Services
Weight Loss
Our weight loss programme utilises cognitive hypnotherapy to address emotional eating patterns and establish healthy habits. The virtual gastric band technique creates natural portion control without surgical intervention. Clients receive personalised audio recordings to reinforce positive behavioural changes between sessions.
Smoking Cessation
This programme targets nicotine addiction through suggestion therapy and EMDR techniques. Sessions focus on breaking psychological dependencies while managing withdrawal symptoms. Clients report improved sleep and increased energy levels post-treatment, with long-term success rates exceeding traditional methods.
Anxiety Treatment
Our anxiety treatment combines cognitive restructuring with deep relaxation techniques. Sessions address root causes of stress responses while building coping mechanisms. Clients receive guided audio resources to maintain emotional stability between appointments, with noticeable improvements often seen within weeks.
Forensic Hypnosis
Specialised service aiding memory recall in legal contexts while maintaining evidential integrity. Techniques follow strict ethical guidelines to ensure admissibility in court proceedings. Particularly effective for trauma-related memory retrieval while maintaining professional objectivity.
Online Sessions
Remote therapy options via secure video platforms maintain the same therapeutic quality as in-person sessions. Ideal for clients with mobility challenges or geographic constraints. Sessions use encrypted platforms to ensure confidentiality while providing flexible scheduling options.
