James was great. He is straight-talking, direct – and also very kind, responsive, open; and over the course of these two sessions he introduced me to some wonderful tools and practices… Now I can get on with having fun being authentic… even if I do have an audience 🙂

How Can Hypnotherapy Help You?
I understand that if you’re here, it’s probably not your first attempt to sort your issue out.
You may have thought it through endlessly, tried therapy, read books, used apps, maybe even tried medication, or told yourself you should be able to deal with it.
And still the same reaction keeps showing up.
Sound familiar?
That’s often because anxiety, panic, phobias, habits and other unwanted responses aren’t driven by logic alone. They’re emotional and automatic.
Please do have hope. I’ve seen thousands of people change for the better, and I genuinely hope I can help you too.
Here’s how hypnotherapy helps you change
1.
Stop the past affecting you
A bad meeting, your first panic attack or a frightening flight can still affect how you feel today. We identify the experiences behind the problem and change how they make you feel. You’ll still remember what happened. It just won’t impact you the same way anymore.
2.
You regain calm and control
We use a range of hypnotherapy techniques to help you feel calmer and more in control. I’ll also teach you ways to shift your own emotional state, so you can turn the dial down yourself when you need to.
3.
Feel different when it matters
The real test is what happens afterwards. Staying calm in the meeting. Getting on the plane. Speaking without freezing. Walking past cigarettes without wanting one. That’s what hypnotherapy aims to do.
Staying calm in the meeting. Getting on the plane. Staying calm in the meeting. Getting on the plane. Staying calm in the meeting. Getting on the plane. Staying calm in the meeting. Getting on the plane.
Speaking without freezing. Walking past cigarettes without wanting one. Speaking without freezing. Walking past cigarettes without wanting one. Speaking without freezing. Walking past cigarettes without wanting one. Speaking without freezing. Walking past cigarettes without wanting one.
Meet James Mallinson
Clinical Hypnotherapist in Holborn, London, and Fix My Mind Co-founder
Hello, I’m James.
I understand how daunting it can feel to seek help, as I was once in your shoes.
In 2006, I needed help with an issue of my own and hesitantly booked a session with a hypnotherapist. It changed my life and inspired me to retrain in Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP.
Competence matters enormously to me, which is why I trained for over 2,000 hours before seeing my first client, and why I’m registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register and the National Hypnotherapy Society (below).
Since then, I’ve completed more than 10,500 clinical hours as a London hypnotherapist.
Whether it’s anxiety, panic attacks, a phobia, fear of public speaking or smoking, meaningful change can happen quickly, usually in two 90-minute sessions. Most of my clients are busy London professionals who want this sorted quickly and quietly.
What 10,500 hours have taught me: the problem is rarely a lack of understanding. You know the plane is safe and the cigarette is doing you harm. What you’re up against is a response that fires on its own, and that is what we change.

Hypnotherapy Session
If you’re ready, change starts with one small step: a simple phone call. After that, you decide how big a leap you want to take.
We start with a free 20-minute conversation. You can tell me what’s happening, ask questions and decide whether working together feels right. If there’s a date in your diary, a flight, a speech, an interview, say so and I’ll do my best to see you before it.
Before your session
You’ll complete a detailed questionnaire before we meet. That means I already understand your history, patterns, triggers and goals before the session starts, so we use our time properly.
During your session
Each session lasts up to 90 minutes, considerably more than a traditional 50-minute therapy hour, so we can do focused work. I’ll use whichever techniques will help you most. You remain fully aware and in control throughout.
Afterwards
You won’t suddenly become a different person. The aim is to help you feel more like yourself again. The real measure is everyday life: an old trigger no longer gets the same reaction.

"I hadn't flown for 15 years… I have tried many therapies in the past including a course run by a popular airline. None of them worked… The sessions felt practical, engaging and genuinely life changing."

How many sessions will I need?
Most clients achieve their goals in two 90-minute sessions. Some issues, such as smoking and specific phobias, can change even faster.
How much does hypnotherapy cost in London?
A 90-minute session is £320 + VAT; most clients need one or two. Stopping smoking is a single session at £390 + VAT. The 20-minute consultation is free, and if I don’t think I can help, I’ll say so then.
Will I be asleep, or lose control?
No. You remain fully aware and in control throughout. It’s a focused state, not sleep, and I won’t ‘put you under’ like you might have seen on TV.
Can hypnotherapy help with anxiety?
Yes, and it’s what most people come to me for. We work on the automatic response underneath the anxiety, not just the thoughts, and most anxiety clients need two 90-minute sessions. There’s a full page on hypnotherapy for anxiety.
Do you offer online hypnotherapy as well as face-to-face London appointments?
Yes. Sessions can be in person at my London practice in Holborn, or online over Zoom. The treatment is exactly the same, and you can expect the same results.
Where is your London hypnotherapy practice?
23 Southampton Place, Holborn, WC1A 2BP: a two-minute walk from Holborn tube and a stone’s throw from the British Museum. Directions and parking are in the section above.
Can you guarantee results?
I’ll put 100% effort into working with you, and the techniques I use are very powerful. But success varies from client to client and there can be no guarantees. I’d run a mile from a hypnotherapist who offers one.
What are the downsides of hypnotherapy?
It doesn’t work for everyone, and it isn’t a substitute for medical care. Some people feel tired after a session. If I think you need something other than hypnotherapy, I’ll say so on the free call.
