Primary Specialisms

Two areas of
deep focus.

Alongside the stress, anxiety and IBS that Stephen supports clients with every week, these are the two areas where his experience runs deepest — and where he feels he can offer the most.

🌊 A Misunderstood Condition

Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS) & Vestibular Disorders

Mal de Débarquement Syndrome is one of the most debilitating and misunderstood conditions, leaving people with a constant sensation of rocking, swaying or bobbing — even when perfectly still. Many find conventional options limited, and feel left without support. Stephen offers a calm, compassionate space and works with clients to help them feel more settled and supported.

  • Constant rocking, swaying or bobbing sensation
  • Severe dizziness and brain fog
  • Fatigue, insomnia and headaches
  • Inability to work or socialise normally
  • Vertigo, PPPD and related vestibular conditions

Primary Specialism

IBS & Gut-Brain Disorders

IBS is rarely just a digestive issue. The gut and brain are in constant communication, and stress, anxiety and emotional patterns held in the nervous system can play a big part in how people feel day to day. Stephen offers a relaxation-based approach aimed at calming that gut-brain connection and supporting overall well-being.

  • Chronic IBS symptoms despite medication
  • Bloating, cramping and unpredictable flare-ups
  • Digestive issues linked to stress or anxiety
  • Symptoms with no clear dietary cause
  • Long-term IBS that hasn't eased with other approaches

Understanding the Challenge
MdDS is a genuinely difficult condition, and many people feel they've run out of options. You don't have to navigate it alone.
— Stephen Williamson
A persistent sensation of rocking, swaying or bobbing, even at rest
Symptoms can persist for months or years after the triggering event
Often accompanied by fatigue, brain fog and low mood
Many people feel dismissed or unsupported, which can be isolating
Stephen offers a calm, supportive space to feel heard and work toward feeling more settled
Understanding MdDS

A different
kind of support.

Mal de Débarquement Syndrome is often linked to the brain's internal motion-processing system becoming stuck — typically after prolonged exposure to passive motion like a ship, plane or car journey. It's widely understood as a neurological pattern rather than structural damage.

That distinction matters, because it means there's room to work with the mind and nervous system. Stephen's approach is gentle and relaxation-based, not a medical treatment.

Using Hypnotherapy and NLP, Stephen works with the subconscious patterns and the stress and anxiety that so often surround a condition like this — helping clients feel calmer, more grounded and better able to cope day to day.

Stephen offers a supportive, compassionate space for people living with MdDS — many of whom have felt unheard elsewhere. The aim is always to help you feel better supported, never to promise a particular outcome.

Everyone is different, and Stephen will always be honest with you about what his approach can and can't offer. If you've been living with MdDS and would value some support, it's worth a conversation.

Understanding IBS

It was never just
about digestion.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is one of the most common conditions in the world — and one of the most frustrating, because tests so often come back "normal" while the symptoms carry on regardless. Bloating, cramping, urgency and unpredictable flare-ups can quietly shape every decision of your day.

The gut and the brain are in constant two-way conversation. Stress and anxiety can play a real part in how the gut feels, which is one reason many people find that managing stress makes a difference to how they feel overall.

Stephen offers a gentle, relaxation-based approach using Hypnotherapy and NLP, aimed at calming the nervous system and supporting your sense of well-being. It works alongside — never instead of — the care of your GP, and you should always keep your doctor informed about IBS symptoms.

"After living with IBS for many years, I felt calmer and more in control after working with Stephen." — a client, sharing their own experience. Everyone is different, and individual experiences vary.

Stephen will always be honest with you about what his approach can offer. If stress and IBS have been weighing on you and you'd value some support, it's worth a conversation.

Client Experiences

Real people.
In their own words.

IBS — 30 Years

I went to Stephen after suffering with IBS for nearly 30 years. After three sessions, my symptoms are virtually non-existent. Stephen was extremely professional, compassionate, and reassuring.

Confidence & Anxiety

I just know that your skills have given me so much more inner confidence. I was holding back and procrastinating and since your sessions I've had the confidence to step forward. Game changers.

Fibromyalgia & Sleep

I suffer from fibromyalgia and this comes with pain and lack of sleep. After only a couple of sessions I already see the difference in my pain and wellbeing. Highly recommend.

These are individual clients' own experiences, shared with their permission. Hypnotherapy is a complementary approach, not a medical treatment, and results vary from person to person — what one person experiences is not a promise of what another will. Always speak to your GP about any medical condition.

Common Questions

Questions about
Stephen's approach.

Can hypnotherapy help anxiety and stress?

Yes — anxiety and stress are among the conditions Stephen works with most, and they often sit at the root of other physical symptoms too. Using Hypnotherapy and NLP, he works directly with the subconscious patterns that keep the nervous system locked in a heightened state, helping clients feel calmer, clearer and more in control — often within just a few sessions.

Can hypnotherapy help MdDS?

Stephen works with people affected by MdDS using Hypnotherapy and NLP, with a focus on relaxation, calming the nervous system and supporting overall well-being. Many people living with MdDS find approaches that help them feel calmer and more comfortable valuable alongside their medical care. This is not a medical treatment or a substitute for seeing your doctor, and everyone responds differently.

Is there a cure for MdDS?

There is currently no known medical cure for MdDS, and you should always follow the advice of your doctor. Stephen offers a complementary approach using Hypnotherapy and NLP that focuses on relaxation and well-being — working alongside medical care, not in place of it. It is not a medical treatment or cure, and individual experiences vary.

How many sessions will I need?

Many clients notice they feel calmer and more relaxed within a few sessions, though everyone is different. Stephen's approach is designed to be gentle and supportive rather than open-ended, and he'll give you an honest, no-pressure view during your free discovery consultation of how he may be able to help.

Can hypnotherapy help with IBS?

Stephen works with people affected by IBS using Hypnotherapy and NLP, focusing on relaxation, easing stress and supporting general well-being. Because stress and the gut-brain connection can influence how people experience IBS, many find approaches that aid relaxation helpful. This isn't a medical treatment for IBS and isn't a substitute for medical advice — please always speak to your doctor about digestive symptoms.

What conditions does Stephen work with?

Stephen works with a wide range of conditions — including anxiety, stress, IBS and digestive issues, insomnia, low confidence, phobias, chronic pain and emotional trauma. He has particular experience supporting people with conditions that conventional medicine often finds difficult, such as MdDS and vestibular disorders. If you're unsure whether your situation is a fit, the free discovery call is the best place to ask.
