If you're reading this, you’ve likely realised that change starts in the mind, but sometimes, the conscious effort (all that willpower and logic!) just isn't enough to break old patterns.
That's where hypnotherapy comes in. It’s not about magic or mind control; it's a completely natural, deeply relaxing state where your subconscious mind is most open to positive suggestion. It’s a powerful, fast-acting way to create profound, lasting shifts in how you think, feel, and react.
At HM Coaching, we don't spend sessions dwelling on past trauma or analysing what went wrong. I specialise in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH), which is all about leveraging your brain’s natural ability to thrive.
What does "Solution-Focused" mean for you?
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is incredibly effective at creating rapid shifts in ingrained patterns, allowing you to regain control and clarity quickly. Here are some of the most common issues I support clients through, along with the typical commitment:

Working on things like confidence building, healthy habit change, and anxiety. Every session is designed to move you closer to your calm, resilient self.
£75 per 60 minute session

A focused, structured program, around a primary phobia which develops directly from an initial direct experience.
3–4, 60 minute sessions for £250

A single, focused session that helps you stop smoking by breaking the subconscious patterns that drive the habit. The aim is to reduce cravings, remove the emotional pull of cigarettes, and help you feel more confident and in control as a non-smoker.
While many people experience a significant shift after just one session, success depends on your motivation, readiness to stop, and commitment to change.

Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy is recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) as a treatment option for IBS, particularly when symptoms haven’t improved with diet, lifestyle changes, or medication alone.

Pain is shaped by how the brain interprets signals from the body. Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy works with the language of pain, gently shifting how sensations are experienced and understood. Through guided relaxation and focused suggestions, it can help reduce intensity, create a sense of control, and make pain feel more manageable, without denying it.

Hypnotherapy for weight loss helps you change habits, manage cravings, and shift your mindset around food and exercise. By working with your subconscious, it supports healthier choices, reduces emotional eating, and strengthens motivation, making sustainable changes feel easier and more natural.
This approach complements any diet or lifestyle plan and focuses on building a positive, confident relationship with your body rather than quick fixes or restrictions.

It is a state of focused attention, rather like being absorbed in a book or a hobby. It feels a bit like daydreaming.
Yes. You can talk, open your eyes and stop at any point. You're in charge of the experience.
Most people can be guided into a comfortable hypnotic state, your hypnotherapist may measure your susceptibility with you if you or they feel that's best for you.
There isn't a right or wrong way to do this, it's your way that matters. Relaxation isn't required and some people don't visualise, they might imagine in sound, feeling or concept so Hypnosis adapts to your natural style.
We always discuss your hopes and goals and we discuss suitability too. We'll talk about things like consent and contradictions before we start.
