Services
Anxiety treatment
Specialised hypnotherapy for anxiety disorders addresses root emotional triggers through subconscious reprogramming. Combining EFT and NLP techniques, we target panic attacks and generalised anxiety with tailored sessions that reduce physiological stress responses. Clients learn self-regulation methods to maintain long-term emotional stability while addressing underlying causes of chronic anxiety.
Phobia resolution
Evidence-based treatment for specific phobias utilises regression therapy to identify trauma origins. Our systematic desensitisation approach gradually neutralises fear responses while maintaining client control throughout the process. This method effectively treats common phobias like claustrophobia and arachnophobia through subconscious reframing techniques.
Pain management
Holistic pain management combines hypnotherapy with energy psychology techniques to address psychosomatic components of chronic conditions. Targeting fibromyalgia and IBS symptoms, this approach reduces pain perception by resolving emotional blockages stored in the body. Clients develop self-hypnosis skills to manage flare-ups independently while addressing underlying psychological contributors.
Trauma therapy
Specialised trauma resolution protocols address post-traumatic stress through controlled subconscious access. Our approach safely processes unresolved traumatic memories while maintaining emotional regulation. This method effectively treats complex trauma from abuse, accidents, or life-changing events through structured therapeutic sequencing.
Confidence building
Targeted hypnotherapy for self-confidence issues addresses limiting beliefs formed through past experiences. Using cognitive restructuring techniques, we replace negative self-perceptions with empowering mental frameworks. This process specifically targets social anxiety and performance-related confidence issues through subconscious reprogramming.

Chris is a highly skilled and gifted therapist. His welcoming and calm professional manner totally set me at ease from the very beginning. Over our sessions his guidance has been gentle and supportive. I never felt under any pressure to work beyond where I felt comfortable, but encouraged by the results to give my full commitment to the process. If you allow this wonderful man to work with you and help you, you will undoubtedly feel the benefits for the rest of your life.

Chris is a wealth of support and offering techniques to cope day to day. He found the root of my issues and helped me deal with suppressed emotions. I have had anxiety on and off for many years resulting in huge breakdown 5 months ago. After 2 sessions I feel me again and understand going forward how to express these. It is by far the best money I have spent and cannot recommend him enough. I now understand my subconscious and how to keep a healthy mental balance in my life. If your thinking of booking just do it, i felt calm and safe and Chris is extremely proffessional, experienced and understanding

The work I have done with Chris is easily the most valuable investment I have ever made in myself. I'd tried loads of different therapies and self-improvement techniques over 25+ years without any sustainable success, and had given up. My initial goal was to feel my life was 'doable'. I have ended up loving life and feeling completely safe, and at peace, in my own skin. A perspective I haven't known since being a small child. Chris has taught me how to maintain balance in my life in the long term, and I now have the tools to support further growth in a way that is right for me.
