Hypnotherapy near Wantage in Didcot
My name is Matthew, and I’ve been a full-time hypnotherapist for more than eighteen years.
I specialise in anxiety, stress, panic attacks, confidence, habits, addictions, emotional blocks, and unwanted behaviours.
Starting something new is always the hardest step, but by being here you’re already moving toward feeling better, thinking clearer, and regaining control.
Change doesn’t need to be difficult or take months — when the subconscious mind is aligned, progress can be surprisingly fast.
My approach combines:
- Cognitive Hypnotherapy – NCH (National Council for Hypnotherapy) ID Membership # 1084
- NLP
- Life Coaching
- EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
- Positive Psychology
- Mindset Training
I don’t use scripts — everything is tailored to you and the way your mind works.
Clients describe sessions as calm, supportive, practical, and surprisingly effective.
My goal is always simple: Help you achieve the results you want in the shortest time possible, working at the root of the issue to create long-lasting change.
I believe in a solution-focused approach, helping you recognise your strengths, shift old patterns, and build confidence from the inside out.
Why People Choose Me
People choose to work with me because my approach delivers fast, practical results, with clear improvements you can feel quickly. Sessions are comfortable and supportive, with no judgement — just calm, professional guidance.
I have extensive experience working with complex issues, having helped thousands of clients over many years. You’ll always have a clear plan, so you understand what we’re working on and why.
Appointments are flexible, with both online and in-person sessions available to suit your schedule.

Matthew’s hypnotherapy work works – I don’t know how it does but it does. I find myself being calmer, less stressed, less angry and more able to cope with situations where I would previously lost it. I can’t recommend him highly enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
How Sessions Work
The process is straightforward. You begin by getting in touch to book a session or ask any questions. In your first session, we talk through what’s been happening, what you want to change, and why your mind might be reacting the way it does. From there, I use tailored hypnotherapy and modern mindset techniques to help your mind respond differently and support healthier patterns.
As we continue, you’ll receive ongoing support, and most people notice improvements quickly. Sessions are always calm, structured, and focused on helping you move forward.
Appointment Times
I offer appointments 8am – 10pm, Monday to Friday, with weekend sessions available by arrangement.
For details on fees, availability, and how I work, please see the Appointments page or contact me directly.
Read what Erdem has to say about the Excel Practice: “I highly recommend Matthew’s services. He has helped me resolve my long-standing issues in just three sessions. I was able to quit smoking after a single hypnotherapy session in October 2018 and have not touched a cigarette since. Recently, he also assisted me in overcoming my caffeine addiction, which had been impacting my health for some time. After just two hypnotherapy sessions, I have been caffeine and coffee-free for a month. If you value your well-being, I encourage you to contact Matthew. He is an approachable and professional hypnotherapist who provides excellent services for a variety of issues.” – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I suffered daily anxiety attacks due to a bad episode in my life and it was ongoing for almost 2 years. I was skeptical first of hypnotherapy after trying medicines and different doctors. Dr. Matthew in just a few sessions have worked wonders and now I don’t experience breathlessness and anxiety. I get nervous but it’s normal for anyone.I am so relieved and wish to have found him sooner. Cannot recommend him enough for any kind of phobias, addictions or general anxiety. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
