IBS is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterised by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation. The cause of IBS is not entirely clear, but it is believed to be related to a variety of factors, one of which is thought to be stress and anxiety.

Hypnotherapy can be helpful for IBS for several reasons. First, it can help to reduce stress and anxiety levels, which are often associated with IBS symptoms, and it can can also help to improve gut function and reduce pain perception by working with the autonomic nervous system.

During my hypnotherapy sessions, I will guide you into a state of deep relaxation and suggest positive and calming thoughts and images related to your symptoms. This can help to reprogram the subconscious mind to respond differently to stress and anxiety triggers and reduce the severity and frequency of IBS symptoms.

Research has shown that hypnotherapy can be an effective treatment for IBS, with some studies reporting a significant reduction in symptoms in up to 80% of patients. If you are suffering from IBS and interested in exploring hypnotherapy as a treatment option.
