At the root, not at the surface

Many habits and fears sit deeper than a good resolution reaches: the hand that reaches for a cigarette, the thoughts that circle at night, the doubt before big moments. That is exactly where hypnosis begins: not with the symptom, but with the need behind it.

I am a psychologist from Berlin. I learned hypnosis early in my career and have worked with people for more than twenty years. My audios bring that experience to your home as guided self-hypnosis: calmly spoken, carefully built, and yours to listen to as often as you like.

No lectures, no pressure. You make yourself comfortable and listen. The practice does the rest.

Strong and Free: stop smoking without the fight

A two-part hypnosis programme. Part One, The Good Feeling, is free: you get it by email and listen whenever you like. Part Two, The Decision, is the audio you start when you are ready to stop.

No. Part One asks nothing of you except twenty quiet minutes. You may even still be smoking.

Will I lose control in hypnosis?

No. You stay aware the whole time and can open your eyes or stop whenever you wish.

What about the accent?

I am German, and you will hear it. Most listeners describe the voice as calm and professional. The sample decides.
