Personalised Hypnotherapy Sessions
Not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Your goals, your experiences and your individual needs guide the way we work together.
Individual Hypnotherapy
Personalised support.
A different approach to creating change.
Sometimes, understanding what we want to change isn't enough to make it happen.
We can recognise the habits we'd like to break, the behaviours we'd like to change or the feelings we'd like to respond to differently, yet find ourselves falling into the same patterns.
Clinical hypnotherapy offers an opportunity to explore these patterns and work towards meaningful change.
At Your Studio, individual hypnotherapy is tailored to you, your circumstances and what you'd like to achieve. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, we'll work together to develop a plan that reflects your needs, goals and preferences.
Whether you're looking to change a habit, work towards a healthier relationship with food, address a particular concern or explore something that's been holding you back, we'll take the time to understand what you're looking for and decide on an approach that feels right for you..
1. Your journey starts with a conversation
Before committing to any sessions, we'll arrange a complimentary 15-minute introductory phone or Skype call.
This is an opportunity for us to have an informal chat about what you're hoping to work on, answer any initial questions and explore whether hypnotherapy is likely to be an appropriate approach for you.
It's also important that you feel comfortable with me as your therapist. Finding the right therapeutic fit is an important part of the process, and this initial conversation gives us both an opportunity to decide whether we're a good fit to work together.
There's absolutely no obligation to proceed.
2. A personalised approach
Following our initial conversation, we'll look at your goals and discuss a suitable approach.
Depending on what you'd like to work on, your plan may involve anywhere from one to six sessions, with additional recordings to support your progress between appointments.
Some clients may benefit from a completely personalised programme, developed around their individual circumstances and goals. Others may be working towards a more specific outcome, where an established therapeutic protocol provides a starting point.
For example, programmes such as weight management and Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy follow a more structured approach, while still allowing room to adapt the process as we go.
Your plan isn't set in stone. We'll regularly review how things are progressing and make adjustments where appropriate.

3. Preparing for your first session
I want you to feel comfortable, familiar and relaxed before we begin, which is why preparation is an important part of my approach.
Once we've agreed on your plan, you'll receive a few resources to help you get ready.
1. Your introductory video
Before your first appointment, you'll receive a short pre-session video explaining what hypnotherapy is, how hypnosis works, what to expect during a session and some common misconceptions.
This means you can become familiar with the process beforehand, leaving more of our appointment time for the actual therapeutic work.
2. Your introductory recordings
You'll also receive one or more introductory meditation or self-hypnosis recordings to listen to in your own time before we meet.
These recordings are designed to help you:
Become familiar with the experience of relaxation and focused attention.
Explore what hypnosis feels like in a comfortable, familiar environment.
Get used to my voice and the way I guide sessions.
Begin developing confidence and familiarity with the process.
By the time we meet for your first full session, you'll already have an idea of what to expect and have had an opportunity to become comfortable with the experience.
4. What happens during our sessions?
Your first full hypnotherapy appointment is 90 minutes, allowing plenty of time to explore your goals, undertake the therapeutic work and discuss any relevant aspects of your plan.
Subsequent appointments, if needed, are 60 minutes.
Depending on your individual programme, sessions may include guided hypnosis, therapeutic techniques, exploration of relevant patterns and responses, and suggestions to support the changes you're working towards.
You may also receive personalised recordings to listen to at home between appointments.
These provide an opportunity to revisit aspects of your session and continue practising the techniques introduced during our work together.
5. Investment
I believe in taking the time to create an approach that is appropriate for each individual, rather than expecting everyone to fit into the same programme.

A personalised 90-minute hypnotherapy session designed to help you explore the thoughts, emotions and automatic patterns connected to the change you want to make.
We’ll begin with a relaxed conversation about what you’d like support with and what you hope to achieve. From there, you’ll be guided into a comfortable state of focused relaxation, where we can work with the subconscious patterns that may be influencing your thoughts, feelings or behaviours.
Your session is tailored specifically to you and may include therapeutic suggestions, visualisation, relaxation techniques and other hypnotherapy approaches suited to your goals.
You remain aware and in control throughout the entire session — there’s no need to “switch off” or give up control.
A calm, supportive space to understand your patterns, work with your mind and begin creating change.
Please allow approximately 90 minutes for your session.
Once you have requested your session, I will be send you a client intake form. Once this is returned, I will contact you to create a time for your appointment.
A monthly online group hypnosis session to help you break the habit of eating at night, that is run every 3 months.
Do you find yourself reaching for snacks in the evening even when you’re not really hungry?
Maybe it’s something sweet while watching TV, a trip to the pantry before bed, or simply the feeling that you need something once the day finally slows down.
Night-Time Snacking Reset is an online group hypnosis session designed to help you change the patterns and habits that can keep evening snacking going.
What happens?
Join us from the comfort of your own home via Skype for a relaxing, guided group hypnosis session.
During the session, we’ll focus on helping you:
Recognise the difference between physical hunger and habitual urges
Break the automatic connection between relaxing in the evening and reaching for food
Create new, healthier responses to cravings and urges
Feel more comfortable saying “I don't actually need that”
Develop a calmer relationship with evening food
Strengthen your ability to make choices that feel good for you
Create a positive bedtime routine that doesn't revolve around snacking
There is no weighing, calorie counting or food diary required.
Instead, the focus is on understanding the patterns behind the behaviour and helping your mind and body respond differently.
One session. One evening. One opportunity to reset the habit.
Online & easy to access
The session is held via Skype, so you can join from your own home.
All you need is a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed, headphones if you prefer, and around 90 minutes for yourself.
Who is it for?
This session may be suitable if you:
Regularly snack in the evenings when you're not physically hungry
Feel like night-time eating has become an automatic habit
Find yourself eating more when you're tired, bored or relaxing
Want to feel more in control around evening food
Have tried simply using willpower and found it doesn't last
Want a gentle approach that focuses on changing habits rather than restriction
You don't have to give up your favourite foods. The goal is to help you feel more in control of when, why and whether you choose to eat.
Group Hypnosis Session
Online via Skype | 90 minutes | Every 3 months
