Professional Hypnotherapy for Anxiety, Confidence & Addictions – Near Oxford
Struggling with anxiety, stress, confidence, or unwanted habits?
If your mind feels stuck in overdrive, you’re not broken — your subconscious is simply running outdated patterns. The good news? Those patterns can be changed safely, effectively, and often surprisingly quickly.
I provide professional hypnotherapy near Oxford from my practice in Didcot, helping people regain calm, confidence, and control without years of talk therapy. Clients travel from Oxford, Headington, Cowley and Littlemore for focused, results-driven sessions that work at the root of the problem — not just the surface symptoms.
With over 18 years’ experience, I specialise in helping people feel better fast, using a modern, practical approach that blends hypnotherapy with advanced mindset techniques.

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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 begin to notice meaningful improvements surprisingly quickly — often within the first few sessions.
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.
