About Mind Over Matter Hypnotherapy

My dream has always been to work in a career where I could help people professionally on a therapeutic level. After experiencing the benefits of hypnotherapy firsthand for my own confidence issues, I decided to study and become a fully qualified hypnotherapist.

I am a registrant of the National Hypnotherapy Society and fully insured. I continue to study all areas relating to hypnotherapy and psychology to further gain knowledge to help people overcome their issues.

Through relaxation of the body and mind, hypnotherapy communicates with your subconscious mind making positive suggestions to change the way you view, think and feel about certain events or situations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hypnotherapy involves taking the client into a state of deep relaxation, to make positive changes, via the subconscious mind to resolve issues that are affecting their day to day living. Qualified hypnotherapists are bound to a strict code of conduct and ethical rules. Stage hypnosis is used for entertainment purposes and uses completely different techniques. A stage hypnotist will only pick people that are highly susceptible to hypnosis.

Yes the client is always in full control over what he/she says and does. As a hypnotherapist, I cannot make you do or say anything that you do not want to. No, I cannot make you cluck like a chicken around the room!

No, despite popular belief that you go into a deep sleep during hypnosis, you are actually awake and fully conscious the whole time. Hypnotherapy uses relaxation skills so you feel deeply relaxed during a session.

This varies from person to person, depending on the complexity of the issue you are seeking treatment for. However, mild issues can usually be resolved within 4-6 sessions.

All sessions last one hour, except for smoking cessation which are 2 hour block sessions.

Hypnotherapy can be very successful, although there are no guarantees as it is dependent on a number of certain factors such as a good rapport between the therapist and the client, the complexity of the problem they seek help for and the commitment and willingness to change on the client's part.

What Clients Say

"I would definitely recommend Paula - Mind over Matter Hypnotherapy (based in Benfleet) for her knowledge and professionalism within the bounds of Sweet Aversion Hypnotherapy. I was hesitant at first as I've always had a sweet tooth but knew I needed to tackle this and overhaul my lifestyle. After one hypnotherapy session with Paula I have not craved or eaten my favourite sweet foods (biscuits, chocolate and cakes) since the beginning of June. I know it's early days but I have surprised myself as how easily I have adapted to new eating plans. I not only feel healthier but have lost 10lbs in weight. I'm seriously thinking about booking further sessions with Paula to address another bad habit of being a hoarder!"

Micky S. Sweet Aversion Therapy

"After just a few sessions, I felt more in control of my anxiety than ever before. The techniques I learned have been invaluable in my daily life. Highly recommended!"

Sarah L. Anxiety Management

"I quit smoking after 20 years thanks to Mind Over Matter. The process was supportive and empowering. It's been six months now and I haven't looked back!"

David P. Smoking Cessation

"It's been life changing since having therapy with Paula at Mind Over Matter, I cannot recommend her enough!! It's only 4 days since my treatment for emotional eating and I haven't wanted sugary foods at all. I haven't needed sugar in my tea, I'm craving only healthy foods and I'm only eating when I really need to. I feel so positive about myself and my habits going forward and I'm confident about finally changing my lifestyle and getting back to my ideal weight. I've already lost a couple lbs and it's staying off rather than fluctuating back up. Whenever I have any habitual thoughts come into my head, they very quickly leave my mind, and so, I'm not contemplating or convincing myself that I need a chocolate fix or something unhealthy to get me through the day. This therapy has really worked for me and I'm so grateful to Paula for changing my life!! Thank you!!"

Sarah C. Emotional Eating

"I saw Mind over Matter for hypnotherapy about a month ago now and I cannot believe the difference it has made to my life. At the time of going, I was constantly overthinking things and couldn't switch off. I wanted change but was too impatient to wait for it. Since seeing Paula I have a clearer head and know that the changes I want will happen, just not right now. I'll definitely be back to tackle other areas! I was completely on the fence about hypnotherapy, but I'm converted. Thank you Paula x"

Louise Overthinking

"I would definitely recommend Paula to friends and family"
