Does hypnotherapy actually work? (And is it right for you?)
If you’ve never tried hypnotherapy, it’s a reasonable thing to wonder. For many people, the word hypnosis alone is enough to trigger scepticism. Associations with

Creating long-lasting change
Hypnotherapy is a fast & effective method for bringing your alcohol consumption to a level you are happy with.
how long has drinking been holding you back?
Drinking is an accepted part of our culture, social events and family gatherings. It’s also a fast route to feeling better after a stressful day at work.
We all know the costs – on our health, energy, sleep, focus, goals and relationships.
You’ve probably wanted to reduce your drinking for some time. Yet habits can be very hard to overcome with thinking & willpower alone. You just end up slipping back into the old patterns.
My clients are amazed by the speed at which hypnotherapy works to change their relationship with alcohol. For some people that means cutting it out altogether. For others it’s reducing it down to a comfortable level.
In either case, I show them how to create a better relationship with drinking that leaves them feeling energised and in control.

why hypnotherapy for drinking works so effectively
Neuroscientists estimate that 95% of our brain activity occurs outside our conscious awareness. Most of our habits and behaviours are patterns in the unconscious.
It’s very difficult to change these patterns using your conscious mind to talk, think or will your way out. You’re using 5% of your brain in an attempt to control the rest.
Hypnosis allows you to access the unconscious, easily bringing unhealthy drinking patterns back under your control.
These new, supportive patterns will rapidly change the way you think and feel around alcohol, giving you back the control you want.
frequently asked questions
How does hypnotherapy for drinking work over Zoom?
My clients love the convenience of sessions over Zoom. Not only can they work on their relationship with alcohol from the comfort of their own home, they save time and effort on travel.
And yes — hypnotherapy is just as effective over Zoom as in person, often even better.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Hypnotherapy is 100% safe, and enjoyable.
Your mind is alert and aware, you’ll hear everything I say, and you’ll remember as much as you would from any normal conversation. You’re in control the whole time.
Want to learn more? Book a time to have a chat with me.
What happens during a session?
We’ll start with a 20 minute chat to understand your relationship with alcohol and what you’d like to change. From there we’ll tailor the sessions specifically to your goals — whether that’s drinking less, drinking only on certain occasions, or changing how you feel about alcohol altogether.
Can I be hypnotised?
Yes — almost everyone can be hypnotised. I’ve yet to work with anyone who can’t experience it in some form.
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and deep relaxation that most people experience in daily life, like daydreaming or getting lost in a good book.
While some people enter a deeper state of hypnosis more readily, even a slight degree of hypnosis is enough to create the positive changes you’re looking for.
How long will it take to make changes?
Most clients notice a shift from the very first session. By the end of the program the goal you set at the start should feel natural and comfortable.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Deeply relaxing and enjoyable. At different points you might feel a lovely floaty sensation, and at others a wonderful deeply relaxed feeling. The feeling isn’t the point – the point is the new relationship with alcohol that you want. It just so happens that the actual experience is interesting and enjoyable.
why work with me?
I first trained as a hypnotherapist 14 years ago in London, where I co-founded a training school for psychologists, therapists & coaches to share the cutting-edge techniques I found so life-changing.
Today, I’m passionate about using evidence-based hypnotherapeutic techniques to help my clients recreate their relationship with alcohol and get more enjoyment from life as a result.
Many of my clients have been kind enough to leave a review. Please read them to see what’s possible.
I’d love to have a chat with you to understand more about your goals and to see if hypnotherapy will be a good fit for you.
If it is, we’ll make a plan to help you feel in control around alcohol again.
“I feel my mind and body getting stronger, and the journey of not drinking alcohol continues to be a positive one for me.
I’m feeling better every day, and it’s truly remarkable to notice the changes.”

Many people find having a few drinks helps them get to sleep, but then report waking in the night and feeling groggy in the mornings.
Studies clearly show that drinking disrupts sleep quality, leading to fragmented sleep and daytime fatigue.
Reducing alcohol intake can unlock deeper, more restorative sleep, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and energised – ready to tackle your day with focus and energy.
