Before we begin

Will I lose control, or say things I don't want to?

No. Hypnotherapy is a state of focused attention, not sleep and not surrender. You remain aware and in charge throughout, and you can pause or stop at any point. Nothing is done to you — it happens with you.

Is this anything like stage hypnosis?

Not at all. Stage shows rely on willing volunteers and performance. A session here is quiet, private and collaborative — closer to a guided daydream than anything you would see on a stage.

What if I can't be hypnotised?

Most people can reach a useful level of focused relaxation, and depth matters far less than you might think. We will simply find the way of working that suits how your mind works.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on what you're coming for. Some people notice a shift within a few sessions; others prefer a longer, steadier pace. We review progress together as we go, and you are never committed to more than feels helpful.

Can I see you in person?

Yes. In person, sessions take place at Salford Quays in Manchester, and are offered to women. Online sessions are open to everyone, wherever you are, and work in exactly the same way. If you are not sure which would suit you, we can talk it through in the free fifteen minutes.

When are sessions available?

Usually between nine in the morning and nine in the evening, most days of the week, and there is flexibility around that. There are no set opening hours. Enquiries are answered by Aoife personally, as soon as she is able, by email at [email protected] or by WhatsApp.

  • Instead of feeling like my body and my pain are completely out of my control, I now have a better understanding of what is happening and how to respond to it… Giving hypnotherapy a chance has helped me feel more connected to my body and more in control of my wellbeing.

  • Aoife has helped me calm my nerves and open up more space in a hectic life. I was a bit sceptical about the whole process at first, but as soon as the session started I settled immediately into the right place… Aoife’s scientific background really helped me understand the complexity of the brain — how these patterns evolve involuntarily, and how to unpack them.
