Does This Sound Familiar?
You know there’s a version of you that SHOULD show up in social situations relaxed, make jokes with friends, go on holiday for fun and actually do the things in life you love…..
But…..
The moment you start to take a step forward, its like a dark cloud grabs you by the neck and forces you back to into the hole that you FINALLY thought you had the courage to climb out of, whether that’s in the form of a panic attack, an overwhelming tidal wave of negative thoughts or a not so simple state of freeze
Its ok, its NOT your fault.
And HERE’S WHY….
What if I told you that there is a HIDDEN FORCE that controls you? It not only controls what you think and feel, it has the ability to SABOTAGE all your goals and life plans if not treated properly?
This force is your SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. Its the part of you that controls your heart beat 10,000 times a day, digests your food, regulates your breathing and some scientists say it makes up to 97% of YOUR THOUGHTS and ACTIONS every single day.
In short, if your subconscious mind isn’t on board with the actions you want to make, there’s NO HOPE in making SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATIONS in your mind.
Imagine this….
You’ve finally been teaching your pet ant to run in a particular direction on command. Pretty impressive right? The only issue is that your pet ant is running in the direction you want but its on the back of an elephant walking the OPPOSITE WAY. Your subconscious mind is the elephant, your conscious mind is the ant.
Ever found that you “know these thoughts AREN’T REAL” or that they seem “completely IRRATIONAL” yet you can’t seem to get rid of them or shake the story?
For change to last…it MUST come from the subconscious part of your brain.
I CAN TALK TO THAT PART…..
For the last seven years I’ve been working as a clinical hypnotherapist helping individuals from every gender, age and background break free from fear, anxiety and compulsions by RAPIDLY rewiring the old beliefs that have been keeping them still.
Its not magic, its science.
"Through The Power Of Hypnosis, You Can Re-programme Your Subconcious Mind To Reduce Anxiety"
As mystical and entertaining as hypnosis might seem, its a NATURAL and EFFORTLESS state available to all of us, all the time. If you’ve ever daydreamed on a long car journey, found yourself getting lost in a movie or wondered where the last hour went, that’s HYPNOSIS, or as its commonly referred to – TRANCE.
Using trance, i speak to the part that’s been CAUSING ANXIETY and keeping you in the perpetual loop.
Because here’s the IRONIC part….
Your subconscious mind think its genuinely HELPING YOU by generating panic attacks and anxious thoughts and feelings. If we go back 14,000+ years ago, this is the same software in the brain that would help keep us safe from wild animals and other danger. But uses the same principle to show concern about what someone might be thinking about us.
Think of it like a 5 year old child – it wants to stay safe and protect you (by keeping you in the familiar), it wants to SEEK PLEASURE, and if it doesn’t get what it wants – it THROWS A TANTRUM – which in this case can lead to panic attacks, social anxiety, or severe overthinking and self sabotaging behaviours taking you back to the thoughts and behaviours you HAD, instead of the ones you WANT.
But it DOESN’T have to stay that way…
When the subconscious is open to new suggestions, it finds a CREATIVE WAY of meeting your needs while aligning itself with the HAPPIEST and most PEACEFUL YOU.
And when the subconscious mind wants the same thing as you do, change becomes RAPID!

Meet Your Hypnotherapist
Hi there,
I’m Scott Lester Woods although my clients and friends just refer to me as Les or Lester.
When it comes to us working together. I believe I have 3 jobs.
To get you out of therapy.
To make myself redundant.
To get you to the place where you no longer need my help.
For the last 7 years it’s been my passion and privilege to help people suffering with social anxiety, GAD and panic attacks – achieve the peaceful mind they deserve and are more than capable of achieving.
The feedback from my clients is that I am empathetic, knowledgeable and passionate whilst being professional. My approach is completely solution orientated and my mission is to have you smiling by the end of every session. No one said change had to be boring.
- I originally trained with the Clifton Practice in 2015 which is the gold standard of hypnotherapy training where I received my diploma in Solution focused hypnotherapy.
- Later in 2015 I also Became a qualified NLP Practitioner learning directly from the founder Richard Bandler.
- In 2016 I trained with Mike Mandell, Canada’s top hypnotherapist.
- In late 2016, I travelled to Poland to train with a Dutch daredevil called Wim Hof (Also known as The Iceman of the BBC programme Freeze The Fear) in order to learn how breathwork and cold therapy could help with anxiety
- 2017 - 2019 I lived in a buddhist temple to learn about meditation and mindfulness while continuing my professional practice.
- 2019 - I created Hypnotherapy Unleashed. A Youtube channel offering over 100 free hypnosis tracks to 30,000 listeners every single month to help them calm their thoughts and break bad habits.
- 2021 - I attended the Jacquinn Academy of Hypnosis taught by Anthony and Freddie Jacquinn - England's Top Hypnotherapists
- 2022 - I learned Rapid Induction Therapy with Ali Campbell - Scotland's No1 Hypnotherapist.
- 2022 - I was proud to be awarded “Plymouth’s best rated Hypnotherapist” by one of the UK’s top verified business networks.
- Currently I am now in the exciting process of setting up a fully accredited Hypnosis Training School (The Hypnotherapy Unleashed Training Academy) to teach and qualify others as clinical hypnotherapists.
Along this journey of mentors, I privately gained my Hypnotherapy Practitioners Diploma (HPD) became an accredited member of The National Council of Hypnotherapy and The Complimentary Natural Healthcare Council, meaning that I abide by their strict code of person centred ethics ensuring your safety and wellbeing comes first.
Why Choose Hypnotherapy Online?
A 2019 study by Manchester University measured the difference between people who had online hypnotherapy treatment vs face to face online hypnotherapy sessions – all the people in the study reported the SAME significant improvement.
Two years ago I was forced to take my Hypnotherapy practice online, I was sceptical at first because for the previous 5 years I had ALWAYS done face to face sessions.
The results?…..
I saw my clients get BETTER RESULTS much more RAPIDLY, and it showed in the quality of testimonials I received. I don’t know the specific reason why this happened but I put it down to the following:
- If you're new to hypnotherapy or talking therapy in general, it can be daunting visiting a stranger in an unfamiliar setting.
- After a while, a therapy room right seem like a "safe haven" away from home. So it may have feel like somethings changed, but often, habits and negative thoughts revert back to the way they when you go home.
- Having to travel to your therapy appointment to make it in time can be stressful, time consuming and even more expensive once you pay for parking.
- Having your transformations take place at home are far more powerful and long lasting.
- Being in the comfort of your own home in a familiar setting allows you to start the session more relaxed as well as go into a deeper trance and faster.
- Being able to simply log in to your appointment online takes less time and is far less stressful.
Hypnosis & Session FAQ's
Don’t worry, I’m really not tech savvy either, but thankfully when it comes to using software like zoom, it’s bulletproof for technophobes like us. Once you book in your free consultation. You’ll naturally get sent a link, once you click it at the time of our appointment, our session starts. As long as you have a camera and microphone (both of those are naturally installed on all smart phones, laptops and cameras) as well as good access to the internet, we’re good to go. I’ve had clients in their 70s+ that hate technology using zoom off of their phone. If they can do it, we know you can too.
If you’ve ever really got stuck into a film or TV series, daydreamed while driving/walking, or found yourself eating in autopilot – you can be hypnotised, because those things are all a form of hypnosis/trance. To put your mind at ease, we can do a quick 10 second experiment together during your initial consultation to make sure you’re able to achieve the level of hypnosis you need in order to begin getting those results.
Hypnotherapy can help with a multitude of conditions. The list below names just a few I can help with, however if you want to know if I can help with something not yet mentioned then don’t hesitate to get in contact.
Anger
Chronic pain
Confidence and Self-Esteem
Eating Issues
Fears & Phobias
Irritable Bowel Syndrome & digestive disorders
OCD & Obsessive thoughts
Panic Attacks
Physical Symptoms/Habits
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Sexual Problems
Skin Conditions
Sports Performance
Tinnitus
Pain Management
Fibromyalgia
Even if for some crazy reason I wanted to….I can’t. Despite the entertaining acts that stage hypnosis is famous for, it’s mostly an illusion and not in any way a reflection of hypnotherapy. In fact, there is nothing that me (or any hypnotherapist) can make you do that you don’t want to do. You have complete control the entire time which is why it’s important that you show up to our sessions willing to make this change.
Absolutely! Hypnotherapy is very complimentary alongside other talking therapies such as CBT and counselling. There is some research that says it can even enhance the results alongside other modalities.
Again, absolutely! Providing you don’t have a diagnosis of psychosis, epilepsy or schizophrenia, hypnotherapy is an extremely safe and effective treatment alongside medication.
Each of the sessions are 50-55 minutes long.
The prices range between £60 and £80 per session depending on which package you have purchased
