Work With Your Unconscious Mind for Positive Change
What if the solution to your anxiety, unwanted habits or stuck patterns was simpler than you think?
Our unconscious mind is a powerhouse and is estimated to control 95% of our beliefs, emotions, behaviours, habits, automatic responses and past experiences. It operates beneath our awareness, influencing our daily choices and actions. When we try to change a behaviour, habit, or response without addressing the underlying beliefs in the unconscious mind, we will find ourselves falling back into old patterns despite our conscious intentions.
This is why willpower alone rarely creates lasting change.
How Hypnotherapy Actually Works
The 95% Solution
Your unconscious mind controls:
Automatic body functions
Conditioned emotional responses
Habitual behaviours
Self-image and identity patterns
Core beliefs about yourself
Physical stress responses
Hypnosis is a powerful tool that helps change beliefs at the unconscious mind level.
What Hypnosis Feels Like
Hypnosis is simply focused relaxation, like being absorbed in a good book or movie. You're aware of everything happening, you can speak and move and you remain in complete control.
You cannot be made to do anything against your will or values.
What Hypnotherapy Can Transform
Anxiety & Panic
Instead of just managing anxiety symptoms, hypnotherapy reprogrammes the unconscious patterns that create anxious thoughts and panic responses.
Most clients experience significant anxiety reduction within 2-3 sessions. Many report feeling calmer than they have in years.
Unwanted Habits
Whether it's smoking, nail biting, drinking alcohol, vaping or procrastination, hypnotherapy makes positive changes feel automatic and natural.
Effective habit changes for:
Smoking cessation/vaping
Nail biting and hair pulling
Procrastination
Sleep improvement
Fears & Phobias
Hypnotherapy can often eliminate even severe phobias in 1-3 sessions.
Common phobias I work with:
Flying, heights, spiders, wasps, enclosed spaces
Medical - needles, medical procedures, undergoing CT and MRI scans
Dental procedures
Driving anxiety
Social situations
Confidence & Self-Esteem
Low confidence often stems from unconscious beliefs formed in childhood. Hypnotherapy can identify and transform these limiting beliefs, allowing your natural confidence to emerge.

Hypnotherapy FAQS
Is Hypnotherapy safe?
Absolutely. Clinical hypnotherapy is completely safe when conducted by qualified practitioners. You remain aware and in control throughout the session and can emerge at any time.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is simply a state of focused relaxation. You hear everything, remain aware of your surroundings, and cannot be made to do anything against your values or beliefs.
How is Hypnotherapy different from stage hypnosis?
Completely different. Therapeutic hypnosis is a collaborative healing process focused on your goals in a safe, professional environment – nothing like entertainment hypnosis.

Everyone can benefit from hypnotherapy. If you can focus, follow instructions, and use your imagination, you can achieve a therapeutic hypnotic state.

Most clients see significant improvement within 3-4 sessions. Complex issues may require additional sessions but positive changes typically begin immediately.
