About Neil Robert — Certified Hypnotherapist
Professional online hypnotherapy rooted in evidence, delivered with warmth — serving UK and US clients worldwide via video session.
My Approach
My practice is built on three principles: gentleness, collaboration, and honest expectation-setting. I do not believe in dramatic claims or instant fixes. What I do believe — and what my clients consistently experience — is that when someone is genuinely ready to change, hypnotherapy can be a remarkably effective tool for helping that change happen at a deeper level than conscious effort alone can reach.
I specialise in anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties because these are the areas where I have seen the most consistent and meaningful results. Modern life creates conditions that are almost designed to produce anxiety — the constant connectivity, the comparison culture, the relentless pace. I work with clients to understand exactly what is driving their particular experience, and to build a genuinely personalised response to it.
I take continuing professional development seriously and am committed to staying current with the broader evidence base for psychological wellbeing. My approach draws on cognitive hypnotherapy, solution-focused techniques, and current understanding of the neuroscience of habit and emotional regulation.

Why I Became a Hypnotherapist
My route into hypnotherapy was not straightforward, but it was deliberate. After experiencing first-hand how persistent anxiety can resist conventional approaches and yet respond remarkably well to hypnotherapy, I became deeply curious about the mechanisms behind that change. I trained rigorously, supervised extensively, and over time built a practice that I am genuinely proud of — one where clients are treated as intelligent adults who deserve honest, thoughtful, and effective care. My goal in every session is simply to help the person in front of me make the change they came to make.
What My Clients Say
“I'd struggled with anxiety for years and tried everything. After just four sessions with Neil I felt like a different person — calmer, more grounded, and actually able to enjoy my life again.”
Sarah, Harrogate
Anxiety
“I smoked for 22 years and honestly didn't believe anything could help me stop. The session with Neil was extraordinary. I walked out and simply didn't want a cigarette anymore. That was nine months ago.”
James, New York
Stop Smoking
“My insomnia had been destroying my work and my relationship. Neil was professional, warm, and non-judgmental. Within three weeks I was sleeping properly for the first time in two years.”
Emma, Bath
Insomnia
“I don't know what you did, but I'm actually sleeping now. If I do wake up, I use the cognitive shuffling technique you taught me, and I go straight to sleep again. Amazing. I never thought I could get rid of it, after all those years. You have literally transformed my life. I can't thank you enough.”
Annabel, Macclesfield
Insomnia
“I was at the stage where I found it almost impossible to even go out during the day — that's how bad it was. I had spoken to my doctor, who eventually prescribed pills, but they didn't help. Then I discovered Neil, and hypnotherapy. I can't believe the difference he made to my quality of life. I have no qualms leaving the house, and I lead a normal life again (if you can call my life normal 😀). Thank you Neil, you're a star. 🌟”
Kelly T, Derby
Anxiety
“My anxiety was so bad I was almost about to quit my job, if not get sacked. I couldn't face going in — I was off more than I was there. The situation had become untenable for me and my employer. After 3 sessions I returned to work, and after 3 more I was a completely different person again. Occasionally if I start to feel anxious, I use the anchor he taught me and it has an instant calming effect. You have literally saved my job, and given me my life back. Thank you a million times.”
Dennis R, Cheadle
Anxiety
“Having never had hypnosis before I was the ultimate sceptic. Neil was recommended — via a work colleague — to treat my aeroplane phobia. It was getting worse as I got older and I'd tried numerous remedies to no result whatsoever. However, 3 sessions later I was a different person. I cannot recommend this guy enough — massive game changer for me. It's afforded me the ability to travel healthily and safely via planes like a normal person.”
