Feeling Stuck? Hypnotherapy Could Be the Key to Getting Unstuck
Have you been feeling like something’s holding you back but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is?
Maybe you’re emotionally exhausted, constantly overthinking, or stuck in a loop of self-doubt and stress. You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside, you’re drained.
That deep sense of being stuck, overwhelmed, or just emotionally tired is more common than you might think. And you don’t have to keep pushing through alone.
What If You Could Feel Clear, Calm, and Confident Again?
I’m Meredith McCarthy, a Clinical Hypnotherapist with over 30 years of experience. I’ve supported thousands of clients to gently shift what’s been holding them back often in less time than they expected.
Through hypnotherapy, we work with the subconscious mind where your beliefs, emotional patterns, and stress responses live. It’s a deeply empowering, calming process that helps you reset, release, and realign.
Many clients say they feel more like “themselves again” after just a few sessions.
Client Snapshot: From Stuck to Steady
“When I came to Meredith, I was burnt out, struggling to sleep, and questioning my career. I felt emotionally fried and couldn’t see a way out. After just two sessions, I felt calmer. By session four, I had boundaries at work, was sleeping better, and had a plan for change. I didn’t think I could feel this strong again.”

What Makes My Approach Different
I combine modern clinical hypnotherapy with coaching psychology, NLP, and a trauma-informed lens.
I also use the HELP System my original framework designed to guide subconscious healing and practical change. It’s a warm, non-judgemental approach that meets you exactly where you’re at.
Each session is tailored to you not scripted or one-size-fits-all.
What Happens in a Session?
Our first session is 90 minutes. We talk through what’s been happening, gently explore the emotional roots, and then use a guided hypnotherapy process to begin making change.
There’s no swinging watches or stage-tricks just a relaxing, empowering process that helps your nervous system settle and your inner mind shift into healing mode.
And no—you don’t lose control. You stay aware and in charge the entire time.

Worried You Can’t Be Hypnotised?
That’s a very common concern and it’s almost never true. Hypnosis is a natural state we all enter (like daydreaming or driving on autopilot). If you can focus, imagine, or get absorbed in thought you can benefit from hypnotherapy.
