“My experience with Gordon has been nothing short of transformational. Over the course of a single session, Gordon has provided me with practical, applicable tools for addressing my long-standing issues. By the third session, he not only helped me identify the root causes, he also enabled me to change my internal dialogue and my outlook on life.

Having previously gone through multiple rounds of CBT and other forms of therapy, hypnotherapy as practiced by Gordon has been the single most effective way of getting rid of counterproductive thinking and behavioural patterns.

If you are willing to do the work, to apply the tools and to internalise the insights that hypnotherapy provides, the results will be life-changing.”

“I had an amazing experience with Darren at London Hypnotherapist. His professionalism, expertise, and empathetic approach made the sessions comfortable and effective. Darren’s hypnotherapy techniques helped me overcome my challenges and had a positive impact on my well-being. I highly recommend Darren and London Hypnotherapist for outstanding hypnotherapy services. Thank you, Darren, for your exceptional skills and dedication.”

“I saw Gordon for my blood phobia and have been amazed by the results! I carried this phobia with me for years, and finally feel free!”

“I can’t recommend Jen enough. I was in a dark place and would have tried anything but found Jen online and thank God I did. I still can’t fully understand what happened, but it has blown my mind. My depression and anxiety levels have decreased dramatically. I am still working on processing everything that came up for me, but it has really really helped me figure some things out and I have good tools to help me on my journey.”

Louise Hatcher

Gordon showed me ways to manage a general feeling of anxiety and inability to cope. The 3 sessions I had with Gordon have been transformational.

My sessions with Darren have been great. I found the meetings informative and interesting. Darren explained that we routinely, as humans, can sometimes get in our way – self-sabotaging and going towards what we don’t want! There is always another way to think act and behave! Sometimes though you need a professional to see that.

Laura

“I’ve struggled with crippling anxiety for as long as I can remember. I didn’t get a diagnosis until my late teens, and everything started to make sense partnered with my other challenges. I have spent almost half my life trying different treatments and lifestyle changes to try and gain control of my brain. It took Jen four sessions to change my world. I was sceptical as I honestly believed that I was just built this way. My anxiety is the lowest it has ever been. When I feel it starting to increase, I can quickly use the tools that Jen armed me with, and I am back in control. Cannot recommend Jen enough.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your first hypnotherapy session. All your questions, answered right here.

Hypnotherapy is a clinically recognised therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind, enabling positive changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. At City of London Hypnotherapy, our qualified hypnotherapists use cognitive hypnotherapy techniques to help clients with anxiety, stress, phobias, IBS, weight management, and unwanted habits — in a safe, evidence-based environment at our EC1 clinic.

Yes. Clinical studies and NHS guidelines recognise hypnotherapy as an effective treatment for IBS, anxiety, and chronic pain. The Royal Society of Medicine — of which our therapists are members — supports evidence-based hypnotherapy. At City of London Hypnotherapy, we exclusively use cognitive hypnotherapy, the most research-backed form, with documented success rates across anxiety, phobias, and stress management.

Our London EC1 hypnotherapy clinic successfully treats: anxiety and panic attacks, depression, stress, phobias, smoking cessation, weight management, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), insomnia, fear of flying, public speaking anxiety, chronic fatigue, low confidence, sexual dysfunction, and addiction. Each treatment plan is bespoke and tailored by our qualified hypnotherapists to your specific needs.

Our hypnotherapy clinic is located at 45A Central Street, London EC1V 8AB, in the heart of the City of London, Clerkenwell area. We are easily accessible from Barbican, Old Street, and Farringdon tube stations. Our EC1 location makes us one of the most centrally located hypnotherapy clinics in London, convenient for clients from the City, Islington, and surrounding areas.

At City of London Hypnotherapy, our session fees are competitive and reflect the expertise of our NCH-registered and Royal Society of Medicine-affiliated therapists. We recommend a course of three sessions for most conditions. Please visit our Charges page or call us on 020 7503 0118 for current pricing — we are transparent about costs and offer a free initial call to discuss your needs.

Absolutely not. This is the most common misconception about hypnotherapy. You remain fully conscious, aware, and in complete control throughout every session at our London clinic. You cannot be made to say or do anything against your will. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative, guided process — you can exit the relaxed state at any time. Our qualified therapists at City of London Hypnotherapy prioritise your safety, comfort, and informed consent above all.

Yes, scepticism is completely normal and does not prevent hypnotherapy from working. Many of our most successful clients at City of London Hypnotherapy were initially sceptical. Hypnotherapy works by engaging natural brain processes, not belief. However, a willingness to participate openly does help. We encourage you to call us for a free conversation before booking — understanding the process often alleviates doubt and improves outcomes.

Most clients at our London anxiety hypnotherapy clinic see significant improvement within 3 to 6 sessions. Each session lasts between 50 minutes and 1 hour 15 minutes, and is fully tailored to your specific anxiety triggers and goals. Some clients — particularly those dealing with specific phobias or situational anxiety — report noticeable change after just one or two sessions. We will assess your needs in the first session and create a personalised treatment plan.

Yes. Gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS is backed by over 30 years of clinical research and is recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines in the UK. At City of London Hypnotherapy, our IBS specialists use gut-directed hypnotherapy to target the gut-brain connection, reducing stress-triggered flare-ups and improving overall digestive wellbeing. Many clients experience significant symptom reduction within 6-8 sessions.
