What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to help individuals achieve a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility.
In this relaxed state, a person may be more open to exploring thoughts, feelings, and memories that are not usually accessible.
Hypnotherapy is often used to address various issues, such as anxiety, stress, phobias, smoking cessation, and weight loss.
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to work with your subconscious mind to make positive changes to how you think, feel and act. It is the only talking therapy that works directly with your subconscious and can be a very quick and effective.
The process typically involves a trained hypnotherapist guiding the individual into a trance-like state through verbal suggestions and relaxation techniques. While in this state, the therapist may suggest positive changes or strategies to help the individual cope with their challenges.
It's important to note that hypnotherapy is not a form of mind control; individuals remain aware of their surroundings and can choose to accept or reject suggestions made during the session.
What we offer
We offer professional hypnotherapy sessions tailored to meet your individual needs.
A closer look
Most of us know how it feels to be stressed, worried or nervous about something. Usually these feelings come and go, however, for people that suffer from anxiety, these feelings last longer and can be much more intense. Hypnotherapy for anxiety aims to seek the real cause of the problem and change your relationship with anxiety for the long term.
Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for stopping smoking/vaping. It is a single session that will last for approximately 2 hours. Smoking is just a habit and, despite what many people believe, nicotine is not addictive, so with hypnotherapy, it is much easier than we may think to stop!
Phobias can develop when an individual has an intense fear surrounding a certain situation or object. They are often more intense than fear and can lead to anxiety and panic attacks for some people. Many of my client’s phobias exist in their subconscious and are learned responses. Hypnotherapy can help you unlearn the fear response and ease the associated anxiety with your phobia.
Weight loss with hypnotherapy is not a diet. It is a whole new permanent and mindful approach to eating and drinking. I offer a choice of either a 4 or 6 session weight loss programme. This can be either my Hypnoslimjab programme, which is a safe alternative to slimming injections, or my Empowered Eating programme, where each session is tailored to your individual needs, such as binge eating, portion control, etc….
Both programmes include a 60-minute online weekly session with me, where we discuss your goals, mood, lifestyle, and monitor your weekly progress. Each session will include hypnosis and an audio recording for you to listen to. These programmes also come with client workbooks, journals, and trackers.
Hypnotherapy is an effective way to help women alleviate the stress and anxiety that can negatively affect fertility and reduce the chances of conception. We take a holistic approach – balancing relaxation, sleep, nutrition and exercise. I can help you to re-set and shift your focus, so you will see yourself as fertile and ready for a baby which has a positive effect on your mind and body.
This is a time of natural transition for women, and hypnotherapy can help you to re-frame it in your mind as a time of liberation. I can help you to feel empowered and to manage the sometimes debilitating symptoms, which can include hot flushes, brain fog and menopause related anxiety. During the peri-menopause and menopause, women can find their metabolism slowing down and this can result in weight gain.
This gentle yet powerful six-session hypnotherapy journey is designed to help you process grief, release emotional ties, and restore your confidence after heartbreak. Through guided hypnosis, personalized reflection, and compassionate support, you’ll learn to let go of guilt, rebuild trust in yourself, and create space for future love and joy.

Client words
What People Say About Us — heartfelt feedback from people who chose to take their next step with Dawn.
Just finished my sessions with Dawn. I chose the weight management option. I'm not going to call it a diet because weight loss is only one part of this amazing offering. ( Although, you do lose weight .. win win) Dawn listens. She really listened to what your individual mind and body require. The sessions were amazing, relaxing, and thorough, and you became aware of your needs in order to get what your body needs. A total body reset!! Thanks Dawn Body reset............ button pressed !!
Dawn has been an absolute miracle worker and has been supporting me to change some deeply embedded bad habits. I was a vape for 2 and a half years, and after just 2 sessions Dawn helped me stop completely, I am now 37 days vape free! We get on so well and Dawn made me feel at ease and supported from the outset. Her support in ending these habits has really helped in rebuilding my confidence. Thank you Dawn!
My husband and I booked hypnotherapy sessions to stop smoking with Dawn. She took the time to time to understand our needs my husband was a very heavy smoker and has to give up due to health reasons. During the sessions we were both completely at ease and she explained the process fully. It was a totally amazing experience, my husband has not smoked for 10 days and myself for 8 days we feel so much better in ourselves. Dawn has been texting each morning to check up on us and offer help and encouragement I have already recommended her to one of my friends, she has a great gift and I would highly recommend her, we both look forward to continuing to be non smokers, I cannot thank her enough for her help, Allison & Gary
Just wanted to do a shoutout post to Dawn from the Hypnotherapy Wellness Clinic! I have been undergoing a number of hypnotherapy sessions for the past month+ for Weightloss. I cannot recommend this service enough, not only have I already noticed a difference in my weight, Dawns incredible skills set has also helped me develop a brand new way of thinking around food and dieting. If you have ever wanted to try this, please do visit her page (tagged) and drop her a Like/Follow/Message... she has sessions in a huge range of areas as well as Weightloss. Thank you Dawn! Xx
Dawn is so talented at what she does! I am working with Dawn on weight loss hypno (slimming jab alternative) and definately had the people around me notice the difference even though it's been a few weeks. My 'food noise' is much quieter, I am more mindful when I eat and am eating much less. Food is less of a focus in my life. My partner also did a session with Dawn in order to quit vaping and he is currently 48hrs vape free! Thankyou Dawn
I couldn't have been in better hands. I had been a smoker for quite a number of years and had tried to quit many times using different methods, but nothing worked. I was starting to lose hope until I found Dawn. Right from the start of my session, I was made to feel completely at ease. Dawn's empathetic and understanding approach to hypnosis helped me to finally quit smoking. It's been over a month now and I'm proud to call myself a non-smoker. I can't thank Dawn enough for her help and I highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling to quit. Thank you, Dawn
I recently had a session with Dawn to stop vaping, and it was an incredible experience. I felt completely at ease. Dawn has a calm, reassuring presence and took the time to understand my concerns before beginning the session. Since our session, l've stopped vaping after just one session. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone considering hypnotherapy. She is professional, compassionate, and very calm. Whether you're new to hypnotherapy or looking for a trusted practitioner, you'll be in excellent hands!
I had a hypnotherapy session with Dawn from the Hypnotherapy Wellness Clinic to help me stop vaping. Dawn was so professional, down to earth, friendly, non judgemental and explained the whole process to me in detail and answered any questions I had. Dawn made me feel really at ease and relaxed throughout the session and really does have such passion and care for her clients - I felt safe and looked after before, throughout and after the session. Dawn checked in with me every day after the session and provided encouragement and support to help me continue to stop vaping. I have been vape free for 4 months now - thank you so much Dawn, I would 100% recommend anyone to book a session!
Frequently asked questions
During the first session, the first half of the session is dedicated to us discussing why you have come to see me and the things you would like to use hypnotherapy for. Prior to your first session you will have completed a questionnaire about yourself, your health and events during your life, so we will discuss these also. Then the second half of the session is your first hypnotherapy session. You will be invited to relax in a quiet comfortable space where I will then guide you into hypnosis.
I work in packages of sessions to enable the best outcome for clients. How many sessions you need depends on your own personal challenges and what you are seeking Hypnotherapy for. Please get in touch for a chat to find out more.
This varies depending on what you are looking to treat with hypnotherapy. We will discuss this during our initial phone call but a good guide is usually we will start with 3 depending on how you are getting on with the process. Some programmes such as weight loss and anxiety, benefit from a 6-8 session minimum commitment.
I offer hypnotherapy sessions online which works just as effectively as in person… so distance and location is no barrier to working with me, we will work online via Zoom video call. There are a few things that can make your experience better. A good internet connection is essential, a quiet and peaceful environment, a set of headphones ensures the experience is as deep as possible. That’s all you need. You can you use a laptop or tablet, and even your phone if needed.
Hypnosis is a natural state for the human body and mind to be in. You will feel deeply physically relaxed. You will be alert and will be able to hear me, although you may not hear every word. Importantly, you will be in full control at all times, the therapist cannot make you do anything you do not wish to or is against our ethical and moral code. If you wish to stop, you will be able to do so.
You will be in control the entire time and should you wish to stop the session at any time, you will be able to. I cannot make you do anything you don’t want to do.
Hypnosis is a completely natural state which you will have experienced many times before. The only side effects that you will experience are a sense of well-being and calm. Clients often report sleeping better, feeling calmer, more confident and a general sense of well-being following sessions.
