Hypnotherapy in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast

If old experiences are still showing up in your body, your reactions or your relationships, we can work together to help your system learn that things are safer now.

Who I help

If you’re in Blackpool or around the Fylde Coast and old experiences still leak into the present – in your body, your relationships or how safe you feel – you’re in the right place.

Many of the people I see have already tried CBT, counselling, self‑help or even NLP. Things made sense on paper, but under stress, their body still reacts as if the past is happening now. Find out more about in‑person hypnotherapy in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast.

Anxiety and stress

This might show up as a racing mind, tension in your body, trouble switching off, or always feeling on alert for the next problem. Anxiety and stress can leave you exhausted, second‑guessing yourself and unable to fully relax, even when life looks “fine” from the outside.

Old experiences in the present

You might find yourself reacting more strongly than the situation calls for, feeling shut down or on edge, or repeating familiar patterns in relationships. It can feel as if your body and emotions are still living in the past, even when your logical mind knows you are safer now.

Confidence, habits and patterns

Maybe you know exactly what you “should” be doing, but something keeps pulling you back into old habits, people‑pleasing or self‑doubt. Part of you is ready to move forward with more confidence, while another part quietly hits the brakes or talks you out of it.

Professional background

I’ve been using hypnotherapy and Ericksonian psychotherapy for over 30 years, and I’m an Advanced Practitioner and registered Supervisor with the General Hypnotherapy Register, accredited by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council. I also train NLP practitioners, counsellors and other therapists in Ericksonian and indirect hypnosis, so the methods I use in the room are the same ones I teach to other professionals.

How I work

I combine hypnotherapy, NLP and body‑based approaches in a gentle, conversational way, so we can work with both your mind and your nervous system at a pace that feels safe for you.

Rather than trying to force yourself to “think differently”, we pay attention to how your system has learned to protect you, and then create experiences that help it update. The aim is for change to feel grounded and real in everyday life, not just good for an hour in the therapy room.

About me

I’m a hypnotherapist and NLP trainer based in Lancashire, and I’ve spent the last few years specialising in anxiety, stress and the kind of long‑running patterns that don’t seem to shift just by “understanding them better”.

My background includes clinical hypnosis and Ericksonian work, alongside years of running trainings and working with clients in real life, not just in textbooks. All of that has shaped a practical, down‑to‑earth approach that focuses on what helps your system feel safer, rather than you having to “push through” on your own.

Outside of sessions I’m usually immersed in music, magic or good conversation – all different ways of paying attention to how people think, feel and make meaning.
