Manual Lymphatic Drainage may support:

• Reduction in post-surgical swelling and fluid retention
• Improved comfort and reduced tightness
• Support for tissue healing and recovery
• Enhanced circulation and lymph flow
• Reduction in feelings of heaviness or congestion in tissues
• Relaxation and nervous system calming

It is a gentle, non-invasive therapy suitable for sensitive or recovering tissues.

No. MLD is a very gentle and light treatment. The pressure used is soft and rhythmic, designed to work with the superficial lymphatic system rather than deep muscle tissue.  Most clients find it deeply relaxing, calming, and restorative.

This depends on the type of surgery and your individual healing process. In most cases, MLD is introduced within 24hrs post operative procedure once it is safe to do so and when initial healing has begun.

It is always important to follow your surgeon’s advice, and treatment timing will be discussed during your consultation to ensure it is appropriate for your stage of recovery.

This varies depending on the type of procedure, your body’s healing response, and your goals. Post-surgical recovery is individual, and some clients benefit from a short course of treatments, while others prefer ongoing support during the healing phase anywhere from six to ten usually.  A personalised plan will be discussed based on your needs.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage may also support people experiencing:

• Fluid retention and swelling
• Lymphatic congestion
• Post-injury inflammation
• General fatigue or sluggishness
• Stress-related tension and nervous system overload
• Skin health and detoxification support
• Lymphoedema and Lipoedema management

Yes. MLD may not be suitable in certain medical conditions such as acute infections, active cancer (without medical clearance), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or serious cardiac conditions.

A full consultation is always carried out to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

MLD is very gentle and relaxing. Many clients describe it as calming, light, and almost meditative. Some even fall asleep during treatment.

There is no discomfort, and the technique is designed to support the body’s natural rhythms.

Yes. MLD can be integrated within a broader body–mind approach or used alongside other supportive therapies depending on the client’s needs and or stage of recovery.

If you are unsure whether MLD is right for you or what stage of recovery you are at, you are welcome to make an enquiry to discuss your needs.  Use the form below:

Studies on hypnotherapy demonstrate that therapeutic outcomes depend primarily on the client’s responsiveness to hypnosis and the quality of the therapeutic process, rather than physical location. Online delivery works well because hypnosis is a focused state of attention that can be achieved through audio-visual connection, allowing clients to relax more easily in familiar surroundings, often increasing comfort and receptivity. As a result, outcomes remain consistent while accessibility and convenience are significantly improved.

• Attend sessions from your own home
• No travel time or stress
• Easier to relax in a familiar environment
• Flexible and accessible wherever you are
• Just as effective as in-person sessions

Many clients find online clinical hypnotherapy enhances relaxation and focus due to the comfort of their own space.

Clinical hypnotherapy is a short, solution-focused therapeutic approach that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access a naturally receptive state of mind. In this state, the mind becomes more open to exploring and reshaping subconscious patterns, habits, emotional responses, and thought processes that may be influencing how you feel, think, and behave.

It is a structured, evidence-informed therapy used to support emotional, psychological, and behavioural change. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and the process is collaborative - you remain aware, in control, and actively involved throughout.

• A quiet, private space where you won’t be disturbed
• A comfortable chair or place to lie down
• A device (phone, laptop, tablet) with camera, microphone, and stable internet connection
• Google Meet or WhatsApp Required
• Headphones (optional, but recommended.

Once your appointment is booked, prior to your appointment you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to the consultation form (this needs to be completed and returned 24hrs before your appointment), and an audio recording to listen to introducing hypnotherapy to you with some simple instructions.

On the day of your session, you’ll either be sent a secure Google Meet link or asked to connect via WhatsApp video call, depending on your preference.

There’s nothing complicated to set up - just click the link or answer the call at your agreed time, and we’ll begin your session together.

How it works on Apple devices:
• On iPhone/iPad: you can join via the Google Meet app (from the App Store) or a link in Safari/Chrome
• On Mac: you can join directly through your browser—no special software required
• You don’t need a Google account just to join a session

Hypnotherapy is suitable for most people, but it may not be appropriate in certain complex psychiatric conditions. A full consultation is always carried out beforehand to ensure the approach is safe, appropriate, and tailored to you.

Hypnosis is a gentle, relaxing process that helps you settle into a calm, focused state where the mind feels quieter and less overwhelmed, sometimes referred to as a trance state. You’re always aware and in control, but it becomes easier to step out of unhelpful patterns like overthinking, stress, or automatic reactions. In this state, your mind is more open to positive, supportive suggestions, allowing you to respond differently to thoughts, emotions, and even physical sensations.

By working with your mind’s natural ability to adapt and change, hypnosis can help you build healthier habits, feel more at ease, and create lasting, meaningful shifts. In this state, therapeutic suggestions and techniques can help create new perspectives, strengthen internal resources, and support healthier ways of responding to thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Clinical hypnotherapy is commonly used to support a wide range of emotional, psychological, and physical stress-related concerns, including:

• Anxiety and generalised stress
• Phobias and fears
• Panic responses
• Sleep difficulties
• Low confidence and self-esteem
• Behavioural habits and patterns
• Emotional overwhelm
• Stress-related physical symptoms, including pain perception and IBS-related symptoms

It is also frequently used alongside other therapeutic approaches as part of a holistic treatment plan

Clinical hypnotherapy is an established complementary therapy with a growing body of research exploring its effectiveness. Studies have shown positive outcomes in areas such as anxiety reduction, phobia work, pain management, and stress-related conditions, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

It is also used within clinical and medical settings as an adjunct therapy to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and behavioural change.

While it is not a replacement for medical care, it can be a highly effective supportive therapy when used appropriately and individually tailored.

No. You remain fully aware and in control throughout the entire process. Hypnosis is not a state of unconsciousness or mind control. You can hear everything being said, and you are always able to come out of the relaxed state whenever you choose. You cannot be made to do anything against your will, and you remain an active participant in the process at all times.

Most people describe hypnosis as a deeply relaxed, focused, and pleasant state—similar to daydreaming or being absorbed in a book or film. Some people feel deeply calm and still, while others simply feel focused and reflective. Each person’s experience is unique, and it can vary from session to session.

This depends entirely on the individual and the issue being addressed. Some people experience meaningful shifts in a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer, more supportive process.

We will always work collaboratively to assess progress and tailor sessions to your needs. Usually, 3-10 sessions are required.

Yes. In my practice, clinical hypnotherapy can be integrated with therapeutic bodywork where appropriate. This body–mind approach supports both psychological and physical responses, particularly where stress, tension, trauma, or surgery recovery are involved.
This integration allows for a more complete and holistic approach to change and healing.
