BELFAST HYPNOTHERAPY CENTRE
Hypnotherapy in Belfast, Ballymena, Coleraine and Omagh
Alan Gilchrist runs his Hypnotherapy practice from 37 Lisburn Road in Belfast, with one-day clinics held in Ballymena, Coleraine and Omagh. He has been practising for over 40 years and describes his Fast Track Hypnosis system as a direct, focused approach for people who have already decided they want to change, rather than a long course of open-ended sessions.
Alan has worked with over 95,000 clients in Northern Ireland and further afield, and his practice has multiple award-winnings. Most people come for smoking, vaping, weight or a specific fear or nerve-related problem that is getting in the way of something concrete, such as a flight, an exam or a driving test.

The Fast Track Approach
Fast Track Hypnosis is presented as practical, fast and focused rather than drawn out, with the stop-smoking work taking just under 30 minutes. The thinking behind it is that people who arrive already committed do not need weeks of preparation, so the session goes straight at the habit or the response you want changed.
Clinic Locations
The main practice is in Belfast on the Lisburn Road. One-day clinics are also held in Ballymena, Coleraine and Omagh, which means you do not have to travel to Belfast if you are in Mid Antrim, on the north coast or in the west.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the clinics? The main practice is at 37 Lisburn Road, Belfast, BT9 7AA. One-day clinics also held in Ballymena, Coleraine and Omagh. Ring 028 9033 3303 to ask when the next clinic is scheduled for the location nearest you.
How long does the stop smoking session take? The stop smoking work is completed in under 30 minutes. That applies to smoking and vaping. Other issues may be structured differently, so confirm the format when you ring to book.
How much experience does Alan Gilchrist have? He has been practising Hypnotherapy for over 40 years and has seen over 95,000 clients. Longevity matters in this field because the same problems present differently in different people, and four decades of sessions is a lot of variation to have worked through.
What is the virtual gastric band? It is a Hypnotherapy approach to weight control in which suggestion is used to encourage the feeling of being full on smaller portions, without any surgery involved. It is a technique for changing eating habits rather than a medical procedure, and it is offered as an alternative to the Fast Track Weight Control session
Will Hypnotherapy work for me? Alans very successful practice is built around people who have already decided they want to change, so being ready to make the change is the most important factor you bring to the session. Discuss or email your situation with Alan beforehand so you get a realistic view.
Can Hypnotherapy help with anxiety and insomnia? Anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia are among the issues Alan works with. Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy rather than a medical treatment, so if a problem is ongoing or severe it is worth speaking to your GP as well.
What does a session involve? Alans approach is direct and focused, aimed at the specific habit or response you want to change rather than open-ended exploration. Nothing happens against your will and you remain aware throughout, which is the point most people want reassurance about before their first session.
How do I book an appointment? Ring 028 9033 3303 or Whats App 07889 988075, or use the contact details at alangilchrist.com. and mention which location suits you so you can be offered a Belfast appointment or a regional clinic date.
