Services
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy utilises guided relaxation techniques to access subconscious patterns affecting behaviour and emotions. This evidence-based approach effectively treats anxiety, phobias, and habit disorders by reprogramming negative thought patterns. Our practitioners combine traditional hypnotherapy with modern psychological techniques to deliver rapid, lasting results for clients seeking personal transformation.
Smoking Cessation
Our targeted smoking cessation programme addresses nicotine addiction through subconscious reconditioning. By identifying and modifying psychological triggers, clients achieve permanent behavioural change without withdrawal symptoms. The treatment combines cognitive restructuring with motivational enhancement techniques to ensure long-term success in breaking smoking habits.
Confidence Building
Confidence building therapy addresses underlying causes of low self-worth through subconscious reprogramming. Using NLP techniques and cognitive restructuring, we help clients overcome limiting beliefs and develop positive self-perception. This service benefits professionals seeking career advancement and individuals improving personal relationships through enhanced self-assurance.
Sports Performance Coaching
Sports performance coaching optimises mental focus and resilience for athletes through hypnosis and mental skills training. The programme enhances concentration, reduces performance anxiety, and develops winning mindsets using visualisation techniques. Tailored sessions improve consistency and achievement in competitive environments across various sporting disciplines.
Anxiety Management
Anxiety management combines clinical hypnotherapy with cognitive behavioural techniques to address excessive worry and panic disorders. The treatment identifies root causes of anxiety, replacing negative thought patterns with calming mental frameworks. Clients learn practical self-regulation techniques for immediate symptom relief and long-term emotional stability.

Dec 21, 2019 Report
I was suffering from depression and anxiety for many years before going to Ribble Hypnotherapy. After my first session, it was like a great weight was lifted from my shoulders and after a few sessions I felt like a different person. I went back recently for a top-up and walked away feeling like I was walking on air. I cant recommend hypnotherapy enough and Steve does a cracking job.
