Hypnotherapy in Cardiff
Feel calmer, break old habits, and reconnect with your inner resources
Hypnotherapy is a safe, powerful way to create lasting emotional and behavioural change by working with your subconscious mind. I offer clinical hypnotherapy in Cardiff, as well as secure online sessions across the UK.
What Is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a guided state of deep relaxation and focused attention, a natural, peaceful state similar to daydreaming or the moments before you drift off to sleep. In this state, your mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions that align with your goals and values.
It’s not about mind control or losing awareness, in fact, most clients describe feeling deeply relaxed yet mentally alert. You remain fully in control throughout the session.
“Hypnosis cannot create new abilities, but it can help you use the ones you already have.”
Milton Erickson
Is Hypnotherapy Safe?
Yes. Clinical hypnosis is a collaborative process, you cannot be made to do or say anything against your will. If a suggestion doesn’t align with your values or goals, your mind simply won’t accept it. When the suggestions do make sense to your unconscious mind, they’re often taken on board easily and integrated into daily life.
Hypnotherapy is backed by growing scientific evidence, including brain imaging studies that show real, observable changes in brain activity after sessions. This makes it both safe and effective when delivered by a trained, experienced practitioner.
What Does Hypnotherapy Feel Like?
Clients often describe it as:
“I felt incredibly relaxed, like I didn’t want to move — but my mind was very alert.”
This deeply calm state allows your subconscious to engage in new ways of thinking and processing. It's similar to the REM (dream) state in sleep — a time when learning and emotional processing naturally occur.
