ABOUT HYPNOTHERAPY & PRICING

During trance or hypnosis, our brains are naturally and safely activated to be receptive and open to new learnings. We are able to draw wisdom and insights from our past experiences and inner knowledge, to find solutions and answers to questions, both consciously and subconsciously. Latest neuroscientific research shows that the brain has neuroplasticity. Indicating that our brains are highly adaptable have the incredible ability to rewire themselves. As humans, we can literally reshape and rewire our brains using relaxation, visuaulisation, positive thoughts and experiences to seek positive outcomes and build resilience.

TESTIMONIALS

What my clients say about their experience with me:"After failing three exams due to anxiety, which had started to affect my everyday life, I decided to try hypnotherapy. From the moment I met Zoe, her friendly posititve attitude and clear knowledge made me feel that hope and help were finally within reach. After just 3 sessions I sat my next exam ﹣ and oh my goodness, I sailed through it! I was calm, focused and confident the whole way. I passed with ease, and soon after I passed the next one too.
Before seeing Zoe I felt overwhelmed. Now? I take it all in my stride. I cant thank her enough." ﹣ B.C."Working with Zoe has been truly life changing for me. From the first session, she created a warm non-judgemental space where I felt truly safe to open up and begin my healing journey.""I came feeling overwhelmed by anxiety after a difficult divorce. After just a few sessions I noticed a shift in my mindset. I am now feeling more grounded and at peace and better equipped to handle life's daily challenges. After every session I feel stronger to face the week ahead. I love having the sleep MP3 to listen to at night, helping me to relax and reset before sleep. I cant recommend Zoe enough." ﹣ S.H."I first came to Zoe with chronic fatigue and anxiety, focusing on the more pressing each time. The space is tranquil and her voice is soothing. She thoughtfully uses appropriate bespoke language patterns and I find them engaging. Using the sleep MP3 helps me sleep more deeply and calm my body and mind. The solution focus is transformative to my day and has given me skills for the longer term. I would highly recommend her to others." ﹣ A.H."Zoe's voice, her calm energy, and the peaceful space she creates makes every session feel deeply healing. I always feel seen, supported and safe to be myself. Her words are always exactly what I need to hear. It's been such a powerful experience." ﹣ J.M.
