How It Works
Starting hypnotherapy can feel like a big step, so I make the process simple and supportive. We begin with a free 30‑minute consultation where you can ask questions, share your concerns, and decide if hypnotherapy feels right for you. If you choose to go ahead, sessions are tailored to your needs - some people notice changes after just a few meetings, while others benefit from a short series over several weeks. For smoking cessation, I usually recommend a single extended session. Along the way, I’ll give you practical tools and strategies you can use between appointments so you feel supported both in and out of the therapy room. Whether you see me in Occold, Suffolk or online, my aim is to help you feel calm, confident, and in control of the changes you want to make.
About Ruth
I’ve always been fascinated by how people think, feel and change. That curiosity led me to complete a degree in psychology before training as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist. Over the past three decades I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of people from across Norfolk and Suffolk move past difficulties that once held them back. As a member of the International Association for Evidence‑Based Psychotherapy, I combine hypnotherapy with practical therapeutic techniques that are grounded in science as well as experience. More importantly, I offer a safe, non‑judgemental space where you can explore your challenges and discover new ways forward.
