Michèle Lazarus - Hypnotherapist

I trained as a hypnotherapist in 2013, following more than 30 years of working as a counsellor and management trainer. I’m based in Ownzone therapy rooms in central Stroud and also work on Zoom.

Hypnotherapy can help with an extremely wide range of issues including sleep, stress, weight, anxiety, depression, confidence, pain, sports performance, OCD, phobias and many more.

A therapy session is a combination of talking and hypnosis (or trance), and is firmly based on what we know about how the brain works from neuroscientific evidence. Sessions last an hour and the number required varies with the individual. Often significant changes take place within a short number of weeks.

Hypnosis is used as it’s natural for us to go in and out of trance states in everyday life – a bit like daydreaming. In this state our brain relaxes helping us to make good choices and decisions, finding ways forward in our lives and solutions to problems. 

Contrary to what you may have seen on TV, hypnosis is not about me taking control, but rather, it helps you to take more control. My aim as a mental health practitioner is to help you to live your best life.
