Stuck in the Same Mental Loops? Change the Patterns Holding You Back

Stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or feeling like you keep going round in circles despite knowing what you want to change?

If you’ve experienced trauma or narcissistic abuse, fallen into unwanted habits, or feel held back by limiting beliefs, Advanced Conversational Hypnosis can help. ACH helps you change the unconscious patterns behind your thoughts, emotions and behaviours, so you can feel calmer, more in control, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence and self-trust.

Do you find yourself...

Avoiding situations that matter because of fear, anxiety, self-doubt or people pleasing?
Replaying past traumas or conversations, over and over in your mind?
Struggling to switch off, relax, or get a good night’s sleep?
Reaching for cigarettes, comfort foods or one too many drinks when stress spikes?
Doom scrolling or binge watching just to disconnect from the world?
Lacking the confidence and motivation to build a better life?

Living with these patterns can be exhausting. You may find yourself constantly overthinking, tense and unable to switch off, even when you desperately want to relax.

Conversational Hypnosis can help you change these patterns, release what’s keeping you stuck, and feel lighter, calmer and more in control.

What’s Conversational Hypnosis & Does It Really Work?

Conversational Hypnotherapy, sometimes called Advanced Conversational Hypnosis (ACH), is a results-focused coaching approach that works with your subconscious to create rapid, meaningful change.

Unlike traditional problem-solving, which relies on logic alone, ACH helps you identify and change the unconscious patterns that drive your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Informed by psychological principles, neuroscience, and university research into how the brain processes change, it targets the root cause of challenges like stress, burnout, low confidence, Imposter Syndrome, PTSD, and self-doubt.

Every client’s experience is unique. ACH creates a safe, grounded space for you to discover your own answers, release long-held emotional blocks, and step into lasting change – naturally and efficiently.

How ACH differs from traditional therapy

No Scripts or Trances: Sessions are completely tailored to you -no generic scripts, visualisations, or artificial trance states.
Natural Conversation: You remain fully aware and in complete control while engaging in a deep, transformative dialogue.
Rapid Breakthroughs: By accessing the subconscious patterns directly, most clients experience profound shifts in just a single session.
Flexible & Convenient: Sessions are equally effective online via Zoom or over the phone, removing the stress of travel.

Breakthroughs Can Occur in A Single Session

“Genuine game-changer”

Working with Fiona Spence, a rapid results life coach, using Advanced Conversational Hypnosis for breakthrough transformation.

“Working with Fiona Spence as my life coach was truly transformative.

Her approach to Advanced Conversational Hypnosis differed from my expectations; instead of a traditional technique, we engaged in a conversation that unveiled the power of my subconscious mind and its role in achieving my goals.

Fiona’s professional yet deeply empathetic manner created a safe and supportive environment, starting with small steps and celebrating each success. This experience has given me the confidence to navigate challenges and build momentum in my life.

I’m grateful for Fiona’s expertise in Advanced Conversational Hypnosis – a genuine game-changer.”

ACH Client Basil Mabusa

“It felt so easy”

Denise sharing her life-changing experience with Fiona Spence’s Advanced Conversational Hypnosis, finding clarity, confidence and reduced anxiety before her 55th birthday.

“I reached out to Fiona not long before my 55th birthday. I needed to get clear about what I wanted in my life and not feeling lost when things felt uncertain at work. I was focused on what I lacked, not what I had. It all seemed overwhelming and I didn’t know where to start.

After one session with Fiona of Advanced Conversational Hypnosis, I was clear on what was important to me and had achievable goals.

The clarity I gained in that session reduced my anxiety. I felt relaxed and confident, not something I usually feel. No longer the half-glass-full feeling! It felt so easy talking with Fiona. We covered so many topics, past experiences, future self, congratulating my younger self and celebrating me.

I am excited about my life, I am clear on what brings me happiness and what steps to take to get more out of life. Fiona feels like an life long friend and I highly recommend working with Fiona, she is amazing.”

ACH Client Denise Morrow

“I Stopped Ruminating”

“My experience with Fiona and Conversational Hypnosis was life-changing. I was in a desperate state and I felt my life was in complete disarray. I felt quite hopeless and suffered from severe rumination which had taken over my waking mind almost completely.

After my session with Fiona, the rumination had totally stopped and has not returned. I have a different perspective, can think much more clearly, feel positive about the future, can see what is important, quit drinking and feel regularly happy – all very significant changes.

I highly recommend Fiona Spence to anyone who is stuck or struggling with life. The changes are immediate and lasting.”

Frequently asked questions

I’ve answered 12 of the questions I’m asked most often in the video at the top of this page, “Is Advanced Conversational Hypnosis Right for You? 12 Questions Answered.” Here are answers to some additional questions you may have.

What if it won’t work for me?

No approach works for everyone, but many people who have tried traditional, script-based hypnosis and found it didn’t work for them find Advanced Conversational Hypnosis a very different experience.

ACH doesn’t rely on scripts or inducing a deep trance. It uses natural conversation to uncover the deeper patterns behind what’s keeping you stuck, which can make it a more effective approach for most people.

A good practitioner should also offer a complimentary Clarity Call, allowing you the opportunity to talk through what you want to change and make sure it is a good fit for you and what you are trying to achieve, before you decide to proceed.

Will you put me to sleep and do I have to keep my eyes closed?

In ACH, it’s your choice whether to keep your eyes open or closed during the session. While many prefer to have them open, feel free to close them if you wish. And, of course, you have the freedom to open them again whenever you like (unlike with traditional hypnosis where you have to wait until your practitioner tells you to open them.)

Will I lose control?

Absolutely not.

To quote one of my clients:

“I tried traditional hypnosis before I met you and I didn’t like it because I felt like I didn’t have control. I had to close my eyes and I was worried about what would happen. This is so much better. With my eyes open, I felt like I had full control, so I relaxed and allowed myself to go with the flow and enjoy the experience. It was amazing.”

In Advanced Conversational Hypnosis, you remain in control, and having your eyes open offers a sense of comfort and empowerment.

Can I control what I say during the session?

Absolutely, in Conversational Hypnosis, you maintain control over your words and actions throughout the session, as it revolves around a natural conversation.

How soon will I notice the effect of my ACH session?

The timing can vary from person to person, but typically, individuals begin noticing a difference within 24 to 48 hours following their session. After the session, you might feel the need to rest—this is entirely normal, and a nap can aid your subconscious in solidifying the changes needed for your progress.

The beauty lies in the fact that for many, the processing continues for weeks and months post-session, leading to ongoing remarkable results.

Can it be done by phone, on Zoom, Skype, etc.?

Yes, Conversational Hypnotherapy works very well by phone and online, and you have the benefit of not having to travel to your appointment!

How many sessions will I need?

In most cases, a single session is sufficient because we delve straight to the root cause of your problems. This means we skip the prolonged “getting to know you” discussions that other approaches may involve.

Recognising that you’ve carried your challenges for an extended period, my aim is to help you solve your problems without unnecessary delay.

Think of Advanced Conversational Hypnosis like untangling a complex knot: once we find the core thread keeping it tied, the entire pattern releases in one go, without needing weeks of incremental work.

How do I know that Hypnosis is right for me?

Choosing the right approach or coach can feel like a big decision, especially when you’re looking for real results. But how can you be sure it’s the right fit for you?

To know if hypnosis is the right fit, it helps to do a bit of research. Look for testimonials or reviews from people who’ve experienced this type of hypnotherapy—reading about their success stories can give you a clearer idea of how it works. Additionally, talking directly with a practitioner can help answer any specific questions you may have and clarify how the process might benefit you.

The best practitioners will generally offer a free chat so that you can make sure you have a good fit.

How can I learn Conversational Hypnotherapy?

I teach live courses throughout the year where you’ll learn how to use conversational hypnotherapy, which I call Hypno-Coaching, in a natural, easy way – no scripts or awkward techniques! You’ll discover how to speak directly to the part of someone that drives their decisions and behaviours, so you can help them create real, lasting change.
