A Personal, Practical Approach
I am Matthew, a hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner and mindset coach. My work combines therapeutic ideas with clear, practical strategies that can be used beyond the session.
You will have space to explain what has been happening, what you would like to change and what feels important to you. From there, we agree an approach that feels appropriate, respectful and manageable.

For stopping smoking, many clients become smoke-free after a single session.
My Approach
People often arrive knowing what they want to change but feeling unsure why the same thoughts, feelings or behaviours keep returning. Rather than focusing only on the surface symptom, we can explore the triggers, learned responses and patterns that may be keeping it in place.
Hypnotherapy can support focused attention and help you engage with new ideas and responses in a calm state. NLP and mindset coaching add practical ways to examine unhelpful thinking, strengthen useful resources and rehearse different choices. The process is collaborative: you remain aware, involved and in control throughout.
There are no guarantees and no fixed number of sessions that suits everyone. We will discuss your aims honestly and review progress as the work develops.
What Happens in a Session?
Your first appointment begins with a conversation about what you are experiencing, how it affects you and what you would like to be different. You can ask questions and share any concerns or preferences before we decide how to proceed.
Depending on your needs, a session may include guided conversation, cognitive hypnotherapy, NLP techniques, coaching exercises or simple strategies to practise between appointments. Everything will be explained clearly, and you will not be asked to give up control.
Many people value having a structured space in which to understand the problem differently and begin developing more flexible responses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be in control during hypnotherapy?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. You remain aware and able to respond, speak or stop at any time.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies according to the person, the issue and the goals involved. We can discuss a suitable starting point and review progress rather than promising a fixed outcome or timetable.

Yes. Online appointments are available through Microsoft Teams or Zoom, provided you have a quiet, private place where you will not be disturbed.

The Reading practice is generally the most convenient in-person option from Henley-on-Thames. Central London and Didcot are also available, and online sessions can remove the need to travel.
Do I need to know why the problem started?
No. Some people know exactly when a difficulty began, while others do not. We can begin with what is happening now and develop the work from there.
