Hypnotherapy in Benfleet, Essex

Change starts in the mind—let’s work together to unlock it

At Benfleet Counselling, we offer hypnotherapy as a powerful tool to support emotional, physical, and behavioural well-being. Hypnotherapy works by gently accessing the subconscious mind—where deeply held thoughts, beliefs, and emotional patterns live.

Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapy can help reframe unhelpful responses, shift emotional blocks, and support real, lasting change.

What Can Hypnotherapy Help With?

We offer hypnotherapy for a wide range of emotional, physical and behavioural challenges, including:

Stress & Anxiety

When stress or anxiety become chronic, they can affect both mind and body—causing sleep issues, panic attacks, or constant worry. Hypnotherapy calms the nervous system and helps reprogram the subconscious responses that keep you stuck in fight, flight, or freeze.

Pain Management

Chronic pain—whether from illness, injury, or unknown causes—can be linked to emotional stress or unresolved trauma. Hypnotherapy helps the brain relax into ‘safe mode’ and supports the body’s natural ability to manage discomfort.

Conditions supported:

Headaches & migraines
Fibromyalgia
Arthritis
Phantom limb pain
IBS and digestive issues
Back or joint pain
Cancer-related pain

Weight Management & Eating Habits

Struggling to maintain a healthy weight or relationship with food? Hypnotherapy can uncover the subconscious patterns driving eating behaviours—and gently shift them.

We also offer Hypno-Gastric Band therapy, a non-surgical approach to simulate gastric banding, helping reduce appetite and improve control over portion sizes.

Fears & Phobias

From spiders to flying, heights to dentists—phobias can feel overwhelming and sometimes irrational. Hypnotherapy can change your subconscious response, reducing fear and giving you back control.

Stop Smoking

Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective tools for smoking cessation. It targets the subconscious habits and beliefs that keep you reaching for a cigarette, while reinforcing the benefits of a smoke-free life—health, freedom, and money saved.

Confidence & Self-Esteem

Low self-confidence often stems from past experiences, childhood messages, or fear of failure. Hypnotherapy helps reframe those beliefs, building self-worth from the inside out—whether you’re struggling socially, professionally, or personally.

Hypnobirthing

If you’re feeling anxious about birth or recovering from a difficult labour, hypnobirthing techniques can help. Through breathwork, visualisation, and relaxation, we support calm, confident pregnancy and delivery experiences.

Relationship Support

Whether you’re navigating a breakup, struggling in your current relationship, or finding it hard to form new ones—hypnotherapy can help uncover emotional patterns and improve communication, boundaries, and confidence.

What to Expect from Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy sessions are calm, safe, and collaborative. You’ll always be in control—this is not hypnosis, and you will not lose awareness at any time.

In a typical session:

You’ll discuss your goal or issue
You’ll be guided into a state of focused relaxation
Your therapist will use personalised suggestions to gently shift your mindset
You may begin to feel lighter, more confident, and more in control from the very first session
