Hypnotherapy for Pain Relief Nottingham
Persistent pain can feel like a constant companion that refuses to leave, impacting every aspect of your life. Whether it’s a dull ache, a sharp sting, or a feeling that’s hard to describe, living with ongoing pain can affect your physical health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. But understanding what’s happening can be the first step toward finding relief.
What causes persistent pain?
Persistent pain often stems from a variety of causes including:
- Injuries or accidents as even after the body heals, the nervous system may remain overly sensitive, continuing to send pain signals
- Chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or migraines can lead to long-term discomfort
- Stress and anxiety can amplify pain signals and create a vicious cycle of tension and discomfort
- Unknown origins as sometimes, persistent pain, exists with a clear medical explanation or cause which can make it even more frustrating to deal with.
It’s important to know that chronic and persistent pain is not "all in your head." It’s a complex interaction between the body and mind, where past injuries, emotional stress, and lifestyle factors all play a role.
Symptoms of persistent pain
Living with chronic and persistent pain often means more than just physical discomfort. It can also affect your emotional and mental well-being. Symptoms may include:
- Continuous or intermittent pain in one or more areas of your body
- Fatigue or disturbed sleep, leaving you feeling tired and drained
- Mood changes such as feelings of frustration, irritability, anxiety, low mood or depression
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering things (sometimes called “fibro fog”)
- Reduced ability to carry out daily activities or hobbies you once enjoyed.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and there is hope for relief.
How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, based on neuroscience, helps you to understand how your brains work and how they can get us stuck sometimes. Rather than dwelling on the pain or its causes, we take into account the powerful connection between your mind and body and work together to create positive changes that can help you take back control of your life.
A collaborative approach that combines talking therapy with a deep state of relaxation called hypnosis. Together, we’ll identify small, manageable steps to shift your focus away from the pain and towards a more positive outlook, reducing the intensity of your symptoms and improving your quality of life.
By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state you are then able to quieten, calm and relax your conscious mind and focus on thoughts and positive suggestion, enabling your brain to create new, healthier neural pathways. Rewiring your pain pathways to help diminish the intensity and frequency of pain signals. As stress can intensify pain, by calming your mind and body you are able to lower stress hormones and reduce tension, which can help to break the cycle of pain and stress.
Building on your strengths and successes we’ll encourage and empower you to develop more positive tools, techniques and strategies to manage your pain, build resilience, and feel more in control of your life.

A transformative impact on my life
Where do I begin? I never realised how much I needed Katies support until I had the privilege of working with her. Her calm and reassuring approach immediately put me at ease. Each session was a safe space where I felt truly heard, understood, and supported.

I can't recommend this service enough
When I began hypnotherapy with Katie I was mildly sceptical and unsure of what to expect, but I noticed an improvement in my mood after even the first session. After 8 weeks I was and am totally convinced this is a lifechanging experience & practice.

A new way to approach daily life
Katie has been a huge help in giving me tools to use and a new way to approach daily life. I have had therapy in the past but this was so different - it was refreshing to not look back and drag up the past but to focus on the future.

Life changing for me
Hypnotherapy with Katie has been life changing for me and I say this as a person suffering with ME/CFS, FND and chronic migraine to the point where I was bedridden for most of 2024. The toolkit Katie instilled in me during our time has enabled me to have a quality of life that I never thought possible.
Kelly
Empowering
I can honestly say that working with Katie has been life-changing. The impact of the sessions has been profound. I no longer find myself stuck in procrastination, something I’ve struggled with for years. I now feel so much more capable of dealing with stress and difficult situations when they come up.
