About Me
Meet Liz McDougall: Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist & Life Coach
Hi, I’m Liz McDougall (DHP, Acc.Hyp). As an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, and Advanced Clinical Weight Release and Gastric Band Practitioner, I help people break free from old patterns, overcome anxiety, and reclaim their life's purpose. My goal is to guide you safely toward lasting emotional and physical freedom.
My Journey: Hitting the Reset Button in My 40's
My passion for therapeutic healing comes from personal experience. My early 40's was a pivotal moment in my life when I suddenly realised that I wasn't living my life's purpose. Night out after night out just simply wasn't making me happy anymore. My social life, along with alcohol was getting way out of my control. I decided to take some time for me and I went on a journey of self-improvement. This profound personal transformation awakened a deep thirst for knowledge.
This began with me studying and gaining Diplomas in both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Advanced Weight Loss Practitioner. My thirst for knowledge and studying was truly awakened so I embarked on studying part-time with The Open University and gained a BA Hons in English Literature and Creative Writing. Somehow happily along the way it led me to practice Meditation and Gratefulness on a daily basis. I then turned to Reiki and Hypnosis to assist me with some anxiety issues and they worked wonders for me.
I hit the reset button on my life and I am here to tell you that you can do it too. It is a real joy that I can share this sense of freedom with my clients every day and help them live their best life.
Rest assured whatever you are going through you are not alone. I can help you.

Whatever challenges, anxieties, or habits you are currently navigating, please rest assured that you are not alone, and you do not have to carry this heavy weight by yourself. I can help you find your way back to calm, clarity, and control.
Professional Clinical Hypnotherapy to Unlock Your Potential
If you are ready to break free from old habits, ease anxiety, or overcome hidden mental blocks, you are in safe hands, I am dedicated to helping you reclaim control, with evidence-based techniques to help you achieve lasting, meaningful transformation.
A Tailored, Compassionate Approach to Healing
I understand that no two psychological journeys are ever the same. That is why I completely reject one-size-fits-all treatments. In my practice, I take the time to deeply understand your personal goals, your unique challenges, and your lifestyle.
By seamlessly blending solution-focused hypnotherapy with professional care, I tailor every session to fit your exact needs. Together, we will work with your subconscious mind to dissolve barriers, build mental resilience, and unlock your true emotional potential.

In Person & Online Sessions
Why Choose Online Hypnotherapy?
Online Hypnosis Works Just Like Face-to-Face Sessions. It offers unparalleled flexibility and convenience, allowing you to experience transformative sessions from the comfort of your own home, whether you're located in the UK, Europe, or even further afield. Distance is no longer a barrier to achieving your goals with hypnosis.
The Comfort of Your Own Space
With online hypnotherapy, you can select the environment that best suits your needs. All you need is a quiet, safe space where you won’t be interrupted. While complete silence isn’t necessary for effective hypnosis, a peaceful setting enhances the experience. The key is to ensure you can relax without disturbances.
How Online Hypnosis Works
Online hypnosis operates just as effectively as in-person sessions. You can unwind in your favourite chair or cosy spot, enjoying the same benefits without the need to travel to my therapy room.
Booking Your Session
To secure your online hypnotherapy session, a deposit is paid a week before your session, then the remaining balance is due one day before. Payment can be conveniently made via bank transfer, and specific details will be provided when scheduling your appointment.
Preparing for Your Session
To maximize your experience, please follow these preparation tips:
- Set Aside Time: Ensure you have ample time to relax before your session begins at the scheduled date and time.
- Join the Meeting: Access your session through the Zoom link sent to you.
- Choose Your Comfort Zone: Find a comfortable seating arrangement where you can fully relax.
- Consider Earphones: While not mandatory, using earphones can help create a more immersive experience by minimizing external distractions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What happens if we lose our internet connection during the session?
A: If we lose connection at any point, I will call you back to continue from where we left off. If this occurs during trance, you will naturally awaken when you don't hear from me for a few moments, and I will guide you back into trance seamlessly. This will not impact the effectiveness of your session.
Q: Can a person get stuck in hypnosis?
A: No, you cannot get stuck in hypnosis, just as you cannot get trapped in sleep. You will awaken naturally at the end of our session. If I remain silent, you will awaken naturally all by yourself in your own time with no prompting from me, just like with sleep.
