Dr. Rhiannon Lewis
Creating safe spaces for transformation, where professional excellence meets compassionate care.
Medical Doctor & Qualified Hypnotherapist
Dr. Rhiannon Lewis is a medical doctor with experience in emergency medicine, general practice, psychiatry, and palliative care, giving her sound understanding of how stress, illness, and life challenges affect both physical and mental wellbeing.
Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapy is helpful for a range of conditions. I offer in person or online sessions that cover:
Solution-focused Hypnotherapy
A structured, evidence based approach to create positive, lasting change
This is a gentle approach that combines talking therapy with the natural, relaxing state of hypnosis to create positive, lasting change. Instead of dwelling on problems, the focus is on strengths, resources and the small steps to move you forward. This approach helps you build confidence and resilience and find a clearer path to the life you want.
Medical Hypnotherapy
Safe, evidence-based support to complement your healthcare and wellbeing
Medical hypnotherapy can provide valuable support alongside conventional healthcare. Research shows that it can help with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic pain, and stress-related health problems. It offers a safe, complementary way to support your wellbeing and quality of life alongside your existing medical care.
Phobias, Confidence boosting and Mindset
Practical techniques to overcome phobias, improve confidence and focus on what you want to achieve
Whether you want to build confidence, overcome fears, or break free from limiting beliefs, hypnotherapy can support positive change, reframe unhelpful thinking and reconnect with calm, confidence and balance in everyday life. Sessions are designed to focus on solutions, not problems, and help you feel more capable, empowered, and ready to step into your best self.
Stress, anxiety and burnout
Structured support to manage stress, reduce anxiety and restore calm and balance
Hypnotherapy can help calm the nervous system, reduce unhelpful thought patterns and restore a sense of balance when life feels unmanageable. Hypnotherapy offers a supportive space to feel calmer, more in control and to work towards restoration and recovery.
Trauma, PTSD, grief and bereavement
Gentle compassionate therapy to help you heal and move forward
Experiences of trauma, loss or bereavement can feel overwhelming and difficult to process. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, supportive way to reduce distress, calm intrusive thoughts, use effective techniques to neutralise overwhelming emotional responses and give you the tools to move forward whilst honouring your experiences. With compassion and care, you can find strength, stability and hope for the future.

Emotional eating and weight management
Break free from unhelpful patterns and feel more in control
Food and emotions are closely linked, and hypnotherapy can help shift unhelpful patterns around eating. By addressing habits at a deeper level, you will work towards healthier behaviours, improved self-control, and greater wellbeing.
Clinical Hypnotherapy Practice
In recent years, Dr. Lewis has integrated clinical hypnotherapy into her practice, working with both NHS and private patients. Her medical background allows her to offer evidence-based hypnotherapy that works alongside conventional medical treatments, helping patients to find practical relief, understand how the mind and body work, and create positive change.
Treatment Approach
Dr. Lewis tailors each session to individual needs, whether addressing anxiety, building resilience, or working through grief. She maintains a professional, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable and remain in control throughout their treatment.

"I highly recommend Dr Rhiannon Lewis, in fact I can’t rate her highly enough. From the very first session, her expertise, professionalism and empathetic manner, allowed me to relax and trust her completely.
She has made a massive difference to my thinking, behaviour and way of life. I will be forever grateful to her. If you’re lucky enough to have the benefit of her services, you’re in safe, competent and highly skilled hands."
"Listening to the track distracts an overactive mind, takes me to a safe place and relaxes my thoughts and tensions. Dr Rhiannon's tone is so calming and instantly puts me in a relaxed mode."
"My mind and body were overloaded with extreme stress and anxiety. Dr Rhiannon helped me recognise that my ‘bucket was full’ and guided me to create space again. Through hypnotherapy, she brought me into a deep state of relaxation, focus, and visualisation, instilling a sense of tranquillity and complete rest.
I felt safe and at ease throughout every session, and I always felt truly listened to. Dr Rhiannon’s sensitive, understanding approach made all the difference, and I cannot thank her enough for supporting me through such a difficult time."
"I came to Rhiannon with a very specific problem. I was at an impasse with a very large piece of work and it had been causing me distress for a long time. I had tried many different ways around it. Within one session Rhiannon's hypnotherapy changed how I thought about, felt about, and approached this very long-standing issue. I couldn't believe it. I don't believe in magic, but this was as close as I have ever felt to it. The transformation was incredible."

"Rhiannon's approach is clear, kind, and backed up with research, something which I really appreciated. She explained the theory behind the "magic", which really helped me to trust in and follow the process. I felt that she truly listened and understood me in terms of how I think and what I needed. I have recommended Rhiannon to everyone I have spoken to who has been struggling."
"Rhiannon has a calm, thoughtful approach that helped me feel recognised and understood from the outset. Our sessions were practical and supportive, I always came away feeling more grounded and better able to manage whatever was ahead that week, even through very challenging periods. I still use the techniques she shared with me, and wouldn’t hesitate to return if I needed support again. I’d recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a safe and effective space to work through life’s challenges."
Hypnotherapy, Backed by Research
"Forget everything you think you know about hypnosis from stage shows. Clinical hypnotherapy is a structured, evidence-based therapeutic process that creates real, measurable changes in the brain. Brain scans reveal something remarkable: during hypnotherapy, your brain's worry centre quietens down while areas responsible for focus, problem-solving, and relaxation light up with increased activity. You remain fully awake and in control throughout.
What makes hypnotherapy so effective is how it works with your brain's natural abilities. When your attention is focused in this relaxed, guided state, it becomes much easier to imagine new possibilities and mentally rehearse positive changes. Instead of dwelling on problems and what’s wrong, your mind naturally shifts toward solution-focused patterns and what’s possible.
The research speaks for itself. Clinical studies consistently show that hypnotherapy helps reduce chronic pain, stress, and anxiety while improving sleep quality, breaking unwanted habits, and building confidence. It's proven so effective that the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) now officially recommends hypnotherapy for treating irritable bowel syndrome. Studies also demonstrate significant improvements in anxiety symptoms and overall quality of life, making it a valuable complement to traditional medical care."
