I have a keen interest in the growing body of scientific literature that supports the tools of solution-focused hypnotherapy. In 2024, Barney et al. found that hypnotherapy significantly reduced anxiety and depression. When investigating hypnotherapy and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a 2015 study by Miller et al. showed that gut-focused hypnotherapy is an effective intervention for IBS. This type of therapy has shown success in stopping vaping/smoking, enhancing sports performance and managing weight or pain.

Client Reviews
Sleep Issue
“I came to hypnotherapy as a last resort for my sleep and left genuinely amazed. With daily recordings, weekly sessions, and Oliver’s beautiful visualisations, I can now fall asleep peacefully and even find moments of calm in my everyday life. Oliver’s warmth, knowledge, empathy, and gentle humour made me feel completely supported and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”
-ChristineStress
“Oliver’s hypnotherapy sessions were deeply beneficial. His use of neuroscience explanations helped me understand my mental patterns, build self-compassion and trust the process. I felt calmer and more connected afterwards and I still use the exercises he taught me—particularly the ‘What’s been good?’-exercise.”
- VanessaAnxiety
“My work sometimes involves demanding phases of productivity that can trigger anxieties and insecurities that also affect me emotionally. As someone who has aphantasia, I have always struggled with following conventional meditative therapies that require visualisation as part of the process. Oliver was able to pick up on this, adapt his therapy accordingly and effortlessly guide me to a state of relaxation that also helped me build confidence in the long run and equipped me to deal with my more stressful periods.”
- TheodorStop Vaping
“When addressing my desire to stop vaping for quite some time, Oliver made me feel very safe, explained everything in great detail and was very patient. He made the whole journey feel calm and beautiful and most importantly, it worked!
I stopped vaping and even the desire to vape is disappearing by using the tools he gave me. I could not have chosen a better therapist and can highly recommend him.
I am considering booking sessions to conquer my anxiety”
