Professional Clinical Hypnotherapy in Stoke-on-Trent & Online
Specialising in Emotional Eating & Weight Management for Professional Women
Plus expert help with anxiety, phobias, stopping smoking, sleep issues & more
I'm Phillip Evans, a clinical hypnotherapist with a unique background: 30+ years in education, including roles as Deputy Headteacher and Headteacher.
That experience taught me something important about high-pressure careers – the toll they take, and why willpower alone so often fails when it comes to food, stress, and unwanted habits.
Today, I specialise in helping professional women break free from emotional eating and weight struggles. It's work I find deeply rewarding, because I understand the pressures they face from the inside.
But hypnotherapy is a remarkably versatile tool.
I also work with clients on anxiety, fears and phobias, stopping smoking, sleep issues, stress, and much more. Whether you're struggling with something specific or simply feel stuck, hypnotherapy can help you make lasting changes at the unconscious level – where real transformation happens.
I offer sessions online across the UK and in person at my practice close to Stoke-on-Trent.

My training includes diplomas in Professional Hypnotherapy and Advanced Hypnotherapy and Coaching, accredited by the NCH and GHR, plus certification with MMHA. I'm a member of both the IHA and ICBCH, which keeps me connected to the latest developments in the field.

How could hypnotherapy help you?
Weight Management for Professional Women
You don't need another diet. You need to address why you eat when you're not hungry.
My 4-session programme is designed for women who:
Can't stop the evening eating cycle
"Self-sabotage" every time they make progress
Have tried every diet; and they all worked, until they didn't
Know what they "should" do but can't seem to do it
As a former Headteacher, I understand demanding careers and why willpower fails by 4pm. This programme addresses emotional eating at its source; no calorie counting, no public weigh-ins, no ongoing dependency.
Fears and Phobias
Whether it's flying, public speaking, spiders, or something else entirely, that overwhelming response is automatic, not logical. Through hypnotherapy, we access your subconscious to neutralise these triggers and reprogram your reaction completely.
A specific fear or phobia is typically traced back to a past sensitising experience that once identified can be neutralised quickly and completely. Most clients experience complete phobia resolution in just 1 or 2 sessions.
Anxiety
Anxiety isn't about what's happening now; it's deeply rooted patterns in your subconscious mind that keep you trapped in automated 'worry loops'. Those racing thoughts, that constant overwhelm, the feeling of being stuck are all your brain running protection programs that aren’t helping you. Through hypnotherapy, we access your unconscious mind to rewire these automated patterns at their source.
Stop Smoking
Your brain developed that smoking habit for valid reasons; perhaps to ease stress, feel more at ease in social situations, or handle challenging emotions. Hypnotherapy recognises those underlying needs and helps you meet them in healthier, more effective ways. Instead of relying on willpower to fight cravings, you'll learn proven, neuroscience-based methods to quickly eliminate cravings. You’ll move beyond being someone trying to quit and naturally become a non-smoker.
Sleep Issues
My sleep restoration programme transforms your sleep through a powerful blend of hypnotherapy, NLP, and calming techniques inspired by Eastern medicine, working together to retrain your mind's 'stuck sleep patterns at their source'. Unlike generic treatments, this is tailored to your unique sleep challenges, identifying and replacing the unconscious patterns like racing thoughts or nighttime anxiety that keep you awake.
