I’m Neil Cox, a clinical hypnotherapist based in Hayle, Cornwall. For over a decade, I’ve helped people overcome the blocks that hold them back—whether that’s anxiety, insomnia, smoking, pain, or simply feeling stuck in life.
My style isn’t mystical or fluffy. I’m practical, straightforward, and focused on results. Every client I work with gets my full attention, and every session is tailored to what you need, not a one-size-fits-all script. My aim isn’t to keep you in therapy—it’s to get you moving forward with confidence, as quickly as feels right for you.
Why I Do This Work
I didn’t come to hypnotherapy from a textbook. I came to it because I needed help myself. Years ago, I was living with chronic pain that conventional medicine and alternative therapies couldn’t touch. My mental health spiralled—I was housebound at times, hospitalised once, and desperate for a way forward.
Turning to hypnosis was my last resort. To my surprise, it worked. Not only did it help me manage the pain, it gave me the tools to understand it—where it came from, how my mind was amplifying it, and how to move beyond it. That turning point didn’t just change my health; it changed the course of my life.
I retrained, qualified, and made it my mission to help others achieve the same freedom I found. That personal experience is why I’ll always approach your sessions with empathy, clarity, and a belief that change is absolutely possible.
My Approach
- Practical, not fluffy – You’ll always know why we’re doing something and how it works.
- Tailored to you – Every client is different. I adapt the techniques to fit your needs and personality.
- Focused on progress – Hypnotherapy is about moving forward, not staying stuck in the same old patterns.
- Cornish roots, global outlook – I work with people here in Hayle, across Cornwall, and online further afield.
What Clients Say
Over the years, I’ve helped people from all walks of life: teachers, tradespeople, parents, retirees, and professionals. Some wanted to stop smoking, others wanted to sleep better, many wanted relief from stress, anxiety, or habits that felt impossible to break.
What unites them is that they didn’t just talk about change—they experienced it. That’s the power of hypnotherapy when it’s personal, focused, and delivered with care.
Beyond the Therapy Room
When I’m not working with clients, I create resources that reach beyond the therapy chair. I share videos on how the brain works, write about sleep and mental health, and produce long-form hypnotherapy audios—including my 10-Day Cornish Sleep Reset Programme, which helps people all over the world reclaim natural, restorative sleep.
Why Choose Me
There are plenty of therapists out there. What makes me different is the combination of:
- Personal experience – I know what it’s like to sit in your chair. I’ve been there myself.
- Proven track record – More than 10 years helping people create meaningful, lasting change.
- Focused practice – I keep my client base deliberately small so I can give every person the attention they deserve.
- Local and personal – This isn’t a “conveyor belt” practice. You’ll always feel supported, understood, and listened to.
A Final Word
If you’re ready to break free from anxiety, habits, or patterns that are holding you back, I’d love to help. Hypnotherapy gave me my life back—and it could do the same for you.
