About me
If you're reading this, you're probably exhausted from trying to feel better. Perhaps you've been searching for a hypnotherapist in Cheltenham or online hypnotherapy across the UK and wondering if it can really help. Maybe you've tried other things that haven't worked and this feels like your last attempt. You might be nervous, overwhelmed, or anxious about even reaching out, and that's completely okay.
Perhaps anxiety is showing up in ways you didn't even expect. Struggling to speak up at work or at home. Letting other people's opinions take over your thoughts and knock your confidence. Avoiding social situations because the thought of them feels overwhelming. Lying awake at 3am with a racing mind. Panic attacks that come out of nowhere and leave you shaken. Feeling on edge all the time but not really knowing why. If any of that sounds familiar, you are not alone and you don't have to keep living like this.
Most of my clients feel exactly the same way before their first session.
What they tell me afterwards is different. They sleep better. They feel more confident. They go on that holiday, take that flight, get behind the wheel without even thinking about it. It just becomes their natural way of being.
I'm Lesley Ford, a multi award-winning clinical hypnotherapist based in Cheltenham. I have a sense of humour which helps more than you'd think, and I take time to really understand what's going on for you. I get to the heart of issues quickly and I don't keep people in therapy longer than they need to be. I'm here to get you results.

Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level. All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
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
In engaging me as your therapist, I bring with me a toolkit of other approaches that I can bring to your sessions.
Master Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner (EFT)
Often called 'Tapping' this valuable tool concentrates on the meridian lines of energy within your body and can aid, with your permission, to your sessions.
Mindfulness/Self-Hypnosis
I teach clients these techniques for them to use at home so as they can learn to relax more and live more stress free.
Accredited Life Coach
Life coaching complements hypnotherapy well as it can help you plan your life goals and aid you to discover your belief system and make changes. This works very well with stress related problems in any area of your life.
Law of Attraction Practitioner
As an LoA coach, I help you release blocks to your manifesting outcomes. I regularly run comprehensive vision board courses also.
Registered Homeopath (Post Graduate)
I can also bring a wealth of knowledge for alternative healing using Homeopathy. I have been registered since 2005 and am fully insured.
