Hope Hypnotherapy

“Hope is one of life’s greatest treasures”

Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Vix Knowler and I am a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Registered Nurse of 25 years.

I love being able to support clients in the process of empowerment and enhancement of their psychological and physical wellbeing through the application of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.

I support a variety of problems associated with stress and anxiety including:

  • Anger
  • Pain
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Lack of Motivation
  • Lack of Confidence
  • Low Self Esteem
  • Sleep Difficulties
  • Fears and Phobias
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Obsessional Compulsive Disorder
  • Habitual Behaviours

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a collaborative and modern approach to talking therapy that encompasses the power of hypnosis, evidenced based neuroscience and recognised techniques from a variety of other therapeutic methodologies such as Cognitive-Behavioural-Therapy (CBT) and Neuro- Linguistic Programming (NLP).

Understanding how the brain works and the neuroscience behind how we often respond and react in certain ways and how we suffer with problems and symptomology enables clients to understand the reasoning and can equip clients with lifelong tools to ensure a more positive outlook on life and enhance their futures positively.

The sessions are interactive and during the talking therapy section of the session the client is empowered to visualise their best hopes and aspirations for their preferred future. Hypnosis is then used to consolidate those positive suggestions and goals – promoting motivation to seek the life the client so desires.

Insomnia

My 11 year old daughter has always suffered with sleep issues from not being able to get to sleep to waking for long periods several times in the night and being very distressed by this. It has had a huge impact on our family life as it was affecting all of us. I’d visited the doctor in tears about this but he couldn’t suggest anything to help and just said she would grow out of it. I spoke to Vix who suggested we try hypnotherapy I wasn’t sure if it would work or if Matilda would respond and be willing... Read All

My 11 year old daughter has always suffered with sleep issues from not being able to get to sleep to waking for long periods several times in the night and being very distressed by this. It has had a huge impact on our family life as it was affecting all of us. I’d visited the doctor in tears about this but he couldn’t suggest anything to help and just said she would grow out of it. I spoke to Vix who suggested we try hypnotherapy I wasn’t sure if it would work or if Matilda would respond and be willing to give it a go, but thought it was worth a try. The sessions have been done over video call. Vix has an amazing way with Matilda she had her in giggles straight away, putting her at ease. Matilda really responded to Vix and the way she spoke after explaining how everything worked the sessions began, I did the first session with Matilda but now Matilda does her sessions alone (that’s how comfortable she is with Vix) Matilda is keen to do the sessions every week and enjoys the session, she says it helps her feel relaxed and calm and knows it’s helping her. We are now on session 6 and Matilda is sleeping through the night and is so much more relaxed going to bed the change has been amazing, the whole house has been so much happier. I cannot express how much Vix has helped Matilda and given her confidence to believe she can overcome her worries around sleep. I would 100% recommend Hope Hypnotherapy to anyone - give it a go you will be delighted with the results.

PTSD

My wonderful sessions with Hope Hypnotherapy have had a noticeable impact on my life. I have PTSD so was nervous about starting the sessions. Vix made me feel comfortable, explaining the process and making me feel safe. After several sessions I am now able to go the supermarket without any anxiety at all. This is something I had not done for as long as I can remember! I am feeling more grounded, more confident and much happier. I honestly can not recommend Hope Hypnotherapy enough.

Confidence

I am a woman of 74 years and since my sessions with the wonderful Vix and her Hope Hypnotherapy sessions I am a different person. All my life since school days I have never ever had any confidence in myself, always worried about saying and doing things wrong. I have never read a book, my mind would say you have too much to do elsewhere and could never feel relaxed at all. As for sleeping that was very bad, my brain could not shut off to get a good nights sleep. Now I am such a different person happy and... Read All

I have never read a book, my mind would say you have too much to do elsewhere and could never feel relaxed at all. As for sleeping that was very bad, my brain could not shut off to get a good nights sleep. Now I am such a different person happy and contented and more confident. These sessions have given me a new life. I sleep much better, and I am finally able to relax. I have read a book and on to my second book. I now tell my brain you are not telling me I cannot do it!

Positive thinking

I have been taking weekly sessions with Hope Hypnotherapy for 4 months and have had a change in perspective. I think, act and interact more positively and can adjust when I begin to think negatively. I understand the way Vic explains the reasons behind the negativity and can apply the strategies which we discuss. I listen to the recordings 2-3 times a week and can definitely see a difference in myself and also how I interact with others around me. The sessions are friendly and fun and something to look forward to.

Anxiety

I decided to try hypnotherapy after struggling with anxiety and panic issues for many years. I saw the good online reviews for Hope Hypnotherapy and decided to contact Vix. She's been fantastic and is a really genuine person who wants to help. She went above and beyond my expectations and I felt at ease throughout my sessions. A mixture of hypnotherapy and education on how the mind works has turned an overwhelming problem into a much more manageable and improving situation.

Self Esteem

Just wanted to say thank you again! So many people have commented on my new glow! I feel happier and my anxiety is easing. When I first contacted you I was unsure about what to expect. You immediately put me at ease, taking time to explain everything. It’s given a whole new way of how to think and how to look at life. Acceptance that I can do things for myself as well. It has been truly life changing. You are an amazing person.

Anxiety

I first came to Vix after experiencing some difficulties. I did not know what to expect with hypnotherapy, but was very open to the idea. We started with a consultation that was arranged days after making initial contact where Vix explained the process and some of the science. Immediately I felt more positive. Several weekly sessions later, I am in a much better place and was able to enjoy a wonderful wedding day. Vix was amazing throughout the process, such a kind and caring person who just from knowing her brings calm and positivity to my life. If you are... Read All

If you are reading this review it because you are interested in hypnotherapy or are searching for some help. In either instance I can’t recommend Vix highly enough. The first step is to reach out and make contact.
