You’re Not Broken, You’re Just Living Inside an Old Story.
What if everything you’ve been trying to fix, the stress, the overthinking, the self-doubt, isn’t who you are, it’s who you learned to be.
Real change isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about understanding yourself.
When you understand how your mind works, you stop fighting it and start freeing yourself from the stories keeping you stuck.
I blend Hypnotherapy, NLP, and Deep Insight Coaching to help you understand and rewrite the unconscious programmes that drive anxiety/stress, self-doubt, and overthinking.
If you’re ready to uncover what’s really been running your life, let’s talk.
The Story Beneath the Surface
At some point, most of us forget who we really are.
We start living from the beliefs we inherited silent rules like:
“I’m not enough.”
“I can’t relax.”
“I have to hold it all together.”
These beliefs run beneath the surface, shaping our choices, relationships, and emotional state.
You might call it stress or anxiety.
I call it a protective pattern, your mind doing its best to keep you safe, even if it’s keeping you small.
The good news? Anything learned can be unlearned..
What I Do
I help you identify and release the unconscious beliefs that have been running your life and return to the calm, confident version of you that’s always been there underneath.
Integrating Hypnotherapy, NLP, and Deep Insight Coaching, we work directly with the part of your mind that stores these patterns, the unconscious.
This isn’t endless talk therapy or “positive thinking.”
It’s about transforming the story itself so your thoughts, emotions, and body naturally come back into alignment.
How It Works
Every session is a conversation with your unconscious mind.
Together, we uncover the hidden story driving your current challenge and update it.
1. Awareness — Identify the belief that’s keeping you in protection.
2. Alignment — Use Hypnotherapy & Deep Insight Coaching to dissolve the old program.
3. Embodiment — Reinforce the new pattern through self-hypnosis and integration tools.
4. Sovereignty — Reconnect with your natural sense of calm authority, where confidence and trust are effortless.
Most clients begin with the 4-Week Breakthrough Program, and for those ready to go deeper, continue into my Reclaimed Freedom Program, a full identity transformation experience.
Why This Approach Works
You’ve probably tried to think your way to change, reading, meditating, pushing through.
But the unconscious mind doesn’t respond to logic; it responds to safety, understanding, and permission.
Hypnotherapy allows you to speak directly to that part of you, the part that’s been quietly running the show all along.
When the unconscious mind updates its story, everything else changes automatically:
Thoughts quieten
The body relaxes
Confidence returns
You stop fighting yourself
That’s not magic, that’s alignment.
Who This Is For
This work is for professionals, leaders, and high achievers who:
Feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, burnout, or overthinking.
Have lost trust in themselves after setbacks or big life changes.
Have done “the work” but still feel something deeper holding them back.
Want real freedom, not just coping strategies.
If you’re ready to stop performing for approval and start living your truth, this work is for you.

IBS Relief With Gut Directed Hypnotherapy
Relief from IBS, Reclaim Calm from the Inside Out
Living with IBS can feel relentless, with stomach pain, bloating, cramps, constipation, and that constant need to stay close to a toilet. It’s more than physical discomfort; it’s the stress, frustration, and mental fatigue that come with it.
The good news? Your gut and mind are deeply connected, and when we calm the body’s stress response, the gut can begin to settle too.
How Hypnotherapy Helps
Gut Directed Hypnotherapy works by calming the nervous system and reprogramming your body’s automatic responses to stress.
It doesn’t just mask the symptoms; it helps you retrain the way your gut and mind communicate.Through this work, you’ll:
✓ Relax deeply and ease symptoms triggered by stress or anxiety
✓ Learn simple but powerful visualisation tools to calm your digestive system
✓ Build emotional regulation and internal safety so your body can unwind
✓ Regain a sense of confidence, control, and trust in your body again
This approach is grounded in decades of research — including the work of Professor Peter Whorwell (Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester), whose studies found that hypnotherapy can help up to 80% of people reduce IBS symptoms significantly.
The IBS Relief Program
5 sessions over 12 weeks
Each session combines guided hypnotherapy with practical self-regulation tools you can use at home. From the very first session, most people notice improvements both physically and emotionally.By the end of the program, you’ll not only understand how to manage your symptoms but also how to create calm and confidence from within.
Program Investment: $830 (5 sessions over 12 weeks)

• Two-thirds of sufferers are women, typically aged 25–45
• For around 25% of people, medication alone doesn’t bring enough relief
• Studies show hypnotherapy can be as effective as a low FODMAP diet without the food restrictions and also works on the noetic elements involved with IBS symptoms
• It’s been used for nearly 40 years as a proven complementary therapy for IBSReady to Feel Free Again?

About James Colliton
Coach & Hypnotherapist for Unconscious Belief Transformation
After losing almost everything I’d built my marriage, my work, my confidence, I was forced to face the uncomfortable truth:
My pain wasn’t caused by circumstance. It was caused by the story I was living.
Through deep inner work, I rebuilt from the inside out and discovered how much of our suffering is self-created through unconscious belief.
Today, I help others make that same shift.
Not by adding more to who they are, but by releasing what’s never been true in the first place.

I'm a hypnotherapist dedicated to empowering motivated individuals who are ready to improve their quality of life. Through the use of hypnosis and other effective techniques, I guide people in reshaping their emotions, thoughts, and responses to life's challenges.
My specialisation lies in brief and solution-focused hypnotherapy, this approach differs from traditional talk therapy or analysis. Rather than merely discussing issues, we delve deep into the unconscious mind, identifying and modifying those automatic patterns that hold you back. The result? You regain control over areas of your life that once seemed out of control.
I genuinely relish every moment of this meaningful work, as it's the positive changes people make, changes they once thought impossible, that truly inspire me.

Past pain, both physical and mental, holds personal significance for all of us. We've all faced challenging moments in our lives, and I'm no exception. These tough times are where growth happens, and fear becomes a teacher – and I'm no different.
While I won't claim that everyone must endure life's lows to assist others on their journeys, personal experiences do grant us a deeper understanding. Along our paths, we encounter remarkable individuals who share a common bond, offering support and inspiration. These encounters have shown me that everyone, including you, deserves the best possible life.
My exploration, through study and practice, has led me to understand the power of the unconscious mind. Now, I work alongside my clients, guiding them to access their unconscious and make the changes they need to become the best versions of themselves.

FAQs
-
Hypnosis is simply ideas evoking responses. The hypnotic method is a refinement of everyday communication designed to increase the likelihood that expressed ideas will evoke their intended responses. As such, hypnosis may or may not involve trance. Trance is merely an effect.
-
Hypnotherapy utilises the heightened awareness of the hypnotic trance state to deliver therapeutic suggestions to create positive changes in the form of new attitudes, behaviours, feelings and symptoms.
During a hypnotherapy session, people are guided through a process (hypnotisation) to induce a trance-like state that helps them focus their minds, and respond more readily to therapeutic suggestions (hypnosis).
The power to transform your life lies within you.
-
Hypnotherapy is effective because it works at the unconscious level. As a hypnotherapist, I utilise the hypnotic trance state to bypass the critical faculty, that part of your consciousness that stops messages from automatically being accepted by the unconscious. This allows the delivery of therapeutic suggestions to create positive changes in the form of new attitudes, behaviours, feelings and symptoms, directed to the unconscious.
-
Clients often describe the hypnotic state as being fully aware of what is happening while being completely relaxed and supported throughout the entire process.
You experience a trance-like state every day, like watching a movie and becoming so absorbed in the plot, or driving a familiar route and arriving at your destination unaware of the journey.
Chances are you have already been in a hypnotic trance state multiple times today, you just didn’t know it until now
-
Almost everybody can be hypnotised; it is your willingness to engage in the hypnotic process that will determine your success. This is because all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. The level of hypnotic intensity and effectiveness achieved is up to you. It is a direct correlation between you and James working together. You are in TOTAL control of your experience.
-
Yes. During your session of hypnotherapy, you have full control of your thoughts, words and actions. You cannot be made to do anything against your will or belief system.
-
Positive side effects can begin immediately by allowing your mind and body to relax and let go of stress.
You may be aware of subtle, but powerful differences, in the way you think, feel and behave after your session.
-
When used in the therapeutic setting, hypnotherapy is an effective healing tool in the management, reduction or removing the triggers that cause phobias, fears, traumas, habits, and limiting Beliefs and is particularly useful in reducing the effects of anxiety and chronic pain and IBS.
-
Everybody is unique and their individual circumstances will need to be considered when deciding how many sessions may be required. Some issues can be resolved in one session, however, in most cases, a client will gain maximum benefit from three, four or more sessions.
-
As with any medical or therapeutic process, there can be no definite guarantees. No surgeon will or can guarantee their work and results. This is no different from James’ hypnotherapy programs. Hypnotherapy programs are reliant on ‘you’ the client. You will be required to be 100% committed & motivated. In return, James guarantees he will do his best to help you.
