Hypnotherapy in Winchester

You've already been in a trance today

Hypnosis isn't strange or mystical. It's a natural, focused state your mind slips into all the time; hypnotherapy simply uses it on purpose.

Lost in a film

Jumping at a scare you knew was coming

Motorway autopilot

Arriving with no memory of the last few junctions

Deep in a book

Not hearing someone say your name

The pre-sleep drift

That floating space between awake and asleep

All of these are light trance states: focused attention, the outside world dimmed, the imagination wide open. Clinical hypnotherapy guides you into that same state deliberately, then uses it to update the patterns your subconscious runs, the habits, fears and automatic reactions that logic alone has never been able to shift. You stay aware, in control, and able to stop at any time. The only thing that changes is what your autopilot does next.

What we treat

What hypnotherapy helps with

Anxiety & overthinking

Settling the racing, always-on mind that high-achieving lives so often produce.

Habits & dependencies

Smoking, vaping, wine o'clock, sugar, nail biting: rewired where the habit actually lives.

Fears & phobias

Flying, public speaking, needles, dentists. Learned in a moment, unlearnable too.

Confidence & performance

Presentations, interviews, exams and sport, with the inner critic finally off the microphone.

Sleep & insomnia

Retraining the mind to power down, instead of holding its nightly board meeting.

Weight & IBS

Our TESR weight programme, Virtual Gastric Band, and evidence-based gut-directed hypnotherapy.

How long does it take?

Some things change in one session. Others deserve a journey.

One of the most common questions we hear in Winchester is "how many sessions will I need?" Here's the honest answer.

In a single session

Focused, extended appointments built for one decisive change.

Stop smoking or vaping for good: one two-hour session
The Obstacle Is The Way™: two hours of transformational coaching
Many simple fears and pre-event nerves respond in one to two sessions

Over a short course

Deeper patterns respond best to steady, layered work.

Anxiety, confidence and sleep: typically one to six sessions
Weight, longstanding habits and deeper work: often six to twelve
Gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS: a structured seven-session programme

Whatever you're facing, you'll get an honest estimate at your free consultation, never an open-ended commitment. Our aim is always the same: get you back to your life, not keep you in therapy.

Common questions

Hypnotherapy in Winchester: your questions answered

Is hypnosis safe? Could I get stuck in it?

Hypnosis is a natural state you drift in and out of every day, and you can no more get stuck in it than you can get stuck in a daydream. If your therapist stopped speaking, you'd simply drift back to full alertness. Our clinical hypnotherapists are fully trained, insured and highly experienced.

Will I lose control or say things I don't want to?

No. You remain aware and in control throughout, your values stay fully intact, and you can't be made to do or reveal anything against your will. Clinical hypnotherapy is collaborative; you're an active participant, not a passive subject.

How do I get to you from Winchester?

It's around 25 minutes: M3 south, M27 west, off at Junction 9 for Segensworth. We're at Arena Offices, Lancaster Court, Barnes Wallis Road, Fareham PO15 5TU, with free parking on site. Online sessions are available 7 days a week if you'd rather not travel.

What happens at the free consultation?

A relaxed, confidential chat about what you'd like to change. We explain exactly how hypnotherapy would work for your goal, give you an honest estimate of how many sessions you'd need, and match you with the right therapist. There's no hypnosis at this stage and no obligation whatsoever.

Is it confidential? I'd rather people didn't know.

Completely. Your sessions, and the fact you're having them, are private. Our practice is discreet, professional and welcoming, and many of our clients are professionals who value exactly that.

How much does hypnotherapy cost?

Your initial consultation is free. Standard hypnotherapy is £90 per session, extended super sessions are £135, and a course of six brings a saving. Specialist programmes are priced individually on our fees page.
