Questions
How is this different from an app like Nerva or Zemedy?
Those apps use the same recorded sessions for every user, on a fixed schedule, whatever’s actually going on for you individually. If one didn’t move things for you, that’s not a sign gut-directed hypnotherapy doesn’t work — the evidence for it is solid. It’s that a recording can’t adapt to your specific pattern, and there’s no one on the other end when something’s actually happening. That’s the part weekly sessions with me can do that an app can’t.
Do I need to change my diet?
No. The programme doesn’t ask you to restrict anything further. As gut sensitivity eases, most people find they can tolerate more, not less.
What if I’ve tried hypnotherapy before and it didn’t work?
It’s worth asking what protocol was used and whether it was IBS-specific. Generic relaxation hypnotherapy and gut-directed hypnotherapy aren’t the same thing, and the difference in results can be significant.
Is it safe alongside my current treatment or medication?
Yes. This works alongside medication and dietary approaches. Always discuss any medication changes with your doctor rather than stopping anything on your own.
How do sessions work?
Everything runs online via video call, so you can do this from wherever you are without travel or waiting rooms.
Can you guarantee it’ll work?
No, and I’d be wary of anyone who tells you they can. What I can tell you is gut-directed hypnotherapy has more evidence behind it than most approaches to IBS, including NICE’s own guidance, and in my experience the people who see real change are the ones the work gets tailored to specifically, not run through a generic script.
What if my tests have all come back normal?
That’s the most common starting point, not an unusual one. A normal test doesn’t mean nothing’s wrong — it means the problem isn’t in the structure of your gut, it’s in how your gut and your nervous system are communicating with each other. That’s exactly what this programme addresses.
No pressure — just an honest conversation about whether this is the right fit.
