When pain has become the thing your day revolves around, you need an approach that works with your mind as well as your body. Barry’s method helps reduce the grip of pain so you can reclaim more of your day.
or call 01255 886875
Pain is not just a physical signal — it is an experience that the brain constructs, and that construction is influenced by attention, expectation, memory and emotional state. Hypnosis works with those mental dimensions of pain, which is why it has been used in clinical pain management for over a century and is supported by thousands of peer-reviewed studies.
Barry’s pain relief hypnosis sessions are not a substitute for medical care. They are a complementary approach for people whose pain has been assessed medically and who want to reduce the impact it has on their daily life. He works with the experience of pain — its grip on attention, its effect on mood and sleep, the anticipatory dread of flare-ups — rather than claiming to address the underlying physical cause.
Sessions are available in person in Essex or online. The free first call is the right starting point — Barry will hear what your pain situation looks like and give you an honest assessment of what hypnosis is likely to contribute.
How It Works
Three steps between pain running your day and you running it again.
Free Consultation Call
It starts with a free phone conversation about your pain — where it sits, what treatment you have already had, what a good day and a bad day look like. Barry is straightforward about what hypnosis can and cannot do for pain, so you can decide on solid ground.
Book Your First Session
Next, book your session at the Little Oakley practice, or online if travelling aggravates things. It is a one-to-one appointment of an hour to ninety minutes, unhurried from start to finish.
Start Living Without Pain Running the Day
Barry works with the pain experience at the level the mind processes it — the amplification, the catastrophising, the way chronic pain colours everything else in the day. Using hypnosis, he helps modulate those mental processes so that pain signals register differently. This does not mean ignoring pain or pretending it isn’t there. It means changing how much of your attention and energy it commands.

Common Questions
Can hypnosis actually reduce pain?
Hypnosis for pain management is backed by substantial clinical evidence. It works with the brain’s processing of pain rather than the underlying physical cause. Many people experience a meaningful reduction in pain intensity and its daily impact. Results vary and Barry makes no guarantees.
Do I need a medical referral to attend?
No. Barry works with people whose pain has been medically assessed and where no further investigation is indicated. He recommends that unexplained or new pain is seen by a GP first. Hypnosis is a complementary approach, not a substitute for medical care.
Can hypnotherapy help with pain from a specific condition?
It depends on the condition and the nature of the pain. Barry has worked with pain arising from a range of conditions. The free call is the place to discuss your specific situation and get an honest assessment.
How many sessions does pain relief work involve?
Pain work varies with the chronicity and complexity of the condition. Some people notice significant improvement in three to five sessions; others benefit from ongoing work. Barry will give a realistic picture during the free call.
What are the fees and is it confidential?
Session fees are discussed during the free first call. All sessions are completely confidential.
Ready to talk about what’s possible?
A free consultation call costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Barry will listen to what’s going on and give you an honest view of whether hypnotherapy can help.
