When people start hypnotherapy, they often feel nervous, embarrassed, stuck or unsure what to expect. Many believe their issue is “too big”, “too old”, or “too complicated” to fix. Others worry they’re the only one feeling this way.
You’ll see from the stories below: you are not alone, and change is absolutely possible.
These case studies highlight just a few of the incredible men and women we’ve had the privilege of supporting. Each story is shared with permission. You’ll notice something important, our clients are the heroes of these stories. We’re simply the guides who helped them get where they wanted to be.
If you recognise yourself in any of these journeys, realise that you can rewrite your story too.
Lyn had been living with menopause symptoms for around ten years. She felt mentally, emotionally and physically drained, stuck in patterns she couldn’t break.
Daily hot flushes consumed her energy. Night sweats left her exhausted. Her motivation had vanished, she felt overwhelmed easily, and emotional eating made her feel out of control.
Her nervous system was in a constant state of stress. Hormonal changes, life demands, and emotional depletion were combining to create a cycle of discomfort, low mood and overwhelm.
She stopped cooking proper meals
Weight was increasing steadily
She felt disconnected from herself
Confidence was low
She avoided activities she once enjoyed
She couldn’t fully enjoy her grandchildren
She felt exhausted and emotionally flat
Lyn wanted to feel energetic, healthy and confident.
She wanted to enjoy family trips, feel good in her clothes, and reconnect with her purpose, but menopause symptoms were ruling her days.

Fear of flying • Fear of heights • Panic responses for 11 years
Karen’s fear of heights and flying began 11 years ago and gradually took over her entire life. Even day-to-day situations triggered panic.
Crossing a local bridge caused terror. Taking her daughter to school was stressful. Escalators, walkways, balconies, all triggered dread. Holiday planning felt impossible.
Her unconscious mind had created a powerful danger response after a past emotional event. Even imagining heights triggered panic signals her conscious mind couldn’t override.
Avoiding holidays
Fear of embarrassment
Emotional exhaustion
Difficulty doing normal family activities
Feeling trapped and frustrated
Severe anxiety and heart palpitations
Karen wanted to go on holiday without fear, enjoy family life fully, and regain her confidence, but her phobia was shrinking her world.
Nikki explained how fear pathways work and used a specific hypnotherapy process to release the emotional “charge” behind the phobia.
After just one session:
She imagined flying with calm
Imagined heights without panic
Crossed the bridge near her home
Used escalators confidently
Felt relaxed about her upcoming holiday
“I don’t feel it… I can’t find the fear anymore.”
“It has been life-changing.”
Long-term chronic pain • Medication-resistant • Severe distress
Robert, in his eighties, had lived with chronic pain for years. One evening, his pain was so severe he was shaking, crying, and unable to safely take more medication.
Medication wasn’t helping. He felt desperate, frightened and stuck in unbearable discomfort.
His nervous system was in high-alert mode. Pain pathways were firing intensely, and stress was magnifying the sensation.
Sleepless nights
Emotional distress
Loss of independence
Reduced mobility
Fear of flare-ups
Increased strain on family
He wanted relief, comfort, confidence and time with loved ones without pain dominating every moment.
Chris used a personalised dissociative hypnosis technique based on Robert’s love of owls, helping him calm his nervous system and detach from the pain sensation.
After just 45 minutes:
His pain disappeared
He felt calm, relaxed and relieved
His wife reported he was “like himself again”
Chris also taught him a technique he could use independently.
"I haven't felt this good in months, even with medication"
The next day, Chris received a phone call from Robert's wife. Due to an accident with his medication, Robert had not taken any opioid medication for at least five days. He had been "going cold turkey" and had been experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms common to opioids.
For me this was a clear vindication of hypnosis and hypnotherapy use in the treatment of chronic pain, and the positive effects that even a single session can have upon a sufferer's life.
Across all these journeys, you’ll notice common themes:
These clients were not “weak” or “failing”
They were simply stuck in unconscious patterns.
Their issues were long-standing
Some for decades, yet change still happened quickly.
Hypnotherapy worked because it addressed the real cause
Not the symptom.
The transformation affected their whole life
Not just the main issue.
Their confidence, motivation and identity returned
This is often the biggest win.
You deserve the same opportunity.
Whether you’re struggling with:
weight
menopause
smoking or vaping
chronic pain
phobias
anxiety
low motivation
emotional overwhelm
…you don’t have to keep doing it alone.
Your mind is far more capable of change than you’ve been led to believe.
