Clinical Hypnotherapy
The Science of Change: Advanced Hypnotherapy & Talking Therapies for Mind and Body.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy uses the power of the mind via guided relaxation to help heal psychological as well as emotional problems. At the Westoe Practice, South Shields our Hypnotherapist helps the patient discover the underlying emotional and psychological causes to their ailments.
Hypnotherapy is different from most other therapies because it works directly with the subconscious mind. This is the part of the mind that thinks, feels and does things automatically without us even having to think about them, for example; breathing and swallowing.
The Hypnotherapist uses hypnosis to access the client’s subconscious mind and avoid any conscious resistance. It is then much easier to find out why a client thinks, reacts and behaves in a certain way. By identifying the cause means that it is easier for the client to accept the change at a subconscious level.

How can it help you?
Hypnotherapy does not claim to diagnose or cure. As of yet it is not scientifically proven to be evidence based and as a result current legislation prohibits us from listing symptoms and conditions that are known to respond well when we follow the well-established principle of naturopathic medicine: ‘That the body be treated as a whole, without referral to named disease’.
If you’re thinking about booking a session or a course of sessions you can book a free 30 minute Zoom or telephone consultation; this is a wonderful opportunity for you to connect with the Hypnotherapist, have a relaxed chat to explore your goals and see whether Hypnotherapy, IEMT, EFT, Psychosensory Therapy, or talking therapy feels like the right path for you.
It’s also a chance for you to get an understanding of how we work, Together, we’ll begin shaping a personalised plan tailored to your needs and aspirations.
A Typical Session
Our sessions are 90 minutes long. While we may explore the roots of certain patterns through compassionate enquiry, our work is primarily forward-focused and about giving you the tools to achieve your unique objectives quickly. You will remain very calm, relaxed, and, most importantly, completely in control throughout. We blend hypnosis with advanced techniques like IEMT and EFT to remove the pain from past events, re-wire habits, and build future resilience in real-time
Around three sessions are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief from many conditions, although further sessions may sometimes be required.
Some of the areas that we specialise in are:
Addiction & Habit Freedom (Alcohol, Cocaine, Sugar)
Anxiety, Mood & Stress Management
Weight Management (The Eazzy Slim Protocol, Hypnotic Gastric Band, and Hypno-no-jab)
Six-Step Smoking Cessation
Maternal Wellbeing (Optimum Fertility & Hypnobirthing)
Neurodiversity & Learning Support

Hypnotherapy is completely safe; it is natural and works with the way that the mind naturally operates. It is recognized by the National Health Service.
No. The hypnotic state, or trance as it is often referred to, is a state somewhere between being fully awake and fully asleep. You have experienced this state many thousands of times as we all go through it each time we fall asleep and wake up. You will not always be aware of it. Most likely you will recognise it as that lovely warm relaxed feeling when you are having a Sunday morning lie-in and you experience a feeling of being perhaps being light and floating or others may feel heavy but relaxed.
No! People are sometimes concerned that they will “lose control” in hypnosis. However, regardless of how deeply people may go in hypnosis and however passive they may appear to be, they actually remain in full control of the situation. They are fully able to talk if they wish to (or not, as the case may be) and can stand up and leave the room at any time. Neither can a hypnotised person be made to do anything against their usual ethical or moral judgement or religious belief. It is likely that the notion of a loss of control stems from most people’s misconception of stage hypnosis, wherein participants are apparently made to perform all manner of (usually foolish) acts. However, the reader should be aware that participation in a stage act is an entirely voluntary process (thus “permission” is already given to the hypnotist) and that there can be no such volunteer who is unaware of exactly what they are letting themselves in for.
