About me
Hello, I’m Tansy Forrest, a clinical hypnotherapist with more than eight years in practice. Much of my work is with high-functioning adults who want to change their relationship with alcohol and drink less, without labels and without shame. For many people that means moderation rather than giving up completely. Together we work out what feels right for you.
How I work
I combine hypnotherapy with elements of CBT and clear, practical goal setting. Our first session is a detailed fact-find. We look at your current routine, your drinking history, what you want to change and why. From that I build a plan that’s personal to you. Each session after that includes hypnotherapy tailored to your goals, and many clients have a recording to listen to between sessions so the work carries on at home.
Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state of focus. You stay in control the whole time.
Change still takes your commitment. Hypnotherapy can help you feel calmer and more confident in the choices you make. It works best alongside your own motivation and the practical tools we put in place together.
Who I work with
I work with adults (18+) online, mostly over Zoom, with clients across the UK, the US and further afield. I also see some clients face to face in Wimbledon, SW19.
If you’re not sure whether I’m the right fit, book a free 20-minute consultation and we can talk it through.

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.

Further information
My book, Ten Steps to Drink Less and Live Well, sets out the step-by-step method I use with clients. It covers understanding your triggers, setting limits that suit your life, taking alcohol-free breaks and handling slip-ups without giving up. As I often say, it’s only a stumble, no need to crumble.
If you’d rather work at your own pace, my online course follows the same ten steps.
Many people first hear my voice on YouTube, where my sleep hypnosis and guided meditation channel has more than 192,000 subscribers. Listening to a few recordings is a gentle way to find out whether my style suits you before we talk.
