Turn down the volume on pain and get more of your life back. In person in central London or online.
Living with pain day after day wears you down in ways other people rarely see. It steals your sleep, drains your energy, shortens your patience and slowly shrinks your world, as you plan everything around what your body can manage. You may have tried medication, physiotherapy and specialist appointments, and while they have helped, the pain is still there.
Pain is not only something that happens in the body. It is processed, and amplified, by the brain and nervous system. That is why hypnosis, one of the most researched mind-body approaches to pain, can make such a difference. It works on how your brain processes pain, alongside your medical care.
In chronic pain, the nervous system becomes more sensitive over time, so pain signals get amplified, and stress, poor sleep and fear of pain turn the volume up even further. In our sessions, we work on every part of that cycle:
It can help with back and neck pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches and migraines, and IBS-related pain (see gut-directed hypnotherapy).
Hypnosis for pain is one of the strongest areas of hypnosis research. A major meta-analysis of 85 controlled experimental trials found that hypnosis produced meaningful pain relief for most people, with 42% of highly responsive participants experiencing clinically meaningful reductions in pain (Thompson et al., 2019). Results vary from person to person, and hypnotherapy works best alongside your medical care. Read more in my article on hypnotherapy for chronic pain.
1. A free 15-minute call. We talk about your pain and what you would like to be able to do again.
2. Your first session. We look at your pain history and what makes it better or worse, and you experience your first hypnosis session and how it can change the way pain feels.
3. A focused course of sessions. Each session builds your skills further, and you receive recordings and self-hypnosis techniques so you can manage pain day to day.
Please make sure your pain has been assessed by your GP or specialist, and do not change any medication without their advice.

I also work online via Zoom with clients across London, the rest of the UK and abroad.
