Hypnotherapy in Dorset, in your own home
Some things don’t shift just by talking about them: the worry that won’t switch off, the habit you’ve tried to quit a dozen times. I’m Mark, and I bring hypnotherapy to your home across Dorset, often blended with counselling, to help you make changes that last.

What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a way of working with the part of your mind that runs on autopilot: the automatic reactions, habits and beliefs that kick in before you’ve had a chance to think. I guide you into a state of deep relaxation, a lot like the feeling of daydreaming or drifting off on a long drive.
In that calm, focused state, your mind tends to be more open to new ideas. I introduce carefully chosen, positive suggestions to ease anxiety, loosen old habits and reshape the beliefs that hold you back.
Most of my clients have hypnotherapy alongside counselling. Talking helps you understand why something is happening; hypnotherapy helps you change how you respond to it. Together they often bring deeper, faster progress than either on its own.
What hypnotherapy can help with
Hypnotherapy isn’t a replacement for medical care. If you’re under your GP or taking medication, keep them in the loop, and we’ll work alongside that. Not sure? Just ask.
What hypnotherapy isn’t
It isn’t stage hypnosis
Nobody’s going to make you cluck like a chicken. Therapeutic hypnosis is calm, private and entirely about what you want to change.
It isn’t being controlled
You’re aware of what’s happening throughout. It feels much more like deep relaxation than being “under”, and you can’t be made to do anything you don’t want to.
It isn’t a magic wand
It works best when you want the change and we understand what’s driving the problem. That’s why I usually blend it with counselling.
What a hypnotherapy session looks like
We start with a chat
A relaxed conversation about what’s going on, what you’d like to change and anything you’re finding hard. From that, I shape a plan around you.
Settling into relaxation
Sitting comfortably in your own home, I talk you gently into a deeply relaxed state. Most people find this part lovely in itself.
Positive suggestions
Once you’re relaxed, I introduce suggestions tailored to your goals, whether that’s feeling calmer, breaking a habit or seeing yourself differently.
Coming back and talking it over
I bring you back gently, and we talk about how it felt and what you noticed, so the change sits alongside a clearer understanding.
Simple, honest fees
The same fair prices wherever you are in Dorset.

What clients say about working with Mark
Was sceptical at first, but as soon as I started to relax and embrace the situation it really worked! Wish I’d done something sooner.
Questions about hypnotherapy
Will I be asleep during hypnotherapy?
No. Hypnosis feels like deep relaxation, a bit like daydreaming. You’re aware of what’s happening, and many people remember most or all of the session.
Can everyone be hypnotised?
Most people can relax enough for hypnotherapy to help, especially in a place they feel safe, like their own home. If it isn’t right for you, we can focus on counselling instead.
Can hypnotherapy help me stop smoking or vaping?
Yes, habits like smoking and vaping are some of the most common reasons people come to me. We look at what keeps the habit going as well as working on it through hypnotherapy.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
It varies. Some habits shift in a few sessions; anxiety or low mood often takes longer. We’ll review as we go, and I’ll never book sessions you don’t need.
How much does hypnotherapy cost?
A one-hour hypnotherapy session in your home is £75, or £300 for a block of five. Blue Light Card holders pay £60. Your first 30-minute phone chat is free.
Need help urgently?
I’m not an emergency service. If you’re in crisis, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E. You can also call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option, or Samaritans free on 116 123, day or night.
