How It Works

How Hypnotherapy Heals Trauma

Trauma isn't a sign of weakness — it's a memory that got stuck in the nervous system. Hypnotherapy helps the brain reprocess and release it, without you having to re-live the details.

Rewind Therapy

A gentle, dissociative technique that allows the brain to reprocess traumatic memories from a safe, detached position — you observe, you don't re-live.

Safe Place Anchoring

We build a powerful internal "safe place" you can access anytime — grounding you in the present and reducing flashbacks and hypervigilance.

Parts Integration

Trauma often splits us into "parts" — the wounded part, the protective part. Hypnotherapy helps these parts communicate and integrate, bringing wholeness.

Lasting Relief

Most clients feel a significant shift within 4–6 sessions. The memory remains, but the emotional charge is gone — you remember without suffering.

Your safety comes first: We work at your pace, never pushing you to discuss details you're not ready for. Rewind therapy works without detailed disclosure.
What To Expect

Your Path to Feeling Free Again

1

Free Consultation

A gentle, confidential chat. We talk about what you've been through (only what you're comfortable sharing), how trauma affects you, and how we can help. No pressure, no obligation.

2

Safe Rewind Sessions

4–6 weekly sessions combining rewind therapy, safe place anchoring, and parts work. You stay in control throughout — we never push beyond your pace.

3

Release & Integration

The emotional charge lifts. Flashbacks reduce, sleep improves, and you start feeling like yourself again. We finish with self-hypnosis tools to maintain your progress.

Common Questions

Trauma & PTSD FAQs

No — this is the most important thing to know. Rewind therapy is dissociative, meaning you observe the memory from a safe, detached position. You do not re-live it, and you never have to disclose details you're not comfortable sharing. Many clients find it gentler than traditional talking therapies.
A single, one-off trauma often resolves in 2–4 sessions. Complex or long-term trauma (multiple events, childhood abuse) may need 6–12. We offer a fixed-price trauma programme of up to 6 sessions for £420. We'll agree a realistic plan at your free consultation.
Yes — when delivered by a properly trained, registered therapist. Gary holds a clinical supervision diploma (DCH-Sup) and advanced trauma training. We always work at your pace, build a safe place anchor first, and never push you beyond what you can handle. Your safety and control are paramount.
Absolutely — online trauma hypnotherapy is just as effective, and many clients prefer it because being in their own safe space makes the work easier. All you need is a quiet room and a good internet connection. Available anywhere in the UK.
Single sessions are £75. The Trauma & PTSD Support programme is £420 for up to 6 sessions (best value). Concessions at £65/session for military, blue light, teachers and under-16s — military and veterans are particularly welcome for combat PTSD. Your initial consultation is completely free.

PTSD typically follows a single traumatic event (accident, assault, one incident). Complex trauma (C-PTSD) results from prolonged or repeated trauma — often childhood abuse, domestic violence, or long-term captivity. Both respond well to hypnotherapy and rewind therapy, though complex trauma may need more sessions. We tailor the approach to you.
Yes — Gary has extensive experience with military veterans and serving personnel. Combat PTSD, including from Afghanistan, Iraq and Northern Ireland, responds well to rewind therapy. Military concessionary rate of £65/session applies. Online sessions make it easy wherever you're based in the UK.
Many of our clients have tried counselling or CBT first. Talking therapies work at the conscious level — but trauma is stored in the subconscious, in the body's nervous system. Hypnotherapy and rewind therapy access that level directly, which is why people often experience breakthroughs here that they didn't find elsewhere.
