Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness. This technique helps clients address phobias, addictions, and anxiety by accessing subconscious patterns. Our approach combines traditional methods with modern psychological frameworks for lasting personal transformation.
NLP Therapy
NLP therapy explores the connection between neurological processes, language, and behavioral patterns. We use this approach to help clients reframe negative thought patterns, improve communication skills, and overcome limiting beliefs. The technique is particularly effective for confidence building and habit modification.
Life Coaching
Life coaching focuses on setting and achieving personal goals through structured guidance. Our sessions help clients clarify objectives, overcome obstacles, and maintain motivation. This service supports career transitions, relationship improvements, and overall life satisfaction through actionable strategies.
EFT Tapping
EFT tapping combines acupressure and cognitive therapy to reduce emotional distress. By stimulating specific meridian points while addressing negative emotions, this technique helps alleviate anxiety, trauma, and stress-related conditions. It's particularly effective for rapid symptom relief.
Anxiety Management
Our anxiety management programs use integrated approaches to address panic attacks, social anxiety, and generalised anxiety disorders. Through hypnotherapy and cognitive restructuring, clients learn practical coping mechanisms and develop long-term resilience against stress triggers.

Report
I had hypnotherapy with Matthew around two weeks ago, and I am still in shock at how it has really helped me! In one session, he found the root cause of my problem area and helped me "put it away" so I wasn't stuck in that situation anymore. I feel so much lighter, less guilty, happier in myself and accepting myself. Thank you so much!

I've been smoking for over 30 years and for 28 of those I've been smoking cannabis every day.. Over the last 10 years, my habit grew out of control and I was spending over 500 a month on weed... 8 days ago I met Matthew... 8 days ago I stopped smoking... Every day I pinch myself... If I hadn't gone to see him id be sat smoking now.. I've already saved the cost of the appointment.. I would recommend seeing him if you are truly ready to stop.. But you have to want to stop more than anything .. Good luck
July 2021 - today marks 8 weeks.... I've been smoke free for 8 weeks... Didn't even need to

I had a severe fear of lifts. I saw Matthew for only two sessions and he has really helped me to overcome my fear. I am now able to get into lifts with reduced anxiety. I would highly recommend Matthew.

I highly recommend Matthew! Recently myself and my husband were hypnotised to quit smoking and we are delighted with the results. We have both smoked for years (14 and 16 years respectively) and tried many times to quit without success, and following two sessions each with Matthew we have never looked back. Its the best thing we have ever done!
