It’s well documented that Hypnotherapy is a very useful tool for the relief and control of pain.
You can learn how to change the way that you perceive pain messages so that the intensity is reduced and alter your emotional responses to pain.
Acute Pain is necessary for our survival; it’s a signal that tells us there is a problem or injury that needs attention. It also acts as a reminder, when we have an existing injury, to take care and not do anything that could make the injury worse.
Chronic pain on the other hand has pretty much outlived its usefulness as far as survival is concerned; it requires effective management so that life can be lived to the full.
However, it is extremely important not to turn off or reduce pain without first identifying the cause. The pain could be a symptom of a serious underlying problem.
So essential to consult with and have a diagnosis from your doctor before making an appointment to treat pain using hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy has been successfully used with: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, shingles, low back, shoulder and neck pain, trigeminal neuralgia, headaches including migraine, temporo-mandibular joint disorder (TMJ), myofascial pain syndrome, postoperative pain, stump and phantom limb pain, ME / chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer pain, gout, IBS The good news is that most pain will respond to hypnotherapy, whatever the cause, with practice.
It’s probably not surprising that I’ve such an interest in pain management given my background in nursing. This brings an underpinning knowledge of medical conditions and expertise in emotionally supporting those who have been affected by trauma and illness.

In 2019 I qualified for a Team GB cadet squad and was invited to compete internationally for the first time. I found that I couldn’t bring my standards from practice into the competitions as I got overwhelmed by the setting. Ann worked with me on focusing techniques, preparation and positive framing.
Not only have I used these techniques in my sporting life but have also applied them in schooling. I have found that much of it could also be applied to exam preparation; I have been far calmer before, during and after exams. My ability to focus for revision, put marks into perspective and be reflective has improved. During Covid19 when many people are unsettled about exam marks and future options, I have been calmer and as such able to make plans for all eventualities. Thank You.I cannot thank you enough for helping me to get control of my life and start to live it. I find it almost impossible to put into words how much my sessions with you have helped me to change my life for the better. Your ability to deal with profoundly complex issues in a safe, reassuring, non judgemental,professional yet friendly way has given me the confidence to finally work through and deal with very deep seated issues that have blighted my life until now.
To say you have changed my life for the better is not overstating how I feel. To anyone wondering if consulting Ann is 'worth a go' I would say - what are you waiting for, the start of a new life is only a phone call away.
Thank you againThank you so much for the hypnotherapy sessions. You have given me the confidence to go out there and find happiness of which I never thought I would before coming to you. The sessions were thoroughly enjoyable and have certainly changed me as a person for the better. I would recommend anyone with life, health issues etc. to pay you a visit as it has worked wonders for me. The best start to a new year I've ever had.
Thank you once again.I went along to see Ann for a four week weight management programme. I was a little apprehensive but was immediately put at ease by Ann. At all times she was professional, empathetic, supportive and very approachable. She was able to explain very clearly what she was doing and why.
