A Personal, Practical Approach

Hi, I am Matthew, a cognitive hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, mindset-change coach and life coach. I specialise in helping with addictions, confidence and anxiety-related issues.

It is essential to find the right therapist, coach and person to help you. You will have space to explain what has been happening, what you want to change and what feels important to you. From there, we agree an approach tailored to your needs.

Starting something new can be the hardest part, and sometimes we all need help. Simply exploring your options is already a useful first step.

Using a combination of cognitive hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, life coaching and ideas from positive psychology, I aim to help you understand the patterns behind the problem and develop a calmer, more useful response.

Change does not necessarily need to take years or even months. The process is collaborative and requires effort from both sides. For my part, you will receive a creative, versatile and personalised approach focused on your goals.

It can be remarkable what happens when your unconscious mind is working with you. My aim is to help you address the root of the problem, deal with present concerns and create a more useful direction for the future.

I believe people benefit from focusing on their solution state rather than remaining centred on the problem. A solution-focused approach can help you recognise and develop your abilities, strengths and resources, increase your confidence and unlock more of your potential.

Client Testimonial

“Thanks to Matthew I haven’t touched a cigarette for the past 18 months and I used to smoke a paquet a day, and that after just one hypnotherapy session. More recently, he helped me a lot with anxiety with one session. Because of anxiety, I wasn’t eating or sleeping properly. I feel 90% less anxious and when anxiety kicks in, it goes within seconds or minutes. Thank you Matthew!”

More Client Testimonials

Caroline Shaw

“I highly recommend Matthew as an experienced hypnotherapist and NLP coach. I went for help with anxiety issues and he quickly helped me clear my unhelpful and negative thought patterns that were holding me back. My lifelong fear of public speaking is now history!

His warm and relaxed attitude makes working together fun and I always know I can go back if I have another issue to clear out. We recently sorted out my compulsive need to keep buying clothes. The next day I went to Selfridges and had no desire to buy anything! That’s a first! A big thank you to Matthew for all the money I will be saving in the future.”

Mateusz Plocharski

“Matthew from Excel Hypnotherapy is great, very knowledgeable and easy to converse with. He helped me with my issues within three visits. They haven’t disappeared fully but I have learned how to control them. I highly recommend Matthew at Excel Hypnotherapy.”

Chamus Faulkner

“I highly recommend Matthew, he changed my life! The sessions with Matthew have been a tremendous help; his experience, knowledge and especially his manner made me feel completely at ease from the first session.

We have worked on brilliant methods of controlling the severe anxiety attacks I once suffered from. Anxiety and panic attacks no longer control my social and work life. I have managed to increase my earnings by 20%, simply because I can work a full week without suffering anxiety attacks. Many thanks for the excellent and personal service I received!”

Hypnosis – Some Facts

  • Hypnosis is a natural state of mind and natural relaxation.
  • You are always in control.
  • You cannot be made to do anything against your will.
  • Hypnotherapy does not have negative side effects.
  • Hypnotherapists do not take control of your mind.

Further explanations of hypnotherapy are available from Wikipedia, the BBC and the NHS.

What Happens in a Session?

The first session gives us time to discuss what has been happening, how it affects you and what you would like to be different. I will explain the approach, answer questions and agree a clear direction with you.

Sessions are structured but flexible. We may explore the triggers and patterns behind the issue, use focused hypnotherapy or NLP techniques, and identify practical steps that support change outside the session. You remain aware, involved and in control throughout.

Call 07807 540142 or contact me for Central London or online appointments.

Therapy – the Past, the Present, and the Future

I use hypnotherapy, NLP and life coaching, often in combination. Therapy can help address the past, present and future: thinking differently about the past, responding more usefully in the present, and looking and feeling differently about the future.

Hypnotherapy, NLP and counselling can help people make sense of past experiences. Hypnosis, coaching and NLP can provide coping techniques for the present. Hypnosis, NLP and life coaching—particularly coaching—can help create a clearer direction for the future.

Online Appointments

Online hypnotherapy, NLP and coaching are available through Microsoft Teams or Zoom. As long as you can be in a quiet, private place where you will not be disturbed, online work can be effective and convenient.

I have worked online with people in the UK and internationally, including clients in Ukraine, Poland, the United States, New Zealand, Brazil and Italy.
