Hypnotherapy for confidence
If you’ve spent years telling yourself you’re not good enough, it’s time for a different story. Feel more at ease in who you are, at work, at home and everywhere in between.
I’m Peter Hallford, a clinical hypnotherapist. I see people one to one, either in my garden therapy room in Heanor, a short drive from Derby, Ilkeston, Ripley and Belper, or online by video call from your own home.
Sessions are £59 for an hour. Your first chat is free, and there’s no obligation to book.
Does this sound like you?
- Holding back your ideas in meetings
- Dreading presentations, interviews or speeches
- Second-guessing every decision
- Feeling like a fraud, waiting to be found out
- Putting everyone else first, every time
- Wanting to go for something but talking yourself out of it
Self-doubt is usually a habit of thinking learned a long time ago. Habits of thinking can change.
How hypnotherapy can help
In a relaxed, focused state we work on the old messages that hold you back and strengthen a calmer, more confident way of responding to the situations that matter to you.
That might be speaking up at work, walking into a room of people, an interview, a driving test or simply feeling more comfortable being yourself.
Every session is shaped around what you want to feel more confident about, and you’ll go home with simple techniques to use in the moment.
What happens when you get in touch
A free chat
A phone call where you tell me what’s been going on and what you’d like to change, ask anything you like, and we plan your session. No obligation.
Settling in
Each session lasts an hour, in Heanor or online, and costs £59. The first ten minutes are simply for getting comfortable and settled.
The hypnotherapy
Then around forty minutes of hypnotherapy. I guide you into a calm, focused state, and you stay aware and in control the whole time.
Coming back
The last ten minutes are for coming fully back out of the session and a little chat about how it went for you. We decide together whether another session would help.
Hello, I’m Peter
I’m a clinical hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner based in Heanor. The 1964 in the name is the year I was born.
My approach is warm, straightforward and centred on you. We get to the heart of what you want to change and work on it together.
Hypnotherapy isn’t something I do to you. It’s something we do together.
Trained with the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Academy by Ali Campbell, a course accredited by the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT) and the Complementary Medical Association (CMA).
Questions people often ask
Can you help with nerves before a big event?
Yes. Interviews, presentations, exams, driving tests, speeches and performances are all common reasons people come to see me. Get in touch early so we have time before the day.
What about imposter syndrome at work?
Yes. Feeling like you don’t belong, or that you’ll be found out, is very common, and we can work on how you respond to those thoughts.
Will I lose control or be made to do anything?
No. Hypnotherapy is a relaxed, focused state, a bit like being absorbed in a good book. You are awake, aware and in control the whole time, and you can open your eyes and come back to the room whenever you like. It is nothing like stage hypnosis.
How much does a session cost?
Sessions are £59 for an hour: ten minutes to settle in, around forty minutes of hypnotherapy, and ten minutes at the end to come fully back and chat about how it went. Your first chat by phone is free.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. If you’d rather stay at home, we can work together by video call. All you need is a quiet room where you won’t be disturbed, a comfortable chair and headphones.
Where are sessions held?
Either in my garden therapy room in Heanor, Derbyshire (DE75), or online by video call from your own home. In-person clients come from Heanor, Langley Mill, Eastwood, Ilkeston, Ripley, Belper, Alfreton and Derby, and online sessions work from anywhere.
Is it confidential?
Yes. What we talk about stays between us.
Ready to talk?
