Mairelys Kennaway, Clinical Hypnotherapist

Clinical Hypnotherapy & Strategic Psychotherapy

My journey into hypnosis began with many questions of my own. What I found — a method that’s grounded in science, focused and gentle — was so powerful I had to share it. Witnessing my clients’ growth and breakthroughs is incredibly fulfilling — it’s a privilege to be part of their journey towards a better life.

How it works

What to expect

A clear, supportive path — from your first hello to lasting change.

1

Free discovery call

A relaxed, no-obligation chat by phone or Zoom, so you can decide if hypnotherapy feels right for you. No pressure.

2

Initial consultation

Your first session (90 minutes, Zoom) is longer so we can get to know each other, understand what you’re facing, and map out a plan tailored to you.

3

What happens in a session

Sessions combine strategic psychotherapy with clinical hypnosis — we gently explore and reframe unhelpful patterns, then reinforce positive change in a calm, focused state.

4

Regular consultations

Ongoing sessions (60 minutes, Zoom), usually weekly or fortnightly. Most issues take around 4–6 sessions, though every person is different.

5

Between sessions

You’ll reinforce your progress by listening to your session recordings, along with any simple tasks we agree on. Repetition is what makes change stick.

6

Living the change

As new patterns take hold, the tools stay with you — and you’re always welcome back for a top-up session whenever you’d like a boost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Clinical Hypnosis?

Clinical hypnosis is different to stage hypnosis (when hypnosis is used for entertainment). Clinical hypnosis is permissive and you retain control of your actions at all times. It induces a state of relaxation, allowing positive changes to thought patterns, habits, or behaviours, and lets you quiet your conscious mind and tap into the part of your brain where thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, emotions, memories, and behaviours originate.

What happens in Hypnosis?

A Clinical Hypnotherapist employs hypnosis to induce a state of mental, physical, and emotional relaxation. During this state, the conscious mind — the busy, critical, analytical part — takes a break. Hypnosis enables individuals to access information stored in the subconscious mind and make positive changes to thought patterns, habits, or behaviours that may be negatively affecting them.

What does Hypnosis Feel Like?

The experience of hypnosis varies for each client. Some may feel heightened awareness, while others experience profound relaxation. Occasionally the client hears every word spoken by the hypnotist, while at other times the voice fades in and out. In strategic hypnotherapy and clinical hypnosis, the client always retains the ability to modify the hypnotic experience or awaken voluntarily.

What is Strategic Hypnotherapy?

Strategic Hypnotherapy is a solution and process-oriented approach that allows you to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, develop strategies, and learn new skills for behavioural change. By focusing on how you run certain behaviours, it can help resolve problems more quickly and support long-lasting results. Strategic hypnotherapy is designed to enhance hypnosis outcomes.

Is Hypnosis Safe?

Hypnosis is generally considered safe when practiced by trained professionals in a controlled environment. It’s a complementary and alternative medical treatment that can help with anxiety, depression, pain, or unwanted behaviours.

Can Hypnosis be carried out over Zoom?

Yes. Remote hypnotherapy, also known as online hypnosis, is performed over video or telephone. It’s conducted in real-time, and many clients find it just as effective as an in-person session, but with the added comfort and convenience of being wherever you like.
