Services
Stress Management
Our stress management programme utilises solution-focused hypnotherapy to address chronic stress symptoms and anxiety disorders. By targeting cortisol regulation and cognitive patterns, we help clients develop sustainable coping mechanisms. Clients report improved sleep quality, enhanced concentration, and better emotional regulation through our structured session approach.
Phobia Resolution
Specialising in phobia elimination using the Rewind Technique, we address specific fears and trauma responses without direct exposure. Our method reprocesses neural pathways to reduce fear responses, with clients experiencing significant improvement in daily functioning and reduced avoidance behaviours across multiple case studies.
Smoking Cessation
The intensive smoking cessation programme combines hypnotherapy with behavioural analysis to break nicotine addiction cycles. Single-session interventions focus on habit replacement and motivation reinforcement, with follow-up support ensuring long-term abstinence. Clients report reduced cravings and increased self-efficacy in maintaining smoke-free lifestyles.
Weight Management
Our weight management approach addresses emotional eating patterns and self-sabotaging behaviours through subconscious reprogramming. By establishing healthier food relationships and improving self-esteem, clients achieve sustainable weight control without restrictive dieting, supported by homework exercises and progress tracking.
Pain Management
Designed for chronic pain sufferers, this programme teaches self-hypnosis techniques to modify pain perception and reduce medication reliance. Sessions focus on improving quality of life through stress reduction and cognitive reframing, with particular effectiveness noted in IBS and post-surgical recovery cases.

Report
I cannot recommend a better hypnotherapist than Elizabeth. Over the last few years after trying CBT and medication to help with my panic attacks/fear of travel, I found Fresh Leaf where Elizabeth has not only helped me in certain life events, but also in day to day matters and my whole outlook on life. I began attending for panic attacks that were mostly associated with travel (planes, buses, trains, boats, cars etc) and bit by bit with work both from myself and Elizabeth, my recent flight to and from Spain could not have gone any better! Aside from arming me with ways to control and calm my state
