Hypnotherapy in Manchester City Centre
Take a moment to consider: what do you wish you could change?
I’m Adrian Tannock, a hypnotherapist based in Manchester. Since 2005, I have offered hypnotherapy in Manchester city centre to help people with issues such as anxiety, overthinking, procrastination, low self-esteem, phobias, insecurity, and chronic stress.
My work focuses on helping people understand themselves more clearly and move beyond whatever is keeping them stuck. I offer a practical, integrative style of therapy that supports meaningful change in how people think, feel, and act. My aim is to help you work towards your goals and live a fuller life.

Hypnotherapy in Manchester and Online
Life can be difficult, and it is normal to become caught up in unhelpful struggles. My starting point is to break the situation down so we can understand it more clearly. The aim is not to judge but to understand what is going on and how you can respond differently.
I combine hypnotherapy with other therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and compassion-focused approaches. Depending on your needs, sessions may include hypnosis, goal setting, mental rehearsal, practical strategies, therapeutic conversation, and ways of working with thoughts, feelings, habits, and bodily responses.
My style of therapy is active and collaborative, and shaped by your needs, goals, and circumstances. The relationship really matters. We will work methodically towards the kind of life you want to build. Where helpful I may suggest exercises or experiments to practice with between sessions. There is always a plan.

“Adrian helped me to believe that I have as much value as anybody else in this world, and this has truly stuck with me, having a knock-on effect on all aspects of my life. He is a true professional, whose grasp of the human mind and how it works is astonishing. I have no doubt that he could assist anyone whose frame of mind is holding them back in life…”
