I specialise in working with people in the LGBTQ+ and kink communities.

Pre recorded audio

Live one-to one hypnosis is always going to be the most powerful way to use hypnosis to make the changes that you want in your life. I spend a long time before you go into trance discussing what you need to make sure I hone the hypnosis to your exact circumstances.


However, if you're not quite sure about investing in live sessions yet, then I offer pre-recorded audio files ready to download and use at home. They're a great way of trying out hypnosis and learning about my style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hypnosis safe?

Yes. You are always in control during a hypnosis session. If I ask you to do something that you don't agree with, you'll either disregard it, or wake up.
The worst injury that I've encountered from hypnosis is a sore neck when someone has gone into deep trance in a difficult position.

Can I be hypnotised?

Probably. Most people can be hypnotised to some degree. 5-10% of people are highly hypnotisable, and probably the same proportion find it difficult to go into trance.
But whether you're really good at going into trance, or find it difficult, there can be benefits from working together. Even if the trance is very light.

Can you turn me on during hypnosis?

I can. But I won't.
I made a conscious decision not to offer erotic hypnosis services. Please don't ask for that.
However, that doesn't stop me from using imagery from your personal life to help you overcome your challenges. We can discuss what this means to you when we speak.

Does hypnosis work online?

Yes! I do a lot of online work. In fact, being in your own space may mean that you become more relaxed. And it means that, after we say goodbye, you can take some time to yourself without having to get home.
As long as you have a stable, fast internet connection and reasonable wireless headphones, hypnotherapy online can be just as effective as in person. And if you're not near Manchester, then you can get the help you need from wherever you are in the world at a time that works for you.
Of course, working together in person has its own benefits. I can read more of your body language and some techniques require us to be in the same room.
So it's totally up to you.

How many sessions do I need?

This will very much depend on the challenges you are hoping to overcome.
What I've regularly found is that the initial thing that people come to me for help with is not the root problem that they need to work on. So it may take us some time to dig into your story and needs to find exactly what you need.
Some people find just one session is enough. Others need five or ten. If you would like to discuss this, drop me a line we can have a chat about what your specific is likely to need.

How much does hypnotherapy cost?

My base price is £75 per session. However, I offer packages which reduce the price if you have more sessions.
Alternatively, you can purchase pre-recorded audio hypnotherapy files at £10 each.

How can I learn more about you?

Head to the 'free stuff' page on this website to download a complimentary recorded hypnosis audio file.
Alternatively, drop me a message and we can have a complimentary chat about how hypnosis would work for your particular challenges.
