I help capable people get unstuck from overthinking, anxiety, self-doubt and habits that no longer serve them—so they can feel calmer, clearer and more in control.
That does not mean you are weak or not trying hard enough. Hypnotherapy gives us a different way to work with the thoughts, feelings and habits that seem to take over before you have had a chance to choose.
I know what it is like to understand a problem and still keep repeating it. Moving between countries meant starting again more than once, while demanding study and years in fast-paced supply-chain roles showed me what sustained pressure can do to sleep, confidence and your sense of direction.
Hypnotherapy helped me make changes that insight and effort alone had not managed. That experience brought me to this work, but your sessions are about you—not about fitting your life into my story.
We start with ordinary questions: what keeps happening, when does it show up, and what would be different in your week if it eased? No grand promise; just a clear place to begin.
For the constant analysing, replaying conversations, planning ahead, and struggling to switch off.
For persistent worry, pressure, and a body that has learned to stay switched on.
For racing thoughts at night, difficulty settling, and waking up already tired.
Confidence and performance are a growing focus of the practice, and I also work with habits, phobias, feeling stuck and other patterns. See the full list on the services page.
We understand what keeps happening, practise a more helpful response and connect it with the situations where you need it.
We slow things down and look at what happens, what sets it off and what it has been costing you.
Using hypnosis, imagery and focused practice, we try out a response that feels more useful and believable.
We connect that response with real situations, so it has somewhere useful to go beyond the session.
We agree one priority first: what is difficult now, and what progress would look like in an ordinary week. That gives us something real to review.
We start with the change that matters most, a simple starting point and two or three signs of progress we would both recognise.
Progress means better weeks, not just feeling relaxed in the room: steadier moments, better sleep, things you find yourself doing again.
Around session three we look at what has moved and decide together whether to continue, adjust or finish. The work never just drifts.
Most focused pieces of work take a small number of structured sessions rather than continuing indefinitely.
Anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt and habits often make more sense when you understand when they began and what they have been trying to do for you.
We do not have to fight those responses or label you as broken. We can work with them carefully, while helping you build more choice, steadiness and self-trust.
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. Hypnotherapy does not hand your judgement or choices to the practitioner. The work is agreed in advance, transparent and led by what you want to change.
A focused, absorbed state where we work with thoughts, feelings and habits 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. I started out as the student who thought he could wing everything, drifting with no real direction, until the gaps caught up with me and the struggling became real. Rebuilding from the basics ended with a full scholarship to Peking University, where I graduated top of my cohort in the most demanding years of my life. 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.
