Hypnotherapy in Leicester
If you have found your way here, something has probably brought you to a point where you are wondering whether there is another way through.
Has anxiety taken over your life? Are you struggling to sleep, moving through dark nights of the soul, carrying something you cannot quite name, only feel a weight, a pattern, a place inside you that ordinary talking has not quite reached?
Hypnosis can reach it.
I am Alexia Elliott, a hypnotherapist and sacred practitioner based in Leicester, working with people who are ready to move beyond managing their experience and into genuinely transforming it. Anxiety is at the heart of much of what I work with, because I believe it underlies almost everything, when we regulate our nervous system and find our way back to a calmer, more centred place, everything else becomes more possible. The traditional approach is to shut anxiety down, push through it, perhaps medicate it into silence. That is not what we do here.
My work draws on Ericksonian hypnosis, a conversational, collaborative approach that works with your unconscious mind rather than trying to override it, woven together with depth psychology, NLP, and over two decades of shamanic practice. What this creates, in a session of hypnotherapy in Leicester with me, is a quality of deep, supported attention: a slowing down that allows the parts of you that have been holding on very tightly to begin, at last, to soften.
What hypnosis can help with
People come to me for hypnotherapy in Leicester for many different reasons. Anxiety that has become a permanent background hum. Sleep that will not come, or that comes but brings no rest. Patterns in relationship or behaviour that feel impossible to shift through willpower alone. Old stories about who you are and what you deserve that were written a long time ago by someone who did not have the full picture.
Hypnosis works well where the mind and body are involved together which, in truth, is almost everything that matters.
How I work
My 1:1 sessions draw on Ericksonian hypnosis, Jungian depth psychology, NLP, and shamanic practice, held within what I call Sacred Alchemy, a way of working that honours the wholeness of who you are rather than treating a symptom in isolation. Sessions take place in Leicester and online.

Working with me
I work with a small number of 1:1 clients at any one time, which means the work is genuinely personal and the space is genuinely held. If you are curious about whether hypnotherapy in Leicester with me might be the right fit, the warmest next step is simply to get in touch.
