Praise for Re:New Hypnosis

I have helped many people and would love to help you. Here’s what some of my clients have said:

Confidence

“Jennifer is amazing. She changed my views on hypnotherapy. Working together, we focused on increasing my personal peace, mental strength and confidence. I've come away from our sessions a new man, helping not only myself but my family as well.” —Client testimonial

Anxiety and self-esteem

“I visited Jennifer seeking help for my anxiety and low self-esteem. Over the course of sessions that she organised for me, I learnt to understand myself more, to relax more and to enjoy my life more. Highly recommended.” —Client testimonial

Expectations met

“The sessions we had together were really helpful, and fulfilled all my expectations and beyond.” —Client testimonial

Worries

“I stumbled across Jenny, went along with a face that said I don’t rate this but let’s see!! I told her all my strange worries. Several weeks on I am dealing with them in a positive effective way that I never thought possible.” —Client testimonial

Insomnia, for twenty years

“I’m so happy Jen and I found each other. I had run out of hope of ever finding a remedy for my insomnia that I'd been struggling with for over twenty years. Jen’s calm, soothing and rational approach to her techniques made me feel totally in control at all times and cared for. What a wonderful practitioner.” —Client testimonial

Sleep and smoking

“Jen has been a God-send. Within a few sessions she taught me so much, and my insomnia is now a thing of the past, as I am now having a more restful sleep. I feel less anxious and have massively cut down on my smoking. Thank you Jen, you’ve also saved me a small fortune! I would highly recommend using Jen, anyone debating hypnotherapy, don’t, just go for it!" —Client testimonial

Breathing & focus

I found the breathing techniques Jen taught me very helpful and they have significantly helped with my sleeping. I use rapid self-hypnosis at work – wow! So good for helping me feel calm and focussed.” —Client testimonial

Weight Loss

“I didn’t believe hypnosis would work, but with the knowledge it had worked for friends, I gave it a try. WOW! I felt fully in control at all times, even when under hypnosis and my weight loss journey has moved up a gear thanks to Jen.” —Client testimonial

Frequently Asked Questions

Most people I work with have never been hypnotised before. I hope the following answers some of your questions, but do feel free to contact me if there is anything else you would like to ask.

Q. Is hypnosis a recognised therapy?
Yes! Hypnotherapy has been officially categorised in the UK as a 'Complementary Therapy'. Other complementary therapies include therapeutic massage, stress counselling and nutritional medicine.

Q. How many sessions will I need?
Most people feel the benefit of between three and six sessions. Therapy is tailored around your specific needs, so it is hard to be precise as everyone is different, and goals can change as therapy progresses.

Q. Is hypnotherapy suitable for everyone?
Hypnotherapy is suitable for most people, but not for everyone. I may not be the right person to help, or may ask you to check with your GP first, if you:- have a history of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder
- have a current eating disorder
- are under the care of a psychiatrist or community mental health team
- are dependent on alcohol or drugs.If you’re not sure, please mention it during our free consultation. We can talk it through, and I’ll always be honest about whether I’m the right person to help, or point you towards someone who is.Hypnotherapy isn’t a crisis service. If you’re struggling to cope or feel unsafe, please contact your GP, call NHS 111 (choose the mental health option) or call Samaritans free on 116 123, day or night.Q. What's it like to be hypnotised? Can I get 'stuck'?
Clinical hypnosis is nothing like stage hypnosis. You can't get 'stuck' and you're not in a trance. I've gathered together some common myths around hypnosis, which I hope you find reassuring: read more here 👉

Q. Can we work together if I’m not in Norfolk?
Yes! Most people find that video sessions work just as well as in-person ones. The often feel more relaxed in their own home.

Q. What happens in the initial free chat?
This is a short, informal call to talk through your problem, answer your questions, and see whether we’re a good fit. There is no obligation to book anything afterwards.
Q. What happens in an actual session?
Sessions follow a simple structure based on clinically-proven techniques read more here 👉Q. How much does it cost?
In-person sessions are £70; video sessions are £65. Each session lasts an hour. This includes recordings of the hypnosis as well as written notes and handouts for future reference. Discounts are available for block bookings.Q. How do I cancel or change my appointment?
I totally understand that life happens! Should you need to cancel or change your appointment, please contact me by noon of the day before your session. Unfortunately, failure to do this will mean having to pay 50% of the session fee.Q. Would I have to relive painful past events?
There is no need to go over painful past events. However, we can learn from the past and use our experience to help take us forward positively into the future. Our focus is on how the past affects you today – problems you have now (which may have their roots in the past) and how we can make them better for the future. The main focus of therapy is to help you move forward in your life.Q. How do you comply with Data Protection and GDPR?
UK GDPR requires me to tell you what personal information I gather via my website, and why, and what your rights are. I have compiled this on a separate page. Read more here 👉

What Happens in a Hypnotherapy Session

If you’ve never tried hypnotherapy before, it’s natural to feel unsure what to expect. Here’s a walkthrough of the process, from first contact to ongoing sessions.Free consultationWe start with a short, informal fifteen-minute call. This is a chance to talk through what's bringing you to hypnotherapy, ask any questions, and see whether we’re a good fit to work together. There’s no obligation to book anything afterwards.Your first full sessionYour first appointment is an assessment. I’ll ask about your problem and how it’s affecting you, then we’ll draw up a treatment plan tailored to your goals, including a rough idea of how many sessions you’re likely to need.Each session ends with work for you to do at home – a recording to listen to, or techniques to practise. This matters: changing long-set patterns takes practice, just like learning any new skill. We’ll review your progress together each time we meet, adjusting the plan as needed. Your priorities and needs guide every stage.What hypnosis actually feels likeDespite what stage shows or films suggest, hypnosis is a talking-based, evidence-informed technique. You remain fully aware and in control throughout – you’re never ‘under’, in a trance, or unable to hear what’s happening. Most people describe it as similar to the relaxed, focused state you experience when absorbed in a good film or daydreaming. You could choose to open your eyes or stop at any point, although most people don't want to because it feels calm and pleasantTechniques we might useSessions typically blend:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy – working with unhelpful thought patterns and how they show up in the body

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – building a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than fighting them

  • Applied relaxation – practical techniques to calm the nervous system in the moment

  • Mindfulness – simple exercises for noticing thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without judgement, so you respond to difficult moments more calmly rather than reacting on autopilot

Between sessionsI will teach you self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques to use independently. The goal isn’t dependency on ongoing sessions – it’s giving you tools you can keep using long after we’ve finished working together.How many sessions will I need?Many clients notice a difference within three to six one-hour sessions, though this varies by person and can shift as therapy progresses. We’ll review progress together as we go, so you always know where things stand.Getting startedSessions are available in person in Cromer or Aylsham, or by video call from anywhere in the UK. Book a free call to talk through your issues.

Hypnotherapy for Fears and Phobias

Whether it’s flying, dental visits, spiders, dogs, or another specific fear, phobias can quietly shrink your world – steering choices about holidays, appointments, even daily routines. Hypnotherapy can be a good fit for specific phobias.How I can help?Combining CBT hypnotherapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I help clients:

  • Understand what keeps a fear going

  • Reduce the fear response before it takes hold

  • Build practical strategies for facing feared situations calmly

  • Learn self-hypnosis techniques for ongoing confidence

What sessions involveWe start with a free fifteen-minute consultation to talk through your specific fear. Many clients notice a real difference within three to six one-hour sessions, in person in Cromer or Aylsham, or by video call from anywhere in the UK.Is hypnotherapy right for me?This is a safe, evidence-informed, talking-based approach. You’re aware and in control throughout – never ‘under’ or in a trance – and many clients are surprised how enjoyable the process feels.

Testimonials

“I can’t thank Jen enough for helping me overcome my fear of flying. For the first time I was able to look forward to my holiday without a feeling of dread about getting on the plane. I didn’t believe hypnotherapy would work, but it absolutely did!” —Client testimonial“Partaking in therapy sessions is something I thought I would never do, so has been an eye opener for me. My whole outlook on spiders has completely changed, and never thought that could be done ever.” —Client testimonial

Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss and Eating Habits

Lasting change around weight and eating rarely comes from willpower alone – it comes from shifting the habits and mindset underneath. If diets have worked temporarily but not stuck, hypnotherapy can help you address what’s driving the pattern in the first place.How I can helpUsing Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, I help clients:

  • Understand emotional or habitual eating patterns

  • Build a healthier relationship with food, without restrictive ‘quick fixes’

  • Strengthen motivation and follow-through on genuine goals

  • Learn self-hypnosis techniques for long-term maintenance

What sessions involveWe begin with a free fifteen-minute consultation to talk through your goals. Many clients see meaningful shifts within three to six one-hour sessions, in person in Cromer or Aylsham, or by video call from anywhere in the UK.Is hypnotherapy right for me?This is a talking-based, evidence-informed approach – you’re in control throughout. It works alongside your own motivation, not instead of it. Please note that if you have a medical condition or a significant amount of weight to lose, please check with your GP before starting. This service isn't suitable for the treatment of eating disorders; please contact your GP or Beat.

Testimonial

“I didn’t believe hypnosis would work, but with the knowledge it had worked for friends, I gave it a try. WOW! I felt fully in control at all times, even when under hypnosis, and my weight-loss journey has moved up a gear thanks to Jen.” —Client testimonial

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

Anxiety can make ordinary moments – a work meeting, a party, even a phone call – feel overwhelming. If you find yourself avoiding situations, over-rehearsing conversations, or replaying them anxiously afterwards, you’re not alone, and it’s something that can really be helped.How I can helpI use Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, combining CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and applied relaxation techniques to help you:

  • Understand what’s driving your anxiety

  • Reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety (racing heart, tension, blushing) before they take hold

  • Build genuine, lasting confidence – not just a quick fix for one event

  • Learn self-hypnosis techniques you can use independently, long after our sessions end

What sessions involveWe'll start with a free fifteen-minute consultation to talk through what you’re experiencing. From there, most clients see meaningful change within three to six one-hour sessions, working at a pace that suits you – in person in Cromer or Aylsham, or by video call from anywhere in the UK.Is hypnotherapy right for me?If you’ve never tried hypnotherapy before, know that it’s a talking-based, evidence-informed approach. You’re in control throughout – not ‘under’ or in a trance – and it’s similar to the focused, relaxed state you experience when absorbed in a film or daydreaming.

Testimonials

“Jennifer is amazing. She changed my views on hypnotherapy. Working together, we focused on increasing my personal peace, mental strength and confidence. I've come away from our sessions a new man, helping not only myself but my family as well.” —Client testimonial“I visited Jennifer seeking help for my anxiety and low self-esteem. Over the course of sessions that she organised for me, I learnt to understand myself more, to relax more and to enjoy my life more. Highly recommended.” —Client testimonial

Hypnotherapy for Insomnia and Sleep

Struggling to fall asleep, waking through the night, or lying awake with a racing mind? Sleep problems have a habit of becoming self-perpetuating – the more you worry about not sleeping, the harder sleep becomes. It doesn’t have to stay that way.How I can help?Using Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy alongside applied relaxation techniques, I help clients:

  • Break the cycle of sleep anxiety and bedtime worry

  • Calm a racing or overactive mind at night

  • Rebuild healthy, sustainable sleep patterns

  • Learn self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques for lasting, independent use

What sessions involveWe begin with a free fifteen-minute consultation to understand what's keeping you awake. Most clients notice real improvement within three to six one-hour sessions, in person in Cromer or Aylsham, or by video call from anywhere in the UK.Is hypnotherapy right for me?Hypnotherapy for sleep is a gentle, talking-based approach – you remain fully aware and in control throughout, not ‘under’. Many clients describe it as similar to the relaxed focus of daydreaming. Please note that if your sleep problems are new, severe or accompanied by loud snoring or daytime exhaustion, it's worth seeing your GP first.

Testimonials

“I’m so happy Jen and I found each other. I had run out of hope of ever finding a remedy for my insomnia that I'd been struggling with for over twenty years. Jen’s calm, soothing and rational approach to her techniques made me feel totally in control at all times and cared for. What a wonderful practitioner.” —Client testimonial““Jen has been a God-send. Within a few sessions she taught me so much … I am now having a more restful sleep. I feel less anxious and have massively cut down on my smoking.

Hypnosis: Common Myths

Most people I see haven't been hypnotised before. Here are some common myths around hypnosis:"I'll be asleep or unconscious."
Hypnosis isn't sleep. Most people are aware of everything that happens and describe it as a calm, focused state, like being absorbed in a good film. Relaxation helps, but it isn't essential."I'll be in a trance."
There's no special trance to get right. Hypnosis is simply a heightened ability to respond to helpful suggestions, usually by imagining them while you feel calm."The therapist will control my mind."
You can't be made to do anything against your will. Suggestions only work when you choose to accept them and actively imagine them. That's what makes hypnotherapy effective."I can't be hypnotised."
Most people can. It helps to relax, keep an open mind and imagine the suggested ideas as if they were real."I might get stuck."
You can't get stuck in hypnosis. You can open your eyes and stop at any point. With a trained, responsible practitioner, it's a very safe approach."It's like stage hypnosis."
Comedy stage hypnosis has little in common with clinical hypnotherapy, so take what you see on television with a generous pinch of salt."It takes years."
Hypnotherapy is one of the briefest psychological therapies. In clinical studies, the average is around three to six sessions."There's no evidence for it."
Research support is strongest for anxiety, sleep problems and stress-related conditions. NICE guidance used by the NHS includes hypnotherapy as an option for irritable bowel syndrome that hasn't responded to other treatment.References
