About me
When NOTHING else has worked - people find me.
I am Dr Iain Lightfoot and have worked with the most complex cases in Harley Street, the military and Southampton. I pride myself on being able to make changes when others haven't. Many of my clients come to me after they have tried counselling, CBT and even hypnotherapy.
What makes me different is that I specialise in understanding the root causes of issues and tailor each session to my clients - I don't use generic techniques. This means that each client receives a bespoke session that results in highly effective change at rapid pace.
My specialist areas are:
- Anxiety
- Smoking
- Gambling
- Alcohol
- Changing deep routed habits/fears
Some hypnotherapists will make you block book a minimum of 4 to 6 sessions before taking you on as a client. Not me.
My aim is to help you return to the best version of yourself in as quick a time as possible. I do this by:
✔ Understanding the root cause of your issue(s)
✔ Removing emotional pain rooted habits
✔ Quieting doubt, over thinking and anxiety
✔ Overcoming challenging and deep rooted habits
✔ Re-instating hope, confidence and self-belief
What I do is simply not a job. My calling is to help you.
I have helped 1000s of clients. If you'd like to know what they say about me, please read my numerous 5* Google Reviews.

Member organisations
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members. There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
While I’m proud to offer support for a wide range of everyday challenges, I’m also known for helping clients with complex issues where others have struggled to make progress. Whether it’s a common habit or a deeply rooted problem, I’m here to help you find the breakthrough you deserve.
