You've managed it long enough. Let's actually fix it.
If trying harder hasn't worked, it's not a lack of effort — it's where the pattern is wired. This approach works at that level.
Hypnotherapy for adults — who are ready for Change — that works at a deeper level
Addictions & Habits — changed at the source, not fought at the surface
Stress & Anxiety — reduced, not just managed, by working at the level that matters
Fears & Phobias — resolved, often faster than people expect
Confidential · Accredited · Results-focused
This works best for people who are done managing it.
Most of the people who come to me are functioning well on the outside. They hold down jobs, look after families, keep it together. But privately, there's something — a habit, a fear, a pattern — that just won't shift. They've tried willpower. They may have tried therapy. They've read the books, understood the logic, and still find themselves back in the same place.
That's not failure. That's what happens when a problem is running below the level where effort and understanding can reach it.
Certain habits, fears, and anxiety patterns operate at an emotional and neurological level that conscious effort can't easily access. Over 18 years and more than 6,000 sessions, I've developed an integrated approach — drawing on hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, CBT, and Human Givens Psychology — that works at that level. Rather than technique alone, I work to understand the structure of your specific problem first. That's what makes change faster and more lasting than most people expect.
This approach works well if you:
· Are ready for real change — not just symptom management
· Have tried other approaches and found them only partially effective
· Want something focused and clear, not open-ended
· Value discretion, professionalism, and results you can actually feel
Where This Approach Works:
quit smoking / Vaping
You already know the reasons to stop. You may have tried before. What you haven't found yet is an approach that changes the urge itself — not just fights it at the surface. Most people are surprised by how straightforward it feels once we get underneath the habit.
Panic Attacks
A panic attack is the nervous system doing what it was designed to do — in the wrong context, at the wrong time. Once we understand what's triggering that response and work directly with it, the attacks reduce in frequency and intensity. Most people feel a shift within the first couple of sessions.
Weight & Emotional Eating
For most people, this isn't about information or discipline — they know what to eat and can't consistently do it. The real driver is usually elsewhere: stress, emotion, habit, reward. When we address that, the behaviour changes — and it stays changed.
ANXIETY & STRESS
Anxiety & Stress Anxiety isn't just worry — it's something you feel in your body, something that takes over before you've had a chance to think. We work directly at that level: calming the nervous system response that's driving it, not just developing strategies to cope with it.
Pain Management
Chronic pain isn't just physical — the way the nervous system processes and amplifies it is something that can be changed. We work on shifting how pain is experienced and responded to, helping you feel more at ease and more in control of your own body.
Fear & PHOBIAS
Whether it's flying, heights, social situations, or something that's hard to explain to other people — the fear is real, even when you know logically it makes no sense. We don't just work on the thought. We work on the response itself, which is where the fear actually lives.
How It Works
Most people who come to me have already spent time — and money — on approaches that only partially worked. This is different. The work is tailored specifically to what you want to address, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. You'll always know what we're doing and why — and the goal from the start is that you won't need to keep coming back.
Step 1 — A Free Phone Consultation
A confidential 20-minute conversation. You tell me what's going on, I explain how I work, and we figure out whether this is the right fit. No forms, no pressure — and a straight answer either way.
Step 2 — Your Sessions
A series of one-to-one sessions built around your specific situation. Each session has a clear purpose and builds on the last. Most people notice a shift after the very first session — the follow-up sessions are there to reinforce and embed that change so it lasts.
Step 3 — Lasting Change
The goal is a shift that holds — not ongoing sessions you depend on. Most clients get to where they want to be and move on with their lives.
18 Years. 6,000 Sessions. One Focused Approach.
I'm Luke Martin — clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, working with adults since 2007.
The people I work with are usually thoughtful and self-aware. They understand their problem. In many cases, they've spent considerable time and energy trying to fix it. What they haven't found is an approach that actually changes the thing underneath — not just their relationship with the symptom.
My work integrates hypnotherapy, Human Givens Psychology, CBT, and NLP into a single process. But what makes it different isn't the method — it's the questions nobody's asked you yet. The ones that take your mind somewhere it hasn't been. That's where the shift happens.
I discovered hypnotherapy because I needed it. Earlier in my own life I encountered patterns that insight alone couldn't shift. Finding a different way to work — one that bypassed the conscious back-and-forth and changed things at a deeper level — was the start of everything I now do professionally.
