I went to see James after many, many years of poor sleep. He tried to get to the root of the issue before I was put into a deep relaxation state and used a number of visualisation techniques to frame my insomnia. I returned two weeks later for another session. I am now absolutely delighted to say my sleep has improved immeasurably.

I saw James about a fear I have been dealing with since childhood and had no way of getting rid of it on my own. The fear has now gone and feels more natural now, rather than a phobia. It has allowed me to live my life like I hadn’t been able to before.

Therapy sessions with James have been life changing. He has helped me deal with very difficult issues surrounding trauma and anxiety. He has been incredibly kind, empathetic and understanding and gave me the tools to move forward feeling better and living better in my day to day life.

Hypnotherapy for Insomnia in London

When a seemingly endless bout of insomnia strikes, sleep hypnosis in London, online or in Hampshire can help.

We all want deep sleep when we go to bed. We’re prepared to accept the occasional restless night after a drink or two too many, but isn’t sleep supposed to be our friend? Sleep is a lifelong ‘constant’ that we’re supposed to be able to rely on – not fear because it has become elusive.

Sleep disorders wreak havoc with people’s lives. When you can’t fall asleep, it can lead to a host of other symptoms – both emotional and physical. These include stress, anxiety, pain and mental health issues like depression – and that’s not to mention things like danger when operating machinery.

Poor sleep can leave you feeling ratty and irritable – and when it persists (chronic insomnia), it can start to affect relationships, careers and family life. If you’re reading this, you’ve likely recognised that you need help with your sleep disorder; you’ve had enough of sleeping pills and you’re determined to get better sleep. Hypnotherapy for insomnia can help.

I look forward to helping you be calmer and more relaxed.

The quest for deep sleep

In the 10 years that have passed since I started practising clinical hypnosis, I have treated many hundreds of people with sleep disturbances or sleep disorders of some kind. They usually come to me when they feel like they can take no more.

When they've had yet another night of trying to will themselves to sleep – only to find themselves in that nightmarish, half-awake 'Twilight Zone' once again – they decide that enough is enough.

On this page, you'll find more information about insomnia and how sleep hypnosis can help – and how treatment can be very fact-acting, too. Success can often be achieved in just one or two sessions, and many clients who have tried it tell me that it's the best sleep medicine there is.

You can see me at my London hypnotherapy clinic, at my practice in Winchester, or I also offer one-to-one online sleep hypnosis sessions – which are proving to be very popular, post-pandemic. It's done over Zoom or Skype, and is arguably the easy way to begin treatment. I now have enough of these to state conclusively that online hypnotherapy is every bit as effective as face-to-face treatment.

A special offer for all new clients

I know how horrible it is to find yourself at a complete loss because of a new or recurring inability to fall asleep. And with the current cost of living crisis affecting us all, I'm currently offering 10% off my standard insomnia hypnotherapy fees to all new clients.

I also offer a FREE, no-obligation 20-minute consultation before working with you – it's a great way for you to discover more about how sleep hypnosis and other hypnotherapeutic methods that I use can help you.

Please get in touch today if you'd like to know more, or would like to book our free consultation. I'll also send you a free, one-hour deep relaxation download that I used to sell for £17.99.

I look forward to helping you with your insomnia.

All about insomnia

Despite what you might sometimes feel, we all have the ability to sleep. Most of us are actually born naturally good sleepers; you only have to look at young children to know that.

But either an event, a sequence of events and/or lifestyle choices such as drugs or too much alcohol can seriously impact our ability to sleep.  Insomnia doesn’t just spontaneously occur without a reason – even though you might not fully realise what that reason is.

You'll know that you suffer from insomnia if:

  • You find it difficult to fall asleep and frequently lie awake at night – possibly knowing that when you do drop off, you'll probably struggle to stay asleep.
  • You have sleep problems in general and find it hard to get a good night's sleep – perhaps waking suddenly multiple times in a night.
  • You often feel the urge to take a nap during the day.
  • You feel tired and moody during the day and suspect that it might be because of a lack of sleep.
A common global problem

The NHS website states that "most people experience problems with sleep in their life." It becomes an issue, though, when it lingers and starts to affect your life. Sleeping problems that last longer than three months are known as chronic insomnia.

When bedtime becomes a persistent issue, people often seek out help of some kind – be that meditation, medication, improving their 'going to bed' routine (sleep hygiene) or trying to 'drink' their way to sleep with a large glass of wine. This rarely works, however, because alcohol tends to interrupt the important REM phase of sleep.

The net result of all this sleep deprivation is irritability – and more worry about sleeping. It can quickly become a vicious circle.

How hypnotherapy for insomnia can help you

When you book sleep hypnosis treatment with me, my goal is to help you break through those events that have disrupted your sleep patterns. These are often centred around stress and anxiety – even though you may not realise the severity of the strain you are under.

Hypnosis can help to physically and mentally relax you at a very deep level. The relaxation techniques I use enable your body and mind to feel better prepared to fall into a deep sleep when you go to bed.  Effectively, we can help turn your sleep switch back on.

What has happened is that your sleep switch is probably either off right now, or is turned down very low. We will work together to give you some powerful new sleep techniques and new positive routines. Doing these before bedtime can make a world of difference.

Hypnosis for sleep helps to break the insomnia cycle

Willpower is often a great thing in many situations, but for helping you to get to sleep that's not really the case. Just ask yourself how many times have you willed yourself to sleep when tossing and turning.

When you’re in bed trying to sleep, all you're thinking about is sleep. And also about how much shorter your window of opportunity for getting enough sleep is becoming with every passing minute.

These worries keep us awake – and so that cycle mentioned earlier begins. Using NLP and hypnotherapy for insomnia, it’s possible to break the cycle and make good sleep a normal, everyday thing all over again.

NLP and hypnotherapy also work to help minimise anxiety – which, as stated, is one of the main reasons why people suffer from insomnia. The psychological law of ‘reciprocal inhibition’ dictates that if you are calm and relaxed, you can’t be anxious.

Being calm, then, is the bedrock of a good night’s sleep – and as a trained clinical hypnotherapist, I can help you to find the inner calm you need that leads to better sleep outcomes.

I give my experience of hypnotherapy with James 10/10

Dame Kelly Holmes

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?

The first thing we’ll do is have a complimentary exploratory phone call, lasting up to 20 minutes. Before your actual session, you’ll fill in a detailed questionnaire that will help me understand your history and patterns of sleep disturbances. This allows me to tailor your treatment plan.

Over the course of your 90-minute session, you will feel calm and in control, and I’ll use a combination of the most effective modern and classic hypnotherapeutic tools and techniques designed to address memories and emotions and generate new outcomes.

How to book your insomnia hypnotherapy session

Hopefully, you now feel reassured about the hypnotherapy process – and feel ready to take the next step to become less stressed about bedtime. My highly professional approach means that, in most cases, you'll need only a single session or a couple of sessions to see improvement.

Each session will be 90-minutes long. This means we achieve so much more than you can in the traditional 50-minute 'therapy hour' that most therapists provide.

A special offer from my hypnotherapy practice to you

As part of my ‘Cost of Living Crisis’ promotion, I’m reducing my fees by 10% to only £290 + VAT per session.  I have very limited availability and if you’d like to know more about how I may be able to help you, then do get in touch now.

I will put 100% effort into working with you and the techniques that I use are very powerful. As with all therapy types, success varies from client to client and there can be no guarantees. In fact, I’d recommend running a mile from a hypnotherapist who says they offer a guarantee.

Why choose me as your hypnotherapist

I became a hypnotherapist because of a life-changing hypnotherapy session of my own in 2006. This helped me to re-find myself and discover new hope. So, whatever you’re feeling now, I’ve been in a similar place.
Experience
I am an expert at dealing with insomnia and have completed more than 5,000 sessions of hypnotherapy.
Chemistry
I only work with clients that I believe I can help, want to help and have a good chemistry with. This means your therapy is more likely to be effective.
Speed
Most clients need just two sessions to see a significant improvement. This is quicker than virtually any other therapist.
Reassurance
I am one of the UK’s most reviewed therapists. More than 90% of clients give me a 5-star review.
Trust
Before I saw my very first client over a decade ago, I had completed more than 1,000 hours of training. Unfortunately, anyone can call themselves a therapist without any training. Do not put your mental health in the hands of amateurs.

I went to see James after many, many years of poor sleep. I had simply got used to this situation and managed it with the aid of sleeping pills (and being very tired a lot of the time). My wife encouraged me to seek alternative therapies and after a quick search online came across Fix My Mind. I spoke to his secretary, Lucy, a couple of times as part of the initial consultation and she was a pleasure to deal with. The cost is very high, albeit I guess it is inline with other successful therapists, but I decided to go ahead as I would have paid a far higher amount to be guaranteed a successful outcome. I had to spend 2 or 3 hours filling in the questionnaire which in itself was a useful exercise as it made me think about my situation from a number of different angles. I was nervous when I turned up for my first consultation and really did not know what to expect. We spent 20 mins or so going through my responses to the questionnaire while James tried to get to the root of the issue before I was put into a deep relaxation state and used a number of visualisation techniques to frame my insomnia. I returned 2 weeks later for another session and this consolidated what we had worked on before. I did notice (and was impressed) that for both sessions, James had picked up on small but important points that I had mentioned in the questionnaire or as part of initial discussions. Bar sleeping very poorly the first night, my condition did improve but I thought I would wait a few weeks before posting a review because I wanted to be quite confident that my situation really had changed. I am now absolutely delighted to say my sleep has improved immeasurably and I feel this is not going to change – James really has fixed my mind. I found both sessions mildly traumatic and when I mentioned this to James he was quite dismissive so do not go in there expecting the session to be easy. However, what was important to me was the net outcome and for that I have no hesitation in awarding 5 stars. Thank you James.*

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your most common queries about sleep hypnosis here.

If you have tried a psychologist, counselling, or any other kind of therapy, hypnotherapy for insomnia offers an alternative. Or perhaps you don't like the idea of any of those other options and are looking for fast results.

Hypnotherapy works by 'rewiring' the mind so that it changes the way it reacts to different things. As an example, it can stop the brain from going into panicky 'fight or flight' mode when you're getting ready for bed and anticipating another sleepless night.

Experience: I have now completed more than 5,000 hypnotherapy sessions with clients from all over the UK and further afield.

Approach: I am personable and focused, and I only want to work with people I wholeheartedly believe I can help.

Training: Before I saw my very first client, I had completed more than 1,000 hours of training. As I have added new tools to my skillset, this has now increased to more than 2,000 hours.

Results: I am highly results focused and want you to feel like you can move on from whatever is holding you back in the fewest possible sessions. It is never my goal to keep clients coming back for more sessions unless these are 100% needed.

It all depends on your background and what we have used in previous sessions, if applicable. As well as clinical hypnotherapy, the four main tools at my disposal are Havening, Time Line Therapy, NLP and TFT.

I have enjoyed considerable success with all of these, both individually and in various combinations.

Given the current cost of living crisis, I am offering 10% off my standard fee. A potentially life-changing 1-1 session with me today costs just £290 +VAT per 90-minute session (most hypnotherapists' sessions are only 50 minutes long).

There is no extra fee for my pre-prep work, such as my analysis of your pre-session briefing questionnaire.

Additionally, every new client benefits from a free 20-minute consultation by phone.

Booking is easy – please just fill in the contact form, or call me on freephone 0800 122 3073.
