It's time to
Gentle, proven hypnotherapy that gets to the root of what's really keeping you stuck. Insomnia, anxiety, smoking, old habits, often gone in just a few sessions.
With Ann Borders, helping people on the Costa del Sol since 1999.
You don't have to keep living with it.
Whatever you're carrying, there's a calm, practical way through it. Here's where most people start.
Can't sleep
Wired at 2am, exhausted by day, dreading another restless night.
See how →Anxiety & panic
A racing mind and a body on edge that you just can't talk down.
See how →Want to quit
Smoking, vaping or drinking that has you, not the other way round.
See how →Confidence
That inner voice telling you you're not good enough. Time to change it.

Lying awake at 3am, again?
For most people, sleeplessness isn't really about sleep. It's an overactive mind, stress and worry that won't switch off. Hypnotherapy calms the nervous system and resolves what's actually keeping you awake, so sleep returns naturally. No pills, no grogginess.
Real changes, real people
Sometimes life brings events that nothing can prepare you for. No matter how strong or self-aware you believe you are, certain experiences can hit so deeply, intellectually and somatically, that your entire world is shaken. That happened to me when I discovered that my partner of more than 30 years had sought validation outside our marriage and kept it hidden. The aftermath was devastating. Despite my efforts to stay grounded, the impact showed up in my body and mind in ways I could not resolve on my own. After weeks of intense distress, I met Ann. From the very first session, the effect was remarkable. A single two-hour session restored my nervous system and mental clarity in a way I genuinely did not think was possible. A second session a week later helped consolidate that stability. Symptoms that had been overwhelming, anxiety, chest tightness, deep sorrow, emotional heaviness, resolved. In their place came calm, clarity, self-respect, and emotional steadiness, and they returned naturally rather than through effort or forcing. What stood out most about Ann is her presence. She met me first as a human being, and then as a highly skilled therapist. Her approach was candid, grounded, and deeply respectful of my experience. I’m profoundly grateful to Ann for helping me regain my footing at a moment when I needed it most.
Hypnotherapy for anxiety →I am a very open minded person but I would never imagine me being hypnotised, I’ve never thought about it. I’ve always been an exceptionally nervous traveler on aeroplanes, generally starting the day before I fly. The day of the flight it will get worse and whenever possible I will always try to be the last person to board. On the plane I will not speak, my hands become wet and I will constantly watch a film on my iPad to take my mind away from where I am. Ann explained that she could help me get over these feelings. I had nothing to lose so I agreed to be hypnotised. It has been absolutely incredible. I only had one session and directly after that session I was on my way to the airport. I wasn’t anxious, got on the plane without being last. I just didn’t understand what was happening to me, I was so calm and chatted, I never do that. The outbound flight had little trouble in the air but I’m writing this on the return journey which has been hitting some big ‘bumps’ in the air and it’s not bothering me at all. I don’t get it but I’m so thankful of Ann’s professionalism in dealing and helping me. It’s taken me 55 years to overcome these feelings. Thank you so much Ann.
Help with fears & phobias →Over the years but especially in retirement I have tried to stop drinking. I have tried many different methods to some degree of success. The thinking about it was never far away and the rational that it stemmed from some traumatic event the reason, it isn’t. It was so refreshing to have Ann’s sessions and being a born cynic I was so surprised my thoughts about drinking seem to have just disappeared. If I need a top up or reinforcement I will be back; so thank you.
Alcohol & drinking →Hi Ann. I want to thank you for last week’s session. You were right about the dreams.. I had a lot. Some of them didn’t make much sense to my conscious mind but in one of them I won an Olympic style swimming race... Anyway, I joined this really beautiful little gym with a swimming pool and have really enjoyed going along there during the week. I also walked around the mountain the other evening for a couple of hours.
About Timeline Therapy →Hi, thank you again for yesterday! I did dream a lot last night and feel very reflective today but in a peaceful way, so I’d say that is success!
About Timeline Therapy →I just wanted to say thank you so much for reprogramming my brain in such a short period of time.
How a session works →I’m going to England next week but when I come back, I’d like to get in touch with you about my mid week drinking habits. I’m still cracking open the crisp white wine every night after work and, despite enjoying it, am not happy about it.
Alcohol & drinking →I hope all is well with you and am looking forward to meeting again in the not too distant future. 👍🏼

Your mind races and your body won't switch off.
Constant worry, that tight-chest feeling, panic that comes from nowhere. It's exhausting to live on high alert. Together we calm the response and clear the original triggers underneath it, so you feel steady and in control again.
You've stopped before. This time, make it stick.
Willpower alone means fighting the craving every day. Hypnotherapy changes the habit where it actually lives, deep in the subconscious, so you simply stop wanting it. No sense of loss, no white-knuckling. Many people quit smoking or vaping in a single focused session.
Get out of your own way.
The harshest voice you hear all day is often your own. Whether it's self-doubt, fear of public speaking, or never feeling "enough", we quiet the inner critic and rebuild a steady, genuine self-belief, so you show up as the person you actually are.
What actually happens in a session
If the word "hypnosis" makes you picture stage tricks. Relax. It's nothing like that. It's calm, ordinary, and you're in control the whole time.
We talk first
A relaxed, honest conversation to understand what's going on and agree exactly what you want to change.
Deep relaxation
You settle into a calm, focused state, fully aware, never asleep, never out of control. Most people say it simply feels deeply relaxing.
Lasting change
Old patterns are gently replaced with healthier ones that serve you, addressing the cause, not just the symptom.
accredited
Warm, practical, and genuinely on your side.
Originally from Chester, I moved to Marbella in 1999 and have been helping people across the Costa del Sol ever since. After a career in business, I trained fully in hypnotherapy, and I've built my reputation on one simple thing: getting you a real result in as few sessions as possible.
I work with phobias, smoking, weight, alcohol and stress, anxiety, sleep and confidence. Whatever you bring, you'll be met with zero judgement, total confidentiality, and my full attention.
You owe it to yourself to get the best out of life.
