Hypnotherapy for PTSD in Norfolk
Living with PTSD or complex trauma can feel like part of you is always on alert. Sleep is broken, small triggers land hard, and it can be tiring to keep a calm face on for the world.
My approach here is careful and trauma-informed. We don't push you to relive anything before you're ready, and you stay in the driving seat throughout. The goal isn't to force the memory to change — it's to help your nervous system feel safer in the present so life can start to feel less loud.
Because trauma is complex, hypnotherapy is offered here as a complement to specialist trauma care, not a replacement. Many clients use it alongside NHS or private trauma-focused therapy.
How hypnotherapy can support PTSD recovery
- Calms an over-active fight-flight-freeze response
- Improves sleep and reduces nightmares
- Builds felt-sense resources — a 'safe place', grounding, containment
- Softens the intensity of everyday triggers
- Restores a sense of choice and agency after events that removed it
- Works gently alongside EMDR, trauma-focused CBT or specialist PTSD care
Who this is for
- Anyone diagnosed with PTSD or complex PTSD
- First responders, veterans and healthcare workers
- Survivors of accidents, assault or medical trauma
- People with unresolved childhood trauma
What to expect
Sessions are calm, collaborative and completely confidential. You stay in control the entire time — hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed, focused state that helps your mind absorb helpful suggestions and rehearse new ways of responding.
Hypnotherapy complements — it does not replace — specialist trauma care. If you're in crisis, please contact your GP, the Samaritans on 116 123, or NHS 111.
