ABOUT IBS
If you’re living with IBS, you know how unpredictable, painful and disruptive it can be. Abdominal pain, bloating, urgent bathroom trips, irregular bowel habits, and anxiety around flare-ups can all affect your confidence, routines, social life and wellbeing.
But what if you could calm the discomfort and reduce the anxiety that often makes IBS worse?
Hypnotherapy for IBS is a clinically recognised, evidence-based approach that works with the gut–brain connection. From my practice in Stockport, I support clients across Stockport, Cheshire and Manchester using gut directed hypnotherapy to ease symptoms in a gentle, effective way — without medication or restrictive diets.
IBS isn’t just about the digestive system — it’s deeply connected to the nervous system and the mind.
Stress, anxiety and negative thought patterns can trigger or worsen flare-ups.
This is where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and gut directed hypnotherapy work together to:
Reduce stress and anxiety, two major IBS triggers
Calm the gut-brain axis
Ease physical symptoms like bloating, cramps and irregular bowel movements
Improve confidence and control over your daily life
Break the cycle of fear, worry and symptom-focused thinking
Many people with IBS get stuck in a loop of worrying about symptoms, which heightens stress and makes symptoms worse.
Hypnotherapy for IBS interrupts that cycle and replaces it with calmer, more confident thinking.
Gut directed hypnotherapy has been clinically researched and is even recommended by both NHS and NICE as an effective IBS treatment when other methods have failed.
Using gentle relaxation techniques and Solution Focused conversation, sessions guide you into a deeply relaxed, focused state where your mind becomes more open to positive change. Over time, this helps retrain the brain’s response to gut sensations — reducing discomfort and restoring resilience.
You remain fully in control at all times.
While not a cure, gut-directed hypnotherapy is highly effective in reducing symptoms and improving overall quality of life.
