If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Does hypnotherapy work?” you’re not alone. Lots of people are curious about hypnotherapy but feel unsure about what it involves or whether it could really make a difference for them or their family. As a clinical hypnotherapist in Solihull and London, I’ve worked with children, teenagers, and adults from all over the world, helping them feel calmer, happier, and more in control of their lives.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is simply a way of using deep relaxation and gentle focus to help your mind let go of unhelpful patterns and welcome in more positive ones. You’re always in control (it’s not like stage hypnosis) and many people find the experience surprisingly calming and even enjoyable.
What Can Hypnotherapy Help With?
Clients often come to me when they feel stuck and nothing else seems to be working. Hypnotherapy can be really helpful for:
Sometimes, just a handful of sessions, supported with personalised hypnotherapy recordings you can use at home, can make all the difference.
What Do Clients Say?
The best way to answer “Does hypnotherapy work?” is to hear from people who’ve tried it:
“My experience with Angela was just brilliant… The treatment itself is changing my life and helping me tackle crippling anxiety. It is unbelievable.” – Bryony
“Angela, I can’t thank you enough! My phobia has disappeared, I’m so grateful.” – Lisa
“Seeing the benefits my daughter experienced after seeing Angie, I did not hesitate in arranging a session… Hypnosis has been a life-changing experience.” – Ness
“I came to Angela for hypnotherapy to help me overcome and deal with anxiety… Since finishing, myself and people around me have seen a significant difference in me.” – Gracie
These are just a few of the stories I hear every week, each one a reminder of how powerful hypnotherapy can be.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
Every person (and every child) is different, but most people find that 3–4 sessions bring real, lasting results. For younger children, personalised recordings often work beautifully, while adults can choose between face-to-face sessions or recordings that slot easily into daily life.

In a word, yes. Hypnotherapy isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about helping your mind find calmer, healthier ways to respond, giving you tools you can use long after our sessions end. For many people (and many children), it’s life-changing.
