Clinical Hypnotherapy

Working with the subconscious mind to create real, lasting change

Many of the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours we struggle to shift are not happening at a conscious level. They’re driven by patterns learned and stored in the subconscious mind — often early in life, through repetition, emotional experiences, or survival-based coping strategies.

Clinical hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-informed way of working with these deeper patterns. It supports change not by forcing willpower, but by helping the mind access states of focused attention where new learning, reframing, and emotional processing can take place.

This work is not about being “put under” or losing control. It’s about learning to work with your mind rather than against it.

Your subconscious mind is where habits, emotional responses, protective patterns, beliefs, and automatic reactions live.

It’s fast, efficient, and designed to keep you safe — but it doesn’t update itself automatically.

This is why you can:

• Intellectually know something isn’t true
   
• Understand where a pattern came from
   
• Want to change
  …and still find yourself repeating the same reactions, fears, or behaviours.
   

The subconscious runs learned programs.
Clinical hypnotherapy helps bring awareness and choice to those programs.

Hypnotherapy works with natural states of focused attention and absorption — similar to being deeply engaged in a book, a movie, or a creative flow state. In this focused state:

• The mind becomes more receptive to new perspectives
   
• Emotional memories can be reprocessed more safely
   
• Old protective responses can be updated
   
• The nervous system can settle into new associations
   

This allows change to happen at the level where patterns are formed — not just where they’re analysed. You remain aware, in control, and able to speak throughout the process.
Nothing is done to you — the work is done with you.

 Clinical hypnotherapy can be helpful for:

• Anxiety and stress patterns
   
• Emotional triggers and reactivity
   
• Habits you “know better than” but still repeat
   
• Self-sabotage or confidence blocks
   
• Phobias and conditioned fear responses
   
• Trauma-informed support (within appropriate scope)
   
• Behaviour change and self-regulation
   
• Letting go of outdated beliefs about self-worth
   
• Releasing emotional loops that feel stuck
   

It is particularly helpful when talk-based insight alone hasn’t been enough to create lasting change.

 Clinical hypnotherapy is supported by research in:

• Neuroplasticity (the brain’s capacity to change through experience)
   
• Memory reconsolidation
   
• Focused attention and learning states
   
• Psychophysiological regulation
   
• Conditioning and behavioural change
   

This work respects the brain’s protective design.
We don’t try to override safety mechanisms — we work with them.

Sessions are collaborative, gentle, and respectful of your pace.
You’re always in choice. You can speak, move, pause, or stop at any point.

The work is tailored to:

• Your goals
   
• Your emotional readiness
   
• Your nervous system capacity
   
• Your personal history and context
   

No two sessions look the same, because no two people are the same..

 Why Hypnotherapy Can Feel Different to “Trying Harder”

Many people are tired of effort-based change.

Hypnotherapy doesn’t rely on pushing, forcing, or positive thinking over pain.
It works by creating new internal experiences that naturally reshape how the mind responds.

Change becomes less about control and more about integration.

This work is trauma-aware, client-led, and grounded in emotional safety.
Nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed.
Your system leads the pace.

Clinical hypnotherapy is offered as part of a broader therapeutic approach that values awareness, self-compassion, and sustainable change.
