Hypnotherapy

Unlocking the Power of Your Mind for Lasting Change

Alison Gallagher Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist and Executive Coach
Hypnosis is not magic—it is a form of communication that allows you to reach deeper levels of your mind.”
— Dr. Milton H. Erickson (Pioneer of modern hypnotherapy)

How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

Hypnotherapy works by guiding you into a state of deep relaxation and focused awareness (a trance-like state), where the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and new perspectives.

  • Identify and change subconscious beliefs – Many challenges stem from deep-rooted thought patterns that hypnosis can help reframe.

  • Break unhelpful habits and behaviours – Whether it’s smoking, emotional eating, or self-sabotage, hypnosis helps you create new, healthier responses.

  • Manage anxiety and stress – Hypnotherapy promotes deep relaxation, reducing the physical and emotional effects of stress.

  • Improve confidence and self-esteem – By reshaping limiting beliefs, hypnosis helps you feel more empowered and self-assured.

  • Overcome fears and phobias – Hypnosis can be highly effective in desensitising irrational fears and rewiring your response to them.

Each session is tailored to your needs, whether you’re seeking relief from emotional distress, habit change, or personal growth.

Have you ever felt stuck in unhelpful patterns—whether it’s anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or unwanted habits? Hypnotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps you access your subconscious mind, enabling deep and lasting change.

What Is Hypnotherapy?

Unlike the myths often seen in the media, hypnotherapy is not about control or mind tricks. It is a safe, natural, and deeply relaxing process that allows you to tap into your inner resources, reprogram limiting beliefs, and gain greater control over your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

Why Hypnotherapy Helps

Hypnotherapy has been extensively researched and is recognised as an effective treatment for a wide range of emotional and behavioural issues. Studies show:

  • Hypnotherapy is highly effective for anxiety and stress – Research indicates that hypnosis is 70% more effective than other treatments for anxiety-related disorders (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2022).

  • CBH (Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy) has a 90% success rate in helping people overcome phobias and fears (British Psychological Society, 2021).

  • Hypnosis rewires the brain – Neuroimaging studies show that hypnosis activates brain regions responsible for self-regulation, pain control, and habit change.

  • Hypnosis can help reduce chronic pain by 75% – Studies show that hypnotherapy is as effective as pain medication for conditions like migraines and fibromyalgia (American Psychological Association, 2022).

My Integrative Approach: Tailored Therapy for You

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to hypnotherapy. That’s why I use an integrative method, combining hypnotherapy with psychotherapy, cognitive techniques, and neuroscience-based approaches to create a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. Some of the most effective hypnotherapy approaches I integrate include:

Clinical Hypnotherapy – Uses deep relaxation and focused attention to help make meaningful changes at a subconscious level.

Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy (CBH) – A combination of hypnotherapy and CBT to challenge and change unhelpful thought patterns.

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy – A forward-thinking approach that helps you focus on positive change and goal-setting.

Regression Therapy – Explores past experiences to understand how they may influence present challenges.

Neuroscience-Based Hypnosis – Uses scientific principles to rewire neural pathways and create lasting behavioural change.

Parts Therapy – A powerful technique that helps resolve inner conflicts by working with different parts of the subconscious mind.

Book an Appointment

Taking the first step toward therapy or hypnotherapy is a big decision, and finding the right therapist is essential. That’s why our first session is a Discovery Call—a chance for us to connect, discuss your concerns, and explore your goals.

During this initial conversation, I’ll take the time to understand what’s bringing you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and any preferences you may have. It’s also an opportunity for us to see if we’re the right fit to work together in a way that feels supportive and effective for you.

Following the Discovery Call, we’ll outline a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs and discuss the different packages and session options available to support your journey.
