Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy

Supporting the Gut-Brain Connection

Living with IBS can affect far more than digestion.

Many people begin avoiding situations, worrying about symptoms, changing routines and becoming increasingly vigilant to sensations within the body. Over time, these understandable responses can contribute to a cycle that maintains distress.

Gut-directed hypnotherapy is an evidence-informed approach that combines clinical hypnosis with psychological strategies to help reduce symptom-related anxiety, support nervous system regulation and improve confidence in daily life.

Sessions are individually tailored and may include:

  • understanding the gut-brain connection

  • reducing symptom-focused anxiety

  • addressing avoidance behaviours

  • cognitive and behavioural strategies

  • gut-directed hypnosis

  • self-hypnosis between sessions
