Trauma isn’t just what happened; it’s how your nervous system is still forced to live now.
Hypnotherapy, used carefully, can reduce triggers, nightmares and anxiety, and help your body learn that “now” is not “then” – without forcing you to retell every detail.
We move at your pace, with consent and compassion at the centre.
Is the past still controlling your life?
Jumpy, on edge, scanning rooms and people
Flashbacks, intrusive memories or nightmares
Going numb or shutting down when things get too much
Struggling to trust, set boundaries or feel safe in relationships
Deep shame or self-blame, even though you “know” it wasn’t your fault
Avoiding places, situations or intimacy because of how your body reacts
How trauma-informed hypnosis can help ?
1. Creating a sense of safety first
We start by building internal and external resources so your system feels more grounded and less overwhelmed in the present before we go near traumatic material.
2. Calming survival responses
Hypnosis helps your body recognise when it’s actually safe enough now, so fight, flight, freeze or fawn are less constantly switched on.
3. Softening the grip of traumatic memories
Without re-living events, we can gently change how certain memories are stored and how much they dominate your present, giving you more emotional distance and choice.
4. Rebuilding self-worth and boundaries
We use hypnosis to support new beliefs (“I matter”, “I have a say”, “I’m allowed to protect myself”) and rehearse them in everyday situations
What Might Change for You?
Fewer and less intense triggers and flashbacks
Easier to stay present instead of dissociating or shutting down
Less shame and self-blame running your inner dialogue
More ability to say no, set boundaries and choose who is close to you
Feeling more like a whole person again, not “fragmented”or “in-parts”.
What to Expect in Sessions?
Go slowly, at your pace – you choose what to share and what to keep private, without reliving it.
Build resources first – grounding, internal safety, places and people that feel supportive.
Careful, focused hypnosis work – sometimes with specific memories or triggers, sometimes with body responses and beliefs, always with consent.
Check-ins and adjustments – regular reviews of how you’re coping between sessions, and collaboration with other providers if needed.

Ellen Bass, Author of Courage to Heal
“My trauma is no longer a headline in my life. You can not only heal but can thrive. But healing requires willingness to put yourself first and change. That sets in motion a force that brings a richness and depth to your life you never dreamed possible.”
Research
New uses of hypnosis in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. Hypnosis is emerging as a powerful medical treatment for pain, anxiety, PTSD and a range of other conditions:
Hypnotherapy, a therapeutic technique that employs guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention, has increasingly become a tool in the recovery and healing process of individuals affected by trauma.
With decades of data and new research supporting its effectiveness, practitioners are embracing hypnosis in treating trauma and many conditions.
Hypnotherapy is often combined with other trauma therapies and may be used during all stages of recovery.
There are compelling theoretical reasons and clinical observations to recommend the use of hypnosis as an adjunct treatment for PTSD. Hypnosis may accelerate the therapeutic relationship and positive treatment outcome.
Gentle & Effective Approach of Hypnosis:
Helps you to stay present and find safety in your body- an essential part of healing process.
Helps to heal the wounded child with compassion and respect they deserve.
Calms the Nervous System – Trauma keeps the body in fight-or-flight mode and mind anxious, overwhelmed. Hypnosis guides you into deep relaxation, allowing your mind and body to reset. Feel more grounded and at peace in daily life.
Heals Without Reliving Pain – Unlike some therapies, hypnosis helps you process emotions without re-experiencing past trauma—so healing feels safe and empowering.
Reprograms Emotional Triggers – Shift subconscious patterns of fear, guilt, or self-doubt into feelings of calm, confidence, and inner strength.
Instils self-care in a gentle way so you can demonstrate respect and love for the child you were, the adult you are now and the new person you are becoming.
Facilitates Let Go of Guilt, Shame & Fear – Release emotional burdens that no longer serve you.
Promotes deep & restful sleep, so you wake up feeling refreshed.
Rebuilds Confidence & Self-Worth, so you can trust and love yourself again and embrace life fully.
“I slowly learned to just have my feelings, without being hijacked by them. SafeSpace helped me to develop a more caring relationship with my body, myself.”

Our approach- ‘You’ are the centre of healing process.
We understand that trauma, abuse:
Is not just an event that took place sometime in the past. It is also the deep imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body and this imprint has ongoing consequences for how you manage to survive in the present.
It leaves one with the constant feeling of ‘I didn’t get to be who I could have been’.
Keeps you stuck in past, in constant survival mode, replaying old fears and limiting your potential.
Impacts every part of you, your relationships, perceptions, world-view…. your whole life.
If you’ve tried everything without much relief, if trauma has left you feeling disappointed, vulnerable, disconnected from yourself, Safe Space Clinical Hypnosis offers a gentle, nurturing way to release what no longer serves you—so you can finally feel safe, whole, worthwhile and lovable.
“Hypnosis was most widely practiced treatment for trauma from 1800s till WW2. It is making a comeback now.”
