Yes. Neil works with young people aged 9–16, supporting both youth athletes and teenagers experiencing general anxiety, low confidence, exam stress, or social pressure. His sessions combine CBT, hypnotherapy, and performance psychology to help teens build calm, focus, and resilience.

With over a decade of experience coaching teenagers and adults through his former martial arts academy, Neil understands how to connect with young people in a practical and engaging way.

Yes! Hypnotherapy reprograms self-limiting beliefs, boosting confidence, motivation, and a positive mindset for personal and professional growth.

Hypnotherapy guides you into a deeply relaxed state, helping reprogram negative subconscious patterns, lower stress responses, and build emotional resilience. At MySoul Coach, the MSC Method is used to blend clinical hypnotherapy with aspects of CBT and other techniques to achieve the best possible approach for our clients

Yes. Hypnotherapy is widely used in sports psychology to improve focus, confidence under pressure, pre-competition nerves, and recovery from performance setbacks. By working at the subconscious level, athletes can rehearse mental routines, reduce performance anxiety, and build consistency. My Soul Coach combines hypnotherapy with sports psychology principles drawn from masters level university research and over 25 years of mental performance experience.

Yes. Online hypnotherapy delivers the same therapeutic depth as face-to-face sessions and is now the preferred format for many UK clients due to convenience and comfort. Sessions are conducted via secure video link from your own environment, which often helps clients relax more quickly. Research published since the pandemic supports online hypnotherapy as equally effective for anxiety, confidence, and habit change.

Most clients see noticeable change within 1 to 6 hypnotherapy sessions, depending on the issue. Some phobia changes often resolve in 1-3 sessions. Anxiety, confidence, and performance work typically requires a focused 4-6 session programme. Long-standing issues or trauma-related work may need longer. My Soul Coach offers structured programmes with clear session counts so clients know what to expect from the start.

Hypnotherapy in the UK typically costs between £50 and £150 per session, depending on location.

A free 15-minute consultation is offered to all new clients so the most suitable approach can be discussed before booking.

Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe, well-researched therapeutic approach with no known harmful side effects when delivered by a qualified practitioner.

Yes. Neil provides hypnotherapy audios for youth sports performance, free toolkits, specialised personal development courses and one-to-one coaching. A dedicated youth sports course is in development.

That’s a completely normal question, therapy and coaching are personal, and it’s important to find an approach that feels right for you. That’s why I offer a free consultation, giving you the chance to explore how I work with no pressure.

As my work reaches more people, I understand that different styles resonate with different individuals. What I focus on is delivering results, many of my clients come back, refer others, and report meaningful, lasting change. In the end, outcomes speak louder than opinions.
