# Business Description

Margaret Houghton Hypnotherapy & Complementary Therapies is a specialist clinic offering evidence-based therapeutic interventions to address psychological and behavioural challenges. Operating from Southport with online availability, the practice provides hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and life coaching to clients seeking meaningful change.

The business caters to individuals struggling with weight management, smoking cessation, anxiety, phobias, stress, and various addictive behaviours. They specialise in niche applications including sports performance enhancement, fear of flying, psychosexual concerns, and confidence for public speaking or wedding speeches. The innovative Hypno-Band programme represents a distinctive offering combining hypnotherapeutic principles with gastric band simulation techniques.

What distinguishes this practice is its comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach rather than relying solely on hypnotherapy. By integrating complementary therapies and evidence-based psychological techniques, Margaret Houghton addresses the root causes of presenting issues rather than surface symptoms. The flexibility of both in-clinic and remote Zoom sessions removes geographical barriers and accommodates busy schedules.

The therapist's diverse service portfolio demonstrates extensive training and expertise across multiple therapeutic modalities. This breadth allows tailored treatment plans addressing individual client needs. The inclusion of past-life regression alongside conventional therapeutic approaches also appeals to clients seeking holistic, spiritually-informed treatment options. Free initial telephone consultations enable potential clients to discuss concerns confidentially before committing to sessions.
