Hypnotherapy in Islington

Peter Ely

About Peter Ely

I work with people who need support with building their confidence. Whether for a job interview, exams or just to feel more in control of your life, I can help you discover who you want to be.

Stress and anxiety can have a negative impact on our confidence. Many people don’t realise they are living on autopilot. By explaining how our brain works and the science behind it, I help you to take back control of your thoughts, feelings, emotions and, ultimately, actions.

I also specialise in fears and phobias. In just 4 short weeks you can transform how you feel about your fear so you can get on a plane, go outside, get in a lift or whatever it is that is holding you back

A Life-Changing Journey with HypnotherapyFrom my first session with Peter, I felt a shift—not just in my mindset but in how I approach life. After only a few months, the transformation has been profound. I’ve gone from feeling overwhelmed to embracing a positive, balanced outlook.Peter’s sessions are more than conversations; they equip you with tools to navigate life’s challenges. I’ve learned to focus on the positives—both big and small—and apply these insights daily.The changes have been remarkable. I’ve gained clarity, emotional balance, and resilience, tackling challenges with calm confidence and renewed motivation. This transformation has also strengthened my relationships, improving communication, empathy, and boundary-setting.Peter’s expertise, compassion, and personalized approach create a safe, supportive space. His relatable explanations make even complex ideas clear and actionable, and everything shared remains private and confidential.Each session leaves me empowered and grounded, ready to face new challenges. This journey has given me tools for lasting change, along with the confidence to live fully and joyfully.If you’re ready to break free from limiting patterns and create a brighter, more balanced life, I highly recommend Peter. He genuinely cares about your growth and will guide you every step of the way. Transformation is possible—it starts here.What did I want help with?I was desperate for calm. While I understood the connection between stress and biological responses like cortisol and adrenaline, I needed personalised guidance. Despite knowing how my body reacts, I wanted to learn how to live fully after dramatic life events and find positivity when everything felt dull.What was my experience of the initial consultation?The initial consultation was fascinating. Peter thoroughly explained how the brain works in a way that was enjoyable and easy to understand. I learned about TIA—Positive Thoughts, Positive Interactions, and Positive Actions—and the role of positive chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, released through activities like exercise, meditation, and spending time with loved ones.What are the sessions like?Insightful and engaging. Peter creates a comfortable, non-judgmental space, making complex topics easy to understand. Sessions involve discussions, reflections, and practical tools to manage stress, improve mindset, and promote well-being. Each session provides actionable steps that leave me feeling empowered and more in control of my emotions and life.What changes have you noticed in yourself?Through weekly hypnotherapy sessions, I’ve learned to focus on the positive aspects of life and implement practical tools in daily activities.Would you recommend Peter Ely?Absolutely. Peter’s warm, insightful, and effective approach has helped me gain clarity, emotional balance, and confidence. He supports lasting, positive changes and truly cares about your growth.Why would I recommend Peter Ely?Peter’s knowledge and tailored sessions make transformation achievable. He creates a safe, supportive space, leading to real changes in managing stress, boosting confidence, and finding peace.What do you enjoy about the sessions?I love how relaxed and safe the sessions feel. Peter’s explanations are clear and sometimes fun, and the practical tools he provides are empowering. Each session leaves me feeling lighter, more positive, and ready to tackle challenges.When my sessions ended, I reflected on Peter’s support and my self-growth. For the first time, I felt comfortable in my own skin—and it felt good. If you’re seeking transformation with someone who truly cares, Peter is the perfect guide.
Response from the owner: Thank you for this wonderful review, I am so pleased to have worked with you and supported you in your journey.
I can highly recommend Peter. I had never tried hypnotherapy before and found it really beneficial in different areas of my business and personal life….many thanks Peter!
If you're scrolling through these reviews wondering whether to book in a session with Peter, take this as your sign to do so!When I sought out Peter's help, I was at my wit's end. Feeling I'd exhausted every option, I figured I had nothing to lose by trying hypnotherapy (despite admittedly having some reservations about what it would entail!)After a quick Google search, I chose Peter on a whim because the location worked well for me, and I cannot describe how fortuitous that was! Peter's sessions are structured in a very specific way, with the hypnotherapy component occupying only about 50% of the time. He spends the rest of the session explaining how the brain works, giving you practical tips to set yourself up for mental health success, and helping you get better at "positive thinking" through various questions and prompts.As I mentioned above - I have literally tried everything, so imagine my surprise when after just a few sessions with Peter, my mind felt calmer and clearer than ever.I can't say for sure whether it was the hypnotherapy that helped, which is why I wouldn't recommend you book in with just any hypnotherapist - what I do know is that Peter's specific combination of tools worked wonders for me and quite literally changed my life, so I'd emphatically recommend anyone looking to improve their state of mind to book a session with Peter.
Response from the owner: Thank you Victoria, it was lovely working with you and I am so pleased that you found the sessions valuable.
When I started hypnotherapy with Peter I was a bit anxious as I thought it was like you see on TV but Peter took the time to explain what happens and the theory of how it works to me. He has a calming voice and I trust him completely. Peter listened to my goals. 1 was increased confidence, 2 was to get over my fear of thunder and lightning and 3 to be less stressed.Within just a few sessions I felt more confident. My boss noticed it and things that I normally would bestressed about aren't affecting me as much.We have had 2 sessions on my phobia and typically it hasn't thundered at allsince but I feel comfortable that I can deal with it instead of hiding under the covers. Next we are tackling weight loss - if the sessions so far are anything to go by then I know I'll be slimmer and fitter in the coming months.Definitely try hypnotherapy with Peter. I really enjoy my sessions and look forward to relaxing each week.UPDATEPeter helped me with my phobia of thunder and lightning in March. Last night I experienced the worst storm of my life in US with 111 bolts per min. It was a total transformation - instead of hiding in a cupboard or under the cover (very protective ????) I stayed in bed and eventually went to sleep whilst it was still on. No panic attacks! So I can personally recommend Peter for hypnotherapy for phobias (plus any other issues!) Thank you Peter

More About Me

During my 20 years of providing career development support, I saw how the pressures of office life were causing more and more people to struggle with stress, anxiety and depression. While going through my own issues, I discovered how hypnotherapy could support people.

Taking my passion for helping people, I decided to train as a hypnotherapist. The thing I love about hypnotherapy is that I can help people so quickly. Most of my clients see me for 10-12 weeks. I support people on their journey to becoming more confident and less stressed. They are then ready to move on with their lives as happier individuals.
