Hypnotherapy Clinic of the Year – Cambridgeshire

I’m delighted to let you know that I have been awarded the presitgious accolade of Hypnotherapy Clinic of the Year for Cambridgeshire. This follows closely on from my recent success at the SME Cambridgeshire Business Awards where I won silver for Ely Business of the Year.

If that wasn’t enough I’ve also recently been announced as having won the award for Best Full-Service Hypnotherapy Treatments 2025 (Cambridgeshire) in the SME UK Enterprise Awards. I think it’s fair to say that these multiple awards, along with the various others I’ve won over the year, continue to cement my place as the leading hypnotherapy service in Ely and Newmarket (along with the the evidence from the hundreds and hundreds of positive reviews that you can find on this website).

Thanks so much for your ongoing support, it means everything!

Six Ways Hypnosis Can Help You

by Dan Regan | May 2, 2025 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Six Ways Hypnosis Can Help You

Today I’m covering six ways that hypnosis can help you.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can help you to improve your health and well-being. Rather than being stuck with anxiety, stress and unwanted habits, you can use your focus, imagination and other psychological processes to make constructive changes. Instead of feeling powerless and being controlled by your own thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions, hypnotherapy can help you to make changes and feel better in yourself.

We are all creatures of habit, pattern and repetition. That means that you can get stuck in a repeating cycle of doing things in the same way and getting the same (unwanted) results. Hypnotherapy can help you to change those patterns so that you take back control over your own thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions.

Research, and the many reviews on this website, demonstrate how effective hypnotherapy can be with issues such as weight management, sleep problems, stress and anxiety, pain management, quitting smoking and alleviating IBS symptoms.

If you could use some help to change how things are for you now, and to start feeling calm, confident, healthy and happy, then do get in touch and ask to book your free initial consultation.

Does Hypnosis Work For IBS?

Does Hypnosis Work For IBS?

Does hypnosis work for IBS?

IBS can cause stomach pains and cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation. And all of these come with discomfort, pain and stress. You may not ever be quite sure when it will strike and so you’ve probably developed routines and habits that seem to help most of the time. There are certain foods you’ll avoid, or maybe you just don’t eat if you are going out. You may need to factor in plenty of extra time for the toilet before you leave the house. You may feel anxious going somewhere new if you aren’t sure where the toilets are. And you may worry about your IBS striking whilst out with others.

One of the most frustrating things about your IBS is that no one can tell you why it started or how to eradicate it. You may worry that perhaps it is something more serious that hasn’t been picked up by the doctors yet. Stress and anxiety make it all worse but it’s hard to avoid feeling on edge if you know you may end up in a ball of pain or needing to run to the toilet.

Your bowel movements and stomach issues can be debilitating and they can start to rule your life.

Whilst there is no specific test to diagnose IBS and no specific treatment for it, it is possible to experience more calmness, relief and control over your stomach. There is a whole wealth of evidence and research that demonstrates that hypnosis can work for IBS to help you manage it and feel better in yourself.

Narcissistic Abuse Stages

by Dan Regan | Apr 23, 2025 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

The 5 Stages of Narcissistic Abuse: Understanding the Cycle

Have you suffered at the hands of narcissistic abuse?

If you have been in a relationship with a narcissist that has come to an end then you will know it because of the painful way it will have unfolded. You’ll have been discarded, tossed aside and subject to emotional and psychological abuse along the way. Even before you are discarded, the narcissist will have been playing the victim behind your back, recruiting their supporters and laying their plans to exert even more power and control over you.

There is no simple way to put it, narcissistic abuse is painful and abusive. You will be on the back foot and confused by what is happening. Your good name will be dragged through the mud by those who buy into their false accusations and stories of how you were the problem. Narcissists prey upon kind, caring and empathetic people because those very qualities mean you won’t see the abuse that is happening to you. You may not even spot how they devalued you and controlled you during the relationship. Only when it is over will you realise you have lost your sense of worth and your identity. The narcissist was only ever interested in having power and control over you.

Just when you need to be at your strongest, you realise they have stolen your own sense of who you are. You are left broken, confused and alone. The narcissist will have already isolated you from some, if not all, of those you were once close to. And many of the rest will buy into the victim story that they are being convincingly fed. It may be a quick process, or you may find that they have been spreading their lies about you for weeks, months or even years before you first know anything about it.

If you’ve ever felt like a relationship started like a fairy tale and ended in emotional chaos, you’re not alone. Narcissistic abuse follows a pattern. It’s a cycle that leaves you confused, heartbroken, and wondering how things went so wrong. Understanding the stages of narcissistic abuse can help you make sense of what happened. It won’t change what has happened, especially as the narcissist lacks any personal insight and they think they have no need to change anything about themselves (in their story you are, and always were, the problem). However, knowledge can help you to start healing and to move on from the abuse you have endured.

Ely Standard Columnist – Hypnotherapist Dan Regan

Ely Standard Columnist – Hypnotherapist Dan Regan

I’m delighted to confirm that I am now an Ely Standard columnist!

My first article has now been published in the Standard and I’ve included the link to the online version for you below. Do have a read and let me know what you think.

I’ll be back in the paper again next month with a new column.

In the article I cover the mental health benefits of time in nature. There is a whole wealth of research and evidence that shows that spending time in nature can help boost mental health and reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. Even better, the positive benefits don’t actually require too much time or effort to achieve.

Here in Ely, we are blessed to have a lot of nature to enjoy that is easily on hand. I love walking and running along the river, or sitting in the sun and just watching the river roll on by. Wherever you are there is bound to be some nature nearby that you can call upon to support your mental health.

Is Hypnotherapy Right For You?

by Dan Regan | Apr 2, 2025 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Is Hypnotherapy Right For You?

Hypnotherapy, is it right for you? If you’ve never experienced hypnotherapy before then you may wonder whether it is right for you. There are all sorts of outdated misapprehensions and ideas that go around about hypnosis. You may have an idea of being controlled, revealing secrets or that it is not based upon science.

All of these are, of course, untrue. Hypnosis is all about changing the habits and patterns that you are currently battling with. It could be anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem, stress or overthinking. Right now, those thoughts, feelings and behaviours just repeat and repeat. They may ease for a while but they are soon back in force. It can feel frustrating to know what you need to change but to struggle with making it happen so that you feel better.

In essence, I would describe hypnotherapy as being all about how you can learn to take back control over the things that go on inside of your head. Rather than being thrown through life from one negative thought and feeling to the next, you take back control. You get to start feeling calmer, more confident and happier.

And there is lots of science and evidence to support the benefits of hypnosis for help with things like anxiety. I covered a lot of the research in these website articles. You may also have taken a look at the hundreds of positive reviews that others have left after their hypnotherapy sessions. Many of these people started out with scepticism and uncertainty, yet they ended feeling better in themselves.

Naturally, you want to make sure that you feel comfortable with the hypnotherapist you are going to be working with. That’s why I always suggest that you come for a free consultation before going ahead with sessions. This gives me a chance to learn a bit more about what you are seeking help with, and I will explain how I work and how I can help you. I also answer any questions you may have so that we both have an agreed clear understanding of how we will move things forward towards getting you a beneficial outcome.

Can Anyone Be Hypnotised? Hypnotherapy Ely and Newmarket

by Dan Regan | Mar 6, 2025 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Can Anyone Be Hypnotised? Hypnotherapy Ely and Newmarket

Can anyone be hypnotised? During a free consultation that I have with someone before they start hypnotherapy, this is one of the most common questions that I get. After all, if you are going to enjoy the positive results of hypnotherapy, you want to know that you can be hypnotised so that you benefit form your sessions.

And I think that this idea, that only some people are ‘susceptible’ to hypnosis, comes mainly from stage shows and film depictions of hypnosis. In these, people seem to slump with their eyes closed into some altered state of consciousness that they later have no recollection about. They then do whatever they are told to do, which is often fantastical. The first thing I say to clients is to dismiss anything they’ve seen or heard from these environments out of their mind.

We are all suggestible to some degree. You stop at a red light, you do what your manager tells you, you hear your phone beep and you pick it up to take a look. In every interaction, conversation and relationship we all have cues and suggestions that we respond to. With hypnosis, you are just learning how to suggest certain things around your own thoughts and feelings to yourself in beneficial ways. You are taking back control over the things that go on inside of your own mind.

When you come to see me there is some aspect of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours that you are currently struggling with. Whether it is anxiety, stress, panic attacks, lack of confidence, eating habits or smoking, you don’t feel in control over that part of your life. Hypnotherapy helps you to master your own inner dialogue, imagination, motivations, expectations, emotions and behaviours so that you move forward feeling better and better equipped to successfully tackle the trials and tribulations that life will throw at you and so that you can progress with positivity towards being the best version of you.
