Hypnotherapy At The Manse Retreat
Where science meets the subconscious.
At The Manse Retreat, hypnotherapy isn’t about going into a trance, it’s about changing how the brain predicts, processes, and responds.
With almost 30 years of experience, Carl offers a modern, science-led approach to hypnosis that helps clients create lasting change through functional awareness, focus, and re-patterning.
A Predictive Brain, Not a Passive One
Modern neuroscience shows that the brain doesn’t just react, it predicts. Every feeling, behaviour and response is the brain’s best guess about what’s likely to happen next, based on memory and experience. When those predictions are built on outdated emotional patterns or past trauma, they can keep us locked in loops of anxiety, fear or limitation.
Hypnotherapy helps interrupt those loops, guiding the mind to make new predictions that align with who you are now, not who you were when the pattern formed.
A Functional Approach to Hypnosis
Carl’s work focuses on functional states, not fixed brainwave categories. Hypnosis isn’t a mystical state or a specific frequency, it’s a functional process of shifting attention and perception so that new possibilities can be formed.
Sessions are deeply engaging yet calm, helping you access a natural state of adaptability where real cognitive and emotional change occurs.
Seeing Change in Action
Using IBVA brainwave technology, Carl offers clients a visual representation of their mind in action. The IBVA doesn’t define hypnosis, it illustrates it, showing subtle shifts in focus, attention, and processing as the session unfolds.
It’s a powerful way to make the invisible visible, translating inner change into real-time, observable data.
What to Expect
Each session is uniquely tailored to your needs. There are no scripts or formulas, just a grounded, conversational approach that draws on decades of clinical insight and the latest understanding of how the mind works.
Sessions are available in person at The Manse Retreat, Northamptonshire or online, offering the same precision and care wherever you are.
