Exeter Hypnotherapy with Will Williams 01392 258990
I’m just so excited...everything has been going great! I honestly didn’t believe I would feel this different after one session. People I have known for years keep saying 'you look really well' and I don’t look any different so it must just be the way that I am now. I will definitely be booking another appointment as I would like to explore it all a bit more and continue to find out how my mind works."

About me
I am a registered, accredited, certified Hypnotherapist based near the Quay in Exeter. Having studied Psychology, Neuroscience, NLP, and worked as a Stop Smoking Specialist for the NHS, my approach is down-to-earth, practical and client-centred. I have also trained with the excellent Hypnotherapist Gil Boyne in California, and Ernest Rossi in London. I would describe my work as subconscious psychology.
Why hypnotherapy works
You have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. Whilst you may aspire to conscious goals and ideals, the subconscious mind is the feeling mind, generating all of your automatic impulses, thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Often, as a result of faulty subconscious programming during childhood or adult life, you can acquire patterns that just aren't useful - such as anxiety, phobias, addictions, habits, or poor self-worth.
But your subconscious is there to help you - so with a little re-education and re-programming, you can utlilise its power in a far more positive direction.
What I can provide
My work consists of a mixture of the following:
Providing understanding, perspectives and insights based on subconscious dynamics that generate new awareness, realisations and solutions
Re-educating the conscious and subconscious mind to overcome false beliefs and associations that were acting as barriers
Offering positive suggestions both consciously and subconsciously where they can take effect
Providing conscious skills for greater self-awareness and self-control
Direction and a confidential environment for emotional release
Tuition and training in self-hypnosis
What I don't provide
Miracles! Whilst hypnotherapy can be very powerful and rapid, it has nothing to do with the old-fashioned ideas of hypnosis that people have absorbed from movies. Anyone expecting to be put into a mystical sleep, and given suggestions for their problem to disappear within minutes should know its a lot more involved than that.
Goals. Whilst I can suggest some good ideas, I can't tell you what you want. Its important that you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve - open ended or vague notions for self-improvement can lead to therapeutic dependency which I don't encourage!
Guarantees. I can't guarantee your results anymore than an author can guarantee their book will 'change your life'. I provide my knowledge, expertise and direction, but you are also very much an active participant. The amount of work that is needed varies between people and situations, and some require more hypnotic training than others.
Some example situations that I work with
These examples are by no means exhaustive!
Weight loss - which can involve subconscious training for greater self-control, motivational and confidence boosts, uncovering and changing roots of a negative self-image or expectancies.
Smoking cessation - re-education about how nicotine addiction really works, providing subconscious learning and techniques for greater self-control, subconscious programming for new automatic assocations.
Low self-esteem - uncovering negative programming whether from childhood, adult life, bad relationships etc. Directing emotional release and fears to liberate positive self-belief.
Anxiety - uncovering causes, training self-awareness and self-control, training in self-hypnosis, subconscious programming.
I don't work with everyone!
I can't accept every challenge that is presented, for example where pathology may be indicated. I also don't work with people I don't think would be open and responsive, such as when spouses are dragged along to stop smoking!
I do not accept chronic depression cases. Often what feels like depression is actually mis-defined anxiety, fear or a subconscious belief that 'I don't deserve to be happy', and this is something I may be able to work with. I'm willing to discuss your situation if you need clarification on this.
I don't work with 'existential bleakness' where the goal is 'to find a goal'. This is a more a problem of human philosophy than psychology, and part of everyone's individual journey.
I sometimes reject cases or offer advice contrary to seeking hypnotherapy where I believe it isn't suitable. Examples are wanting to 'tolerate sexual jealousy' because a partner is constantly having affairs (clearly something else is needed to restore 'balance' to the relationship) or wanting to control anger because of noisy neighbours (again, something where the solution isn't really about psychological growth).
The cost of sessions
General hypnotherapy or relaxation sessions cost £50 for the first session (up to ninety minutes) and £40 for any subsequent sessions. This does not include Stop Smoking Sessions, or phobias (call for details). Sometimes one session is all it takes, depending on your situation.
Its cheap!
Hypnotherapy is incomparable to anything else you might spend your money on. Positive changes can affect your life, and what is the value of enjoying your life more? Or, put in another way,
What might be the cost of not using hypnotherapy to resolve your issue? You can only guess.
It costs more per hour in labour charges to have someone work on your car!

Intuitive and dynamic solutions...
Whether you are looking to resolve inner conflicts, gain self-control or simply learn about your own mind, I realise that your own situation is totally unique. That is why I don't promise just a quick-fix or a psychological band-aid. I use an excellent range of resources including analytical therapy, conflict resolution, subconscious exploration, NLP, EMDR, neuro-associative conditioning, time-lines, suggestion therapy and abstract imagery. I want your personal journey of change and self-awareness to continue long after you leave my relaxing practice room. And who knows how you will surprise yourself.
Approachable and down-to-earth...

A wise investment for change...
Sessions cost £50 for the first session (which may run up to ninety minutes) and then £40 for subsequent one hour sessions. This does not include Stop Smoking Sessions. Remember, sometimes one session is all it takes.
Although much can be accomplished in an hour, up to six sessions may be needed to fully explore and resolve issues, depending on your individual needs. This is of course flexible, and you do not need to book them all in advance. Quite frequently people enjoy great success in just a single session.
