About hypnosis
Hypnosis and areas of work
Understand the process. Recognise your goal. Take the next step.
Some habits and reactions keep repeating even when we consciously want to change them. We use hypnosis to support work on these patterns, together with conversation, a clearly agreed goal and your active participation.
Here you can learn what hypnosis looks like and explore the areas we work in.
What is hypnosis?
A state of focused attention
Hypnosis is a state of focused attention in which, with guidance and suggestions, you can concentrate on particular experiences, thoughts and reactions. It is often accompanied by a feeling of relaxation, but the experience is not the same for everyone.
During a session we use speech, focusing of attention and imagining situations related to the agreed goal. Suggestions are proposals that guide this process, not orders you have to obey.
What does the work look like?
The first step is a conversation
Before we begin, we talk about what you want to change, what you have already tried and what you expect from the work. We explain the process and consider whether our approach suits your situation.
Individual sessions
They allow more room for your circumstances, personal triggers and goals. The content of the work is agreed according to the topic you come with.
Group sessions
They bring together participants with a shared goal, such as quitting smoking or changing eating habits. The session has a shared structure and does not require sharing personal stories in front of the group.
Your role
Your feedback and participation in the agreed changes outside the session are important. If difficulties arise, we talk about them and consider the next step.

Featured programme
Quitting smoking
Change begins with understanding the place cigarettes hold in your day.
Quitting smoking
Coffee, a break at work, stress or socialising can be strongly linked to smoking. That is why wanting to quit often also means changing routines that have developed over years.
In the programme we focus on your reasons for quitting, the situations in which you reach for a cigarette and preparing different responses to those situations. We use hypnosis in working on habits and motivation.
We offer the programme through individual sessions and group sessions. We do not promise that you will quit after a particular session. Evidence for the effectiveness of hypnosis for quitting smoking is limited; you can talk to a doctor or pharmacist about proven options for support with nicotine addiction.
Featured programme
Weight control and relationship with food
Room for healthier habits, without judgement.
Weight control and relationship with food
Do you reach for food when you’re stressed, tired or bored? Or do you find it hard to keep up the habits you decided to introduce?
We focus the work on situations related to eating, emotional triggers and consistency in the changes you want to make. The aim is to develop a more mindful relationship with food and habits that are sustainable in your everyday life.
We offer the programme individually and in groups. We do not promise any particular weight loss. Hypnosis does not replace nutritional or medical advice, and if an eating disorder is suspected, an appropriate professional assessment is needed.
01
Calm and emotional balance
For moments when it’s hard to pause, quiet your thoughts or rest.
Stress and relaxation
Take time when you don’t constantly have to be ready for the next obligation.
Stress and relaxation
When pressure builds up, it can be hard to pause and rest. In our work we focus on recognising tension, guided relaxation and preparing a calmer response to everyday challenges.
We talk about the situations that put you under pressure and goals that make sense in your personal or work environment. Relaxation programmes are also available for groups and companies.
Excessive worry and inner tension
When your thoughts keep returning to what could go wrong.
Excessive worry and inner tension
Second-guessing decisions and imagining unfavourable outcomes can take up a lot of space in your day. We focus the work on your relationship with these thoughts, directing attention and the experience of calm.
If worry, anxiety or panic attacks are pronounced and interfere with everyday functioning, an assessment by a mental health professional is important. The possibility of additional support with hypnosis is considered in line with your needs and any existing treatment.
Fears and phobias
When your reaction to a particular situation stops you from doing what you want to do.
Fears and phobias
Flying, driving, visiting the dentist or enclosed spaces are some of the reasons people contact us.
We talk about when the fear appears and how it affects your life. The work may include relaxation and imagining a different response to the situation, while respecting your boundaries.
With pronounced phobias, the need for professional psychological treatment is considered.
Sleep and rest
Make room for rest in your day.
Sleep and rest
If you find it hard to stop thinking about your obligations in the evening, we can focus the work on relaxation and bedtime routines. We look at what makes the transition from activity to rest difficult for you and what changes you want to introduce.
Long-term sleep problems require a medical assessment. Hypnosis does not replace treatment of causes such as sleep apnoea.
02
Self-confidence and personal growth
More confidence in situations that matter to you.
Self-confidence and personal boundaries
More trust in your own decisions and the right to express what matters to you.
Self-confidence and personal boundaries
Do you find it hard to say “no”, share your opinion or do something without others’ approval? We can focus the work on specific situations in which you want more confidence.
We work with inner dialogue, expectations and mental preparation for a different way of reacting. We define the goal through what you want to be able to do in everyday life.
Public speaking and stage fright
Prepare to express what you know.
Public speaking and stage fright
A presentation, a job interview or addressing a group can cause tension even when you are well prepared.
We focus the work on relaxation, attention and imagining the speaking situation. The aim is to prepare the way you want to react and to keep speaking even when you feel nervous.
03
Focus and achieving goals
From intention to concrete steps and better preparation.
Focus and concentration
Focus your attention on what matters to you in the moment.
Focus and concentration
If you often switch from one task to another or find it hard to get into a working rhythm, we can talk about the habits and circumstances that distract you.
The work includes mental preparation, directing attention and defining a clearer approach to the task.
This programme is not a diagnosis or treatment of attention disorders.
Motivation and procrastination
From intention to a concrete step.
Motivation and procrastination
You know what you want to do, but you keep putting off getting started? Behind this there may be discomfort, fear of making a mistake or a feeling that the task is too big.
We talk about what happens before you procrastinate and work on preparing a different response. The aim is to connect personal motivation with achievable steps and more consistent habits.
Mental preparation for sport
Give attention to the mental side of preparation too.
Mental preparation for sport
Competition nerves, loss of focus or doubt after a setback can be topics for individual work.
We use relaxation, visualisation and mental preparation for situations that matter in your sport. We connect goals with training and performance, without promising sporting results.
This work does not replace physical training or medical rehabilitation.
04
Habits and behaviours
A conversation about change, without judgement and with clear limits of support.
Alcohol
A conversation about changing your relationship with alcohol, without judgement.
Alcohol
If you are concerned about the place alcohol has in your life, you can contact us to talk about options for support. We focus hypnosis work on motivation and the behaviour patterns associated with drinking.
Alcohol dependence requires a professional assessment and a treatment plan. Hypnosis is not a substitute for addiction treatment or medically supervised withdrawal.
If there is physical dependence, stopping drinking suddenly can be dangerous. Seek medical advice before stopping.
Gambling and betting
When you want to change behaviour that affects your time, money and relationships.
Gambling and betting
The feeling that you have to keep playing or win back what you’ve lost can make it hard to stop gambling. You can talk to us about this topic without judgement.
We consider work with hypnosis as additional support for motivation and changing patterns, not as a stand-alone treatment for gambling problems. If you are losing control, building up debts, or your relationships and everyday life are affected, a professional assessment and evidence-based treatment are important.
Your topic isn’t listed?
Your goal doesn’t have to fit on a single card.
The areas listed are some of the topics people come to us with. If you want to work on another habit, behaviour pattern or personal reaction, get in touch.
In an introductory conversation we will consider your goal and whether we can offer you appropriate support. If a different kind of help is needed, we will tell you openly.
