We begin by understanding the pattern: what triggers it, how it shows up, and what your mind and body have learned to do.
Clinical hypnotherapy in Rugby for overthinking, anxiety, sleep and confidence. Calm, evidence-informed, and free of quick-fix promises.
When something keeps repeating, it is rarely just weakness or lack of effort. The work is to understand the pattern underneath and help more of you come through.
For the constant analysing, replaying conversations, planning ahead, and struggling to switch off.
For persistent worry, tension, nervousness, and feeling like your body is stuck on alert.
For racing thoughts at night, difficulty settling, and waking up already tired.
I also work with confidence, stress, habits, phobias and other patterns. See the full list on the services page.
A structured approach with a clear arc, not open-ended sessions.
We begin by understanding the pattern: what triggers it, how it shows up, and what your mind and body have learned to do.
Using hypnotherapy and practical change work, we help your mind rehearse and accept a different response.
We reinforce the new response so it becomes easier to access in real life, not just during the session.
Most people work with me across a small number of structured sessions rather than indefinitely.
Many of the patterns that hold us back began as ways to protect us. Anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt or emotional habits often make sense when you understand where they came from.
A person is a system: mind, body, habits, emotions and identity all affecting each other. Hypnotherapy can help you work with that system gently, so something new has a chance to take its place.
Most people have picked up a strange idea about hypnosis somewhere. Stage shows, films, swinging watches, people clucking like chickens. It makes sense to ask what is real and what is theatre.
No. That belongs to stage hypnosis, which is entertainment. Those volunteers are usually chosen because they are responsive, playful and happy to go along with the show.
No. You remain aware and able to speak, move, pause or stop. Hypnotherapy is not something done to you. It is something we do together.
No. If someone wanted to influence you, they would have more luck while you were wide awake. Politics, sales and marketing do that every day. Hypnotherapy is agreed, transparent and led by what you want to change.
A calm, focused state where we work with patterns, habits and responses that already belong to you. Private therapy room, not a stage. Real work, not a performance.
I know the gap between ability and self-image from the inside. Early on I was labelled a struggling student, and I believed it, right up until failing exams forced me to rebuild from the basics. That rebuild ended with a full scholarship to Peking University, where I graduated top of my cohort. It taught me that the story running underneath a person changes what they're capable of, and that the story can be changed.
Before practising full time I spent years in high-pressure logistics and analytics roles, so when you describe deadlines, difficult people and a mind still going at 3am, I'm not guessing. I've practised hypnosis since 2019, trained formally, and my clinical hypnotherapy training is accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM).
My approach is calm, practical and honest about what the evidence supports.
