Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis can sometimes be made to sound mysterious or even a little magical. My approach is much simpler: honest, practical and achievable.

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and deep relaxation in which you remain aware and in control. In hypnotherapy, that state is used therapeutically, with suggestions and techniques tailored to the individual and what they want to work on.

Every client is different. As you become deeply relaxed and focused, I use therapeutic suggestions that are specific to you, your circumstances and the changes you want to make. There is no one-size-fits-all script.

And there is no crystal ball, pendulum or mysterious device involved. Just a professionally trained practitioner, a clear therapeutic purpose and a collaborative process.

Hypnotherapy isn't magic — but there is a growing body of scientific research exploring how hypnosis can affect attention, perception, pain, emotional responses and behaviour.

Hypnosis has been used in medical settings for decades. In the United States, the American Medical Association recognised hypnosis as a legitimate form of medical treatment as far back as 1958.

Research continues to explore where hypnosis and hypnotherapy can be helpful, including areas such as pain management, anxiety, habits and behaviour change. As with any therapeutic approach, outcomes vary from person to person.

What matters to me is using the evidence responsibly, while keeping the work practical, individual and grounded in what you actually want to change.Hypnosis and hypnotherapy are not quite the same thing

Hypnosis is the process of entering a focused state of attention and increased responsiveness to suggestion.

Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of hypnosis to work towards a                  particular goal, delivered by a suitably trained practitioner.

MY TRAINING & APPROACH

Why experience and training matters

My approach to hypnotherapy is grounded in professional training, practical experience and a belief that every client is unique.

I trained in London with The NLP Company and completed further specialist hypnotherapy training in the USA with Banyan Hypnosis, undertaking several different courses. I was also awarded Master Hypnotherapist with the National Guild of Hypnotists.



I draw on this training alongside my wider experience in counselling, coaching and personal development, adapting the work to the individual rather than relying on a standard script or approach.

What clients said about their hypnotherapy exerience

Every client brings something different to the work. Here are some of the experiences people have shared after working with me.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I could not have imagined how well it worked for me. I highly recommend Flourishing. Margie is so nice and puts you at such ease and completely understood what I wanted to get from hypnotherapy. Life-changingver before. My anxiety attacks have decreased, and I now have the tools to manage them when they arise.

I had hypnotherapy with Margie and a better practitioner I don't think I could have found. Her aura from the moment we met put me at ease. The environment was so cozy & relaxing with those little touches that helped & invited you to feel safe and secure. You couldn't help but immediately start to participate in the treatment. Margie is excellent at what she does and I already feel the benefits. I looked forward to going to her. She has a kind, caring & non-judgemental attitude & I opened up to her more than I have ever opened up to anyone. I would recommend her to anyone seeking to change their mindset and I can't thank her enough for the help, support and kindness. Her prices are excellent too compared to others & really affordable, but don't be fooled as the price does not reflect the excellent work she does. It just means it's more accessible to the normal person. She is there to help and that shows in every session. Thank you for everything Margie. I will be recommending you to everyone!

Margie is such a kind, caring, and thoughtful person. I went to her because I had a massive fear of driving to the point where I felt like if the driving hypnosis didn't help, I would honestly give up trying to drive! However, even after the first session, I felt so much more relaxed and confident when it came to driving, and my confidence only grew more and more after each session. Not only that, Margie made me feel more confident as a person and very much happier in myself. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great hypnosis experience. I don't have a date for my driving test just yet, but I know I will definitely be going back to her for one session before I do the test because the hypnosis really makes me feel incredibly calm and confident. I have already recommended her to friends and would highly recommend her to anyone reading this review. Amazing!

Very professional! I would highly recommend! Has helped me in many ways and continuing to help! Improvements every week!

The most amazing magical experience of my life. Changed everything for me and Margie was just incredible with me I am so grateful x

I had several hypnosis sessions with Margie during my pregnancy to ease my anxiety and it has changed everything.I am now a lot more prepared confident & ready for my birth & becoming a parent. My thoughts have changed from negative thinking to positive. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

I found myself really struggling with work related issues. I signed up for the 5 week program & it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Margie helped me relax and gave me some simple tools which have helped me get real perspective on my issues and I now feel relaxed and happier than I had felt for a long time. My work issues no long seem as important and no longer control my life.

Great service, had 7 calls from therapists based all around my location .Chose one near to me ,A MASTER HYPNOTHERAPIST SO TOP CLASS PERSON.VERY IMPRESSED. WELL DONE BARK

This was an absolutely amazing experience, so relaxing and amazing results

For years, I battled with anxiety, finding myself often overwhelmed by its constant presence in my life. The weight of it felt heavy and relentless, making even the simplest tasks seem daunting. However, after only a handful of hypnotherapy sessions, I discovered a newfound control over my emotions that I had never experienced before. Anxiety and insomnia had dominated my life, robbing me of the joy I once felt, but hypnotherapy has truly guided me toward a profound sense of calm and peace. My anxiety attacks have diminished significantly, allowing me to navigate my days with a refreshed outlook, and I’ve gained invaluable strategies to cope effectively when they do occur.

I worked with Margie and she kindly took me on as a client on short notice. From the minute I spoke to Margie on an initial call and then meeting in person at her home, I knew I was going to benefit from her help.The way she works is quite unique and we got along so well, which probably helped with my own mental state overall. She understands everything that is going on and immediately puts you at ease from day one. The amount of sessions is different for everyone however I felt myself drawn to do more with her just because of the benefits. I cannot thank her enough for the quality of life I have gotten back and will be booking again soon for follow up wellbeing. Thanks Margie, you deserve all the business going forward.
