Helping you through anxiety, stress, low mood and broken sleep, and building the steadiness to handle whatever comes next.
MNCH · AfSFH · National Hypnotherapy Society · BSc Psychology · Cert. Counselling
I'm a solution-focused hypnotherapist with a background in psychology and counselling, though my path here was far from straight. Years running my own businesses taught me more about people, pressure and change than any course could.
The turning point was five years solo travelling the world with little more than a backpack. I watched my own assumptions come apart and rebuild into something steadier, and learned first-hand that people are far more capable of change than they realise.
I'm also neurodivergent. I know from the inside what overstimulation, a racing mind and burnout from masking feel like, and how differently an ADHD or autistic brain handles pressure. If that's you, you won't have to explain how your head works before we start.
Whether it's anxiety, a habit you can't shift or a knock to your confidence, I combine psychotherapy and hypnotherapy in a way that's warm, practical and grounded. Being solution-focused, we look forward: building on what's already working, rather than endlessly digging through the past.

Every session personalised to you
Quiet the overwhelm, ease panic and rebuild a steady baseline of calm, so you can switch off after work and the small things stop feeling like emergencies.
Reset broken sleep and quiet the racing mind at night - falling asleep more easily and waking up genuinely rested. Start with the free sleep audio.
Work on what drives the eating: stress snacking, evening grazing, and eating when you're not actually hungry. The aim is for healthier choices to feel normal rather than forced, without white-knuckling another diet.
Social confidence, speaking up at work, exams and sport - quiet the self-doubt and back yourself.
Release the specific fears and phobias - flying, driving, needles, spiders and more - that have outstayed their welcome.
Change unwanted habits - from nail-biting to comfort eating - and build patterns that support the life you want.
Support with what often comes alongside a neurodivergent brain: overstimulation, overwhelm, burnout from masking, and a mind that won't switch off. I'm neurodivergent myself, so we skip the explaining and get to work.
When pain outlasts its cause, the nervous system keeps sounding the alarm. We work on turning the volume down, and on the stress and broken sleep that come with it.
Pressure, focus and burnout-proofing for leaders and demanding careers.
One focused session
Quit cigarettes, vapes, snus or nicotine pouches like Zyn in a single two-hour session that settles the stress underneath the habit, not just the habit.
A relaxed 30-minute chat. You tell me what you'd like to change, I explain how I work, and see how we can help you achieve your goals.
Our first proper session. I explain what's happening in your brain, and we map out where you want to get to. I'll build your plan from there, and send you a relaxation audio to use between sessions.
We work together in person in Bristol, or online over Zoom from wherever you are - both equally effective. Steady, practical progress at a pace that suits you.

"I did hypnotherapy with Iden for two months and started to see the benefits very quickly. I managed to achieve everything we set out to do. From being somewhat hesitant to give it a shot, Iden explained the process to me, allaying any concerns. His knowledge is really abundant and his demeanour immediately puts you at ease. He is also really attuned at recognising patterns in your thought processes and actions which allows him to adapt each session to suit your needs and goals. Highly recommend!"
"I'm from Argentina, but the therapy 100% worked even being far away. We worked on my sleeping issues and I'm still amazed by the results. I fall asleep easily and naturally every night since then, and wake up fully rested. We also worked on self-regulating my emotions whenever I feel overwhelmed. It was a game changer."
"Had a great experience working with Iden over the course of 2 months. I was not aware how hypnotherapy works and decided to put my trust in Iden. I am very happy and grateful for the progress we made working together during this time."
"I started online hypnotherapy with Iden in July, unsure what to expect after mixed results with traditional therapy. After the first session alone I noticed a difference in my clarity, anxiety and sleep. It's not just relaxation and hypnosis: each session starts with an honest conversation about what I actually want to work on, and we leave with clear steps for the week. He's brilliant at creating subconscious change, but he also listens and helps you get clear on what you really want to improve.
When I missed a week, I genuinely felt the difference. One of the best investments I've made in myself. Sleep, clarity, productivity, anxiety and happiness have all improved massively. Can't recommend him enough."
"I had a wonderful hypnotherapy session with Iden, focused on chronic pain relief for my lower back. I felt comfortable and supported throughout the whole session, and I was impressed by how much of a difference I felt afterwards. Iden created such a calm and safe environment and guided me through the process with care and professionalism. A genuinely positive experience, and I would highly recommend Iden to anyone interested in exploring hypnotherapy for chronic pain."
"I can't recommend Iden enough. He created a space where I felt truly comfortable, and thanks to his thoughtful approach, I feel so much more confident and relaxed in everyday life. Warm, skilled, and genuinely caring. I'm grateful for the progress I made with him."

Discuss the programmeOne focused session
A single two-hour session designed to help you quit nicotine for good: cigarettes, vapes, pouches like Zyn or Nordic Spirit, or all of them. We look at why the habit has held on, settle the stress underneath it, and use guided hypnosis to rehearse life without it, so you leave already thinking like someone who is done with nicotine.

No, and this surprises a lot of people. This work is solution-focused, which means we spend our time looking at where you want to get to and how to get there, not digging back through painful or heavy details. You never have to re-live or recount your trauma to make progress; in fact, dwelling on the difficult stuff works against the calm, forward-focused state we're building together. You only ever share what you're comfortable with.
Yes. Solution-focused hypnotherapy is grounded in psychotherapy and neuroscience, with a growing evidence base behind it. It works by helping your brain step out of the stress response and build calmer, more useful patterns - most people notice a shift within the first few sessions.
No. Hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed, focused state we call trance - a bit like daydreaming or being absorbed in a good film. You stay fully aware, in control, and can't be made to do anything you don't want to. Most people just find it pleasantly calming.
We start by talking - about how things are now and where you'd like to get to. The second half is relaxation, where I guide you into a calm, focused state and we reinforce the positive changes you want. You leave feeling rested, not strange.
It depends on what you're working on, but most goals take around 8 sessions, and depending on the case and complexity, sometimes up to 12. Stopping smoking or vaping is the exception: that's usually a single two-hour session. I'll give you an honest sense of this on your free initial consultation.
Both. I see clients in person in Bristol, and online over Zoom anywhere in the world. Online is every bit as effective: you get the same results from the comfort of your own home.
