Gavin Roberts - Advanced Hypno-Psychotherapist
About me
Hello. Thanks for taking a moment to read my profile. I hope you're keeping well during these uncertain times.
You can now see me for in-person hypnotherapy in Stowmarket as my office has re-opened.
I am also continuing to do online hypnotherapy sessions so that I can help more people over a much wider area. There's more info about this on my website. Please read it now - just click the button to my website and find the 'online therapy' page in the menu or email me to find out more.
About my practice and the issues I treat..
Whether in-person or online, I practice Advanced Hypno-Psychotherapy, Mind Coaching, and Mentoring to treat...
- Stress and anxiety
- PTSD and other traumas
- Addictions (drugs, food, gambling, screen addiction, porn, sex, shopping etc.)
- Weight loss and emotional eating and eating disorders
- Fears, phobias, panic attacks
- OCD
- Depression and low mood
- Sleep problems

PLEASE NOTE: I no longer do smoking cessation sessions in person. There is an excellent online stop smoking hypnosis course on my website. For more info about this please visit https://www.human-spirit.co.uk/online-courses/#5-ten-steps-to-becoming-a-non-smoker-
Just before you contact me, you might like to know a little about my background...
I worked for Suffolk Social Services until my early thirties then decided on a career change after hypnotherapy resolved a problem I'd had for ten years.
I was initially trained by the Midlands Institute of Hypnotherapy in 2001, gaining diplomas in Professional Hypnotherapy, Hypno-analysis and Regression.
I then trained with SACH (School of Analytical and Cognitive Hypnotherapy) at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford from 2004 until 2007 and have since continued my professional development, most notably with the Human Givens Institute http://hgi.org.uk.
This eclectic training enables me to tailor my approach to suit you as an individual so I can do brief, solution-focused therapy or transpersonal (spiritual) therapy, depending on your needs. (You might want to just sort a problem, or explore the deeper aspects of your life).
I am also qualified in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
I see the work I do not only as hypnotherapy but as 'psychological mentoring' or what might be called 'mind-coaching' where you'll learn about your own psychological make-up and, more importantly, how to change it for the better!
I have nearly 20 years' experience and am a member of the GHR (General Hypnotherapy Register), which is the largest hypnotherapy register of practitioners in the UK http://www.general-hypnotherapy-register.com/
If you'd like to find out more about my hypnotherapy approach download a copy of my free ebook (from my website) that tells you how hypnosis resolved that ten-year problem of mine - in only two sessions.
And to start the process of making positive changes in your own life, book a Free Discovery Session. There's no obligation to book any paid sessions: it's just a chance for us to chat and for you to ask any questions about hypnosis and how I can help you feel better.
If you have any questions or would like to book your Free Discovery Session call me on 07921 331707 or email me from the button at the top of this page.
It would be a real privilege to work with you.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
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.

- Children's issues (fear of school, bullying, nightmares, bed-wetting, lack of confidence, shyness, thumb sucking etc.)
- Hypno-Healing (Mind-Body healing through hypnosis)
- Transpersonal/Spiritual Hypnotherapy to awaken your soul, find more meaning and purpose in your life and reconnect to something greater than yourself, whether you call it God, the Great Spirit, the Universe, the Tao
- Professional Mentoring for newly qualified hypnotherapists
- Hypnosis downloads - recorded sessions
- Online self-development courses
- Online therapy sessions
