What It’s Really Like to Have RTT Hypnotherapy with Me in Brighton

When people search for hypnotherapy Brighton, they often want to know what the actual experience will be like before they book in. It’s natural to feel a mix of curiosity, nerves, and hope. You might be wondering: Will I go under? What will it feel like? Will it actually work for me?

I’d love to take you behind the scenes and show you what it’s really like to have Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) with me here in Brighton (or online) from the moment you book, to what happens in the session, to the ripple effects that unfold afterwards.

Choosing a hypnotherapist in Brighton is about trust, resonance, and feeling safe, understood and supported.

What Ozempic Can’t Touch: The Emotional Weight Hypnotherapy Helps You Release

Weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are changing the game for many people, including me.

They can help regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and bring real results where other methods have failed. And yes, they work...I’ve seen the numbers on the scales drop and I’ve felt my clothes loosen.

But what I didn’t expect was this:
After the weight started shifting, I hit a wall.
A wall of burnout.  At first it felt like exhaustion but then I realised it was grief. 

It was confusing at first. Why grief? I was finally getting what I’d wanted right?  A lighter body.
But the truth is, even though the physical weight was leaving me, the emotional weight was still clinging to my system.

 

The Weight Beneath the Weight

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy can change your body,  but they don’t change your emotional patterns.
They don’t help your nervous system feel safe in a new identity.
They don’t address the decades of meaning you’ve attached to food, weight, body image, or hunger.

When You’re Living in Fight or Flight: How Hypnotherapy Restores Nervous System Balance

You know the feeling.

That relentless hum of urgency. The tight chest, the shallow breath, the way your brain spins even when you’re lying still. Maybe you’ve tried yoga, magnesium, mindfulness, even meds, but the sense of “something isn’t right in my body” just won’t lift.

This is the fight or flight response in motion, and if you’re living in Brighton (or anywhere, really), it might feel like the modern world keeps feeding it. The noise, the pace, the perfectionism, the overthinking. But there is a way to come down. A way to let your nervous system breathe again. And that’s where hypnotherapy in Brighton (and online) can offer something gentle, powerful, and deeply reparative.

Living in a World That Doesn’t Let You Switch Off

Let’s be real: the current of modern life doesn’t often reward slowness. Productivity is worshipped. Overwhelm is normalised. We scroll through disasters and dopamine hits, constantly toggling between “too much” and “not enough.”

And if you’ve experienced e...

What does anxiety really feel like?

Anxiety isn’t just “feeling nervous.” It’s that deep, humming hyper vigilance. The way your shoulders live up by your ears. The lump in your throat that no amount of logic can swallow.
It’s the scanning for danger. The second-guessing what others migh...

Stressed and Burnt Out? Reclaim Your Energy and Clarity

 

You’re exhausted before the day begins. You find yourself snapping at the people you love, procrastinating on things that matter, or lying awake at night with a head full of thoughts you can’t switch off.

Even on your days off, your body doesn’t seem to know how to relax. You keep pushing through, putting everyone else first, feeling guilty for taking a break—until eventually, something gives.

This is burnout. And it’s not just about having too much on your plate.

I know this feeling because I've been there.  

What I know to be true is that burnout is often the result of deep, subconscious programming—patterns you didn’t choose, but ones you’ve been unconsciously living by for years.

The good news? These patterns can be changed.
And Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) offers a powerful route to reset your nervous system, rewire your beliefs, and help you reclaim your life.


What Is Burnout, Really?

Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by p...

Driving Anxiety: Understanding the Root and Rewiring the Response

Do you dread getting behind the wheel?
Do you plan your route to avoid motorways, tunnels, or busy junctions?
Maybe your heart races as you approach a roundabout, or your palms sweat at the thought of merging lanes.

If so, you're not alone.

Driving anxiety affects thousands of people across the UK and around the world, and it can range from a mild sense of unease to a full-blown panic attack while driving. For some, it's a long-standing issue. For others, it appears suddenly sometimes after a difficult experience on the road, and sometimes for no conscious reason at all.

But here's the good news: Driving anxiety is not a life sentence. It’s a pattern that can be changed and Hypnotherapy using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) offers a powerful route to long-lasting relief.

What is Driving Anxiety?

Driving anxiety is a specific type of situational anxiety. It’s your mind and body reacting as if driving—or a certain aspect of it—is dangerous, even when rationally, you know you’re...

Navigating The Landscape of Autonomy Trauma: Rebellion, Shame, and the Path to Healing

Autonomy trauma refers to the deep-seated emotional wounds that occur when a child’s natural developmental need for independence and self-determination is stifled by overcontrol, neglect, or emotionally invalidating environments. This kind of trauma can shape a person’s identity (or lack thereof) and influence behaviour well into adulthood.

From a trauma-informed perspective, understanding the origins and manifestations of autonomy trauma is essential for healing. It often divides into two distinct paths: one where individuals rebel against the control imposed on them, and another where they internalise the messages of worthlessness, resulting in profound shame and self-criticism.

In this blog, we’ll explore the childhood conditions that create autonomy trauma, the divergent responses it evokes, and how compensatory strategies develop. We will also examine how Clinical Hypnotherapy, particularly using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), c

Why Over Idealising Your Parents Might Be Stopping You From Recovering

If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression or internalised rage (whether menopausal or not) and you believed you had a happy childhood, you MAY be over idealising your parents.  Read the blog to gain more insight.

Now, before we dive in, I totally understand that this may well be a paradigm shifting read, but if you've found your way here, it's likely that you're already starting to take the rose coloured spectacles off. 

Be kind to yourself as you read this, you really don't need anything else to beat yourself up about. 

Take a breath.  

Believing you had a happy childhood does not make you exempt from having Complex Trauma which may be underlying your anxiety and depression.  Complex PTSD arises as a result of the quality of our attachments in early life.   

The obvious issues are abuse and neglect, but the less obvious ones are:

🥺 Not being allowed to rebel and find yourself (rebellion is how we find ourselves).
🥺 Feeling like you had to keep the peace (it's not your job to ke

How to Manage Guilt From Relationships with Emotionally Immature Parents

Emotional immaturity is a subject that fascinates me.  The more I learn about it, the more I see it in others, but hands up, I've also seen it in myself.   The good news is, when you see it, you can learn from it. 

So strap in, and lets learn.  [Heads up, this topic was inspired by the Living Well Podcast and a conversation between Forest Hanson and Dr Lindsay Gibson]

One of the issues with having emotionally immature parents as an adult, is the guilt that can often be transferred to you.  It's their guilty, projected on to you and if you're not aware it's happening, you may assume it's YOUR guilt. 

In this blog we're going to explore ways of dealing with that guilt but first let's take a look at what emotional immaturity looks like in people so that you can understand it.  When you understand it, you're less likely to let the guilt penetrate your energy system because you'll know that IT'S NOT YOU.  

How Might Emotional Immaturity in Adults/Parents Present?

The Mindset Behind My Couch to 5k Expedition [Part 2]

I completed my 5k milestone on 20th February 2024... Ta Dah! 

And wow what an incredible experience running that final run.  I had Mutemath to keep me company in my ears and when I turned on to the beach decking at around 6pm to fun the final stretch, it was quiet, pitch black, just me and the beach.  I had the biggest smile on my face and I felt so high, in fact I kept on running after the bell.  

All I can say is, the feeling of achievement was so worth it. 

So welcome to part 2 of this blog, if you haven't read part one, you can read it here.

Here's where we get into the real nitty gritty of the mindset hacks I deployed to get me through some of the toughest moments.   

Let's dive in. 

When the going got tough, I pretended I was running with others
I’m a lone wolf.  Always have been.  I prefer living to the beat of my own drum.  But when the going gets tough, you need others.  I’d read somewhere that running in packs is encoded into our DNA and so when things felt tough I t...
