Hypnotherapy for stress and anxiety
Calm your mind and feel in control with the help of hypnotherapy – online sessions or face-to-face.
Lift depression and change unhelpful behaviours. Leave negative life events in the past.
Stress occurs when the demands on a person exceed their ability to cope.
This can lead to unhelpful behaviours and habits such as: smoking, alcohol and drugs as well as emotional eating.
Negative self beliefs can develop too, which can lead to depression and low self esteem, reducing the person’s ability to emotionally heal themselves.
All healing is self healing and we all have the capability within us to heal any part of our body and mind.
This is where hypnotherapy helps. It can give you back control and confidence in your abilities, allowing you to feel calmer in any situation.
I can help you to
Find inner peace and calm
Silence your inner critic
Free yourself from depression
Learn Self Acceptance
Heal your inner child
So you can be free to live your best life
For 20 years I have been helping my clients overcome life’s difficulties.
Hypnotherapy for anxiety
Gill is a fantastic hypnotherapist who helped me immensely. I’ve suffered from acute anxiety for many years and suddenly found myself struggling with terrible insomnia. I was feeling pretty low and desperate so turned to Gill for help. Having never tried Hypnotherapy before I was a little apprehensive about what to expect, but I needn’t have worried. Gill is very warm, welcoming, caring and above all patient. She really takes the time to get to know you in order to help find the best therapy for you. I came away from my sessions feeling relaxed and more positive about the future. After a few sessions I was making good progress, my sleep improved and my anxiety levels were much reduced. Gill really knows her stuff, a true professional who really cares about the people she works with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.

Hypnotherapy for Blood Pressure
When I first came to see you my blood pressure was seriously high – at 175/98. I was very stressed and worried about the health of my unborn baby. After hypnotherapy my blood pressure has gone down to 120/84 – lower than before I became pregnant. I am much more relaxed and feel calmer and happier. My GP is very pleased with my progress and glad not to have had to prescribe medication. Listening to your MP3 recordings afterwards have helped keep me on track.

Many thanks

Qualifications and memberships
Hypnotherapy and counselling
on Zoom or in person
It is my privilege to guide you towards emotional healing by teaching you how to Practice Self Compassion (which is a key factor in Recovery and Healing) to free yourself from past Trauma, Guilt and Shame and to leave negative life events in the past.
I offer a safe, positive space that is free from judgement for you to feel listened to.
Your problems don’t define you
Hypnotherapy can heal emotional trauma and enable us to find balance inner lives, to live in the present moment and to worry less abut the future. I carry out most of my sessions online through Zoom or Skype and I offer a number of face to face sessions too. Hypnotherapy is just as effective online as face to face.
It really depends on your personal preference and of course your location. The only requirement is that you have a quiet, comfortable place where you can sit or lie down and not be disturbed.
It’s a wonderful thing when a client no longer needs their therapist, it means their treatment was successful, and that is always the aim.
I offer reduced rates for NHS workers and for multiple therapy sessions (2+).

What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a genuine psychological therapy process that puts you in a deeply relaxed trance-like state in order to make you more receptive to therapeutic suggestions. During this state, hypnotherapy can place the seeds of healthier and positive thought patterns into your mind where they germinate and grow until they become your own – naturally and effortlessly. Beneficial results are often achieved faster than with other therapies because we focus on the goals the clients want to achieve, rather than the problems. It can be life changing.
Hypnotherapy is increasingly recognised as a serious science. In 2016, Stanford University described it as the “oldest form of Western Psychotherapy” when they published their research showing it to be an effective way of assisting psychological healing and recognising its effectiveness in treating pain, phobias and anxiety. I have also helped clients coping with the symptoms of Long Covid.
It’s important to note that during hypnotherapy, you always have self determination. It may make you a little sleepy, but you have your free will and can make conscious decisions. That’s why it works so well. It allows you and your therapist to tune out life’s other distractions to talk directly to your subconscious. The best outcomes are based on a positive relationship with your counsellor. It’s important to me that my clients have confidence in me and feel comfortable. That’s why I always arrange a free introductory session before we begin a serious program. This helps to establish the positive foundation needed to work together.

Hypnotherapy for stress, anxiety and panic
Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress and can often be an underlying cause of many mental health issues. Anxiety occurs when we overestimate a perceived danger (in the future) and underestimate our own abilities to cope with that danger. It is always about fear of the future. Panic is on the same spectrum as anxiety.
Hypnotherapy helps us to learn how to live more in the present moment, reducing those feelings of anxiety so we are more able to cope with everyday life.
Since early 2020, I have successfully helped more people deal with Covid and lockdown-induced anxiety, panic, and stress.
Hypnotherapy for depression
Depression can cloud a person’s rational and realistic thinking, making everything in life seem awful.
Hypnotherapy techniques can help to replace negative thinking with more useful patterns and self talk.
Hypnotherapy works with both the conscious and the subconscious mind to help you achieve the results you desire.
By focussing on what you do want rather than the past, it is possible to create new patterns that will give you a new strength to work towards the future you want.

Hypnotherapy to stop smoking
Hypnotherapy is a highly effective treatment for stopping smoking and vaping. I have helped many people to stop smoking through hypnotherapy, and more recently to stop vaping, which has been scientifically proven to be just as unhealthy as smoking and should not be considered as a better alternative.
Hypnotherapy for weight loss
Emotional eating develops when the brain and body become disconnected. I am a licensed HypnoBand practitioner.
Hypnoband is the world’s leading “virtual gastric band” therapy. It has helped many people reach their target weight and stop emotional eating for good.
Hypnotherapy for pain relief
Hypnotherapy can help to “dial down” or diminish the severity of chronic pain by creating a virtual analgesic effect. This has been proven to be highly effective in long-term pain management.
It is recommended that this therapy is conducted over a series of sessions. A complementary recording is also provided.
