Experience the Transformative Power of Analytical Hypnotherapy.
Analytical Hypnotherapy is a deep and powerful approach to healing that helps uncover and resolve the root causes of emotional or behavioural patterns. Through the gentle use of hypnosis, you are guided into a relaxed, focused state where the subconscious mind can safely express itself, revealing the insights needed for lasting change.
Each session is a collaborative journey into self-understanding. In a supportive and confidential setting either online or in person you are invited to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to create meaningful transformation and renewed balance in your life.
What Is Analytical Hypnotherapy?
Unlike simple Suggestion Hypnotherapy, which offers short-term solutions through positive reinforcement, Analytical Hypnotherapy (or Hypnoanalysis) goes deeper. This technique seeks to identify and release the hidden emotional origins of distress, allowing the mind to reorganise its responses, behaviours, and beliefs at a subconscious level. The outcome is a profound sense of relief, personal freedom, and reconnection with your authentic self.
Ann Hamilton’s practice integrates elements from a range of psychotherapeutic approaches—an eclectic framework that honours the uniqueness of every client. Her work helps address deep-seated anxieties, trauma, and unresolved emotional patterns, supporting true and lasting healing.
Understanding Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a natural, pleasant state of focused relaxation in which the conscious mind becomes quiet, allowing the deeper mind to surface. You remain aware and in control at all times. This state enables access to powerful inner resources and memories, helping to uncover and gently resolve the root causes of distress. Many clients describe it as both deeply calming and illuminating.

The Effectiveness of Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is supported by extensive research and recognised by the British Psychological Society as “a proven therapeutic medium” (The Nature of Hypnosis, March 2001).
Studies have shown strong outcomes for hypnotherapy compared with other modalities:
-
Psychoanalysis: 38% improvement after 600 sessions
-
Behavioural Therapy: 72% improvement after 22 sessions
-
Hypnotherapy: 93% improvement after just 6 sessions
(American Health Magazine, 2007)
A meta-analysis of 600 participants published in Contemporary Hypnosis (2003) found significant improvement in 74% of patients who received hypnotherapy versus 27% in untreated groups, demonstrating consistent and measurable results.
Analytical Hypnotherapy offers a transformative pathway to understanding and healing. By connecting conscious insight with subconscious wisdom, it empowers you to live with greater depth, clarity, and freedom

Reprocessing Trauma, Restoring Wellbeing
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy for the treatment of trauma and emotional distress. Recognised by leading psychological and medical organisations worldwide, EMDR often produces significant results within just a few sessions, helping clients move beyond painful experiences that have held them back.
Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro, EMDR works by helping the brain naturally process and integrate traumatic memories. When a person experiences trauma, the intensity of emotion can overwhelm the mind’s ability to process information normally. These memories may then become “frozen in time,” stored with vivid sensations, emotions, and images that can replay repeatedly—triggering anxiety, flashbacks, or emotional numbness.
Through structured bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or auditory cues), EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories so they lose their emotional charge and can be viewed from a place of safety and distance. The result is a natural reintegration of past experiences—memories remain, but their power to distress diminishes.
After EMDR therapy, individuals often report feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control of their thoughts and emotions. They regain perspective, self-trust, and the ability to engage with life more fully.
What EMDR Can Help With
EMDR has been clinically proven to support healing from a wide range of issues, including:
-
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related to accidents, assault, loss, or life-threatening events
-
Phobias and specific fears (flying, hospitals, public speaking, etc.)
-
Anxiety, panic attacks, and chronic stress
-
Complicated grief and bereavement
-
Depression and low mood
-
Low self-esteem and confidence issues
-
Disturbing memories or persistent intrusive thoughts
-
EMDR is a natural and integrative approach that utilises the brain’s innate capacity to heal. It does not erase memories but helps to change the way they are stored—freeing you from the emotional pain they once carried. Over time, this leads to deep, lasting change and a renewed sense of inner stability and peace.
03.
A journey from discomfort to calm awareness.
Pain can be both a physical sensation and an emotional experience, shaped by stress, memories, tension, and the body’s natural responses to challenge. Hypnotherapy, combined with energy-based techniques, offers a gentle and effective way to reduce pain, restore comfort, and support the body’s capacity to heal itself.
During a pain management session, we work with the mind-body connection to help you access a deeply relaxed state where pain perception can shift. Through guided hypnosis, visualisation, and focused suggestion, the nervous system learns to quieten its pain signals while the body releases held stress and resistance. This process not only eases physical discomfort but can also improve sleep, calm the mind, and encourage emotional resilience.
Pain often carries a message, sometimes from past injury, sometimes from unprocessed emotion or accumulated stress. By bringing understanding, compassion, and relaxation to the site of discomfort, we invite the body’s natural healing intelligence to restore balance from within.
Each session is tailored to your specific needs and may integrate elements of EMDR, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), regression therapy, or guided imagery to support whole-person wellbeing. These approaches are safe, non-invasive, and can complement medical treatments effectively.
Many clients experience a profound sense of relief, empowerment, and renewed connection to their body, learning how to live with greater ease, awareness, and peace.

Experience the Energetic release of EFT
Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT tapping, is a gentle yet powerful energy healing method that helps release emotional distress and restore balance to the body’s energy system. By lightly tapping on specific acupressure points on the face, head, and upper body while focusing on a particular issue, clients can experience relief from anxiety, stress, and emotional or physical tension.
This process, sometimes described as psychological acupuncture (without needles), works by unblocking stagnant energy and calming the body’s stress response. As emotional charge is released, the body and mind regain their natural equilibrium, allowing greater ease, resilience, and wellbeing.
During a session, we combine rhythmic tapping with guided verbal statements that help you acknowledge and reframe the emotional issue at hand. This creates a dialogue between the conscious and subconscious mind, encouraging deep emotional processing and resolution.
As an Advanced EFT Practitioner registered with the Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Therapies (AAMET), I have worked with many clients experiencing a range of challenges—from anxiety, low confidence, and trauma, to chronic physical symptoms related to stress or emotional blockages. EFT is safe, non-invasive, and effective for people of all ages.
Many clients report noticeable improvement even after one session. Over time, this technique helps to dissolve limiting beliefs, release old patterns, and re-establish harmony between mind, body, and spirit.

Past Life Regression Therapy
Past Life Regression Therapy offers a gentle and profound way to explore the deeper layers of your subconscious mind and connect with the wisdom it holds. Through guided hypnosis, you are invited to journey beyond the boundaries of ordinary awareness , to a realm where memories, emotions, and stories from beyond this lifetime may surface for understanding and healing.
Whether or not you believe in reincarnation, this process can be deeply transformative. Many clients find that the imagery and insights accessed during regression bring clarity to recurring challenges, emotional patterns, or physical symptoms in their present life.
Rooted in ancient shamanic traditions and supported by contemporary hypnotherapy methods, Past Life Regression provides a safe, structured, and compassionate environment for self-discovery and healing.
What to Expect in a Session
Each session begins with deep relaxation and guided visualisation to help you enter a calm, receptive state of mind. From this space, you are gently guided through the following stages:
-
Relaxation & Visualisation – Connecting with your inner guidance, such as a Spirit Guide, Guardian Angel, or Power Animal.
-
Transition from Present to Past – Gently moving through layers of consciousness to access memories beyond the present life.
-
Exploration of a Past Life – Observing events, relationships, and experiences through a therapist-guided process.
-
Healing & Integration – Gaining insight, releasing trauma, and finding closure in any unresolved emotions or patterns.
-
Energising & Restoring – Clearing residual energies, balancing the aura, and returning to full consciousness with gentle grounding techniques and light physical rebalancing.
-
Reflection & Recording – Your session is recorded, and you will receive an audio copy for personal reflection, along with a summary report.
-
Because the healing process can unfold over time, follow-up sessions may be recommended to continue or deepen the work initiated in your first journey.
“It puts the client in a magical forest that holds the healing tree.”
— Dr. Brian Weiss, Through Time Into Healing
Past Life Regression Therapy combines elements of hypnosis, psychotherapy, and spiritual healing to awaken inner wisdom, dissolve limitations, and restore emotional harmony. Each journey is unique — a step toward wholeness, understanding, and peace.
Crystal Healing Therapy
Rebalancing Energy and Restoring Inner Harmony
Across ancient cultures and healing traditions, crystals have long been revered for their natural vibrational energy. Each stone carries its own frequency, helping to rebalance the body’s energetic field and restore harmony on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Crystals work holistically, addressing the deeper roots of imbalance rather than alleviating symptoms alone. When combined with Reiki and Sound Healing, this becomes an immersive treatment of resonance and renewal, gently realigning energy, releasing emotional tension, and restoring a profound sense of peace and vitality.
As a qualified Crystal Healing Therapist (MIACHT & ACHO Registered), I offer energy-based sessions that weave together Crystal Therapy, Reflexology, Acupressure, Reiki, and Sound Healing. This integrative approach supports the body’s natural ability to self-heal, easing stress, releasing blockages, and encouraging deep relaxation.
What to Expect in a Session
Each session begins with a short consultation to explore your current state of wellbeing —, physically, emotionally, and energetically. You will then be comfortably positioned while a prescribed crystal web is placed around and upon the body, selected intuitively according to your needs.
As you relax within this safe, restorative space, Reiki symbols and sound healing instruments — such as singing bowls, chimes, or tuning forks — are used to amplify and harmonise the energetic frequency of the crystals. These gentle vibrations work in synergy to balance the chakras, clear stagnant energy, and invite deep cellular renewal.
Clients often describe the experience as deeply peaceful, meditative, and rejuvenating , leaving them with a feeling of warmth, clarity, and restored inner balance.
Crystal Healing Therapy Can Support
-
Stress and anxiety relief
-
Acute and chronic pain
-
Insomnia and relaxation difficulties
-
Energetic blockages and negative thought patterns
-
Emotional imbalance, fatigue, and low mood
-
Whole-body realignment and wellbeing
-
Each session is intuitively tailored to your unique energy, combining crystal placement, vibration, and sound to harmonise the mind, body, and spirit. The result is a restorative state of calm, clarity, and inner balance.

Hypnobirthing is a natural childbirth programme which uses hypnosis, visualisation, relaxation and breathing techniques to create natural anaesthesia. This reduces fear, anxiety and pain from the birthing experience.
Hypnobirthing allows you discover and experience the joy of birth and to learn how to release the fears and anxieties you may currently have about giving birth. Hypnotic techniques aim to teach you ways to stay in control and calm during labour and birth. Using hypnosis in labour can result in a shorter first stage labour and less intense pain.
The ideal time to start classes is between 25 weeks and 29 weeks of pregnancy. This will allow you ample time to practise. If you are already past this stage you may still benefit from classes in your last few weeks of pregnancy
What will you learn at Hypnobirthing sessions?
Deep relaxation techniques and self-hypnosis. These methods can help you to stay alert, but at the same time shut out the world and focus on your body. Hypnobirthing techniques can help you cope with labour and to control or reduce pain without drugs. Visualisation exercises and breathing techniques help to keep you grounded, serene and positive. Increased knowledge and awareness of the process that your body is going through.
Understanding the biology of birth will put you in control of your birthing experience during labour when stress hormones (adrenaline) will flood your body. Adrenaline reduces the blood flow to your uterus (womb) and digestive system. Instead, your blood flows more readily to the large muscles in your limbs so that you're ready to fight or run away.
As a result, the muscles of your uterus will work less well, because they are deprived of blood and oxygen. This can make labour harder and longer. Your baby will be getting less oxygen too. The hormone that eases labour, oxytocin is less likely to be released. Stress hormones stop your body producing oxytocin. At the same time fewer of the natural hormones (endorphins) which help mother and baby to relax are produced.
Controlling your feelings through self-hypnosis can help you to prevent these stress responses from being triggered.
Hypnobirthing techniques will help you to keep higher levels of oxygen in your body because of the special breathing techniques taught. This in turn reduces your need for pain-relieving drugs and increases your chance of having a straight forward birth. The result is that you can stay focused and in tune with your body and baby. Additional reported benefits for the new mother are that she will sleep better, feel healthier, heal quickly and recover faster.
Birth partners can sometimes feel outside the experience of labour and birth. They may be there in the room with you, but find it hard to understand what you're going through. However in Hypnobirthing classes, your birth partner will be involved and will learn alongside you. The Hypnobirthing Practitioner will give you both techniques to practise. The idea is that you become so used to the techniques, it's easy for you to bring them to mind when you need them.
Once labour starts, keeping focused can help you and your partner stay as close as you can to your birthing plan. As a result of this, giving birth is an exciting and joyful experience.
