IBS can affect daily plans, confidence and wellbeing. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating or changes in bowel habits should be assessed with your GP, especially if they are new or changing.
David offers one-to-one online hypnotherapy to explore the stress and worry that can accompany living with IBS. Sessions sit alongside your medical care, rather than replacing diagnosis, dietary advice or treatment.
In a free 30-minute conversation, you can explain what has been difficult, ask how David works and decide whether sessions would be right for you. All consultations and sessions take place online.
IBS symptoms deserve medical assessment and an individual care plan. Your GP or specialist can advise on diagnosis, diet, medication and other options. David’s sessions are an additional way to explore the stress and worry that can accompany the condition.
NICE guidance includes hypnotherapy among psychological interventions that clinicians may consider for people whose IBS symptoms continue despite treatment. That guidance does not mean hypnotherapy suits everyone or replaces medical care.
In an online consultation, David will ask what you have been experiencing, how it affects everyday life and what you hope to change. He will explain his approach and whether he thinks it is appropriate for your situation before you decide whether to book sessions.
Sessions take place one to one online, so you can join from a private space. David may use guided relaxation, imagery or self-hypnosis exercises, depending on what you discuss together. He will explain any exercise before you try it and tailor the work to your concerns.
Your free 30-minute online consultation is a chance to ask what sessions involve, discuss any care you are already receiving and understand David’s approach. You can then decide whether you want to book further sessions.
If anxiety or poor sleep is also a concern, you may find David’s pages on anxiety and stress and sleep difficulties useful.
