Stop coping with your symptoms. Start living your life.

I’m Helen Wyer and I help people find freedom from anxiety, IBS symptoms, fears & phobias and experience calmness, confidence and trust in themselves to live life to the full.

Hypnotherapy sessions in person in Ipswich or online over Zoom in the comfort of your own home.

Anxiety, fears and IBS don’t just affect your body, they shrink your world. When your nervous system is on high alert, your body pays the price. Whether it’s the fear of a panic attack, the constant scanning for danger, or always looking out for the nearest bathroom, we can change this together and get you to a place where you feel calm and in control. If you’re tired of just coping and living around your symptoms, let’s change your response to these things and build your confidence. Over five structured sessions, we dissolve the fears and triggers that have kept you stuck and help you find a sense of peace, confidence and calm.

Here's what changes when we work together

Reclaim your freedom

Stop organising your life around symptoms and start living it on your own terms

Feel calm in situations that used to trigger you

Without white-knuckling your way through them

Break the cycle of anxiety

Rather than just managing it day to day

Stop scanning for danger

And start trusting your body and mind again

Leave the bathroom anxiety behind

And go places, say yes, and stop planning your life around IBS

Build genuine confidence

Not a mask, but a felt sense of being okay in yourself

See results in just five sessions

A clear, structured process so you’re not in therapy indefinitely

Work from wherever suits you

In person in Ipswich or online from your own sofa

Get your world back

Wider, fuller, and no longer shrunk by fear

Following knee replacement surgery, I began to have trouble sleeping when I came home. This resulted in me suffering from insomnia and I had very little sleep for 2 ½ months, an average of around 1 to 2 hours a day (and that was broken sleep). I had never experienced anything like it before and I was in a very bad way. A friend of my wife who had also suffered from insomnia recommended Hypnotherapy. After searching on the internet for a local hypnotherapist, I found Helen’s website and I made contact with her. From our initial conversation I found her very easy to talk to and we scheduled an initial consultation. From the outset we agreed on 5 separate sessions and on the second session she asked me how my sleep was. At that point it was pretty much the same, which she acknowledged by saying it takes time for the therapy to work. About 4 days after the second visit I suddenly started to sleep well and through the night. I had followed her instructions and not made any significant changes but suddenly my sleep started to go back to normal. I have even slept during the recent extreme heat, I was amazed at the change, I couldn’t quite believe it. When I saw Helen for the third time I told her of the changes, I said I hadn’t really done anything particularly different, but she just smiled and said that’s how the therapy helps people. I have now finished all of my 5 sessions with Helen and I am still sleeping well and I can not thank her enough for helping me. She is very patient and has a way of making you feel very calm and relaxed for the time you spend with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help for whatever challenges you have.

Helen is a really lovely individual who is passionate and very good at what she does. At first i was apprehensive but I'm so glad that i committed. The hypnotherapy Helen provided really helped me to let go of a lot of mental baggage and has helped me to move forward in life to a much better place. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with issues relating to the mind.

I cannot recommend Helen highly enough. After experiencing a panic attack in a lake during a triathlon, I developed a lot of anxiety around racing and struggled with pre-race nerves. Helen helped me understand that I needed to “rewire” my brain, to learn how to stay calm, trust myself and truly believe that I was capable. She gave me a mantra to use, and I have continued using it for the past two years. Looking back now, I have realised just how much has changed. The anxiety that once felt so overwhelming has genuinely gone, and I now approach races with a completely different mindset. I cannot thank Helen enough for giving me the tools to manage those nerves, regain my confidence and enjoy racing again. What she taught me has stayed with me long after our sessions, and I am incredibly grateful for the difference she has made.

I’ve struggled with anxiety and low self‑worth for years. I tried everything — meditation, yoga, massage, talking therapies — but nothing really stopped my anxious brain from running the show. Reaching out to Helen changed that. From my first email, she was supportive, clear, and genuinely encouraging. After speaking with her, I knew her calm voice would be perfect for hypnosis. The sessions have been a game‑changer. I’m more confident, calmer, and that horrible inner voice is finally quiet. Life feels lighter and I’m moving forward. What I loved most is you don’t have to relive every detail of your past. You just acknowledge the memories privately, and the work still happens. Helen supports you outside the sessions too, with techniques you can use every day. If you’re struggling and feeling nervous about reaching out… Just do it.

I cannot recommend Helen highly enough. She has been absolutely amazing with my teenage son and, after just five Zoom sessions, has quite literally helped turn his life around. My son had been suffering from crippling sickness when travelling by air and early in the morning. We knew it wasn’t typical travel sickness or obvious anxiety, and we suspected it may have stemmed from being unwell while travelling when he was younger. After drawing a blank with medication and our GP, we decided to try a different approach and came across hypnotherapy. I contacted Helen and she was immediately responsive, taking the time to answer all my questions and explain the process clearly. She also made it very clear that it wasn’t simply about attending the sessions — it needed commitment from my son too, and he needed to be open to the process and willing to engage with it. From the very first session, my son was incredibly positive about it. He genuinely enjoyed speaking with Helen and found her kind, supportive and easy to talk to. He had his fifth session the night before our holiday, and I have to admit I was quite nervous the following morning. But I absolutely needn’t have been. The difference was unbelievable. There was no sickness at all! Instead, he was able to enjoy the excitement of the airport and the journey, and actually look forward to travelling. I was completely blown away by the change in him. I expect he may have the odd top-up session in the future, but this has genuinely changed his life. That might sound dramatic, but it is absolutely true. He can now enjoy holidays and school trips without the embarrassment or fear of becoming ill and feeling dreadful, hanging over him. My only regret is that I didn’t consider hypnotherapy sooner. It has honestly felt like magic, and I will be forever grateful to Helen for the care, support, understanding and help she has given my son.

Helen is excellent. I had five sessions and they were carefully and thoughtfully structured in such a way that I felt improvements from the first visit but each subsequent visit builds on groundwork that is done from the outset. Helen also provides a toolbox that ensures the lessons learnt in her sessions can be taken away with you. That doesn't necessarily mean that I will not go back - she uses the analogy of a car being serviced, I will certainly return for occasional servicing, but to continue the analogy I can deal with the tyres and water in between times. Simply knowing I have these tools increases my confidence ahead of difficult events. Before I started I was concerned that it was expensive, and I will say it is not cheap, but it very much worth it and in Helen you do get value for money, not just in the quality of her work but there is no clock watching and no feeling of being rushed. When all is said and done, the question is how mush is your health worth to you?

Looking back, I realise that one of the hardest steps to take is admitting that we need help. Many of us try to deal with our worries and challenges on our own, convincing ourselves that we should be able to manage everything without support. Sometimes we don't want to acknowledge the things that are holding us back, whether it's a lack of confidence, anxiety, worries about work, or other personal struggles. I've come to realise that admitting you're struggling with something and seeking help can actually be far braver than facing it alone. Working with Helen has helped me immensely. From our first session, she made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and completely at ease. We spoke about many different aspects of life, our experiences, our habits, and how we can grow into better versions of ourselves. Over time, I noticed real improvements in my confidence, my ability to manage worries and anxiety, and the way I approached challenges at work and dealt with stress overall. The daily concerns that once felt overwhelming became much more manageable. I am incredibly grateful for Helen's support and insight. If you're struggling with something and wondering whether to reach out for help, I would encourage you to take that step. Working with Helen has been a genuinely positive experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life.

I came here with a terrible fear of dogs that stopped me from completing various activities and it was really disrupting my life. Even after the first there was a big difference in how I felt in myself and how I thought. Now after 5 sessions I am noticeably way more confident around dogs and I can now say that I no longer have a fear of dogs

I went to Helen when I didn't know where else to go and thank goodness I did, I still can't quite explain what exactly she does but what she does works. I went to her feeling a shell of who I now am, she doesn't "fix" you, she gives you the tools to fix yourself and has such a lovely,kind, gentle way. If anyone is struggling with life I would highly recommend Helen. Thank you 😊
