Support for people who want to change automatic drinking patterns, triggers and routines.

Support for people who want to change automatic drinking patterns, triggers and routines. Sessions are personalized around your specific triggers, experiences and desired outcome rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation with Ruth. You can ask questions, explain what you want to change, and decide whether to book a full session.
Your session begins with a conversation about the issue you want to work on and the change you want to experience. Ruth then guides you through relaxation and focused attention, using language, imagery and suggestion aligned with your goal. You are not unconscious and you remain in control throughout.
Most standard hypnotherapy appointments are 60 minutes. If you are unsure whether this service is right for you, book the free 15-minute consultation first.
Hypnotherapy is designed to create real change by working directly with the automatic thoughts, habits, emotional responses and associations that often keep a problem in place. We have many clients who have experienced great results and seen a significant change. Many clients experience strong, noticeable progress when they are genuinely ready for change and actively participate in the process. The more open, focused and committed you are during the sessions, the stronger the potential for meaningful and lasting results.
