For the habits that willpower has never quite settled

Some patterns do not respond to knowing better, because they were never built by the part of you that knows things. They were learned below conscious thought, which is where clinical hypnotherapy is able to work.

Under hypnosis the critical, arguing part of the mind quietens enough for the underlying association to be addressed directly. You remain fully aware and in control throughout — it is closer to absorbed concentration than to sleep, and nothing happens without your cooperation.

Stuart is a DMH Master Hypnotist and DHyp Clinical Hypnotherapist, registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register, and holds advanced qualifications in smoking cessation and weight control. Sessions run at 1 Harley Street or online.

Client stories

What clients say

4.9 out of 5 from 209 ratings — Stuart Downing Client Reviews, verified by Trusted Practitioner

I began working with Stuart during a time when my impulse control felt overwhelming and, at times, unmanageable. Having tried several other therapists first, it was clear that Stuart's approach was both thoughtful and tailored—grounded in traditional therapeutic techniques but enhanced with hypnotherapy in a way that felt natural rather than experimental. What stood out most was his ability to create a space that felt safe without being passive. He didn't just listen; he helped me understand the underlying patterns driving my behaviour. Over time, I noticed real, measurable changes—not just in my behaviour, but in how I processed urges and emotions. This wasn't a quick fix, and Stuart never pretended it would be. But his consistency, skill, and ability to blend different methods made a lasting difference. I now feel far more in control of my decisions. I would strongly recommend Stuart to anyone struggling with impulse-related challenges, especially if you're open to a more integrative approach that goes beyond standard talk therapy.

I decided I needed to seek help after I accepted that I had a problem with gambling. I went through all the usual measures like banning myself online but I always managed to find a way or a reason to gamble. I had heard of hypnotherapy and thought this might be the best approach. The money I invested has saved me thousands. I have learnt that it is never too late to make a positive change and couldn't be happier with my life. I could not recommend and thank Stuart enough — he has genuinely transformed my life!

— Harry

I cannot thank Stuart enough for the incredible support and guidance he has given me over the past couple of years. Stuart has a remarkable ability to ask the right questions, offer insightful perspectives and gently challenge me when needed — all while creating a space of trust and comfort. His professionalism and unwavering support has helped me navigate some of my most difficult moments and I've grown so much because of our work together. After trying many therapists, Stuart has been the one who genuinely cares the most and listens without judgement. I highly recommend Stuart as I am so grateful to have him.

— Emilia

Before I started working with Stuart, I had just moved into a completely new professional environment after almost 30 years in the same establishment, and it coincided with several personal challenges. I suddenly felt as though everything in my life was unfamiliar, unstable and uncertain. From the very first session, Stuart's skills, patience, calmness and ability to listen made an immediate difference. He helped me feel grounded, understood and safe enough to engage. Over the past 12 months, our sessions have continued to be transformative. He has given me invaluable tools to protect my emotional wellbeing, especially in demanding professional situations. Working with him has genuinely changed my life for the better. I cannot recommend him highly enough — if you are considering working with Stuart, do not hesitate. He will make a meaningful difference to your present and future.
