Hypnotherapy with Orly

01/03/2026

There’s something about this time of year, as the daffodils begin to bloom, that naturally aligns with growth.

One area of growth that hypnotherapy has helped me with is confidence. For me, it’s been about trusting my abilities more, having more clarity, being ready to start new things and less likely to second-guess myself.

Confidence can mean different things for different people. The work isn’t usually about fixing something that’s broken — it’s about self-discovery and strengthening what’s already there.

When your inner voice feels calmer and more supportive, decisions feel easier and you trust yourself more. A quiet confidence that can change a lot.

Spring doesn’t force growth. It creates the right conditions for it — and that’s often how hypnotherapy works too.

If you’re curious or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Wondering what to expect?

One of the most common things people say before booking is…
“I don’t know what to expect.”

So here’s what a first session with me is actually like.

We talk. The first session involves gathering information and understanding what’s been happening for you. I’ll ask about what’s been going on, what you’d like to be different, and what might be driving things beneath the surface. We go at your pace.

If you feel comfortable, we then move into hypnosis. Hypnosis is a focused state of directed attention, where we utilise your imagination to help you achieve your goals. You’re aware throughout, and you can move or speak at any time if you wish. There’s no swinging watch. No loss of control.

The hypnotherapy process involves guiding you into hypnosis (this is called the induction), and then beginning the therapeutic work. This will include carefully tailored suggestions designed to support the changes you want to make.

If appropriate — and often in subsequent sessions — we may move into more analytical work, gently exploring where certain patterns began and helping your mind update responses that are no longer helpful.

My role isn’t to “do something to you”. It’s a collaborative process where I guide you into a state where change feels safe, natural and achievable.

You don’t have to be a certain type of person.
You don’t have to be “good at relaxing”.
You just need to be willing and open-minded.

If you’re curious but nervous, that’s completely normal — and I’m always happy to answer questions.

A lot of the time there isn’t one big reason — it’s simply that someone is tired of the way things are.

- Tired of overthinking.
- Tired of feeling on edge for no clear reason.
- Tired of knowing what they “should” do, but not being able to make it stick.

Hypnotherapy can sometimes be a relatively quick solution to a specific issue, and sometimes a more gradual journey of self-discovery. Often it relates to things like:
– anxiety
– low confidence or self-doubt
– people-pleasing and guilt
– feeling stuck or overwhelmed

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone — and you don’t need to have a “big” problem to benefit.

🙀Hypnotherapy myth busting 🙀

You’re always in control with hypnotherapy!

I remember watching the Paul McKenna stage shows as a kid and being totally fascinated… but also thinking “there’s no way I’d ever get on that stage!”

Stage hypnosis is designed to entertain. Therapeutic hypnotherapy is very different.
You don’t lose control and you don’t do anything you don’t want to do.

In hypnotherapy, you’re aware, you can talk, move, laugh, stop at any point. It is a collaborative process where you are guided to access your inner resources.

I’ve enjoyed working with habits like nail biting recently, and it’s often much simpler than people may expect.

We start by noticing when and why the habit shows up — the triggers - for example, moments of stress, boredom or an automatic response. From there, we look at introducing a new, equally soothing but more supportive behaviour to meet the same need.

My work is always tailored to the specific needs of my client, where sometimes exploring the deeper cause of a habit is helpful and sometimes it isn’t necessary at all.

What matters most is helping the nervous system feel supported and giving it a safer, kinder option.
