Hypnotherapy Windsor near Reading
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.

Only one session so far but I can honestly say I can ‘feel’ a difference already. I couldn’t begin to explain how it works, but it does. Matthew is a really nice guy and has a knack of making you feel at ease immediately. I highly recommend The Excel Practice, and am looking forward to the next session. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.

Very easy going professional with a very friendly approach. I was quite sceptical at first but with each session I found myself solving issues I didn’t even realised I had and that needed to be solved. Very thankful and definitely recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Completely! You remain aware, in control, and relaxed throughout.

Vanessa Munday for Stopping Smoking – 6 Aug 2024
I had been trying unsuccessfully for 8 months to quit smoking since starting again during lockdown. I was recommended Matthew by a friend who’d successfully quit after seeing Matthew. I saw Matthew at the start of July 2024. He was very nice, the session felt very informal, relaxed and I was totally conscious of my environment the whole time. I’ve not touched or craved a cigarette since I walked out of the first session. Best money ever spent! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
