Why People Come to Me

Modern, solution-based hypnotherapy in Colchester & online. Change patterns at the root so you feel calm, in control and moving forward again.

If you’ve tried willpower, books or talking therapies and still feel stuck, you’re not alone.
Most problems aren’t logical — they’re patterns.

My work focuses on changing those patterns quickly and practically, so you can stop battling symptoms and start feeling like yourself again.

People come to me when they’re tired of:

• Overthinking everything
• Anxiety running their day
• Habits they “should” have stopped
• Poor sleep and constant tension
• Feeling stuck despite trying everything

This is about fixing the root — not managing the symptoms.

What I Help With

Anxiety & Stress
IBS & Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy
Addictions & Habits
Stop Smoking & Vaping
Sleep Issues / Insomnia
Confidence & Self-Doubt
Phobias & Fears

Hypnotherapy didn’t just become my work — it changed my life.

After a surgical complication in 2015, I developed severe anxiety and PTSD. I know what it’s like when your mind won’t switch off.

What helped me rebuild wasn’t talking or willpower — it was hypnotherapy.

Now I help others create that same shift.

If you’re ready to move forward, I’ll help you get there.

What Clients Say

Verified Google Reviews

Trusted by Clients Locally, Nationally and Internationally

Many of my clients are referred to me or travel significant distances because they want an approach that works.

I also work with clients worldwide through online hypnotherapy sessions, helping them achieve the same results from the comfort of their own environment.

"From the moment I met Ian, I felt very comfortable and at ease enough to discuss my situation. I find him non- judgemental, a really lovely, kind human being who strives to help others to move forward and enjoy the positive future they deserve.
After a few sessions with Ian, I am now saying YES! to life situations rather than NO! With Ian's guidance and shared coping techniques, I have started driving again after 10 years of being terrified to do so. I find myself more comfortable with social situations too.
I am also saying NO! to self sabotaging lifestyle habits that were dominating my life and stopping me from moving forward.
I recommend Ian 100% to anyone who wants to make permanent changes in their lives."

"I went to see Ian to get help with quitting smoking. Ian made me feel relaxed and comfortable straight away and I’m happy to say that the session was a success and I haven’t had a cigarette since. 1 month today smoke free is a huge milestone! Thank you Ian for giving me my life back! I have now signed up for two marathons this year
If you thinking about it, don’t hesitate, it was the best decision I have ever made!"

"Ian has been a great help to me. I am already recommending him to friends."

"I was very sceptical about hypnotherapy but have been scared of flying for years and needed to do something I found Ian’s website On a google search and though just go for it so I messaged him and he called me straight back he was very helpful and understanding I booked a consultation and still felt it wouldn’t work for me but after the first session it was amazing my thoughts were changing with my anxiety about flying and Ian was very professional clearly knew how to help me I’ve had 3 treatments and went on a flight 3 days after my last still feeling the panic and anxiety would all come back as soon as I stepped foot on the plane honestly it was the strangest feeling I was still nervous but that’s as far as it went even with the turbulence (we had quite a lot) I still felt confident and safe with the techniques Ian has taught me I would highly recommend this man to help you too!"

"Would highly recommend visiting Ian if you suffer from anxiety.
Visited Ian due to not being able to leave the comfort of my own home environments, now i've booked two concerts and two holidays!
His coping techniques I use everyday and I am so very thankful for him and his support"

“It was a game changer. I felt like a different person.”

“I quit vaping after one session — after 15 years. Life-changing.”

"I couldn’t recommend Ian more highly! I was slightly sceptical when I first went to see him, hoping that he could help me with a fear of high/open spaces. After just three sessions, a problem I had lived with for decades has evaporated, and I find myself much more confident and less anxious in general."

“I finally feel like myself again. Anxiety no longer controls me.”

"After a short course of sessions I felt like a different person, much more relaxed, focused on key areas I wanted to improve AND while I was there realised I had a chocolate calling that ruled my head and sabotaged any diet or healthy eating campaign I started. Ian addressed this and I’m now 3 months without crazing chocolate and sugar, I don’t miss it, I make choices of foods I really want to eat rather than what my cravings told me I wanted to eat. I have remained stress free (with the help of some fabulous tools/techniques), I have clear boundaries, I’m focused and making healthy choices that serve me - win win.
Thank you Ian - it has been a game changer."

"Thank you Ian would highly recommend you to anyone that needs help to quit smoking for good."

"I approached Ian after exhausting all other avenues, having come to the conclusion that I was my own worst enemy. Having attended several sessions with Ian, I now realise I'm actually my own biggest supporter. I've enjoyed each and every session, finding Ian's studio to be a calm safe haven where I can completely relax and untangle what ever is going on in life. Unlike other practioners I had approached, Ian takes each client on an individual basis and doesn't insist on you signing up and paying for a course of sessions, potentially that you don't need. It is remarkable what has been achieved through the sessions with Ian, and without doubt, it has been a very positive and beneficial experience. I will be revisiting Ian for a mind vacation later in the year!"


"I’m a completely different and stronger person after seeing you and will most definitely be using you again for any more of my struggles or needs."

"I am so glad that I had the courage to contact Ian and I recommend him wholeheartedly."

"The results were almost immediate and truly astonishing."

"I was unsure when i attended as I felt like I would never be able to stop vaping, I arrived with an open mind and 5 week later and I have still not touched any form of nicotine.Ian was very informative and relaxed and positive he was not pushy in anyway, I will be recommending him to friends."

"I recently visited Ian for support with a few challenges I wanted to release & I can’t praise him enough for the incredible impact he has had. From the very first conversation, he provided me with invaluable tools to help manage my feelings —particularly when driving on the motorway.
Through his expert guidance on breathwork and reinforcing positivity, I found that negativity naturally faded away. The results were almost immediate and truly astonishing. While I haven’t yet tested myself in every situation, the huge breakthrough in my driving alone has given me complete confidence that the rest will follow effortlessly."

"I am 3 months smoke free thanks to Ian.
The studio was lovely and I felt at ease as soon as I met him.
Ian really took his time to talk me through the process and assist me with my reasons to quit!
I have also had regular emails from Ian to see how I am doing in my new smoke free life.
Recommend 100%"


"Ian’s support has been nothing short of life-changing, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! Thanks Ian."
