ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Empowering Your Path To Mental Wellness
Hello, I'm Mark Vanner. I've been working as a hypnotherapist for almost 20 years, and one of the things I enjoy most about my work is helping people overcome problems they've sometimes been struggling with for years.
Over that time, I've helped people tackle all sorts of challenges, from phobias and unwanted habits to weight management, anxiety, stopping smoking and many more.
Of course, everyone is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. That's why I take the time to get to know you, understand what you'd like to achieve and find an approach that feels right for you.
I'm based in Fairford, near Cirencester in Gloucestershire, where I see clients in person. I also offer online appointments.
Alongside my private practice, I've spent the past 12 years teaching hypnotherapy and counselling students for one of the UK's largest training providers. It's been a rewarding part of my career, and one that's given me the opportunity to share my experience with the next generation of therapists.
My work has been featured on both BBC Television and BBC Radio Oxford, but what matters most to me is the difference I can make to the people I work with.
And if you're wondering whether hypnotherapy might help with something you're experiencing, please feel free to get in touch. I'm always happy to answer a question or two before you decide whether to book.

After more than 30 years of yo-yo dieting, feeling low, out of control and unsure what to do next, I picked up a leaflet from a health and wellbeing centre. It described the Hypnoband – a virtual gastric band, a ‘virtual operation’ under hypnosis. I held onto that leaflet for weeks before contacting hypnotherapist Mark Vanner, who has helped me change my life in just 10 weeks. I wasn’t Mark’s typical client. I was about two and a half stone overweight, but I was binge eating, depressed and had very low self-esteem and confidence. At 55, I felt as low as I could get and knew I needed help.Mark is understanding, caring and professional. The hypnotherapy has helped me stop constantly thinking about food and recognise when I am full. In 10 weeks I have lost over a stone in weight and 9 inches from my measurements. I feel fantastic, have dropped a dress size and believe I have had a gastric band operation. My stomach is now used to smaller portions and a smaller plate – and I am enjoying becoming a smaller, happier me.Be kind to yourself, take the first step to change your life, and don’t look back.

Hi Mark
I just wanted to say, thank you very much for all your help. Last night I came face to face with my first big spider and removed it without panic. I've attached picture evidence!

'I thought you would like to know that I am still losing weight, 32lbs so far. Which is great, I feel so much better in confidence and in health. The person I now see when passing a mirror is not someone I shy away from in shame. I feel a sense of pride in what I’ve achieved and look forward to achieving my goal however long it takes. I average a pound or so a week, some weeks none but the following week 2 or 3lbs, so I don’t get despondent when there is no change as there is always a loss in inches if not weight.'

hey mark:) its laura, thankyou so soooo much for helping me! I dont feel scared anymore because i used your techniques and thought to myself that i need to get it done with and i needed to be brave to overcome my fear...and it worked! Before i felt like i was trapped in a bubble, and i needed to get out but it was very hard because everytime i tried to be brave about it my fear overtook and i just got upset and felt more trapped. So after your help i realised that i needed to be confident and face my fear to overcome it.........and now im free from the bubble!! :) THANKS AGAIN :D

I was very impressed by Mark’s professionalism and understanding in his approach to helping me quit smoking. The process was quick, painless and relaxing, and I’m happy to say I’ve now gone over a year and I’m still a non-smoker! I now feel great every day, and look a lot healthier! Many thanks!

Hi Mark.
Firstly I would like to thank you for helping me on my journey to loosing weight. 11 weeks down the line from our first session and I feel like a different person. I have lost a total of 11.9kg, almost 2 stone! Before I was happy to keep out of the way, not wanting to bring attention to myself, always wearing black to try and hide the bulges. Now I want the world to know I'm back!
I have always known that diets would never work for me. I had no will power and could never last on restricted plans. I wanted something to take away the "need to eat" all the time and let me realise when I was full. With the hypnoband system I have all that, my body tells me when to stop. I no longer suffer from heartburn, I never feel bloated and more importantly never feel hungry, just satisfied. All this from 4 sessions of hypnotherapy, brilliant.
I have gone from a total couch potato into a person who uses every opportunity to walk, I do other exercise on a regular basis and look and feel so much better in myself. My target weight is becomming a reality with every kilo lost and the closer I get, the more I want to reach it. I will have reached my target weight by my party date and can't wait to start looking for new clothes and a new hairstyle to go with the new me.
I am so thankful I took that first step of contacting you, I would reccommend anyone thinking of trying the hypnoband system to do it now! At the beginning of this year I was looking to be a fat 40 year old, now I'm looking forward to being a fab 40 year old, and it's all thanks to you and the hypnoband.

We had a wonderful holiday and the food was lovely and I made good choices! I haven't had any chocolate and a few days ago, on my husband's birthday I didn't even eat the chocolate cake. That is huge progress for me. I feel full very quickly and even the taste of food seems to have changed for me. Also I no longer obsess about food like I used to nor do I get in a panic about over eating because I stop when I'm feeling full

I'm a non-smoker, you fixed me about 6 months ago.Whenever I speak with people about it they constantly say that I should write and thank you again, so I'm doing so; thank you. I promote you whenever I speak with smokers who express the desire to quit, although like I was, they are a hard bunch to convince!
