Help for addiction with hypnotherapy

Step away from old patterns and move towards freedom with tailored hypnotherapy sessions.

Addiction can quietly take over, leaving you feeling stuck in habits that no longer serve you. Whether it’s a daily compulsion or a cycle you’ve tried to break before, change is possible. Through focused hypnotherapy and a practical, future-based approach, I can help you regain clarity and build healthier behaviours.

Struggling to stop even when you want to
Using substances or behaviours to cope with stress

Nick Bullock

Solution Focused Hypnotherapist

Hi, I’m Nick, a Hypnotherapist and Solution Focused Therapist dedicated to helping people move toward a happier, healthier life.

My approach is collaborative, practical and always focused on what feels right for you, with your thoughts, feelings and emotions at the centre of the process.

I offer one-to-one sessions combining hypnotherapy and solution-focused therapy, with flexible appointments in London and online. You’re welcome to book a free discovery call to explore how I can support you.

I have been working with Nick for several months now and find him to be extremely professional, supportive and motivational. Each of our sessions were positive and enjoyable and despite being slightly apprehensive at first, I began to feel the benefits almost straight away and continue to do so now. With Nick’s help and support I have become more positive and self confident, managing to deal with my negative self beliefs once and for all, after years of letting them control my life. I would recommend Nick to anyone.

I can’t recommend Nick enough. I wasn’t too sure whether he could help but he definitely did! I saw him as, after a nasty incident, I was having panic attacks during open water swim races and they are completely gone now. Nick has a great manner about him which puts you at ease and I think it really helped that he’s a keen sportsman himself. Thoroughly recommended!

Nick has been the best therapist that I have had. A great guy, and I recommend him to anyone going through something and trying to make it better. Cheers Nick.

I have been seeing Nick now for 9 sessions and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the first session he made me feel at ease and I have really enjoyed the experience. It has helped to improve my sleep patterns as well as my patience! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nick for all his work so far – I know that we have even bigger plans in the future to help with self development and I am really excited by this!

Working with Nick was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Slightly hesitant/sceptical of hypnotherapy to begin with, Nick put me at ease from the outset and made truly transformative changes to my thinking and approach to certain day to day activities that I was struggling with. Would recommend!

I had bad anxiety and was always overthinking. But after just one session I started to notice a difference. Never thought hypnotherapy could help me with my anxiety AND insomnia but all have changed and I’m now doing so much better all round.

The best hypnotherapist I have been working with. Nick is compassionate, present and will certainly help you relax and feel nourished. Highly recommended!

As soon as I spoke to Nick on the phone, I knew things were about to start being better. His enthusiasm for your progress is infectious and that is a huge part of the process. As a therapist you can be the best deliverer of trance scripts but if the rapport is not there, the therapy will go nowhere. With Nick you immediately get the impression you are being professionally listened to, intensely, and that is so reassuring. He pushes you along and upwards into the right zone, until to get you where you want to be. The sessions were all a delight and they were the highlight of my week!

Cannot recommend Nick enough. I saw him for low mood and low self esteem. Since he treated me I have gone on to start my own business and it’s going really well. I don’t believe I would have been brave enough to do this without Nicks help. He’s a game changer. And a really lovely guy.

Got a question?

It’s completely normal to have questions before starting hypnotherapy. Feel free to reach out. I’m happy to chat and answer anything you’re unsure about.

How do hypnotherapy and solution focused therapy work together for anxiety?

My approach combines hypnotherapy with solution focused therapy, offering a targeted and effective way to address anxiety. Unlike counselling, which often explores the past, this method keeps us looking forward—building on your strengths and goals to create real, positive changes.

In each session, hypnotherapy helps clear away unhelpful thought patterns, while solution-focused therapy guides the path forward. You’ll gain practical tools to help you feel calmer and more in control, enabling you to face challenges with confidence.

By reducing the daily impact of anxiety, we aim to create a life with less worry and more ease. Together, we’ll reshape anxious thoughts, build resilience against triggers, and develop strategies to manage stress with greater clarity.
