Hypnotherapy
We use Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy (SFH). In a nut shell this is a therapy focusing on a solution i.e. the result the client is looking for. The therapy is about looking forward not back and creating positivity in our subconscious mind through the use of trance. Trance is a very normal thing, we do it all the time and we can use it to help ourselves enormously.

Our hypnotherapist is Richard Bull retired from the police at the beginning of 2019. In his service he had various roles and dealt with and supervised many unpleasant situations, this resulted in him suffering from PTSD towards the end of his career.
“I suffered from PTSD and was given counselling, that works for many, I found it very negative. I researched other therapy and solution focused hypnotherapy was very positive in its methodology.
I then went on to train as a solution focused hypnotherapist so I could help others.”
Smoking
Congratulations you have just taken the first step to stopping smoking by researching and reading this. That step towards a healthier happy life.
Do you want to stop smoking? Hypnotherapy is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to stop smoking. No need for vapes, nicotine patches, sprays or any other of the array of goods you can buy to assist stopping smoking.
It is a simple, intensive two hour session and has a 97.3% success rate.
Steph had been a smoker since her teenage years, she had given up before but started again in social circles while drinking with friends. "I had tried most everything to stop smoking but always went back to the dreaded 'Fag' when out socially. I did a two hour hypnotherapy session with Richard at Calmer Rooms and I haven’t had a cigarette for 18 months now".
Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the most dilapidating mental health illnesses that anybody can suffer from. Sufferers can have an inability to complete the smallest of tasks without the trauma of major worry.
Ian "My anxiety had got to such a stage that I would worry about cooking broccoli and whether my wife and son would like it. I could not get it out of my mind. Hypnotherapy has calmed me and given me the confidence that I need to put things into perspective so I can live a normal life"
Anxiety is caused by negative thinking, and the more negatively we think the more anxious we become. A horrible place to be in life but given a little time Hypnotherapy can really help, putting us back into that more logical thinking pattern.
Depression
Horrible, horrible, horrible. Depression is just horrible. Nobody likes to feel unhappy, being depressed is being woefully unhappy and then some. If left untreated it can lead to a complete breakdown of an individual’s life, relationships, friendships, work, recreation all suffer.
Ultimately life can feel like its not worth living and that nobody or anything would miss you or suffer from your absence. Please don’t suffer in silence hypnotherapy and solution focused hypnotherapy in particular really will help.
Priority is given to clinically depressed clients.
If you are feeling critically depressed and you are considering taking you own life please consult your GP immediately.
Alternatively, consider contacting The Samaritans
Anger
Anger is often associated to anxiety and depression, one of the three primitive opt out clause given to us from our ancient past. Anger in its primitive form was a mechanism to increase our physical strength when there was a threat to the tribal family.
We all have the emotional response of anger but if it starts to get out of control its time to do something about it. Hypnotherapy can create that feeling of relaxation and control. Often anger sufferers are very ashamed of the symptoms, at Calmer Rooms you will be treated with respect and never judged, we are here to help.
Confidence
Reach your full potential.
Confidence is the key to so many facets in life. Public speaking, sporting achievement, job interviews the list is endless. A lack of confidence can be crippling to achieving your desires or dreams. Most people will have had that horrible nervous feeling in the pit of the stomach, from asking that girl or out when in puberty, to appearing in front of a large audience for the first time, confidence is the key to success.
Hypnotherapy can assist you in gaining that confidence that will allow you to achieve the goals you deserve and want in life.
Weight loss and gain
Generally, when we talk about weight issues. We consider it to be in a need to lose weight but on occasions people may need to gain weight. Solution focused hypnotherapy has some amazing results both for weight loss and gain.
Both weight gain and loss can result from anxiety, whether overtly recognised or hidden in the subconscious. Hypnotherapy is a lovely, gentle method for assisting you to make the right dietary choices that fit your needs.
Phobias including the unique 5 stage phobia treatment.
Everybody has a fear of some form but when it effects your day-to-day life it is becoming a phobia. Heights, flying, spiders, enclosed spaces the list is endless. With hypnotherapy rewind and reframe technique, along with the solution focussed hypnotherapy phobias can be reduced and even eliminated altogether.
We do offer a unique 5 stage phobia treatment. Spread over five weeks we will travel through a journey with you from initial consultation, specific to the phobia, followed by three weeks of hypnotherapy and on the fifth week we will visit your phobia with you.
Tracey had a phobia about lifts. During the initial consultation we discussed how a lift operates, this was backed up by three sessions of hypnotherapy and culminated in a visit to the local shopping centre where Tracey was assisted in completing her first journey in a lift.
Tracey "I can’t believe I've managed to go in a lift, I’m overwhelmed."
The 5 stage treatment can be extended as necessary.
Insomnia
Sleep is so important to our health and welfare. It affects us in so many ways, both physically and mentally, we all know how it feels was we had a bad night sleep, some of us know how it feels to have not had a good night sleep for weeks, months or even years. Solution focused hypnotherapy is massively successful in assisting in changing sleep patterns and returning an individual from insomnia to a good nights rest.
Brian "I hadn’t slept properly for three years, I would wake up at 2 o’clock in the morning and if I was lucky I may drop off again around five just for another hour. I had become so anxious about waking up that even getting sleep was becoming difficult. After just half a dozen sessions, my sleep pattern was in a much better place and I was sleeping for six hours a night. He cannot believe the difference is made to me."
IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome can be so demoralising. Pharmaceutical treatments often don’t work and is often caused by my hidden or overt stress in its many forms. Hypnotherapy for IBS is an approach that the NHS approves of, as recommended by the National Institute for health and care excellence (NICE)
through the use of hypnosis will be able to give you corrective adjustments necessary for your digestive system to function with less bloating, pain, constipation or diarrhoea.
PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is not just for the military and emergency services, it is about trauma in all walks of life. Child birth, car accidents and bereavement can all cause PTSD along with many other traumatic events.
It doesn’t have to be linked to just one incident it can be the drip effect over a period of time.
Richard “I had been a police officer for 29 years, nothing seemed to phase me, I had seen most things in my career. As I approached retirement, I noticed I was avoiding certain calls and situations. One night while out with a group of friends for a meal, one of our friends asked what I would miss about the police on retirement. I crumbled there and then into a jabbering wreck, the trauma of the years had finally caught up with me.”
Someone with PTSD often relives the traumatic event through nightmares and flashbacks, and may experience feelings of isolation, irritability and guilt.
They may also have problems sleeping and find concentrating difficult.
These symptoms are often severe and persistent enough to have a significant impact on the person's day-to-day life.
Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy is about looking forward and helps the mind switch the polarity away from negative introspection into positivity. This can be fully discussed at the free initial consultation.

Bereavement
Bereavement, is sadly a fact of life. The death of a loved one can leave us empty and distraught, leaving us with a tangled web of emotions. Not only is there the emotional side, but the stress of having to deal with the practical side of any bereavement is extremely challenging.
Solution focused hypnotherapy will help you to look forward and enjoy the past and appreciate how the loved one has affected you in a positive way.
Pain Management
Pain is a fact of life. We have all suffered from it. Pain is our body’s way of letting the mind know there is something wrong and needs to be fixed, if you think about a dog that hurt his foot. It will keep its weight off it, because it hurts allowing the foot time to heal.
If a child falls over is commonplace to rub where it hurts, this disturbs the transmission of the paying by the nervous system to the brain. Chronic pain is different from acute pain as it is continual and can leave us feeling extremely miserable.
Solution focused hypnotherapy sessions can help to block the pain receptors to chronic pain assisting you to live your life to the full again.
OCD
There are two main areas to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Obsessions are unwanted, repetitive and intrusive thoughts that result in irrational fears.
Compulsions in the habits and rituals that are generated by obsessions and are carried out as a response to those fears.
Solution focused hypnotherapy concentrates not on the Obsession, but on the existing anxiety, which creates the behaviours and thoughts. By easing the anxiety, the OCD simply fades away, enabling the sufferer to regain control of their lives.
Menopause
Symptoms of the menopause
Most women will experience menopausal symptoms. Some of these can be quite severe and have a significant impact on your everyday activities.
Common symptoms include:
- hot flushes
- night sweats
- vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex
- difficulty sleeping
- low mood or anxiety
- reduced sex drive (libido)
- problems with memory and concentration
Menopausal symptoms can begin months or even years before your periods stop and last around 4 years after your last period, although some women experience them for much longer.
Hypnotherapy can help to reduce the symptoms, relax you and help you cope with this difficult time in your life.
Jacky “I didn’t know why I felt the way I did. I was miserable, tearful, couldn’t sleep and had no energy. After nine sessions I had gone from being a 3 on a happy scale of 10 to 8/9. I was very sceptical, I’m now a total convert”
Alcohol Misuse
Alcohol misuse is when you drink in a way that's harmful, or when you're dependent on alcohol. Many people enjoy a drink and on occasions drink to excess. Hypnotherapy can assist in the resistance for the need or want to have a drink and can be used as a treatment to combat heavy drinking.
We advise that if you have a severe alcohol issue that you take advice from your GP and contact alcoholics anonymous. Obviously, we can assist and would be glad to do so, our clients come first and with AA and hypnotherapy help your chances of success increase.
