Hypnotherapy in Alderley Edge

My clinic at 40 Nursery Lane in Wilmslow is just two miles from Alderley Edge — a five-minute drive along the A34. It genuinely doesn't get more local than this. You could even walk it on a pleasant day, though most people drive and find parking easily nearby.

Being so close to Alderley Edge means I understand the local community well. I know that my clients here often lead high-pressure lives, whether they're running businesses, managing demanding careers, raising families, or dealing with the unique pressures that come with living in a high-profile village.

I bring over thirty years of clinical experience to every session. My qualifications include a BA Hons degree, a Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnotherapy, Master NLP Practitioner status, and certification as a Trainer in both Hypnotherapy and EFT. I'm registered with the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), and the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR).

I also offer online sessions for those times when getting to the clinic doesn't fit your schedule. Whether you're travelling for work or simply prefer the comfort of home, online hypnotherapy is just as effective.

Over thirty years, I've treated an extraordinary range of issues. Here are some of the most common reasons people from Alderley Edge and the surrounding area come to see me.

Anxiety, Stress, and Panic Attacks

Anxiety doesn't discriminate. It affects people regardless of their circumstances, and it can be utterly debilitating. Hypnotherapy for anxiety works by accessing the subconscious patterns that drive anxious thoughts and responses. Combined with EFT, it's one of the most effective approaches I know — and I've been doing this for over three decades.

Depression and Low Mood

When life feels heavy and nothing seems to lift your spirits, hypnotherapy offers a way to gently shift the subconscious beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck. I work compassionately and at your pace, helping you reconnect with a sense of hope and energy.

Weight Loss

If your relationship with food has become a source of frustration or shame, hypnotherapy for weight loss can change things at a fundamental level. Rather than relying on willpower — which always runs out eventually — I help your subconscious mind align with your health goals, making better choices feel natural.

Smoking Cessation

My stop smoking programme is one of the most popular services I offer. It's quick, effective, and tackles the habit at its subconscious root. Most clients stop in one or two sessions, and the results are permanent because we're changing how your mind relates to cigarettes.

Phobias and Fears

From fear of flying to phobias around dental treatment, public speaking, motorway driving, or anything else, I use a combination of hypnotherapy and EFT that resolves fears gently and effectively. No exposure therapy, no reliving traumatic experiences — just calm, effective treatment that typically takes three to four sessions.

Confidence and Self-Esteem

Whether you need more confidence in business, socially, or in your personal life, I can help. Alderley Edge is a place where people are often expected to be confident and capable, and when you don't feel that way inside, the gap between appearance and reality can be exhausting.

Exam Nerves and Performance Anxiety

Students, professionals, athletes — anyone who needs to perform under pressure can benefit from learning to stay calm and focused. I help you develop the mental tools to access your best performance when it matters.

Insomnia and Sleep Issues

When your mind refuses to switch off at night, everything suffers. Hypnotherapy is exceptionally effective for sleep problems because it works directly with the subconscious processes that keep you awake.

IBS and Digestive Problems

There's substantial clinical evidence supporting hypnotherapy for IBS. I work with the gut-brain connection to calm the overactive signals that cause pain, bloating, and urgency.

Fertility and Hypnobirthing

I help women and couples reduce the stress and anxiety associated with fertility treatment and pregnancy, supporting a calmer conception journey and more positive birth experience.

Children's Hypnotherapy

From age six upwards, children can benefit enormously from hypnotherapy. I help with childhood anxiety, school phobias, bedwetting, nail-biting, confidence, and more. Children respond naturally because their imaginations are vivid and uninhibited.
