Why I Became a Hypnotherapist

My Journey to Helping Others Change Their Lives

When people ask me why I became a hypnotherapist, the answer isn’t just one single moment — it’s a journey of discovery, personal change, and a deep desire to help others live the lives they truly want.

The First Spark

My interest in hypnosis began when I discovered just how powerful the mind can be in shaping our habits, emotions, and even physical wellbeing. I realised that so much of what holds us back in life isn’t the world around us—it’s the patterns and beliefs we carry within. The idea that these could be changed gently, safely, and effectively fascinated me, so I began using hypnosis to teach people a set of tools to help them take better control of their lives.

From Curiosity to Commitment

Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I worked as a consultant in industry. I enjoyed parts of it, but I knew something was missing—a sense of real purpose and the chance to make a difference in people’s lives. Meanwhile, I was using hypnosis as a teaching tool and often finding people asking for help with specific issues such as phobias or anxiety.

I realised that many people were being held back from reaching their goals by issues that could be addressed relatively easily with hypnotherapy.

Training and Learning

Inspired to explore further, I trained with Hypnosis World and gained a Practitioner's Diploma in Hypnotherapy. I also studied techniques such as parts therapy, so that I could focus on therapies that avoid re-experiencing trauma to reach a goal. Throughout my training, I discovered just how versatile hypnotherapy can be — helping people overcome anxiety, change unwanted habits, build confidence, and improve wellbeing.

My Mission

Becoming a hypnotherapist has allowed me to combine my love of human connection with a practical, effective way to help people achieve real change. My mission is simple: to give clients the tools and confidence to take control of their own lives.

If you’ve ever wondered whether hypnotherapy could help you, I’d love to help you explore the possibilities. Change is possible—sometimes all it takes is the proper support and a willingness to take the first step.
