How Hypnotherapy Works

Hypnotherapy involves guiding individuals into a relaxed, trance-like state where the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to suggestions. During sessions, I use verbal cues and visualization techniques to help clients modify their behaviours ,patterns ,cycles and beliefs.

​

Weight Loss.

Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for weight loss, helping individuals change their eating habits and address emotional triggers related to food and eating habits. This approach aims to address the root causes of overeating, such as emotional triggers, stress, and unhealthy thought patterns. 

Confidence and Low Self Esteem.

Hypnotherapy utilizes a trance state to access the subconscious mind, allowing individuals to re evaluate and replace their limiting beliefs using positive affirmations. During a session, I will guide you into a relaxed state of mind where we can explore the root causes of  confidence issues, such as negative self-talk or past experiences that have impacted your self-worth.

Low self‑esteem often comes from early experiences, criticism, or repeated failures. Hypnotherapy helps by:

• Accessing subconscious beliefs formed in childhood

• Replacing “I’m not good enough” patterns with healthier narratives.

• Reducing self‑criticism and fear of failure.

• Many people with low self‑esteem replay mistakes or dismiss compliments. Hypnotherapy helps interrupt these cycle of patterns.

• Calms the inner critic

• Emotional blocks that keep you stuck. Confidence and self‑esteem are related but not identical. Hypnotherapy supports both by: Strengthening your sense of self‑worth.

• Helping you feel more capable in social, work, or personal situations

• Reducing anxiety around speaking up, setting boundaries, or trying new things.

Fears and Phobias

Hypnotherapy is widely recognised as an effective approach for reducing and resolving fears and phobias by working directly with the subconscious mind, where automatic fear responses are stored. It helps people change the emotional reaction to a trigger, uncover root causes, and build calmer, more controlled responses to situations that previously felt overwhelming.

 Fears and Phobias operate below conscious control — even when you know something isn’t dangerous, the body reacts as if it is.

Hypnotherapy helps by:

• Reducing the fight‑or‑flight response

• Creating new, calmer associations with the feared object or situation

• Helping the brain “unlearn” the old fear pattern

This aligns with descriptions of phobias as deeply embedded fear responses

Anxiety.

Hypnotherapy is widely used to reduce stress by calming the nervous system, changing subconscious stress responses, and helping people feel more in control. It works by creating deep relaxation, interrupting negative thought patterns, and reducing the emotional triggers that keep stress high.

Hypnotherapy guides you into a deeply relaxed state where the body’s stress response naturally lowers.​

• Slows breathing and heart rate

• Reduces muscle tension

• Helps the mind switch off from constant worry

This relaxed state makes it easier to change unhelpful stress patterns.

So we can identifying subconscious triggers, reframe negative thought cycles.

Create calmer emotional responses.

Stress

​Stress and overthinking feed each other. Hypnotherapy interrupts this cycle by;

strengthening your ability to:

• Stay calm under pressure and Respond rather than react.

• Manage work, family, or life stress more effectively.

• Stress often comes from internal pressure, perfectionism, or self‑criticism.

• Hypnotherapy helps shift these patterns by:

• Encouraging self‑compassion

• Reducing harsh internal dialogue

• Supporting a more balanced mindset.

Relationships.

Hypnotherapy can help improve relationships by addressing the subconscious patterns that shape communication, attachment, trust, and emotional reactions. Recent studies show how early-life experiences, attachment styles, and learned behaviours strongly influence adult relationships, and hypnotherapy helps change these patterns at their root.

​

Hypnotherapy helps calm emotional triggers and encourages clearer, calmer communication. 

Intense emotions and past memories can overwhelm communication, and hypnosis helps regulate these responses.

People often carry emotional baggage from:

• Previous relationships

• Family dynamics

• Betrayal or abandonment

• Childhood trauma

• Hypnotherapy can help process and release these experiences so they no longer affect current relationships.

• Hypnotherapy can strengthen:

• Emotional closeness, trust and empathy .

• Confidence, By reducing fear-based reactions and increasing emotional safety, couples often find it easier to reconnect.

• If you notice patterns such as:

• Choosing similar partners

• Repeating the same arguments

• Feeling insecure or anxious

• Avoiding commitment

• Hypnotherapy helps uncover the subconscious drivers behind these cycles and replace them with healthier patterns.
