An effective non-invasive solution
to overcoming phobias
A phobia isn’t just having a little worry about something. It is a visceral response that seems to take on a life of its own. Your heart pounds, maybe your stomach tightens and you find yourself in a sheer state of terror.
This is when your thoughts can take on a life of their own – catastrophising and imagining worst-case scenarios. This re-enforces the fear which lead you to want to escape, avoid or get as far away from the situation as possible.
Sometimes it can feel incredibly frustrating because there is a logical part of you that knows there’s nothing to be afraid of, while another part is reacting as though the danger is real.
Here is the thing, the more you avoid something, the more powerful it can become in your own mind. What started as a way of protecting you and keeping you safe can become a pattern that can feel almost automatic and incredibly difficult to shift.
Clinical Hypnosis can help you change that pattern so that your thoughts, feelings and physical reactions don’t get to dictate how you live your life.
Whether it’s flying, needles, spiders, heights, driving, vomiting or something more specific to you, you can learn to respond differently and start to live your life more freely, without feeling held back or limited by fear.

I understand that a phobia can feel completely irrational, yet incredibly real. You might know logically that you are safe, but that doesn’t stop your body from reacting as though you are in danger. When something creates that kind of response, avoiding it can feel like the easiest option but that’s a very limiting way to live.
My role is to help you understand what is keeping the fear in place and guide you through the process of changing the way you respond.
My approach is practical, personalised and without judgement. While I lead the therapeutic process, you remain in control of your goals and the direction that works for you.
Clinical Hypnosis paired with Strategic Psychotherapy gives us a way to work with the patterns behind the fear, helping you change the way you think, respond and react.
You don’t need to keep avoiding the things you want to do. With the right guidance, you can start to reduce the fear and move forward with greater freedom.
Unlike some therapeutic approaches Strategic Hypnosis focuses on getting long lasting results in as short a time as possible.
You do not need to spend a lot of time regurgitating your life story over and over again. We look at what you are doing, assess how to interrupt it, and hypnotically install an interruption to that changes the way you experience and manage your pain. Many people get significant results after just a couple of sessions, and get great results after just 6 sessions. Don’t waste another day. There is a cost to therapy, and there is a cost to not doing the therapy.
We can help you dramatically improve your life. Just book your FREE session and make a start.

I highly recommend Jen as I felt so comfortable and calm during our sessions. She is so friendly, warm and gentle. She created a safe, judgment free space where I felt nurtured and empowered with tools to overcome many issues that I have struggled with for so many years, some I wasn't even aware of before our sessions. Thanks so much Jen

Clinical Hypnotherapy is a transformative practice that uses hypnosis to reach beyond the conscious mind, where we often encounter self-imposed barriers. By bypassing these limitations, we can delve directly into the unconscious mind to facilitate significant change. In a state of focused attention, you’ll find it easier to ignore external distractions and embrace tailored suggestions that align with your specific goals. This method is not only safe but also allows you to remain fully aware and in control throughout the process. Many describe the experience as being in a relaxed state where they are present yet feel an intriguing sense of detachment—perfect for fostering personal growth.
Strategic psychotherapy is a focused, goal-driven approach that emphasises identifying and achieving specific therapeutic aims. Rather than delving deeply into the reasons behind a problem, it prioritises where you want to go. Understanding the root of a challenge may not lead to solutions; instead, concentrating on how to address the issue enables us to formulate effective strategies for lasting change.
Strategic psychotherapy integrates various therapeutic models, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and brief therapeutic techniques. Its main aim is to empower clients with practical tools and strategies to effectively manage their concerns.
Anyone seeking to break free from the barriers that hold them back in life can find value in this approach. If you’re weary of endlessly discussing your issues without seeing tangible results, and you’re ready to take actionable steps toward change, this therapy could be the right fit for you. It’s designed for those who are motivated to move forward, embrace practical strategies, and achieve their goals—transforming their challenges into opportunities for growth.
During your first therapy session, we’ll explore the reasons that brought you to seek help and identify your treatment goals. We’ll discuss your medical history and any current challenges you may be facing. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan that aligns with your objectives and sets the stage for your therapeutic journey.
Choosing a hypnotherapist is a key step in your journey, and here’s why I could be the right match for you:
If you’re looking for a hypnotherapist who blends modern practices with a focus on outcomes, let’s discuss how I can help you reach your goals.
The frequency of your therapy sessions will be based on your unique needs and aspirations. Many clients attend weekly, while others may find less frequent visits more suitable. Together, we will establish a personalised plan that aligns with your goals. As this approach emphasises results, extended therapy over long periods is generally unnecessary.
It’s important to remember that there’s no correct way to experience hypnosis. Although some people think that a deeper state of relaxation is required for optimal results, this is a misconception. The success of your session is based on your openness and active participation in the experience, not solely on how relaxed you feel. You can still benefit from the process even if you don’t reach a profound state of relaxation.
During a hypnosis session, you can expect the following steps:
Hypnosis is definitely not like sleeping. During hypnosis, you experience a profound sense of relaxation combined with focused attention. You remain fully conscious and aware of your surroundings, making it a unique state distinct from sleep.
No, clinical hypnosis is not like the theatrical performances you see in movies or on stage. It is a legitimate form of therapy often integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan alongside traditional approaches. You cannot be made to do anything against your will, and you won’t disclose any secrets you want to keep private. While hypnosis can enhance your ability to absorb suggestions, it does not control your actions or force you into any experiences you don’t choose to have.
