Hypnotherapy for IBS
Hello, I’m Susanne, a hypnotherapist specialising in helping women calm the symptoms of IBS.
I was drawn to this work because there are over 40 years of scientific research showing the long-term benefits of gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS. In fact, it’s recommended by the NHS because it works — safely and effectively.
In my experience, though, there’s always more to the story. Without exception, my clients have had an emotional or physical trigger before their IBS symptoms began — from childhood bullying to complications after surgery. Something always came first.
That’s why I trained further in trauma therapy. During that time, I was chatting with my daughters and casually mentioned how lucky I was not to have experienced trauma. They raised their eyebrows and said, “Mum!!”
It made me realise how often we dismiss difficult experiences as “just life.” But really, they’re what I call life’s laundry — the things we carry that quietly weigh us down.
Maybe that resonates with you. If so, I’d love to help.
I’m proud to have over 50 Google reviews, and many clients mention how warm and cosy my therapy room feels. But more importantly, they leave feeling lighter — healing from the past, calming anxiety, soothing emotional triggers, and gently resolving limiting self-beliefs.
If you’re curious about whether hypnotherapy for IBS is right for you, I offer a free 20-minute chat to answer any questions and see if we’re the right fit.
If you’re ready to heal your past and enjoy your future, get in touch — I’d love to hear from you.
The Science Bit – In Plain English
Hypnotherapy for IBS isn’t a “maybe it helps” kind of thing — it’s been properly researched and shown to work for 70–80% of people with IBS. That’s a big number.
It helps reduce both the physical and emotional symptoms of IBS (because they’re totally linked) and is especially effective for people who haven’t had much relief from other treatments.
Even in severe cases, gut-directed hypnotherapy has made a difference — and the best bit? Improvements have been shown to last at least five years.
No side effects.
No medication.
Just your mind and body working together — your brain doing clever things when it’s given the space to.
If you like the science behind it, here’s a link to Professor Peter Whorwell’s ground-breaking research into IBS and hypnotherapy.
