Hypnotherapy in Wilmslow
If you live in Wilmslow, you have an experienced, fully qualified hypnotherapist on your doorstep. My clinic is located at 40 Nursery Lane, right here in the heart of Wilmslow — no travel needed, no lengthy journeys to find the help you're looking for. This is my home base, and I've been practising here for over thirty years.

No Travel Required for Wilmslow Residents
One of the biggest advantages of seeing me is sheer convenience. My clinic at 40 Nursery Lane is set in a quiet residential area with free parking available nearby. You won't need to battle traffic or plan a journey — for most Wilmslow residents, it's just a few minutes from home.
I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting enough without the added stress of a long drive. Being local removes that barrier entirely. You can fit a session into your day without it becoming a major undertaking.
Over Thirty Years of Experience in Wilmslow
I've been a hypnotherapist since 1994, and Wilmslow has been my base throughout. That's more than thirty years of clinical experience, all rooted in this community. 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).
Over those three decades, I've treated thousands of clients from Wilmslow and the surrounding Cheshire area. That depth of experience means I've seen virtually every issue that hypnotherapy can help with — and many that people assumed it couldn't.
What I Can Help You With
I combine three proven therapeutic approaches — Clinical Hypnotherapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) — to offer a tailored approach for every client. Here are some of the most common reasons Wilmslow residents come to see me.
Anxiety, Stress, and Panic Attacks
Anxiety is one of the most common issues I treat. 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 available — and I've been refining my methods for over thirty years.
Weight Loss
If diets and willpower haven't worked, hypnotherapy for weight loss takes a fundamentally different approach. I help your subconscious mind align with your health goals, making better choices feel natural rather than forced.
Smoking Cessation
My stop smoking programme is one of my most popular services. It tackles the habit at its subconscious root, and most clients stop in one or two sessions.
Phobias and Fears
From fear of flying to phobias around dental treatment, public speaking, or motorway driving, I use a combination of hypnotherapy and EFT that resolves fears gently and effectively. No exposure therapy — just calm, effective treatment that typically takes three to four sessions.
Confidence and Self-Esteem
Whether you need more confidence in your career, socially, or in your personal life, hypnotherapy can help you overcome the subconscious blocks that hold you back.
Depression and Low Mood
When life feels heavy, hypnotherapy offers a way to gently shift the subconscious beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck. I work compassionately and at your pace.
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.
Children's Hypnotherapy
From age six upwards, children respond naturally to hypnotherapy because their imaginations are vivid and uninhibited. I help with childhood anxiety, school phobias, bedwetting, nail-biting, confidence, and more.

The initial appointment is longer because I believe in understanding the full picture before starting treatment. This isn't a conveyor belt — you'll have my complete attention, and we'll develop a plan that's specific to your needs.
How I Work
Every session is built around you — your specific situation, your triggers, your goals, and what resonates with you therapeutically. There are no scripts and no generic recordings. Having trained in Clinical Hypnotherapy, EFT, and NLP — and being qualified to teach all three to other professionals — I can tailor my approach precisely to what will work best for you.
Clinical hypnotherapy is nothing like stage hypnosis. You won't lose control or do anything you don't want to. It's a focused state of deep relaxation where your subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive change. Most people find it profoundly calming.
