At Excel Mindset, I provide professional cognitive hypnotherapy, NLP coaching and practical mindset coaching for people in Pangbourne and the surrounding Thames Valley. Sessions are tailored to you, with no generic scripts or one-size-fits-all programmes.
We work together to understand what is maintaining the problem and develop a calmer, more useful response. Every person is different, so the pace and focus of the work are shaped around your needs and goals.

A Personal, Practical Approach
I am Matthew, a hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner and mindset coach. My work combines evidence-informed 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.

Most people notice meaningful changes within 2–5 sessions, although this varies depending on the individual and their goals.
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 concentrating only on the surface symptom, we can explore the patterns, triggers and learned responses 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 let me know about 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. You will not be asked to give up control, and the work will always be explained clearly.
Many people find it helpful simply to have a structured space in which to understand the problem differently and begin developing more flexible responses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know exactly what is causing the problem?
No. Some people have a clear sense of when a difficulty began, while others do not. We can start with what you are noticing now and work from there.
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.
Can I have sessions online?
Yes. Online appointments are available through Microsoft Teams or Zoom, provided you have a quiet and private place where you will not be disturbed.
