About me
Break Free from Anxiety, Habits, and Fears That Are Holding You Back
If you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, weight issues, smoking, phobias, or low confidence — and nothing you’ve tried has created lasting change — hypnotherapy can help you reset things at a deeper level.
This isn’t about “willpower” or quick fixes. It’s about working with your subconscious mind to change the patterns that keep you stuck.

Thanks to Garry I was able to stop smoking a few years ago. After only 1 session I felt transformed, i was no longer feeling the need for a cigarette, within weeks I was feeling better in myself & never looked back since. Not only did Gary save me years of future illness but a load of cash too.

“I would just like to say a big thank you to Garry for helping me to feel sane again after suffering from depression off and on for many years. Garry helped me to see that I could help myself and challenge my thinking.
The amazing thing is how quickly this happens, really after only a few sessions!
Whatever problems you are experiencing hypnotherapy really works and Garry has the experience and skill to put you at ease and help you move on with your life.
Thanks Garry”

“In July 2011 I was the heaviest weight I have ever been and my obsession with chocolate and food was dangerously out of control.
I knew I had to do something or I would literally eat myself to death.
I can’t recommend Garry enough, he was kind and caring and listened to my issues and tailored the sessions to my needs. I was sceptical at first but I can confidently say it worked for me.
The little voice in my head will say to me “Will that food help you lose weight? If not don’t eat it!”
I have so much more confidence and enjoy going to the gym all through Garry’s help.”

“Dear Gary
I would like to say thank you for your patience and understanding over the weeks that I have been coming to see you.
As you said, once you had guided my mind through my issues I began to feel better in myself and did realise I could do anything!! The big problem was my weight and hooray I did start to lose the weight that I wanted to.
Once again Gary thank you for helping me through what I thought was a difficult time for me.
I am very grateful thanks.”

“I came to see Garry after I had suffered with anxiety due to a horrendous presentation in front of 40 managers and directors with my role at work. I had reached the point where I would sit in meetings just hating that it would be me next.
Things have gone so well since that I’ve been in front of 90 people presenting my speech with not a worry in the world! 6 months before I’d have been hiding at the back of the room or under the table! I would encourage anyone with concerns or issues similar to mine to try hypnotherapy.

Beat anxiety & panic with hypnosis
…..
“ After forty years of mental and psychological abuse I had some pretty serious and complex personal issues. My doctor told me not to expect too much in my recovery – he said that “sometimes when things are broken they simply can’t be mended”. I didn’t believe that and fortunately neither did Garry
I would absolutely recommend Garry Webster to anybody who is seeking to improve themselves or the way in which they live their lives in any way.”
Name withheld.…..
“I first approached Garry Webster with an alcohol-related problem not knowing at all what to expect but willing to ”give it a go”. I was immediately at ease as Garry is easy to talk to and confide in. I am pleased to say that I now feel like this has changed my life, enabling me to be more confident, relaxed and happy and I cannot begin to thank Garry enough for his assistance in helping me to achieve this.”

….. “Dear Gary, Just a quick note to say a big thank you for everything you have done for me. When I approached you it was really a last port of call. My flying phobia had gotten completely out of control to the point I couldn’t even see a plane in the sky without feeling anxious, not to mention the massive panic attacks I suffered when I actually flew.And when the day came around, I was able to fly as a perfectly normal person. Going through hypnotherapy has been life changing, and I am so glad I found someone who takes such pride in their work, are thorough and listens actively to their patients concerns. All the best Maria”

What Is Hypnotherapy?
It is a natural human state that we all enter every day of our lives. It is NOT something to fear, it is about being more aware- not less! You cannot get 'stuck' in trance, you are always in control and never asleep.
How Can Hypnotherapy Help You?
Hypnotherapy helps to re-train the way you think about your problems. You too can learn how to be better at all manner of things. I use Hypnotherapy to help you see how much better you can be, if you like it is about using a different part of your brain. You do have the capability you are looking for, but sometimes we all need a little help to find that capability.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me, I am always happy to help. You are welcome to come for a FREE consultation to answer any questions you may have.

If youre looking for professional hypnotherapy in Derbyshire, i can help! I have been passionate about hypnosis and therefore hypnotherapy since qualifying in 2001. I am a trained hypno-psychotherapist which means that I need to have completed 1850 hours of training at masters degree level whereas most other hypnotherapists have usually completed around 450 hours of training. My client's health, wellbeing and happiness are my primary concern and I strive to get the best results for them.
My training was at the NCHP (National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy) which is probably the UK's longest established school of hypno-psychotherapy training. My training is all at masters (degree) level and that in total my training will amount to some 1850 hours where many other schools only train for around 400 hours!
Bear this in mind when you are looking for a therapist.
There is ample free parking at the practice, there is also a bus stop right outside, but best of all it is very private.
