Hello, I’m Mary Galanis
As an accredited Strategic Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist, passionate about helping you navigate and resolve life’s challenges with a practical yet compassionate approach. I understand how anxieties, phobias and traumas can leave you feeling debilitated, overwhelmed, with deep physical and emotional limitations. I aim to empower you with the tools and treatments that are required to heal and regain control.
With a focus on tangible results, I offer personalised treatment plans using a variety of proven methods like Hypnosis, EMDR for trauma, Psychotherapy, and Somatic Healing, ensuring your holistic well-being is always at the centre of our work together.
Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy are recognised by medical professionals as proven, safe, and effective methods for treating limiting beliefs and many other issues. My goal is to empower you, offering tailored treatments to help you to regain peace of mind, quickly and effectively.
When I’m not helping clients, I enjoy spending time with my two adult daughters, practising yoga, and relaxing with my two cats. I believe in continuous growth—both in my personal life and in my practice—always striving to help you become a well-balanced and the best version of yourself.
We work together on your tailored treatment for your unique journey to better wellness.
Here’s to better and better.
Transform Your Life with Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a safe and guided process that allows you to enter a relaxed but alert state. You are not asleep, and you do not lose control. Instead, your conscious mind quietens, making room for positive suggestions to be absorbed by your subconscious.
This process helps to reshape old patterns, allowing new ways of thinking and behaving to take hold. Many clients describe it as both calming and empowering.
