Specialist Hypnosis for Chronic & Persistent Pain
Accredited Hypnotherapist & Change Coach in Brighton, East Sussex & Online.
Welcome,
I’m Geraldine,
A clinical hypnotherapist and mind-body pain specialist helping people with chronic and persistent pain, anxiety, and stress-related symptoms. Using hypnosis, nervous system regulation, and brain-based approaches, I help clients reduce pain, calm fear, and retrain unhelpful pain patterns.
If you’ve been living with chronic or persistent pain, you may already have tried medications, body-based therapies, or been told you simply need to “manage it better”. But when pain lasts for months or years, it often becomes more than just a physical issue. The brain, nervous system, stress, fear, and learned pain patterns can all begin to play a strong role in maintaining symptoms. My work focuses on this mind-body connection, helping you understand what may be causing your pain and supporting your brain and body to move out of protection and into change.
How I Help
I help you understand what may really be going on beneath chronic or persistent pain. This includes modern pain education, the role of the brain and nervous system, neuroplasticity, emotional triggers, and the learned patterns that can keep pain switched on. Together, we work to break the loop of fear, stress, and negative associations, helping your system feel safer and creating the conditions for real change.
Together, we work to:
Understand why pain can continue, even after injury or healing.
Identify the patterns, triggers and associations keeping symptoms active.
Retrain your brain and body to respond differently.
