Cognitive Hypnotherapy for Motivation

You’re not lazy—you’re stuck. And there’s a way through that isn’t just ‘trying harder’.

Struggling with motivation can feel like fighting yourself. You know what you want to do—or need to do—but starting feels impossible. Tasks pile up, deadlines loom, and guilt creeps in. You might feel stuck in a loop of thinking about doing the thing without ever quite getting there, which can sap your energy and self-esteem. Over time, lack of motivation can affect your work, wellbeing, relationships, and confidence. It’s not just about willpower—it’s about what’s going on beneath the surface.
Reasons Why You Might Have This Problem: A dip in motivation is often tied to deeper emotional or psychological factors—burnout, fear of failure, fear of success, overwhelm, perfectionism, or internal resistance to a goal that doesn’t actually feel aligned. It can also be a symptom of depression, chronic stress, or feeling disconnected from purpose. Sometimes the issue isn’t about the task—it’s about how you feel about yourself in relation to it. If your nervous system is in survival mode, your brain will prioritise protection over progress.
Reasons You Might Resist Getting Treatment: It’s easy to dismiss low motivation as a personal failing, or believe you just need to “push through.” You might feel ashamed to ask for help, especially if everything looks fine on the outside. Some people worry therapy will involve pressure, or that they’ll be judged for not having their act together. Others don’t know where to start—or have lost sight of what they’re even working towards.
Why Cognitive Hypnotherapy Can Help: Cognitive Hypnotherapy helps identify the emotional blocks that are draining your motivation—and gives you tools to shift them. We look at what's behind the resistance, what your brain is trying to protect you from, and how to gently build trust in yourself again. The process isn’t about forcing productivity—it’s about understanding what your mind needs in order to move. Together, we build clarity, momentum, and practical strategies that work with your natural rhythm, not against it. Motivation returns not through pressure, but through alignment.

What happens in a Cognitive Hypnotherapy session?

Sessions are personalised to your needs and designed to be collaborative and gentle. You’ll remain in control the whole time—we work together using tailored language, visualisation, and practical tools to help shift patterns at both the conscious and unconscious level.

Will I be made to relive difficult memories or face my fear directly?

No. This isn’t exposure therapy. We work at your pace, focusing on what’s safe and appropriate for you. There’s no need to revisit trauma in detail unless that feels useful—and even then, it’s done with care.

How many sessions will I need?

That varies from person to person. Some clients find relief in just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. We’ll review progress regularly and adjust as needed.

What if I don’t think I can be hypnotised?

Most people can access a heightened state of awareness state, which simply feels like focused attention or daydreaming. You’ll be fully aware and in control throughout. Hypnotherapy isn’t about “going under”—it’s about engaging your mind in a different way.

Is everything confidential?

Absolutely. Your privacy is respected at all times, and your information will be treated with complete confidentiality.
