Goals & Dreams

Your past does not have to define your future. Using hypnosis and NLP techniques such as Future Pacing, we gently guide your mind to experience the future you truly desire, as if it is already unfolding.

“Goals and dreams don’t have to feel overwhelming, when your mind feels calmer, moving forward can begin to feel easier.”

If any of this feels familiar, I can help

Experiencing a sense of stagnation has a distinct appearance. Here are the patterns that show up when your current life and your desired life no longer match.

Dream feels out of reach

I can describe exactly what I want, but it feels like it belongs to someone else’s life.

Fear of failure

Every time I get close, I find a way to delay, sabotage, or talk myself out of it.

Loss of motivation

I used to feel driven. Now I feel flat, distracted, and unsure what I am working towards.

Imposter beliefs

Who am I to do this? Why would it happen for me when it hasn’t yet?

Overwhelmed by the path

I know the end, but the middle feels impossible. I do not know which step matters most.

Limiting beliefs from the past

Old voices say “don’t get your hopes up”. I want to stop listening to them.

How hypnotherapy helps

Future Pacing is a core tool in NLP and performance psychology. Research shows that mental rehearsal activates many of the same neural pathways as real experience, meaning that when your subconscious begins to rehearse the future you want, confidence grows, hope returns, and the path toward it stops feeling theoretical. Hypnotherapy deepens that rehearsal. In a relaxed state, the mind is open, vivid and responsive, and the version of you living the goal becomes tangible rather than abstract.

Together we clarify what you actually want, release the beliefs and old experiences quietly blocking it, and install the mindset and habits of the person who already lives that life. Over time, decisions become easier, opportunities become visible, and the dream stops feeling fragile. Because lasting change happens when your mind genuinely believes it is possible.

Future pacing sessions

Each session is tailored to the life you actually want, not the one you think you should want. Together we build a clear, compelling vision, align it with empowering beliefs and habits, and begin training your subconscious to make it feel already real.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will start this by saying Lorraine has changed my life!! That is really no exaggeration. I suffered with very severe postnatal depression which led to years of health anxiety related to my daughter. As I got older the health anxiety then crept into my own world where I became obsessed with the idea that myself or my daughter were going to suffer some terrible illness. I went to Lorraine in desperate need of some help to relieve the stress, pressure and pain this condition was chasing as it was ruling my every day life. Through hypnotherapy and NLP Lorraine has reprogrammed my thinking and I no longer suffer the symptoms of health anxiety. The thoughts crop up, because she can’t wipe my brain, but I no longer dwell on them, they no longer upset or distress me, and they no longer impact how I live, feel or sleep. It’s truly magical. I am so grateful and have actually recommended two of my family members to see her, one of whom is now already engaging in her care and seeing huge benefits! Thank you Lorraine, you are so wonderful at what you do and I will be forever grateful 🙏🏻 💗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Lorraine with a fear of flying. She skilfully designed a series of sessions which included hypnotherapy and NLP. Every session was not only deeply relaxing and empowering, but also gave me practical tools to take away and practise. Each session built on the last and the final session pulled everything together. During the flight I was able to take control of my nerves an emotions, such an amazing feeling. I would definitely recommend Lorraine, she has taught me skills for life 🤩

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Lorraine for issues with IBS; nothing I had tried previously had had a long term effect. I was very sceptical. I found Lorraine to be a very warm and understanding person, she asked questions in a careful and supportive way. She explained the benefits of deep breathing and hypnotherapy and I have now had 3 hypnotherapy sessions. I feel so relaxed and energised after these sessions and to date have not had an IBS issue for 3 months - RESULT! Would fully recommend Lorraine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was initially a bit cynical about trying hypnotherapy however due to the long waiting lists on the NHS for treatment I decided to try it.  I went to Lorraine with anxiety issues and a fear of vomiting and eating certain foods. From the moment I met with Lorraine she made me feel at ease,  I felt listened to and hopeful that my problems could be solved. At the end of my 6 sessions I have learnt a lot about myself , Lorraine has given me lots of information and techniques to take away with me. I am now getting back to my normal self , enjoying socialising again and eating food!  I feel so much more relaxed and haven’t had any anxiety issues. I would definitely recommend Lorraine and I am so thankful for all she has done x
