Andrea Aro
Solution-focused Clinical Hypnotherapy for positive, lasting change
​
Hello, I'm Andrea Aro, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Solution-Focused Psychotherapist based in Mid Sussex. I have been helping people make positive changes in their lives since 2004.
​
I offer personalised hypnotherapy for adults and children experiencing anxiety, stress, confidence and self-esteem difficulties, fears and phobias, sleep problems, unwanted habits, emotional and eating difficulties, menopause-related challenges and a wide range of other issues affecting wellbeing.
​
I offer face-to-face hypnotherapy in Mid Sussex and online hypnotherapy for clients throughout the UK and internationally.

How Can Hypnotherapy Help You?
Sometimes you know exactly what you want to change. Sometimes you simply know that something isn't working as well as you'd like.
​
You may be struggling with anxiety or stress, finding it difficult to sleep, lacking confidence, experiencing unwanted habits, or feeling that a particular pattern of thinking or behaviour is holding you back.
​
Hypnotherapy can help you explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that may be keeping an unwanted pattern going, while focusing on the changes you want to make.
​
My approach is practical, individualised and solution-focused. Rather than dwelling on the past, we focus on where you are now, where you want to be and the steps that can help you get there.
Hypnotherapy for a range of concerns
Every person is different, and hypnotherapy isn't a one-size-fits-all therapy. I work with clients experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioural and lifestyle concerns.
Anxiety, Stress and Emotional Wellbeing
Hypnotherapy may help you develop a different relationship with anxious thoughts, manage stress more effectively and feel calmer and more in control.
​
I work with issues including anxiety, panic, stress, emotional overwhelm and difficulties associated with major life changes.
​
Confidence and Self-Esteem
Low confidence can affect relationships, work, opportunities and everyday life.
​
Solution-focused hypnotherapy can help you develop more helpful patterns of thinking and build confidence in your ability to deal with situations that previously felt difficult.
​
Fears and Phobias
Fears can become deeply established patterns of response. Whether you have a specific phobia or experience anticipatory anxiety around a particular situation, hypnotherapy can be used effectively to help change your response.
​​​
Sleep
If poor sleep is affecting your energy, mood or ability to function during the day, hypnotherapy may help you establish healthier patterns around sleep and relaxation.
​
I offer specialist sleep support through my Sleep Well Program and my work as the Sussex Sleep Coach.
​
Menopause Support
Menopause can affect much more than periods. Changes in hormones, sleep, mood, confidence, stress levels, eating habits and body image can have a significant impact on everyday life.
​
My menopause-focused work includes support for emotional wellbeing, sleep, confidence, eating habits and weight management during and after menopause.
​
I also offer Menopause Metamorphosis, a specialist four-session program focusing on sustainable changes to eating, activity, mindset and lifestyle during menopause.
​
Eating Habits and Weight Management
The way we eat isn't always simply a matter of willpower. Stress, emotions, habits, environment and learned patterns can all influence eating behaviour.
My approach focuses on helping you understand and change the patterns behind your eating, rather than relying on restrictive diets.
I offer individual support as well as specialist programs including Menopause Metamorphosis, Virtual Gastric Band and Virtual Slimming Jab.
Unwanted habits and behaviours
Hypnotherapy can be used to help change established habits and behaviours, including smoking, vaping and drinking habits.
​
My approach is non-judgemental and focuses on understanding what the behaviour currently does for you, before developing healthier alternatives.
​
Depression
Depression can affect your mood, motivation, sleep, confidence, concentration and enjoyment of everyday life, and it can sometimes feel difficult to see a way forward.
Clinical hypnotherapy and solution-focused psychotherapy can provide a supportive, practical approach to help you understand unhelpful patterns of thinking, develop more effective coping strategies and work towards positive changes in your life.
I offer personalised hypnotherapy for depression in Sussex and online, working alongside appropriate medical or psychological care where needed.

​
Supporting the Cancer Journey
Being given a cancer diagnosis can be a tough and uncertain time and 'traditional treatments' may cause uncomfortable side-effects.
Hypnotherapy may ease uncomfortable symptoms quickly and gently whilst supporting mental burden. My Your Cancer Journey Support Program is specifically designed to ease treatment symptoms and support mental wellbeing at this time.
I am certified with the Association of Hypno-Oncology Practitioners and am one of only a handful of Hypnotherapists in the UK that offer this specialised support.
​
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a life-threatening event.
​
Hypnotherapy may offer an effective and gentle approach in dealing with Post Traumatic Stress and enables participants to recover and regain their life in a relatively short amount of time.
Hypnotherapy may help refocus mindset to enable you to adapt, change and to look to the future with renewed hope and confidence.
​
Why Choose Andrea Aro?
I have been practising as a hypnotherapist since 2004 and have worked with people experiencing a wide variety of emotional, behavioural and lifestyle challenges.
​
My approach combines clinical hypnotherapy, solution-focused psychotherapy and practical strategies for change.
​
I believe therapy should be individual to you. There is no standard number of sessions that suits everyone, and I will discuss your circumstances and goals with you before recommending an appropriate approach.
​
I also believe in working responsibly. Hypnotherapy is complementary to appropriate medical care and is not a replacement for diagnosis or treatment by your GP, consultant or other healthcare professional.
​
What Happens During Hypnotherapy?
Your first session gives us an opportunity to talk about what you would like to change, what has been happening and what you hope to achieve.
​
I'll explain how hypnotherapy works and answer any questions you may have.
During hypnosis, you remain aware of what is happening and are able to communicate with me. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and relaxation, and you remain in control throughout.
​
The work then focuses on helping you develop new ways of thinking, responding and behaving that support the changes you want to make.
​
Face to face and online hypnotherapy
I provide face-to-face hypnotherapy in Mid Sussex, in Cuckfield.
​
I also offer online hypnotherapy, allowing you to work with me from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are in the UK or internationally.
​
If you're looking for a clinical hypnotherapist in Sussex, or would prefer online hypnotherapy, please get in touch to discuss your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can hypnotherapy help with anxiety?
Hypnotherapy may help you change the way you respond to anxious thoughts and situations and develop more helpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Your individual circumstances will determine whether hypnotherapy is appropriate for you.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
This varies according to the individual, the issue you're bringing and the changes you want to make. Some people notice meaningful changes relatively quickly, while others benefit from a longer course of sessions.
Is hypnotherapy the same as counselling?
No. Hypnotherapy and counselling are different approaches. My practice uses clinical hypnotherapy and solution-focused psychotherapy, with an emphasis on helping you make positive changes in the present and future.
Can hypnosis be used alongside medical treatment?
Hypnotherapy can sometimes be used as a complementary approach alongside appropriate medical care. Where a medical assessment or treatment is needed, I would always encourage you to work with your GP or relevant healthcare professional.
Ready to make a change?
You don't have to know exactly what you need before you get in touch.
​
If something in your life isn't working the way you'd like it to, we can talk about what's happening and whether hypnotherapy could be appropriate for you.
