# Margaret Houghton Hypnotherapy & Complementary Therapies

Margaret Houghton operates a specialist hypnotherapy and NLP practice in Southport, offering evidence-based psychological therapies for anxiety, phobias, fears and confidence issues. With extensive training in Neuro Linguistic Programming and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, she delivers tailored treatment plans addressing both the root causes and symptoms of psychological difficulties.

The practice serves individuals struggling with anxiety disorders, specific phobias (including fear of flying), public speaking nerves, and confidence-related challenges. Margaret also works with clients seeking to break unhelpful habits such as smoking, vaping and excessive alcohol consumption, alongside treating weight management and IBS through therapeutic intervention.

What distinguishes this practice is its comprehensive therapeutic approach combining multiple modalities. Rather than relying solely on hypnosis, Margaret integrates NLP techniques, CBT principles and life coaching within her treatment framework. This multi-faceted methodology allows for deeper psychological work and more sustainable behavioural change. The business also offers flexibility through both in-clinic sessions in Southport and remote Zoom appointments, making therapy accessible regardless of location.

Her service range extends beyond anxiety treatment to include sports hypnosis for performance enhancement, past life regression, and psychosexual therapy, demonstrating considerable clinical breadth. Testimonials feature on the website, indicating established credibility and client satisfaction. The free initial telephone consultation removes barriers to engagement, allowing prospective clients to discuss their concerns confidentially before committing to treatment.
