Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Release yourself from the embarrassment  and inconvenience

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a functional bowel disorder of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It’s a chronic condition that seems to be affecting more people with about one in six people in the UK having typical symptoms (that’s about 5-8 million people). Even whilst reading this, you may be surprised at just how many people around you often suffer in silence. It can last from a few months to a few years, and appear intermittently without obvious reason.

The symptoms and the severity may vary for you, but the most common ones you may be experiencing are:

  • Bowel habits that can alternate between constipation and diarrhoea
  • Bloating
  • Indigestion
  • Noisy, rumbling stomach
  • Nausea
  • Passing of wind


How can we help
Well to start, studies in the US and UK have shown the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in controlling and reducing symptoms.This has led to several leading NHS medical specialists now using hypnotherapy with their clients. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines for treating IBS (2008) identified hypnotherapy as an effective, endorsable treatment, so over the coming years, hypnotherapy could become one of the first line interventions for tackling IBS.

So the multi-disciplined approach looks at the whole of you to:

  • Identify and overcome the causes of your IBS
  • Reduce stress levels
  • Increase relaxation
  • Increase your motivation and confidence to change
  • Empower you with self help techniques to maintain the generative change process
