IBS Hypnotherapy

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a complex condition characterised by a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation, often exacerbated by stress and anxiety. Our IBS Hypnotherapy service offers a specialised approach to alleviate these symptoms. Understanding the strong connection between the mind and the gastrointestinal system, we focus on addressing the psychological and physical aspects of IBS.

Through Clinical Hypnotherapy, we aim to calm the mind and, in turn, soothe the gut. Our sessions involve guiding individuals into a relaxed state, allowing us to work with the subconscious to modify the body’s response to stress, a known trigger for IBS symptoms. We explore and reframe stressors and anxiety-inducing thoughts that can exacerbate IBS, promoting a more balanced and harmonious gut function.

Common IBS-Related Issues We Address:

Abdominal pain and cramping are often exacerbated by stress.
Irregular bowel movements, including diarrhoea and constipation.
Bloating and gas lead to discomfort and embarrassment.
Urgency for bowel movements, causing anxiety and distress.
Sensitivity to certain foods contributes to dietary restrictions.
Fatigue and a general feeling of discomfort.
Anxiety and stress related to managing IBS symptoms.
Sleep disturbances due to abdominal discomfort or pain.
Social anxiety or avoidance due to IBS symptoms.
Impact on quality of life, including work and personal activities.

Our therapy is not just about symptom management; it’s about empowering individuals with the tools to control their IBS and improve their overall quality of life. By incorporating relaxation techniques and positive suggestions, we help to reduce the frequency and severity of IBS flare-ups.

Integrated Therapeutic Approach for IBS Management

Our comprehensive strategy for treating IBS combines Clinical Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Counselling, NLP, and Psychology:

Clinical Hypnotherapy

We utilise hypnotherapy to directly communicate with the subconscious mind, addressing and modifying the psychological factors that contribute to IBS symptoms. This includes stress management and relaxation techniques tailored to soothe the digestive system.

Psychotherapy

This involves exploring any underlying emotional triggers or past experiences that may be exacerbating IBS symptoms. Understanding these psychological aspects can be vital in developing effective coping strategies.

Counselling

Providing a supportive environment, counselling helps individuals discuss their experiences with IBS openly. It aids in understanding the impact of IBS on their life and developing strategies for better symptom management and lifestyle adjustments.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP techniques change negative thought patterns and behaviours related to IBS. This approach helps in fostering positive mental habits and responses, which can alleviate the physical symptoms.

Psychology

Applying cognitive-behavioural strategies, we work on improving the psychological well-being of individuals. This includes relaxation training, stress reduction techniques, and building resilience against IBS triggers.

Combining these methodologies, we provide a holistic and personalised treatment plan for IBS, focusing on reducing physical symptoms and enhancing overall quality of life.

Session Fees and Duration for IBS Hypnotherapy

Our IBS Hypnotherapy sessions are offered with a clear and concise fee structure:

Fee Per Session: Each session, lasting one hour, is priced at £190.

The number of sessions required to manage IBS effectively can vary based on individual conditions, including the severity of symptoms and the client’s response to hypnotherapy. Some clients may notice significant improvements within a few sessions, while others might benefit from more sessions to address and manage their symptoms thoroughly.

Reviews and testimonials

JB

I found my sessions with Kamal be both helpful and productive in my desire to lose weight. I was listened to very carefully and was treated with professionalism and kindness. I felt that Kamal really wanted to help me and talked through my session with him. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Naima

Kamal is very welcoming and gentle. I had a great experience.

I chose to get hypnotherapy to cure my phobia of bugs ahead of a camping festival in the Bulgarian mountains.

The treatment proved effective as I was able to enjoy my time at the festival in the presence of many bugs.

Peter

Very positive experience meeting with Kamal. He was attentive and in tune with trying to help, and made it his business to fully understand the entire picture and took his time to listen and probe to address it professionally and with care.

Very friendly, warm and an excellent communicator between appointments, which made the process seamless for me. Would highly recommend Kamal and his services to anyone looking to.
