Services
Stress Relief
Our stress relief hypnotherapy combines neuroscience and mindfulness to address chronic stress at its root. By reprogramming subconscious thought patterns, clients achieve lasting calm and improved emotional resilience. This service helps professionals and individuals struggling with work-related stress, anxiety, or life transitions.
Smoking Cessation
The one-session smoking cessation program uses clinical hypnotherapy to break nicotine addiction cycles. Clients report permanent behavioural changes after a two-hour session focusing on motivation and subconscious habit replacement. No follow-up sessions are typically required for this targeted intervention.
Confidence Building
Confidence-building sessions address social anxiety and self-doubt through solution-focused techniques. By identifying and reinforcing personal strengths, clients develop lasting self-assurance for professional presentations, personal relationships, or general well-being. Techniques incorporate elements of cognitive behavioural therapy.
Insomnia Treatment
Medical hypnotherapy for insomnia targets sleep pattern disruptions caused by stress or anxiety. The program combines relaxation techniques with subconscious reconditioning to establish natural sleep rhythms. Clients learn mindfulness practices to maintain long-term improvements in sleep quality.
Phobia Management
Phobia management sessions address needle phobias, emetophobia, and other anxiety triggers through gradual desensitisation. Medical hypnotherapy techniques help clients reframe traumatic associations while maintaining full consciousness and control throughout the process. This service is particularly effective for pre-surgical preparation.

When I first met Christine I had a severe gag reflex which made going to the dentist very difficult. Christine taught me how to overcome this. She has a very relaxed style, is very professional and offers a superb service. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Christine was amazing. She asked me what I wanted to achieve outright then worked with me to gain access to my subconscious memories. It worked I found what I was looking for!

I came to see Christine for help with a phobia of wasps. This phobia controlled my life and made me dread the summer months. I was so scared that I would wish to be put into a coma until August and September had finished(!!) and it ruined a 2 week holiday I went on last August. With Christine's help, I am now relatively indifferent to wasps. I no longer particularly care about their presence except for the fact that they're a nuisance, but I am no longer scared. I can't believe I have managed to get to this position as I thought that this fear was just a part of me that I'd have to deal with for

Christine creates a safe and relaxing environment to deliver hypnotherapy. I found the sessions effective to help me in facing my fears and to take steps to recovery. I would not have got to the stage I have without Christine and I really appreciate that.
