Hypnotherapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex condition characterised by extreme, persistent fatigue that does not improve with rest. It can affect both physical stamina and mental clarity, often accompanied by symptoms such as muscle aches, headaches, poor concentration, and disrupted sleep. The exact cause is not fully understood, and it often requires a multi-layered approach to management.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help People with CFS

While hypnotherapy is not a cure for CFS, it can be a valuable complementary treatment. By working with the mind-body connection, hypnotherapy can help to:

• Reduce stress and anxiety – Calming the nervous system can ease the emotional and physical strain of CFS.
• Support restorative sleep – Guided hypnosis can encourage deeper, more refreshing rest.
• Boost energy management – Hypnotherapy can help reframe energy use and reduce the mental fatigue that worsens physical exhaustion.
• Improve coping skills – Builds mental resilience and a sense of control over daily life.
• Manage symptoms – Gentle mind-body techniques can reduce the intensity of pain, headaches, and other discomforts.

What to Expect in a Hypnotherapy Session for CFS

Your first session will begin with a relaxed conversation about your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. You will then be guided into a calm, focused state where positive suggestions and visualisations are used to support your specific needs such as energy renewal, relaxation, and pain relief. You remain fully conscious and in control throughout.
