Hypnotherapy in Islington
Peter Ely
About Peter Ely
Many people come to see me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and constantly on edge. They may struggle with anxiety, anger, or patterns of behaviour they don’t fully understand habits that feel automatic, even when they know they’re not helping.
What often sits beneath all of this isn’t a lack of willpower. It’s unresolved trauma. Trauma isn’t always what people think. It’s not just major life events it can be the accumulation of stress, pressure, or experiences where you felt unsafe, out of control, or not enough. Over time, the brain adapts to protect you. It becomes hyper-alert, scanning for danger, triggering anxiety, and pushing you towards coping mechanisms that offer short-term relief.
Before becoming a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I spent 20 years in the security industry a high-pressure environment where stress was constant, and resilience was expected. Like many people, I learned to push things down and carry on, but stress doesn’t disappear it builds, and it finds an outlet.
Training as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist gave me a clear understanding of how the brain responds to stress and trauma, along with practical tools to calm the nervous system and regain control. That shift didn’t just change how I handled pressure it changed how I experienced myself, my relationships, and my day-to-day life.
Today, I work with adults both in North London and online, helping them understand their triggers, reduce anxiety, and break free from patterns driven by past experiences.
My approach is grounded in neuroscience, focused on the present and future, and delivered in a way that is practical, supportive, and human. There’s no need to relive the past in detail, instead, we work on helping your brain feel safe enough to move forward.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles and want to understand what’s really driving them, the next step is simple.

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.
