CHESHIRE HYPNOTHERAPY & BWRT CLINIC
Break Free from Anxiety, Stress and Unwanted Habits
Hypnotherapy, BWRT® and psychotherapy in Northwich and online.
Professional Therapy, Tailored to You
Hi, I’m Ailsa. For more than 25 years, I’ve helped people who feel held back by anxiety, stress, panic, low confidence and unwanted habits.
No two people are the same, so I don’t follow a script or rely on one method. I combine clinical hypnotherapy, BWRT and psychotherapy, choosing the approach that best fits you and what you want to change.
Our work is practical and focused. We look at the patterns keeping you stuck and help you respond differently, without always needing to revisit painful experiences from the past.
I offer a warm, confidential and completely non-judgemental space, whether we meet at my practice in Northwich or online.

Therapy Approaches
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Just as we look after our bodies by going to the gym or booking a massage, clinical hypnotherapy gives you time to slow down, turn your attention inward and work with beliefs and patterns that may be holding you back. Think of it as a restorative massage for the mind.
I use clinical hypnotherapy to support people who want to change unwanted habits, manage their weight, or stop smoking or vaping. Every session is tailored to you, and you stay aware and in control throughout.
BWRT® (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy)
Sometimes, talking about the problem doesn’t feel like enough. BWRT is a modern, neuroscience-informed therapy that works with automatic responses before your conscious mind has time to step in.
I use BWRT to help people overcome fears, phobias, panic responses, trauma-related reactions and persistent emotional patterns, without having to go into detail about difficult experiences from the past.
You remain fully conscious and in control throughout.
What Clients Say
My experience with Ailsa and BWRT
Four years ago, I had a session with Ailsa that genuinely changed the direction of my life.
At the time, I was building my brand and, as it grew, I found myself becoming much more public-facing. The problem was that I had always struggled terribly with public speaking. The nerves would start days before an event, and by the time I got on stage I would be so anxious that I’d get myself in a muddle, stumble over my words and sometimes completely forget what I wanted to say.
Ailsa suggested I try a session of BWRT with her. I went into it with an open mind, but I could never have anticipated the difference one session would make.

Anxiety & Panic Attacks
I had reached a point where I was avoiding everyday things such as driving and going to busy shops. Ailsa made me feel completely at ease and helped me feel calmer, more in control and able to get on with my life again. Danielle O’Gara
Blushing & Confidence
I had struggled with blushing since my teens, and it had affected my confidence and social life. Ailsa helped me understand how to regain control of my thoughts and feelings and reduce the stress around it. I felt genuinely cared for throughout. Soph
Self-Esteem & Confidence
“I thought I would wait a couple of weeks before writing this so I could see what would happen and how I would feel. I’m really pleased to report that I am continuing to feel good about myself. The innate feeling of what I can only describe worthlessness and low self-esteem which I had been living with for so long has now gone and I’m gaining in confidence that it has gone for good. Going through the process was an amazing experience and it has left me with a lot to build on and develop on a personal basis. I’m finding myself to be really quite excited about the future and more able to take on what challenges will come this year rather than be scared of them. Life is pretty good just now! ” Janice
Smoking Cessation
I’m now a non-smoker and feel so much better. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, and it’s lovely not worrying about the smell or the cost anymore. Thank you, Ailsa, for helping me change my outlook. Jo
Driving Test Nerves
I came to Ailsa after failing my first driving test and losing confidence. I felt calm, positive and much more in control after the session — and I passed my next test. It was a completely new experience for me, and I’m so glad I gave it a chance. Dawn
Childhood Issues
I had carried issues from childhood that were affecting my adult life. I was sceptical at first, but the therapy had a profound effect. I was able to understand what had been happening and put those experiences back where they belonged, so they no longer controlled me. Name withheld
Finding the Right Fit Matters
Choosing a therapist is personal, and it’s important that you feel comfortable with whoever you decide to work with. So I usually recommend that you ring around a few therapists before making a final decision.
Sessions are a full 60 minutes, rather than a 50-minute therapy hour, and if we need a little extra time to finish properly, there’s no additional charge.
I know money is tight for a lot of people at the moment, so there’s never any pressure to book a block of sessions or commit to more than you’re comfortable with. People often need fewer sessions than they might expect with more traditional talking therapy. We’ll take things one session at a time, so you’re always in control of what feels right for you.
1. Get in Touch
Call or message whenever it suits you. If I’m with a client or unavailable, leave a message, and I’ll call you back.
2. We’ll Talk It Through
We’ll have a no-obligation chat; I’ll answer any questions, and together we’ll decide on the best way forward.
3. Book Your Session
If you decide to book, we’ll focus on what you’d like help with and discuss how we can work on it together.
A Few Common Questions
How many sessions will I need?
It varies from person to person and depends on what you’d like help with. Some people notice a difference after one or two sessions, while others benefit from a little longer. We’ll talk it through at the start and review things as we go.
What happens during a session?
We’ll start by talking about what you’d like help with and what you want to change. From there, I’ll tailor the session to you, using the approach I feel is most appropriate. I’ll explain everything as we go, so you’ll always know what to expect.
Will I still be in control during hypnosis?
Yes. Hypnosis isn’t about giving up control or being made to do anything you don’t want to do. You’ll remain aware of what’s happening, and you can speak, move or stop at any time.
Do I need to know which type of therapy I need?
No. You don’t need to decide whether hypnotherapy, BWRT® or psychotherapy is right for you before you get in touch. Tell me what you’d like help with, and we’ll talk through the options. I’ll recommend the approach I think is most appropriate for you and what you want to achieve.
