Are you struggling with an addiction that feels impossible to overcome? I specialize in helping individuals break free from the grip of addiction, whether it’s related to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or other compulsive behaviours. Many clients come to me after trying various methods to quit their addiction, only to find themselves caught in a frustrating cycle of relapse and self-blame. Together, we can explore a fresh, empowering approach to overcoming your addiction, enabling you to regain control, rebuild your confidence, and live a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I use an intuitive blend of hypnotherapy, NLP, coaching, and other psychological and somatic techniques to equip you with practical tools for managing cravings when they arise, while also addressing the root subconscious patterns that drive addictive behaviours.

* I create a bespoke plan tailored to your unique circumstances
* Teach you tools to manage urges and compulsions when they happen
*Dive deep into the subconscious to understand and resolve your addictions root cause
*Provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to talk and be heard
*Improve your own internal dialogue
*Show you that change is always possible

Hypnotherapy, NLP and coaching for public speaking confidence

Hypnotherapy, NLP, and coaching are powerful tools for overcoming addictive behaviors, helping you break free from the patterns that keep you feeling trapped and out of control.

By working with the subconscious mind, I help you using:

Hypnotherapy to reframe the way you respond to cravings and triggers, making it easier to stay calm and in control, even in tempting situations, and to explore and resolve the root reason for the addiction.

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques to shift negative thought patterns and reduce compulsive behaviors, empowering you to take charge of your mindset and develop healthier habits.

Coaching to add an additional layer of support, guiding you to set boundaries, build resilience, and create actionable strategies for maintaining long-term recovery.

Along with the other psychological and somatic tools in my toolkit, I create a bespoke plan that provides a holistic pathway to not just overcoming your addiction, but thriving beyond it—allowing you to regain a sense of freedom, balance, and self-mastery.

Other tools:

  • Meditation and mindfulness
  • Breathwork
  • Emotional Freedom Technique
  • Eye Movement Reprocessing (e.g. EMDR)

 5 Signs You Might Benefit from Hypnotherapy for Addictions

  1. Persistent Cravings and Urges
    If you find yourself constantly battling cravings for substances or behaviours, despite wanting to quit, hypnotherapy can help reprogram your subconscious mind to reduce these urges and regain control.
  2. Feeling Powerless to Quit
    When attempts to stop your addictive behaviour result in repeated relapses, hypnotherapy can address the underlying emotional triggers, helping you break free from the cycle of addiction.
  3. Using Addictions to Cope with Emotions
    If you rely on alcohol, drugs, or other addictive behaviours to manage stress, anxiety, or sadness, hypnotherapy can help you develop healthier coping mechanisms and heal emotional wounds.
  4. Struggling with Self-Sabotage
    If you often sabotage your own recovery efforts, whether it’s due to self-doubt or feelings of unworthiness, hypnotherapy can help shift these negative beliefs and reinforce a positive self-image.
  5. Past Trauma Linked to Addictive Behaviors
    For those who have experienced trauma that contributes to their addiction, hypnotherapy can support trauma healing by addressing painful memories, easing emotional pain, and promoting inner peace.
