What can hypnotherapy help with?

Hypnotherapy can help relieve anxiety, aid sleep and build confidence, among other areas. I also support people with stress, low mood and motivation, phobias, and habits such as smoking and vaping, always alongside medical care where needed.

Is hypnotherapy available on the NHS?

Not usually. The NHS says hypnotherapy is not usually available on the NHS and suggests asking your GP about local options. I see private clients in Shelf, near Halifax and Bradford, and online.

For most people, yes. NHS guidance says you are fully in control under hypnosis. It advises not using hypnotherapy if you have psychosis or certain types of personality disorder, and checking with a GP first if you have a personality disorder.

The clinic is at 12 Wade House Road, Shelf, Halifax HX3 7PB, convenient for Halifax, Bradford, Brighouse and Calderdale. Online sessions are available across West Yorkshire and the UK.

What I Help With | Hypnotherapy in Halifax & Bradford

Hypnotherapy for

Anxiety & Stress

Feel calmer, think more clearly and respond to pressure in a way that feels in control. Solution focused hypnotherapy combines practical talking therapy with clinical hypnosis to help you lower the stress that keeps anxiety going.

Hypnotherapy for

Low Mood & Motivation

Rediscover your drive. Shift your focus from what feels wrong to what you want your life to look like, and build the momentum to take small steps towards it.

Hypnotherapy for

Confidence & Self-Esteem

Build a positive self-image and a strong sense of self-worth that holds up when it matters: interviews, presentations, wedding speeches, exams and everyday life.

Hypnotherapy for

Sleep & Insomnia

Fall asleep more easily, stay asleep and wake feeling more rested. The word hypnosis comes from the Greek hypnos, meaning sleep, but hypnosis itself is a state of focused attention, not sleep.

Hypnotherapy for

Fears & Phobias

From flying and spiders to needles and the dentist, a phobia can shape where you go and what you do. Hypnotherapy offers a calm, gentle way to help the fear lose its grip.

Hypnotherapy for

Habits, Smoking & Vaping

Habits run on autopilot, which is why willpower alone often isn't enough. Hypnotherapy works with the triggers, routines and feelings behind a habit, while you stay firmly in charge of the change.
