"Transform Your Story, Empower Your Future."
It's not your fault...
Did you know that 1 in 3 people experience a mental health problem every year? Most of our psychological issues are linked to unresolved traumatic or stressful past events. The symptoms show up in many ways include comfort eating, anxiety, procrastination, depression, low self esteem, phobias, anger, isolation, self doubt and more.
In fact over half of all adults in the UK report experiencing at least one type of adverse childhood experience, such as abuse neglect or a stressful event, which can have long-term impacts on your mental health, happiness and future success.
Real Talk: What People Are Raving About...
I am not someone who would normally seek help from anyone really but I was desperate. I have a medical issue with my oesophagus and can’t eat food. I am on a dietary meal suppliment drink which is disgusting. All I could think about was food every second of the day. Since my first session with Doug I have no longer craved food and can actually watch other people eat and have no feeling about it at all. I can now drink my meal replacement with no real issue. I am genuinely amazed at how well it has worked, he’s been brilliant. It has potentially worked so well that if I can start to eat food again I will need to see him to reverse my uninterest in food!
After a very traumatic event in my life I sought out EMDR therapy, Doug was very welcoming and flexible to my circumstances. He has a gentle voice and skills that have helped me massively. The progress I have made even in just 6 sessions has been really great for me. Very knowledgeable and will continue to visit for sessions. Many thanks
I have been seeing Mr Womack for the past few months, and I can confidently say that he has profoundly impacted my life in the best way possible. From the very first session, Mr Womack's warm and empathetic demeanor made me feel comfortable and understood. He possesses a remarkable ability to listen attentively and provide thoughtful, insightful feedback.
WONDERFUL safe space. Very relaxing voice and gentle demeanour. Just what is needed if in an anxious or negative state of mind. Of all the hypnotherapists I contacted, Doug's approach to reaching out to me was very personal and genuine: not just a pre -fabricated, robotic email with details on price and insistence on booking as a first. Doug phoned me to chat about my situation to see if he could help in the first instance, without any charge etc. He spent over an hour on the phone with me and within minutes I felt at ease and confident that I could openly speak to him. After his time, he assessed whether he could help me and I am positive he would have been honest and said if he couldn't help, without asking for any consultation fee. Feel so relieved and happy to say that Doug has played a huge part in me stepping forward.Thank you.
Amazing experience, iv never had hypnotherapy before and I found it really helpful and very relaxing. Doug made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend to everyone and can't wait until my next session.
I had an excellent experience with Doug. He's listening skills were exceptional, creating a comfortable environment for open communication. The unique therapeutic style employed was not only effective but also tailored to my needs, making the sessions highly beneficial. I highly recommend his services.
I've attended a mindfulness session led my Doug. Doug brings a variety of practical elements to his teachings and I left the session feeling both centered and relaxed.
Doug understands human behaviour and psychology brilliantly. An excellent listener and advisor with lots of insights into how we can improve our lives and look at life in a more positive and constructive way. Highly recommend Doug to all for a better way of thinking and counselling.
I found Doug to be Professional, with a Calm Manner and his Great Listening Skills made him very attuned to my problem situation .Doug’s knowledge in various therapies facilitated in helping me discover new ways and skills to not only to cope with my problem issues, but to move forward in a positive transformational way .

Introducing: The Core Freedom Method
Doug has crafted a powerful fusion of healing techniques to help you thrive. Here’s the 3 core phases that make up his unique approach to transformation.
Phase 1: Stabilization and Safety
Stabilization and safety focuses on creating a secure relationship with oneself by using somatic and cognitive healing practices to help regulate the nervous system and manage dissociation, providing a sense of grounding and control.
Phase 2: Processing and Integration
Processing and Integration, focuses on healing old wounds that are showing up today by working through thoughts and emotions. It involves therapies like EMDR to reprocess trauma, cognitive restructuring to change negative thoughts, and mindfulness to manage triggers. Developing self-compassion and rebuilding identity are key steps. This process helps survivors create a healthier self-image.
Phase 3: Reconnection and Growth
Reconnection and Growth, focuses on rebuilding a connection with oneself and fostering long-term personal wellbeing. This includes empowering individuals through hypnosis, setting boundaries, and pursuing meaningful goals. It also involves developing self-care practices to prevent relapse and maintaining mental well-being.
Faq
Yes, hypnotherapy has been shown to be highly effective for many individuals. According to a review by Dr. Alfred A. Barrios, Ph.D., hypnotherapy boasts a 93% success rate, often achieved after just 6 sessions. This compares favorably to other therapies like psychoanalysis, which has a 38% success rate after 600 sessions, and behavior therapy, with a 72% success rate after 22 sessions. Hypnotherapy is not only effective but also efficient and cost-effective, making it a strong option for those seeking mental health treatment.
Yes, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is highly effective for treating trauma. Research shows that up to 90% of single-trauma victims no longer exhibit PTSD symptoms after just three sessions. For complex trauma, studies indicate a significant reduction in symptoms after 6 to 12 sessions.
EMDR is often faster than traditional talk therapies. In some studies, EMDR has been shown to achieve results in less than half the time it takes for other methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). EMDR has an 80-90% success rate in eliminating or significantly reducing PTSD symptoms in patients, making it one of the most effective treatments available.
A hypno-psychotherapist is a specialized clinical mental health professional who expertly integrates hypnotherapy with traditional psychotherapy to help you overcome a wider range of psychological and emotional challenges. This unique approach combines the power of hypnosis—allowing access to the subconscious mind—with proven psychotherapeutic techniques to promote deep, lasting healing and personal growth.
Our Core Freedom method is an integrated approach that tackles the root causes of your issues, providing comprehensive care that goes beyond symptom management. By tailoring an infusion of powerful modalities to your unique needs, we help you achieve solution focused, healing and transformation.
Yes, we offer both in-person and online sessions to accommodate your needs and preferences. We find that both give the same high level of results.
We require 48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations incur the full session fee. Please contact us directly if you need to change your appointment. (This is due to the prep work that we put into each session and the fact that we aren't able to open that spot up to another client at such short notice.)
