Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. These are some of the areas where hypnotherapy can be most effective, because they’re all shaped by automatic patterns in the subconscious mind, the ones that run beneath conscious thought. For sleep, hypnosis helps calm the nervous system, quiet racing thoughts, and retrain the body’s natural rhythm for rest. Sessions are tailored to what’s behind the issue, not just the symptom. For some people, that means relaxation-based hypnosis; for others, it’s more about guided visualisation and subconscious re-framing. You can read more about these approaches on the Hypnotherapy page, or explore related topics like Sleep & Stress Management and Mindset Coaching for a deeper look at how they work together. Whether you want calmer nights, sharper focus, or stronger self-belief, book your first session and start building change from the inside out. Yes, though you don’t have to. Everything at UTHERAPY is built around the individual, so you can focus on one core element or combine several as your needs evolve. Some clients come for clinical or therapeutic support only (for example, hypnotherapy or mindset coaching). Others start with physical training and later add mental or behavioural work once they feel ready. You can keep things simple, stay within one focus, or create a fully integrated mind-body plan, it’s completely bespoke. Hybrid programmes bring these elements together, for example, combining strength and mobility work with hypnosis or life coaching, to help you build lasting change from both directions. You can learn more about how these options work on the KickStart programme. Whether you’re drawn to therapy, training, or both, book your first session and I’ll create a plan shaped entirely around you. No, absolutely not. You’re always fully in control during hypnosis. You can open your eyes, speak, or stop the process at any point. You can’t be made to reveal secrets, act against your values, or accept any suggestion that doesn’t feel right. Hypnosis isn’t mind control, it’s a focused, cooperative state of awareness where your attention turns inward. You remain conscious, aware, and able to make decisions throughout. My role is simply to guide your focus and offer suggestions that align with the outcomes you want. Think of it as teamwork between your conscious and subconscious mind, not surrendering control to someone else. You can read more about how sessions work on the Hypnotherapy page. Curious about what hypnosis actually feels like? Book your first session and experience how calm, focused, and collaborative it really is. Yes, hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for changing habits like smoking or emotional eating, but it isn’t magic. What makes it effective is how it helps you access the part of your mind that runs automatic behaviour, the same part that drives cravings, routines, and self-talk. Rather than relying on willpower alone, hypnosis works by reshaping the subconscious patterns behind those habits. For smoking, that might mean detaching the behaviour from stress or social triggers. For weight management, it can help reset emotional responses around food, motivation, or body image. Success depends on your readiness to change and your consistency between sessions. My role is to guide that process, reinforce new associations, and give you practical strategies that make the change stick. You can learn more about how I use hypnosis for behaviour change on the Hypnotherapy page, or explore the KickStart programme if you’d like to combine mindset work with structured fitness coaching. Thinking about making a lasting change? Book your first session and take the first step toward breaking the cycle for good. It depends on what you want to change, and how you want to approach it. Hypnotherapy works best when you’re trying to shift something deeper: habits, fears, emotional triggers, or subconscious patterns that feel stuck no matter how much you think about them. It’s about working beneath conscious thought to change automatic reactions. Life Coaching is more practical and forward-focused. It’s ideal when you know what you want but need help creating structure, accountability, or a clearer mindset to get there. Coaching helps turn insight into action. Many people find the two work best together: hypnotherapy clears the internal resistance, while coaching builds the framework to maintain progress. You don’t have to decide upfront, I’ll help you figure out what fits during your first appointment, and your plan can evolve over time. You can read more about both approaches on the Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching pages. Not sure where to start? Book your first session and we’ll choose the right blend of support for your goals. Online hypnotherapy is every bit as effective as in-person work, it just requires a little preparation to make sure you’re comfortable and free from distractions. Before your session: You don’t need any special equipment or prior experience. I’ll guide you through everything step by step, including what to expect as you relax and how to return to full awareness at the end. If you’re unsure what online hypnotherapy involves, you can read more on the Hypnotherapy page, or explore Programmes if you’d prefer a structured self-guided option. Ready to experience your first session? Book an online appointment and I’ll help you prepare for a calm, focused, and effective start. It depends on your goals, how you like to work, and what kind of change you’re aiming for. Some clients notice shifts after just one or two sessions, while others prefer a longer, more structured programme to support lasting results. For hypnotherapy, short-term goals like habit change or confidence building often take between 3–6 sessions. Deeper or long-standing issues may benefit from a longer plan so we can work through layers at a comfortable pace. For coaching or fitness programmes, progress tends to unfold over several weeks as new routines and mindsets take hold. Regular check-ins and tracking in the UTHERAPY app help you see tangible progress along the way. There’s no fixed timeline, your plan adapts as you do. You can explore different options on the Programmes or Booking pages. Want to know what a realistic timeline looks like for you? Book an initial session and we’ll map out a plan that matches your goals and pace. Yes, when it’s delivered by a qualified professional, hypnotherapy is completely safe. It’s simply a relaxed, focused state where you remain aware and in control throughout. There’s no loss of willpower or “mind control,” just guided attention to help you access the part of your mind that runs your automatic habits, beliefs, and emotions. It isn’t suitable for everyone, though. People with certain psychiatric or neurological conditions (such as psychosis, epilepsy, or severe dissociative symptoms) should speak with their doctor first. I always review your health history and goals before any session to make sure the approach is right for you. Hypnotherapy can support a wide range of issues, from sleep and stress to motivation, weight management, or unwanted habits. You can explore the different ways I use it on the Hypnotherapy page. Not sure which approach feels right for you? Book an appointment and we’ll find the best way forward, whether that’s insight-based, subconscious, or a mix of both. It’s completely okay, and actually quite common. Strong emotions often surface during hypnotherapy because we’re working directly with the subconscious, where experiences and feelings are stored. When something meaningful releases, emotion is simply the body’s way of processing it. You’ll always remain aware and in control. If tears come, we pause; if something feels overwhelming, we slow down and use grounding techniques to keep you comfortable. The aim isn’t to suppress emotion but to help it move safely through, so it no longer needs to hold space in the same way. You can learn more about how sessions are structured and what to expect on the Hypnotherapy page. If you’re worried about how you might respond, book an initial session and we’ll talk through what feels safe and manageable before we begin. That’s more common than you might think, and it doesn’t mean you did anything wrong, or that therapy “doesn’t work” for you. Sometimes the approach, the timing, or even the relationship just wasn’t the right fit. Change only sticks when the method matches the person. At UTHERAPY, the process is completely tailored, not a single script or fixed formula. I combine elements from hypnotherapy, mindset coaching, and physical wellbeing so we can approach the problem from different angles, rather than repeating what hasn’t worked before. Some people need a practical, structured plan. Others need space for deeper subconscious work. Most need a mix of both, and that flexibility is what tends to make the difference. You can explore how I adapt programmes to the individual on the Therapy Services and Programmes pages. If you’ve been disheartened by past experiences, book a first session, we’ll start fresh, with an approach that meets you where you are now. Coaching works best when you’re ready to make a change but aren’t sure how to turn intention into action. It can support almost any area where mindset, motivation, or structure play a role. Typical goals include: Rather than analysing the past, coaching focuses on strategy, accountability, and momentum, helping you set clear goals and keep moving toward them. I often blend coaching with hypnotherapy when subconscious patterns are blocking conscious plans, so progress feels easier and more natural. You can learn more about how I work on the Life Coaching page, or see how it combines with physical training in the KickStart programme. Have something specific you want to change? Book your first session and let’s turn that goal into a clear, achievable plan. Counselling and hypnotherapy both aim to support personal change, but they work through very different mechanisms. Counselling focuses on talking through experiences, emotions, and relationships to gain understanding and perspective. It helps you process the past and explore patterns of thought and behaviour through reflective conversation. Hypnotherapy, in contrast, works directly with the subconscious mind, the part responsible for habits, emotional responses, and automatic reactions. In a relaxed, focused state, you can reshape underlying beliefs and associations more efficiently than through conscious discussion alone. Some people find counselling helps them process and understand, while hypnotherapy helps them retrain and move forward. Both approaches can complement each other depending on your needs. You can learn more about my approach on the Hypnotherapy page, or explore Life Coaching if you’re interested in a practical, goal-focused path to change. 💬 Ready to explore what might work best for you?

Mind (12)
For motivation, it strengthens focus and follow-through by reducing internal resistance and mental clutter.
For confidence, it works by updating old beliefs, rewiring unhelpful self-talk, and reinforcing a genuine sense of capability.
In most cases, yes, though it depends on the nature of your condition. I regularly work with clients recovering from injury or managing ongoing health issues, and all programmes begin with a detailed health and lifestyle review to make sure everything is safe and appropriate. If you’re under medical care, I may ask for clearance or liaise (with your permission) with your healthcare provider to ensure your plan complements any treatment you’re receiving. Every exercise or activity can be modified, whether that means adjusting load, range of motion, frequency, or intensity. The goal is always the same: to help you move better, feel stronger, and build confidence safely. You can read more about how I support rehabilitation and long-term wellbeing on the Personal Training and Therapy Services pages. Unsure whether your condition means you can train? Book an initial appointment and we’ll review your history, goals, and current ability to create a plan that works safely for you. Yes. I offer both fully online and hybrid coaching options, depending on what suits you best. Online coaching is ideal if you prefer training from home or need flexibility around a busy schedule. You’ll access your plan through the UTHERAPY online platform, complete with guided workouts, progress tracking, habit tools, and direct messaging for support. Hybrid coaching combines in-person sessions with digital guidance, perfect if you want hands-on technique work alongside the freedom to train independently between appointments. Every plan is personalised, and both options include regular check-ins and programme updates to keep your progress steady and sustainable. You can find more details on the Personal Training and Programmes pages. Want to see which option fits your lifestyle? Check out the free KickStart Plan and I’ll help you build a plan that works wherever you are. Every client’s journey is unique, so I use a dedicated app to help you stay on track and see your progress in real time. Whether you’re working on physical fitness, mindset, or habit change, your plan is created around your personal goals, and adapted as you grow. Inside the app, you can log sessions, track milestones, message me directly, and review your progress whenever you like. I monitor everything from activity and outcomes to mood and motivation, so we can make adjustments that keep things effective and achievable. No two programmes are identical, your plan evolves with you. Want to see what the app looks like in action?

, I take a broader view, because lasting change isn’t just physical. Your body, mind, and lifestyle are all connected. So instead of pushing you through a one-size-fits-all routine, I combine physical training with tools from hypnotherapy, mindset coaching, and behavioural science to help you stay consistent, motivated, and genuinely aligned with your goals. That means we don’t just build strength, we build awareness. You’ll learn how stress, sleep, nutrition, and self-talk all shape your progress, and you’ll have a plan that adapts as your life does. You can explore more about this integrated approach on the Mind, Body, and Spirit pages, or see how it comes together in the KickStart programme.

difference for yourself. That depends on how you’re working with me, in person, online, or through a self-guided plan, but the focus is always the same: getting to know you and creating a plan that genuinely fits your life. In-person sessions start with a conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and any current injuries or health conditions. We’ll complete a short movement and posture assessment, then begin with tailored exercises to set a clear, achievable baseline. Online sessions follow a similar structure, but assessments are adapted to what’s practical for your space and equipment. You’ll connect through the UTHERAPY app for guided workouts, real-time progress tracking, and direct messaging for support between sessions. Self-guided programmes are built after an initial review of your goals and health questionnaire. You’ll receive a structured plan with videos, schedules, and progress tools inside the app, so you can train confidently at your own pace. Whichever route you choose, your plan evolves with you, I monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure each stage feels challenging but realistic. You can learn more about available formats on the Personal Training and Programmes pages. Want to find the best fit for you? start with Kickstart and I’ll help you get started with the right format and plan. Most home programmes are designed to work with whatever space and equipment you already have. In many cases, all you’ll need is a mat, a stable chair, and your own bodyweight. If you have extras like resistance bands, dumbbells, or a step, I can build them into your plan, but they’re never essential. Each programme is fully tailored, so I’ll design your workouts around what’s practical, safe, and realistic for you. You’ll be able to view your routines through the UTHERAPY app, with clear videos and progress tracking built in, so you can train confidently at home. You can read more about online training on the Personal Training page or explore the KickStart programme if you’d like a structured hybrid plan that combines fitness and mindset work. Not sure what setup will suit your space? Book a session and I’ll create a plan that fits your home, equipment, and goals.

Dream interpretation therapy is a way of exploring the messages, emotions, and symbols that surface in your dreams as insight into how your subconscious mind processes life. In sessions, we look at recurring themes, images, and feelings to understand what they might represent in the context of your current experiences. Dreams often act as a kind of emotional shorthand, they show what’s unresolved, what’s shifting, or what your deeper mind is trying to communicate. By unpacking those patterns together, you can uncover links between your dream world and waking life, leading to greater clarity, emotional balance, and creative insight. It’s a reflective, collaborative process, often used alongside hypnotherapy or coaching to help integrate what your dreams reveal into practical change. You can learn more about this approach on the Dream Interpretation page, or explore other areas like Past Life Regression. Want to understand what your dreams might be showing you?

Getting started is simple. I offer bespoke wellness consultations for workplaces, teams, and organisations who want to improve staff wellbeing, resilience, and engagement.

From there, I’ll design a proposal outlining recommended services, formats (in-person or virtual), and measurable outcomes.
