01 — What I work with
Six things people bring me.
These are the areas I work with most. Past life regression sits apart from them, at the bottom.
You do not need the right words for it before we speak. If yours is not on the list, ask me.
-
Stress and anxiety
When worry fills the day and sleep does not clear it.
-
Confidence and self-esteem
When you hold back in rooms where you would rather speak.
-
Sleep
When the night takes a long time to arrive, or does not stay.
-
Habit change
When something you started has begun to run the day.
-
Phobias and fears
When one specific thing takes up more room than it should.
-
Smoking cessation
Two sessions, with the consultation and the induction included.
Set apart
Past life regression
One longer session of one to four hours, £135. It is a different piece of work from the six above, so it has its own line.
See how it is priced02 — The induction
Ten steps down, then the flat part.
The word for the relaxation at the start of hypnosis is the induction. This is the shape of it, and this is what the first hour and a half holds.
The work starts before the induction. We talk about what you want to be different, and I ask about your history, your fears and what you expect from this. Then I explain hypnosis: what happens in the brain, and how suggestibility works.
I also set out the boundaries, so you know what will and will not happen in the room. That part is not a formality. It is what makes the rest of the session comfortable.
The induction itself can take a few minutes or up to twenty. I watch how you respond and change the approach to suit you. You stay in control, you hear everything I say, and you know where you are.
The first session covers
- Your goals, and why you came
- Your history, and your questions
- How hypnosis works
- Boundaries, and what to expect
- The induction
03 — What to expect
From the first call to the week after.
Four steps, in the order they happen. The first one is free and it commits you to nothing.
-
The free telephone consultation
You ring, or I ring you. You tell me what has been going on and I tell you whether I am the right person for it. If I am not, I will say so.
-
The first session
Consultation and induction together. Your history and your goals, an explanation of how hypnosis works, the boundaries, and then the induction itself.
-
Ongoing sessions
We carry on from where the last one left off, at a pace that suits what you are working on. The same price whether you come to Kingswood or meet me on a screen.
-
After the session
The transition out of hypnosis is gradual. Afterwards, follow-up guidance and tools may be suggested to reinforce the work between sessions.
04 — Where
Kingswood, your home, or a screen.
I work from Sycamore House on the Kingswood Estate, and I travel. Some people would rather meet over WhatsApp or FaceTime, and some are elsewhere in Europe. All of it is the same work.

0117 205 452906 — About Ian
I have been doing this since 2019.
I am Ian. I practise clinical hypnotherapy from Sycamore House on the Kingswood Estate, and I have been doing it since 2019. Most of my work is one to one, with people who want something specific to change and would rather not spend months getting to it.
I am fully qualified and insured, and DBS certified (P0003666J7). I am a 2025/26 South West England Prestige Awards winner. You will not find a long biography here, because the useful part of this work happens in the room rather than in a paragraph about me.
Each hypnotherapy session is tailored to meet unique needs, focusing on replacing negative behaviours with positive, lasting change.

08 — Questions
The things people ask first.
If yours is not here, email me and I will answer it.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Like the minutes before sleep, or being absorbed in something and losing track of the room. You are awake, you can hear me, and you know where you are the whole time.
Will I be in control?
Yes. You cannot be made to do anything you would not choose, and you cannot be made to say anything you do not mean. You can open your eyes and stop at any point.
How long is the first session?
Approximately one to one and a half hours, including the consultation and the induction. It is £60. Later sessions are £60 each.
Can I have sessions online instead?
Yes. Internet, WhatsApp and FaceTime sessions are £60 each, and I also work with clients online elsewhere in Europe. Home visits are available across Bristol and the surrounding area.
How does smoking cessation work?
Two sessions, £135, including the consultation and the induction. The first covers the habit and how it holds, the second carries it on. You will not be asked to pretend it is easy.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies from person to person, and I will not give you a number before we have spoken. We review it as we go, and you are free to stop at any point.
Still wondering? Ring 0117 205 4529 and ask.
