About me
Welcome to my Hypnotherapy Practice, that also includes various other methodologies. These are all available in beautiful relaxing surroundings overlooking Meon Hill and the Hidcote escarpment of Mickleton in Chipping Campden.
Both in person and online therapy is available to suit the client, although many prefer being in my therapy room having face to face therapy.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is also available, I qualified with distinction. Please see below for more details:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Most commonly used to treat Anxiety and Depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems, in fact covering a whole spectrum of problems and conditions.
Hypnotherapy services available both person to person ideally or remotely if unable to travel are:
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, and The Blast Technique (BLAST) being available via Zoom, plus the pre-interview for the QHHT session, (Note:the Practical part of QHHT requires to be in my therapy room).
Quantum Healing Hypnotherapy Technique (QHHT), is only available person to person, the case history etc, can be taken via Zoom, a few days before the practical session.
My experience is wide in the field, these are a few of the conditions I can help you with: *ANXIETY *FEAR *PTSD QUIT SMOKING PHOBIAS *STRESS *RELAXATION *PAST LIFE REGRESSION *HEALING through HYPNOSIS
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy helps to assist clients in many ways, bringing both positivity and changes.
Healing through Hypnosis is possible in these sessions, thus helping to boost the Immune System. This is an area I’ve had lots of experience with, whilst the client is in trance, giving amazing results.
The Blast Technique, meaning Bi Lateral Amygdala Stimulation Techniques is a blend of eye open Hypnosis with eye tracking movements, it aims to help process and remove unconscious Trauma, known as PTSD, (post traumatic stress disorder) these difficult times may create these conditions, or trigger existing traumas.
N/B Your consultation will indicate to me what’s best suited for you in Therapy, these modalities may change accordingly as your sessions continue, and you make steady progress.
All sessions last an hour approximately, the consultation about 1.15 mins approx, this forms the basis for effective therapeutic Hypnotherapy.
So let me introduce myself and thank you for viewing my profile.
Luckily I have travelled World wide, and have had a therapy business since 1990, before then I was teaching therapies in various colleges. I began realising that to make lasting changes in clients, Hypnosis was the only way forward. Hypnotherapy has become very profound in these present times, as many conditions can be worked upon and healed by the client themselves with the aid of trance Hypnosis, this enables the client to move forward, so they can enjoy their life to the fullest.
In applying Hypnotherapy anything is possible, from help with insomnia, stress, PSTD, trauma, phobias, relationship/ family issues, lack of confidence, depression, weight loss/Smoking etc, in fact the list is endless!
I do have a passion working with PTSD and also cover a wide variety of conditions, my training and experience is diverse, and is constantly ongoing, updating and changing. Please read on for information about some of my approaches and how I can work with you.
I particularly love working with trauma and healing through Hypnotherapy based methodologies, I cannot explain enough, just how wonderful it is to see the changes unfolding before my/and my clients eyes.
Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique Know as QHHT.
My training took place with Dolores Cannon in 2012, then to advanced level in 2013.
This covers all conditions and can look at illnesses and issues. Powerful Healing can take place during a session where needed. Much can be achieved during just one session (4 hours approx), complete with a recording of the session for reference. QHHT is invaluable in gaining answers from the Subconscious Mind and beyond. Many people benefit from hearing the answers to their problems from themselves as you answer your own questions during the trance state. During QHHT you are taken back to a time that’s usually appropriate to the reason for seeking QHHT, this can indicate life patterns, thus helping to understand your issues in this current life.
* I was very privileged to have trained with the late Dolores Cannon, she was exceptionally experienced with her methodology, and she wrote many books on her findings.
Dolores has trained thousands of people world wide, I learnt a great deal from her training and found her very down to earth and extremely knowledgeable, adding to my interest in healing through Hypnosis.
Introducing The BLAST Technique by Nick Davies. Trained in 2014.
Blast Technique has successfully treated many psychological problems and illnesses - from depression, phobias, fears, guilt, grief, cravings for substance abuse, Nicotine and food, recurrent nightmares to post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD).
It allows for a rapid processing of deeply rooted memories, giving clients back control of their lives and their emotions.
BLAST is an accelerated method derived from EMDR and delivers a rapid and extremely accurate approach to this treatment.
Working with you
With all my experience and knowledge over the years whilst working with clients on many conditions I have found that profound healing is truly possible with Hypnosis giving lasting and changing results and this can happen all by itself through the power of Hypnotherapy and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique.
Each client is treated with a great amount of respect and care, my ultimate aim and goal is to help my clients move on and forward with their own lives. Several methods and skills are generally used to gain maximum results with optimal safety.

Further information
Hypnosis and many other new Methods have become the therapy of the future, particularly when much is encompassed whilst working with the subconscious mind, as you yourself have the power to heal yourself... you just need to allow yourself to have faith, and be willing to make the changes....then anything is possible in the field of Hypnotherapy...as the subconscious knows everything about yourself and only wants the best for you, therefore rewriting and healing the past if needed to make the changes so you can safely go forward with a positive mind and attitude.
This allows yourself to free up anything thats been holding you back and enables you to go forward in a positive and meaningful way, giving you a rewarding future.
Everyone can benefit with these modalities, the client is always in full control so you will feel comfortable throughout the session, giving you the very best results.
After Fully completing my various Hypnotherapy fields of training, I believe that to obtain the optimal results it’s best for my clients to firstly receive one Ericksonian Hypnotherapy session, then either EDMR (Blast technique) or Quantum Healing Hypnosis... and this is assessed during the initial session. [This of course, depends upon the condition and on my advise given].
N/B Now I'm also working with BWRT, this speeds things up, so on the initial session you may go straight into BWRT, again this is advised on the initial session.
Some of the reasons for preparation...Essential changes will already have taken place for you, allowing the Blast Technique or the QHHT to flow more easily, this is where the main healing work can be achieved and gives both the answers and the fuel that's needed to move you forward and create the changes required. Hypnosis gives amazing, positive, healing results and these are achieved on many levels!. My main purpose is to give only the best results!, and through experience and training with world leading pioneers in these fields, I am getting brilliant ongoing results. Hypnosis is a truly remarkable therapy and the results never cease to amaze me!. It's become my working passion and it never tires me as the progression continues on in a very positive way.
Results of my work are constantly evolving giving me great satisfaction and confidence in helping my clients make lasting remarkable changes in their lives!
I shall look forward to having the pleasure of working with you.
Thanks, Gail Maddox

Please read some of my personal testimonials:
LeAnn sent a review on her daughters behalf: 28/08/2025
Our experience with Gail Maddox has been nothing short of transformative.
My daughter was struggling with severe trauma-related symptoms that deeply affected her school work and brought immense sadness into her daily life. From the very beginning, Gail approached her treatment with compassion, professionalism, and unwavering support.
She used a form of EMDR, called the Blast Technique and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy to complete the work, and the results were remarkable. Through Gail’s skilled guidance, my daughter was able to process and heal her trauma that had been holding her back. The shift in her emotional wellbeing was profound.
What truly sets Gail apart is her consistent presence and care. She responded to every message I sent, offering reassurance and clarity, not just for my daughter, but to me as a parent navigating this journey. Her support extended beyond the therapy room, and that made all the difference.
I am truly grateful for Gail Maddox’s expertise and kindness. She helped restore light and possibility to my daughter’s life, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family or individual who is seeking trauma-based work.
Luke wrote April 2020: After spending quite a lot of time searching for a qualified, experienced practitioner, I was delighted to discover Gail Maddox and Hypnotherapy Minds. I was suffering with an issue that was having quite a severe impact on my personal life, but with Gail’s patience and vast skill set, she was able to help me get to the root cause of my issue and ultimately resolve it. I now feel that I can get on with my life without this large, black cloud hovering over me. Not only is Gail extremely professional,she also shows compassion and empathy which immediately puts you at ease. I cannot thank her enough and I would highly recommend her and her services.
Nikki T re: Weight Loss & Stress - "Gail has made a massive difference to my life. A number of issues that I have found very difficult to deal with are now unimportant to me, giving me confidence in knowing that should I have to deal with stressful situations, I can cope, instead of turning to food for comfort. Thanks to Gail and her wonderful approach!"
Sara W re:Trauma - "The Blast Technique [EMDR] is Amazing! It's changed my life [literally]. Gail helped me through such a difficult time with this technique. Believe!"
Jackie R re:QHHT - "Extraordinary work...Infinite Gratitude.|"
Charlotte B re:Fear of flying - "I now free of the trapped feelings, and I'm looking forward to my holiday, feeling carefree. Thank you, Gail."
Karl G re:Speech Disorder - "Gail is amazing to work with, I felt really comfortable and at ease. The Blast Technique really did improve my speech. Quantum Healing Hypnotherapy [QHHT], was life changing!"
Nicola - "Gail is extremely professional in her approach. She immediately put me at ease, was a patient listener and seemed to really understand the issues and problems I was experiencing before deciding upon an appropriate course of action.
Those who have never experienced hypnotherapy before may be concerned about going into a trance, this is not what happens and you are always in control. For me it was about thinking in a different way and getting out of a black hole which Gail helped me to do fairly quickly. It also made me realise that the physical symptoms I was experiencing were 100% linked to my anger and negative thoughts. As soon as I changed my thoughts and how I approached my problems the physical pain and discomfort went away.
Thank you Gail for helping me - it was worth every penny!"
