Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is internationally recognised for treating psychological difficulty, breaking addictions and clearing the obstacles people cannot simply decide their way past. Its real power shows in sessions that release a trauma formed decades earlier — the kind that quietly shapes an adult life until someone finally addresses it.

What we treat most

The two best-known applications are stopping smoking and weight loss, and both work. Beyond those, most of our sessions deal with phobias — vertigo, stage fright, animal phobias, claustrophobia — nearly all of which trace back to a specific bad experience that the mind has kept live ever since.

Increasingly, people come for anxiety around public appearance: speaking in front of a room, facing senior colleagues, dealing with family members or other figures of authority. It is one of the most treatable things we see.

We also use hypnotherapy preventively — to set someone on a healthier line of thinking so they come back into tune with their own body and personality, and resolve health, mental and business problems that were downstream of that all along.

How many sessions

In most cases one session is enough. The exception is weight loss, where we recommend committing to a full programme rather than a single appointment — the eating pattern has to be rebuilt, not just interrupted.

What actually happens

You remain aware and in control throughout. Hypnosis is a focused state, not unconsciousness, and nobody can make you do anything you would not otherwise do. The session begins with a conversation about what you want changed and why, moves into the therapeutic work, and ends with a clear plan for the following weeks.

Combining it with the rest

Hypnotherapy is one of the mental-side tools we draw on during the Z4 Protocol week, alongside NLP and guided breath work. If your difficulty is mainly psychological, a session on its own may be all you need. If it sits on top of a physical condition, the full week will address both.
