When you’re battling addiction or anxiety, even getting out of bed can feel like climbing a mountain. The constant intrusive thoughts, the overwhelming dread, the feeling that life will never get better—it can leave you frozen, isolated, and hopeless. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
As an experienced addiction therapist in Edinburgh, I help people just like you break free from the grip of addiction, calm their minds, and take back control—one day at a time.
Asking for help is one of the bravest steps you’ll ever take—but it can change everything. With the right support, you’ll learn powerful techniques to manage triggers, overcome overwhelming moments, and rebuild your confidence from the ground up. You'll break through the barriers holding you back and reconnect with the version of yourself that’s been lost to addiction.
Through expert hypnotherapy for addiction, you’ll start to feel the freedom, clarity, and joy that real recovery brings.
Start living and loving your life.
Working with an NLP Hypnotherapist like me will help you:
Break limiting beliefs
Let go of the shame, the cravings, the cycle. You’re not broken—you’re ready to rise.
Gain more clarity
See past the chaos. Understand the why, and take back control of your choices.
Discover the real you
The real you is still in there, strong, clear, and free. Let’s bring you back.
