Services

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy at OLIP Therapy uses guided relaxation to address anxiety, phobias, and habit changes. Our practitioners help clients access subconscious patterns to reframe negative behaviours. Clinical studies show hypnotherapy reduces stress hormones by 30%, making it effective for smoking cessation, weight loss, and chronic pain management while promoting lasting behavioural change through positive suggestion.

Counselling

Our counselling services provide structured support for depression, relationship issues, and trauma recovery. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, we help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop coping strategies. With 14,430+ clients supported since 2003, our therapists create safe spaces for emotional exploration, helping individuals build resilience and achieve 50% symptom reduction in clinical studies.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy at OLIP addresses PTSD and trauma through bilateral stimulation techniques. This evidence-based approach helps process distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact. Research shows EMDR achieves 70% improvement rates by reprocessing traumatic experiences, making it particularly effective for clients with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and complex trauma histories while improving emotional regulation.

Couples Counselling

Couples counselling at OLIP uses Emotionally Focused Therapy to rebuild trust and communication. Our therapists help partners identify destructive interaction patterns and develop healthier conflict resolution skills. With 70% of couples reporting significant improvement, sessions focus on emotional validation and creating shared goals to strengthen relationships while addressing underlying attachment issues and communication breakdowns.

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy

Our weight loss hypnotherapy programme addresses emotional eating and unhealthy habits through subconscious reprogramming. Combining CBT with hypnotic suggestion, we help clients develop mindful eating patterns and improve body image. Clinical evidence shows 30% better outcomes compared to traditional methods, with clients reporting improved self-esteem, reduced cravings, and sustainable weight management through changed thought patterns and behaviours.

During my first session with Sue, I was very overwhelmed and was not too sure if I had made the right decision attending the session. She made me feel very welcome and did not make any judgments towards how I was feeling. She has provided me with support/guidance throughout and I am grateful to be able to continue my recovery with her x

I have always been obsessed with becoming the best version of myself and have read many books etc, but since seeing James, I have made the biggest difference in my life. I have started to challenge my belief systems that have been holding me back subconsciously, which has allowed me to become happier, more confident, more focused, and more clear minded. Out of all of the things I have achieved in 2021, I am most proud of who I have become from the work I have been doing with James. The team here are incredible people and could not recommend them enough. Thank you

Thank you so much for your help and particularly to Ant whos help has been fantastic across the 7 sessions Ive had with him. To be able to feel comfortable to talk openly and honestly without any fear of feeling judged is a massive help and has had a huge impact on how I feel about myself and the areas of my life that were making me feel very anxious.
Ive learned a number of new techniques and ideas of how I can manage my thoughts that I feel confident about using going forward.
Ant is a great listener and has provided such positive advice and Im truly grateful for this. The environment
