🌿 Hypnotherapy’s Moment: Why NHS Trials & Modern Healing Are Coming Together

A Powerful Shift in Modern Medicine

It’s incredible to see hypnotherapy, once seen as fringe, now being explored by the NHS as a powerful tool for healing.

The recent Hypnopal trial which started in 2023, led by nurse researcher Ana-Maria Toth at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, tested how hypnosis could help people recover after surgery. Patients received three hypnosis sessions alongside their usual care, and many reported lower pain levels, faster recovery, and less need for medication. One patient even described it as being "in a safe daydream,” fully present but deeply calm (bbc.co.uk).

This is such a powerful validation of something I have always known: hypnosis can be a safe, gentle, and effective way to support deep healing, not just symptom management.

What Is Hypnosis… Really?

In the Hypnopal trial, hypnosis wasn’t a performance, it was a therapeutic, guided experience rooted in evidence-based care. It helped patients feel safer, more relaxed, and more in control of their healing process.

This is exactly how I work with clients.

Using Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy, I guide clients into a focused, calm state where we can safely explore and release the deeper beliefs driving anxiety, pain, stress, and self-doubt.

Whether someone is recovering from emotional trauma, struggling with anxiety, or simply wanting to feel more regulated and calm in their day-to-day life, hypnotherapy offers a gentle and effective path forward.

Hypnotherapy Is Being Taken Seriously—And That’s a Big Deal

From the NHS to frontline police services, hypnotherapy is gaining recognition as a legitimate, helpful support. In one study with Northumbria Police, officers dealing with trauma, burnout, and high stress saw 100% improvement in their mental health after working with a hypnotherapist, and nearly 80% said they felt fully recovered (huntspost.co.uk).

This is no longer just “alternative therapy.”This is modern, mind-body medicine, and it’s working.

Why This Matters for You

My mission is simple:

• Help you get to the root of anxiety, stress, or stuck patterns

• Heal the deeper beliefs (often formed in childhood) that are keeping you in survival mode

• Guide you into a calmer, safer relationship with yourself and the world around you

Hypnosis isn’t about “fixing” you.It’s about helping you remember who you were before anxiety took over.It’s about reconnecting with your inner calm, with the version of you that feels whole, worthy, and grounded.

Final Thoughts

The NHS embracing hypnosis is a sign of the times. It shows that healing is shifting, from surface-level symptom management to deep, compassionate transformation.

If you’ve ever been curious about how hypnotherapy works, or if you’ve tried everything else and still feel stuck, this is your invitation to explore a new path.

And I’d love to walk it with you.
