Dedicated personal service, consisting of one-to-one sessions via Zoom to help you with weight reduction and/or other related issues. This format is ideal for people who have never had hypnotherapy before as well as for people with more complicated issues. One-to-one sessions normally form one part of an overall course of therapy, which will be malleable and adaptable depending on what is discovered during the therapy sessions. The average number of sessions for full therapy course is 4-12.

Custom Helpnosis ™
It is essentially custom hypnosis on demand. After discussing a specific issue, related to weight reduction and defining the desired outcome, I then produce a highly customized hypnotic recording (about 25 min long). Excellent for people who are already familiar with hypnotherapy and have a single, clearly defined, desired outcome. Having regular Customized Helpnosis could provide the closest match to one-to-one hypnotherapy sessions as recordings will be adapted to your needs and your progress as the therapy course goes on.

Hi there! I’m Diana
Advanced Hypnotherapist
HPD, AdvDipH, DipNLP, CertHC
I am a qualified advanced hypnotherapist, who is committed to helping you with weight loss or any other issue that you may have. Using hypnotherapy for weight loss is becoming a common practice as it offers lasting change, and sometimes that lasting change is easier than you might expect with hypnosis.
I truly care, which you will notice right away once we get to know one another.
My Specializations
Weight Reduction
I specialize in customized weight loss hypnotherapy. Customized because we are all different people with different priorities, unique obstacles, various personality traits, and different levels of openness, etc. While there are universal reasons for some unhelpful behavior and similarities in people’s lifestyles, I believe we all process information differently and learn new things differently and because of that, if you want more conclusive and lasting results, it’s best to have hypnosis tailored to your needs.
I started as a generalist, then had a couple of years of experience working with people struggling emotionally, mostly with anxiety and depression, and then naturally progressed toward excess weight reduction, as a lot of issues related to overeating are emotional. I also have experience working with clients suffering from chronic pain.
Medical and Psychological Associations Approve Hypnotherapy
The British and American Medical Associations have approved hypnotherapy since 1955 and 1958 respectively.
“The medical practice of hypnotherapy, as the documents cited below prove, has subsequently been approved by the British Medical Association (BMA), a recognition which was first stated in 1892, reinforced in 1955, and followed by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1958.”
Hypnosis was recognized as an effective form of therapy by the Royal Society of Medicine in 1978, the United States’ National Institute of Health in 1995, the British Psychological Society in 2001, and the American Psychological Association in 2005.
The American Psychological Association has endorsed hypnosis and accepted it to be effective therapeutic technique since 1960.
“Although hypnosis has been controversial, most clinicians now agree it can be a powerful, effective therapeutic technique for a wide range of conditions, including pain, anxiety and mood disorders. Hypnosis can also help people change their habits, such as quitting smoking.”

Some Frequently Asked Questions
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy has two parts, therapy and trancework. The therapeutic part is similar to general counseling and involves a variety of therapies. My work includes, but is not limited to, NLP, CBT, REBT , and Gestalt therapy.
The second part is hypnosis or trancework, which in some ways is very similar to meditation, although it’s different, as different types of brainwaves are involved. It feels similar during the first couple of sessions for most people, and then the trance deepens and can be compared to a dream-like state allowing the suggestions and new learning to take effect and leave a lasting impression.
Because the mind and body have a strong survival instinct, are holistic, and want to get better naturally, if there are any suggestions that are perceived as negative, they will not stick. Hypnosis and hypnotic coaching are very safe and effective therapeutic methods.
What is hypnosis/trance?
Hypnosis is a way to induce a trance. A trance-like state is a very natural altered state of mind. We often drift off to a trance-like state when we are reading a book, daydreaming, or watching TV. During that time, the conscious, critical mind relaxes and sort of drifts off, and the subconscious mind takes charge. Because the subconscious mind is hidden beyond our awareness, it seems like we are running on some sort of autopilot. We drift in and out of trance several times a day, and it’s a very natural and safe state.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Most people can be hypnotized, the exceptions would be babies, young children, anyone who doesn’t want to be hypnotized, and anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Everybody experiences a trance-like state from time to time as a natural state of mind.
Can I be made to do anything or say anything I don’t want to when under hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is very safe and your critical ability is always present. No one can be made to do anything they don’t want using hypnosis. Whatever your morals and ethical codes are during your waking state, they will be the same when you are in a trance. If any suggestion is given which conflicts with your value system or which you perceive as negative in some way, that suggestion won’t stick, and you may come out of hypnosis altogether. You are always in control and aware of your surroundings, and you can hear everything. Nothing happens without your consent, and the desired outcomes/goals are discussed extensively before trance work begins.
How are Self–Help Hypnosis downloads different from one-to-one Hypnotherapy Sessions, from Mini-Courses and/or Customized Helpnosis, and what is it?
Both hypnosis audio downloads in any format and one-to-one therapy are very effective. The main difference between them is that one-to-one sessions are highly customized to your world, which can create faster or more profound results. That being said, Self-Help Hypnosis downloads target specific issues and each is designed to help a specific type of personality. So, the majority of people who want to target that same specific issue, and who in general fit the profile of the person that it was created for, can certainly benefit greatly.
One more difference I can mention is that one-to-one sessions normally form one part of an overall course of therapy, which will be malleable and adaptable depending on what is discovered during the therapy sessions, etc. Hypnosis downloads are usually for simple one-off issues or after a specific, well-defined result. One-to-one sessions are ideal for people who have never had hypnotherapy before or for some more complex issues.
Mini-Courses can offer a variation on having a course of therapy with some predictable common obstacles for most people, where adaptability is offered by having audio recordings targeting the same issue from different perspectives and/or different stages of being resolved.
Customized Helpnosis is also a variation of one-to-one sessions where customization to your unique circumstances is applied. Having regular Customized Helpnosis could provide the closest match to one-to-one hypnotherapy sessions as recordings will be adapted to your needs and your progress as the therapy course goes on. The only downside of this format is that we would only have 20 minutes of Zoom call for every ordered Customized Helpnosis audio recording to get to know you, discuss the issue, give feedback, and decide on the next goal. Sometimes there is a need for you to talk to me while in a trance. Sometimes there is a need to do a session of discovery or a release of some sort, which will be best achieved during a one-to-one session. That’s why this option is ideal for someone who is already familiar with hypnosis, has had therapy before, and would like a budgeted option to experience the benefits of customized hypnosis.
Is it “mind control?”
No, hypnosis is not mind control. No one can be made to do anything they don’t want to do. If that was possible, there would be lots of articles everywhere exposing hypnosis, and hypnotists, including stage hypnotists, would be the richest, happiest people in the world. That’s obviously not the case. Hypnosis is a way to induce trance, which in essence is a way to communicate new learning and new behavior to the subconscious mind, but only those that have been vetted by the conscious mind of the client during the first therapeutic part of hypnotherapy can get through.
Will I remember what happened during a session?
You will be aware of everything, and you will remember everything. However, it may take a few days or weeks to fully process as there will be a lot of information, most of which will be new in some way. You will process it at a rate that is comfortable for you and fits your lifestyle. The exception is only when a state of somnambulism is achieved, which has happened in my practice and which is extremely beneficial. It happens with about 1 in 10 people, and those people can make a lot of positive changes in their life as they are considered to be extremely talented in experiencing hypnotic phenomena. Such a state, however, is very safe and may be perceived as falling asleep, and it doesn’t last longer than an hour.
Why don’t more people get hypnotherapy sessions or use self-hypnosis?
It depends where you live; for example, hypnosis is widely used in the UK and is recognized even by the NHS for its effectiveness for quitting smoking as well as other issues. It has also become more popular in the USA. For many people, hypnosis still seems somewhat unknown, and they feel uncertain about it, even though the benefits of using hypnotherapy are well documented by scientific journals, and a variety of studies, since the 1950s.
In the last 15 years, there has been a lot of recognition and praise of hypnotherapy for a variety of issues, including weight management, smoking cessation, anxiety, chronic pain management, IBS , and many more.
In 2017, hypnosis was used for the first time as the only anesthesia for deep brain surgery, to cure the trembling hands of a 73-year-old man in Germany.
Can hypnosis hurt me in any way?
Since hypnosis was discovered and recorded over 200 years ago, there are no records of hypnosis hurting anyone. Hypnosis can only be used in a positive way. If any suggestion is made that’s perceived as negative it won’t stick, and you will come out of the trance.
How quickly will I experience benefits/results from hypnosis?
Results from hypnosis can be experienced immediately or over a period of time. There are many factors that go into a successful course of hypnotherapy. One distinction that needs to be mentioned, hypnosis is not magic, it’s not done at you and suddenly all the problems are gone. You have to make a conscious effort to get better while the hypnotherapist helps with the subconscious. Working on both simultaneously is what gives the most profound and lasting results.
Giving Back
I believe in giving back to the community and helping those who need it. You can write to me if you have special circumstances and cannot afford the therapy even though it’s extremely important to your health, especially for issues related to anxiety, depression, as well as weight reduction for medical reasons. There will be a pre-determined amount of sessions, depending on each individual case.
Also, I have one spot in the 12-week Weight Reduction Program offered for free; this is available to someone with extenuating circumstances or medical reasons for needing to lose excess weight who cannot afford therapy. With this free spot, the program is for a maximum of eight people four times a year.
