IBS Management

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a condition where both therapy and hypnotherapy have been shown to help considerably. This is mainly due to the fact that the gut and brain are closely connected through the gut-brain axis.  Hypnosis can help regulate how the brain and gut communicate, reducing abnormal contractions and sensitivity in the intestines.

Research shows hypnotherapy can reduce abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation in many IBS patients—even when medications haven’t helped. I will help to directly calm gut activity through guided imagery and suggestions which can ease tension in the gut and nervous system.

​

Clients report not only fewer symptoms, but also greater confidence in managing them. I can also help to reduce stress and anxiety that may be worsening your IBS symptoms, showing you how to manage the stress and emotional triggers that can set off flare-ups. Together, we will also work to change unhelpful thought patterns and improve coping strategies.
