Services
Anxiety Relief
Our anxiety relief service uses solution-focused hypnotherapy to address excessive worry, panic attacks, and stress-related conditions. By targeting subconscious thought patterns, we help clients regain control and achieve calmer states. With tailored sessions and follow-up resources, many clients report significant improvement within six sessions, enabling them to face previously challenging situations with confidence.
Depression Management
This depression management programme utilises evidence-based hypnotherapy techniques to address low mood, lack of motivation, and negative thought cycles. Through guided trance states, we help clients rediscover positive mental frameworks and build resilience. Clients report improved energy levels and renewed engagement with life, with lasting benefits achieved through structured therapy programmes and self-hypnosis support tools.
Smoking Cessation
Our stop smoking hypnotherapy programme addresses the psychological aspects of nicotine addiction through targeted subconscious reprogramming. The 90-120 minute session includes education on addiction mechanisms and post-treatment support. Clients receive follow-up resources to reinforce their non-smoker identity, with many achieving permanent cessation after a single session combined with personal commitment to lifestyle change.
Phobia Treatment
Specialised phobia treatment employs gradual exposure techniques within hypnotic states to reframe fear responses. This approach effectively addresses specific phobias like emetophobia, fear of flying, and social anxiety. Clients develop new coping mechanisms through guided visualisation, with many reporting complete symptom resolution after completing our structured therapy programme tailored to individual fear triggers.
Stress Reduction
Our stress reduction programme teaches clients to access deep relaxation states through self-hypnosis techniques. By addressing both immediate stress symptoms and underlying causes, we help clients develop lasting coping strategies. The therapy combines mindfulness approaches with cognitive restructuring to improve stress resilience, enabling clients to maintain balanced emotional states in challenging situations.

Myself, my wife and my daughter have all used Mike's services in the past.
Mike has a natural ability to put people at ease. He is one of the most un-judgemental people I have ever met, a brilliant listener and professional in every way. His hypnotherapy sessions have helped all 3 of us with different issues and we cannot recommend him highly enough!
