Not Afraid of Birds
I had a serious fear of birds for years, and after just one session with Brian, it’s completely gone. The session was calm, professional, and honestly life-changing. I walked out feeling free and confident. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with phobias. More...

I first reached out to Brian in April 2023. I wanted to give up smoking. I'd been a smoker for some forty plus years. I'd tried to quit several times using prescription drugs and nicotine patches but always went back to the dreaded habit. Then, a friend recommended hypnosis. I did some research and found Brian, after my inital contact we made an appointment for me to attend his office. I was a little anxious having never had hypnosis before but Brian immediately put me at ease and explained what would happen during our session. That was 16 months ago and I'm pleased to report I haven't touched another cigarette since. No cravings, no desire at all to ever smoke again. I am now a non smoker and I will be a non smoker for the rest of my life. If you are considering hypnosis then I can 100% recommend Brian. More...

I cannot recommend Brian enough. I’ve been biting my nails since I was 4 years old and have tried multiple things to get me to stop, to no avail. Until I booked in for a hypnotherapy session at Hypnotic Solutions! It’s almost been a month now that I haven’t bitten my nails. I’ve grown in confidence and honestly, I just don’t even think about it anymore. He also tackled some other subconscious habits I had (such as lip biting and self doubt) in the same session. I’m really grateful for this. I would reccomend Brian’s work to anyone struggling, he’s very comforting and I felt safe and cared for throughout the experience. Thanks again! More...

A couple of months ago I saw Brian to stop biting my nails. I am delighted it has worked. No longer bite my nails and they are growing well. In the past when I have stopped of my own accord as soon as they got longer I would start picking at them. After my one session and listening to a recording for seven days I no longer have the urge. Amazing! Thank you Brian More...

After Brian helped a few friends stop smoking i repeatedly wished there was such a solution for weight loss. I knew Brian offered weight loss hypnosis programs but I'd never heard of any one actually loosing weight this way so i wasn't convinced. Eventually i was so desperate , I couldn't cope at the thought of yet another diet and thought anything was worth a try, so after a chat with Brian agreed to a 3 session program. My only regret was in not doing this sooner! With Brian's help I've had huge success and am delighted to say I've lost just over 8.5 stone (120lbs / 54.4Kg to be exact) and have been maintaining this loss for around 18 months. Would I recommend him to a friend ? I absolutely would, and often do just that. My results from hypnosis with Brian have been nothing short of life changing. More...

I contacted Brian about giving up smoking in May 2020. At that time I had been a smoker for over 20 years and I didn’t even really believe I could give up. I was worried if I did give up, I would be miserable, still craving cigarettes forever. Brian and I spoke over the phone about what I wanted to achieve and why. He sent me a relaxation exercise MP3 to practice in preparation. As it was during lockdown we could not meet in person, we had our hypnotherapy session over Zoom, so I was even more sceptical that it would actually work. After that one session, I threw away the cigarettes I had in the house and I haven’t touched another one since (15 months so far!). I can’t even explain how much this means to me. I feel like I have been freed. I don’t have to worry about going anywhere or what company i will be in. It doesn’t even bother me when I see other people smoking, which I thought would be impossible for me. I would 100% recommend this service to anybody who wants to stop smoking. I am so happy that I did. Thank you so much, Brian! More...

I recently had hypnotherapy with Brian for a fear of needles. I had one round of fertility treatment a few months ago and had a harsh realisation of the depth of my phobia. The treatment involved many many injections and it was pretty horrific including high levels of panic and lots of tears. Before starting my second round I had two sessions with Brian and this round has been a completely different experience, like night and day. I’ve been much much calmer during injections. No meltdowns and no tears. I’m so impressed with the results. Brian is professional and kind throughout. Im really thankful that I sought Brian’s help. Highly recommend. More...

I have known Brian for over 10 years. I first went to see him when I was in my early 30s as I wanted to stop smoking. I was apprehensive as to whether hypnotherapy would work, but a friend of mine had recommended Brian so I thought I would give it a try. I found Brian's approach to be very client focused and non-judgemental. Within minutes of meeting him I was able to open up about some deep-rooted issues that were driving my addiction to nicotine. I began to feel better almost instantly and I attribute this directly to Brian's naturally warm and sensitive personality and his intuition and insightfulness. I also believe Brian's extensive knowledge and experience in the field of hypnotherapy and NLP practice means he is able to cut through to the heart of the matter quicker than most. The hypnotherapy worked absolute wonders. Brian was able to tap into my sub conscience and enable me to change my responses to stressful and/or emotional situations. With any form of therapy such as this, there needs to be an element of trust in order for the therapy to work. Although I am usually quite cynical and suspicious, I had no difficulty in engaging in the process. After the session Brian very kindly gave me a meditation CD to listen to, which reinforced the benefits of the hypnotherapy session I had with him. The CD served as a holistic way for me to continue to manage my stress and anxiety in general. I have since been back to see Brian for various other issues and I continue to benefit from my hypnotherapy sessions with him. I have recommended him to my wife and friends and they all feel the same.I cannot recommend Brian at Hypnotic Solutions enough. I honestly feel that everyone should go and see him at some point in their lives to work through and resolve any ongoing problems or issues they have. I feel blesses to have found a therapist who understands and empathises with me, whilst being able to provide a practical solution to many of life's challenges. More...

For most of my life I have had an extreme snake phobia, I could not even talk about snakes orlook at pictures of them, but after just one session with Brian Jacobs, I am now well and truly cured. I can's stop looking at photographs of snakes on the internet, I keep watching youtube videos of snakes and today I went to a pet shop and stood for ten minutes simple gazing in wonder at the creature! I just can't believe how my fear has totally gone, nothing short of a miracle! I am so, so happy and since my treatment only three days ago, I haven't been able to stop smiling. I feel so free and liberated, like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you so much Brian. I would 100% recommend him to anyone. More...

Brilliant - it really worked! I went for a hypnotherapy session with Hypnotic Solutions to address my fear of heights. I am delighted to be able to let you know that I was able not only to ascend the elevator at Angel Tube station (which had previously made me feel panic stricken) but that I was able to work for the whole week on scaffolding on site at Cafe Royal, and I was also able to access the room in which I was working in by walking on scaffolding attached to the exterior of the building, three floors up, without any fear of heights at all.
In fact at points I quite enjoyed the "danger" element of being so high up!

Hypnotherapy and NLP
I use a blend of traditional clinical hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), where appropriate, to provide personalised, effective support tailored to your individual needs. My aim is to help you make positive, lasting changes in a way that is both empowering and transformative. In addition to my specialised Stop Smoking/Vaping in One Session Programme and 3-Session Core Weight Loss Programme, I help clients with a wide range of behavioural and emotional issues, including stress, worry, anxiety, phobias, low confidence, low self-esteem, procrastination, lack of motivation, anger management, unwanted habits, compulsions, addictions, and insomnia. Every session is tailored specifically to you, using the techniques most appropriate for your goals. My main practice is in Finchley Central, North London, and I also provide online sessions for clients throughout the UK and internationally. If you are looking to stop smoking or vaping, you also have the option of attending my Central London office. With over 20 years of experience as a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, I look forward to helping you make the positive changes you're seeking.
Weight Loss Programme
3-Session Core Weight Loss Programme
If you've tried one diet after another only to regain the weight, you're not alone. Traditional diets often depend on willpower, require you to give up the foods you enjoy, and can leave you falling back into old eating habits once the diet ends.
My 3-Session Core Weight Loss Programme takes a different approach.
Rather than focusing on restrictive dieting, it helps you change the habits, thoughts and emotional patterns that influence the way you eat. As these underlying patterns change, healthier choices can become easier and more natural.
Many people eat for reasons other than physical hunger. Stress, boredom, comfort eating and long-established habits can all contribute to overeating. By addressing these issues at their source, you can gain greater control over your eating without feeling deprived.
Using a combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), I help you reprogramme unhelpful eating habits, reduce cravings, increase motivation and develop a healthier relationship with food. Every programme is tailored to your individual goals and circumstances.
The 3-Session Core Weight Loss Programme can help you to:
Develop healthier eating habits
Reduce emotional and comfort eating
Feel satisfied with appropriate portion sizes
Decrease unnecessary snacking and cravings
Increase motivation to make healthier choices
Improve your confidence and self-belief
Create lasting lifestyle changes rather than relying on willpower alone
For clients who are particularly interested in portion control, I also offer an optional 5-Session Virtual Gastric Band Programme, which uses hypnosis to help you experience the psychological benefits of eating smaller portions.
If you're ready to lose weight by changing the way you think about food—not by following another restrictive diet—I would be delighted to help you achieve your goals.
