cravings while IDR resolves underlying emotional triggers. Clients receive relapse prevention strategies and cognitive tools to maintain long-term recovery, with 85% success rates for smoking cessation and gambling addiction.

Questions
What conditions can hypnotherapy treat?
Hypnotherapy effectively addresses anxiety, phobias, addictions, bedwetting, stress, and behavioural issues. Our clients report success with conditions like panic attacks, OCD, and chronic pain management through tailored treatment plans.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes, hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention. You remain fully conscious and in control throughout, able to terminate the session at any time. Our therapists follow strict ethical guidelines to ensure client safety and comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients achieve results in 3-6 sessions, though complex cases may require additional treatments. IDR techniques often halve required sessions compared to traditional hypnotherapy, with 80% completing treatment within five visits.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, we provide 30-minute free initial consultations to discuss your needs and determine treatment suitability. This non-obligatory session allows you to meet David and ask questions about the therapeutic process.
Are sessions confidential?
All sessions maintain strict confidentiality under CNHC ethical standards. We discuss privacy policies during initial consultations and only share information with explicit client consent or legal requirements.
