What is it and how does it work?

We believe lasting change begins from within. Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety, phobias, low self esteem, poor sleep, quitting smoking or losing weight, clinical hypnotherapy offers a gentle yet powerful way to unlock your potential and regain control of your life.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help you access the deeper, subconscious part of your mind. In this calm, natural state—similar to daydreaming—you become more receptive to positive suggestions, new perspectives, and healthier patterns of thinking.

Strategic Psychotherapy works alongside hypnotherapy by identifying the specific processes behind your issue—such as unhelpful habits, emotional triggers, or thinking styles—and changing them quickly and effectively. Instead of focusing on the problem’s “story,” it focuses on how the problem operates and teaches you new skills to gain back control.

Stress and Anxiety

Constant worry, racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, or that heavy feeling you just can't shake.

Stress and anxiety aren't just "in your head"--- they affect your body, your emotions and your ability to enjoy everyday life. When left unmanaged it can impact your relationships, your work and your overall wellbeing.

We will help you to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach you strategies to help you regain control of your life.

Self Esteem and Confidence

Clinical Hypnotherapy with strategic psychotherapy can help you identify and reframe limiting beliefs and promote a more positive self-image. We work with you to develop new habits that promote self-worth and confidence, as well as help you set and achieve personal goals.

Fears and Phobias

Hypnotherapy works by helping you identify and release the root cause of the phobia, reframe unhelpful thoughts and associations, build new, calmer responses to previously triggering situations and strengthen feelings of confidence, control, and safety.

Instead of avoiding what you fear, we can help you retrain your mind and body to respond differently — often more quickly and effectively than willpower or talk therapy alone

Dependencies/ Addictions

Smoking/vaping, alcohol, food, or another habit can sometimes feel impossible to break. Often, the addiction isn’t just about the behaviour itself, but about what the mind associates with it — comfort, escape, relief, or reward.

Hypnotherapy helps by releasing the emotional triggers behind the addiction, breaking the link between cravings and automatic behaviours, reframing old patterns with healthier, more positive coping strategies and strengthening motivation, self-control, and belief in your ability to change.

My Story

Hi, I'm Paula.

I have been working in an industry for 20 years where I have heard so many stories from people struggling with anxiety, stress, procrastination, addictions and generally not having a happy and fulfilling life.

When I came across Clinical Hypnotherapy I realised that there is a solution, that is simple, does not require years of therapy and can get results fast.

I want this for you!

I am passionate about using what I have learnt to help you live a life with confidence, and to teach you strategies to cope with the curveballs that life can throw at you.

Are you ready to make a change ?

Here's what our clients are saying.

I was struggling with anxiety & trauma, I felt like I just couldn’t get in front & my mind was always going flat out with negative thoughts. Paula helped me remove the trauma & anxiety from my day to day life. I highly recommend booking an appointment & jumping straight in. I was anxious at first but extremely thankful I got the help I needed.

Thank you so much Paula for helping me get on top of my anxiety and other personal issues. After 4 sessions I feel like a new person and can now move forward with confidence. The tools that Paula has taught me, I can now accept and conquer what life throws at me. Paula is incredibly kind, understanding, knowledgeable and articulate in her theory and ability to apply this to my needs for therapy.

I recommend her to absolutely everyone I know. Thankyou once again Paula

I just realised that when I think about recent stressers I feel unbothered about them this afternoon. My brain just knows they are there and isn’t doing a stress reaction😁I’m just viewing them as things to do just like any other thing I have to do.So I thought I give you some feedback as I realised it.Thank you so much for your sessions and compassion, I know it will keep doing it’s magic in the back ground.
