Kallisti Hypnotherapy offers a wide range of services. The number of sessions required cannot be estimated because everyone responds to hypnotherapy differently and each problem is unique. If your issue is not listed, please contact me to discuss, as hypnotherapy can help with many more problems.

If you are just curious about what it’s like to be hypnotised, I offer a taster session, during which you will be taken into hypnosis and guided through a pleasant journey, before returning to full awareness.

Eating too much or too little? Hypnotherapy can help you take control of the way you feel about food and change the way you think about exercise. I can help you increase your motivation to keep a healthy lifestyle and think more positively about your body image.

Most people who lose weight can eventually ‘find’ the pounds they previously lost. Do you feel you’re always on a diet? Hypnotherapy deals with why we sabotage our good intentions - a key aspect of weight loss which many diet groups don’t address. You can change your old beliefs and habits associated with food and have the freedom to eat whatever you like. With hypnotherapy, the weight will come off gradually and permanently.

I offer individual and group sessions for weight management. The “Shape-Shifters” group weight loss programme lasts for ten weeks and provides a cost effective solution. The group will meet for two hours, one evening a week. If you are interested in a group near you, please contact me to register your interest and I will let you know when a place becomes available. If you are interested in getting a group of about five friends together and sponsoring a session in your home, then you will only pay half the usual price.

Become a non-smoker and remain free from addiction! Have you tried to give up before and found it difficult or didn’t like the side effects of mood swings or gaining weight? If you are committed to stopping smoking, hypnotherapy reinforces your decision to quit, removes the desire to smoke and deals with the negative behaviours associated with giving up.

Smokers usually only require one individual session, but the stop smoking package includes further hypnotherapy support for a month after the initial treatment, if required. Group sessions are also available to stop smoking, lasting three weeks. The group will meet for two hours, one evening a week. If you are interested in a group near you, please contact me to register your interest and I will let you know once a place becomes available. If you are interested in getting a group of about five friends together and sponsoring a session in your home, then you will only pay half the usual price.

Hypnotherapy has been recognised by many studies as a way to have a shorter labour, need less medication, have a more satisfying birth experience and even reduce the likelihood of post-natal depression. Research in Toronto showed that the average length of labour for non-hypnotised women having their first baby was 12 hours. For women who received hypnotherapy for their first baby, the average was just 5.5 hours.

Hypnotherapy will help make your delivery fear-free, manageable and positive, allowing you to relax to open the way for the baby. By reducing anxiety, the birth of your baby will be a calmer experience, reducing the stress on the baby. As an active participant in the birth experience, you will have total control over your body’s natural ability to give birth, while making use of all the advantages of modern medicine if you wish.

Group sessions lasting three weeks are also available to improve your childbirth experience. The group will meet for two hours, one evening a week. If you are interested in a group near you, please contact me to register your interest and I will let you know once a place becomes available. If you are interested in getting a group of about five friends together and sponsoring a session in your home, then you will only pay half the usual price.

Having given birth to my first baby in two and a half hours with hypnotherapy, please call me at any time during your pregnancy if you wish to discuss the benefits of using hypnotherapy to improve your birthing experience.

If a fear is uncontrollable or irrational, it can be described as a phobia. The phobic normally knows it’s harmless and understands their behaviour is irrational, but they can’t seem to stop it. Since a phobia is a programmed response in the mind, it can be effectively treated with hypnotherapy to overcome the irrational fear and make any rational fear appropriate to the situation.

A phobia may be triggered by personal experience or the experience of others. Sufferers often go to extreme lengths to avoid the object of their phobia and may restrict their normal activities. It is for this reason that by taking steps to cure your phobia, the world will seem less threatening and many other aspects of your life will probably improve.

Improve exam performance, increase your chances of passing and raise your grades, by increasing your confidence, maintaining revision focus and removing any fear of failure. There should be a certain level of anxiety to ensure you are thinking as efficiently as possible, but too much anxiety can result in poor performance. Exam nerves indicate a desire to do well – if you did not care, you would not be nervous about your exam.

Hypnotherapy can help children over the age of seven and a parent must be present throughout their therapy. Between fourteen and sixteen, a child can choose to be treated without a parent being present, but parental consent is still required.

However, exams can be an issue for people of any age. Many jobs require Continuing Professional Development in the form of ongoing training and assessment. Hypnotherapy can also help with driving tests, being audited or inspected, public speaking or being interviewed.

Stress often prompts unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive drinking, drug use, over-eating or under-eating. Many conditions can be triggered or made worse by stress, such as migraines, irritable bowel syndrome or high blood pressure, to name just a few.

As society becomes increasingly fast-paced and more demands are placed on us, stress levels are rising at an alarming rate. Every job has elements of stress, whether you work at the coalface or if you’re a director. The way you handle stressful events at work will determine how successful you are, because being able to remain calm under pressure is a highly valued skill in the professional world.

Stress is created by the way you respond to a situation, so by changing the way you think about certain situations, you not only lower your stress levels, but even convert negative energy into positive motivation to improve your performance.

Thoughts and feelings originate in the mind, so anxiety and depression can be easily treated with hypnotherapy. We explore the cause, resolve the emotions associated with it, and build up confidence and self-esteem.

Hypnotherapy can help you reach your full potential by helping you to increase your confidence, remain calm and focused, deal more effectively with setbacks and perform at your best. We can discuss your individual goals and help you achieve your dreams.
