Addiction can affect more than just your habits, it can impact how you feel, think, and live. Whether it’s been a long-standing struggle or something more recent, we can work together to help you feel more in control, grounded, and free.
Addiction is rarely just about the substance or behaviour itself. Whether it has been part of life for a long time or has become harder to manage recently, addiction can affect self-esteem, relationships, and sense of control. It can take up a huge amount of mental and emotional space. Many clients describe feeling stuck in a cycle, constantly searching for a way to break free.
While hypnotherapy is not a replacement for medical or clinical treatment, it can offer powerful support alongside it. Often, unresolved emotions, stress, or deeper beliefs drive the habit—and that is where hypnosis can help. The focus is on calming the nervous system, identifying root triggers, and helping regain a sense of calm, clarity, and self-trust.

About me
Change your story, change your life — fast and for good.
Hi, I’m Waqar. I’m a hypnotherapist and coach based in Harrow, specialising in RTT® (Rapid Transformational Therapy). I help people stop letting old fears, doubts, and habits run their lives. Whether it’s anxiety, low confidence, or patterns you don’t even realise are holding you back, I help you find them, challenge them, and shift them. This isn’t about endlessly analysing or repeating empty affirmations. It’s about uncovering the real stories beneath the surface and changing what’s driving you, because until that shifts, nothing on the outside will.
The result? You feel clearer, stronger, and more in control, not because you’ve “fixed” yourself, but because you’ve taken charge of what really matters.
Sessions are shaped around you and your individual needs
I use a mix of therapeutic techniques tailored to your goals
Noticeable, lasting change often within just 1–3 sessions
Expect fresh perspective, compassionate guidance and practical tools
There is a strong link between the mind and habit-forming behaviours, which is why hypnotherapy can be a supportive part of addiction recovery. Hypnosis works with the unconscious mind to explore what’s driving the habit beneath the surface. Through our work together, you can learn new tools to manage cravings, reduce emotional triggers, and begin to feel more in control again.
This is a focused and personalised approach, with many clients noticing meaningful shifts within just a few sessions.

Feedback from our recent customers
I wasn’t totally sure hypnotherapy was for me. I’d tried loads of things for anxiety and nothing really helped long-term. But after the first session, something just shifted. I still get the odd wobble, but that constant heavy feeling isn’t there anymore.

Anxiety RTT Session
I came to see Waqar as I felt had stuck for so long, wanting to change careers but felt held back. I thought I was just lazy, but Waqar helped me realise it was something deeper. Things have changed so much since and I have this buzzing energy to get things done. Huge thanks Waqar!

Understanding starts here, answers to your most common questions.
What is Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT® )?
RTT® is a transformative therapeutic approach designed to create rapid and lasting change. It combines various therapeutic techniques to identify, understand, and reframe limiting beliefs and thought patterns.
What is the difference between hypnotherapy and RTT®?
Hypnotherapy is carried out under hypnosis, and it can cover a wide range of practices.
Through hypnosis, the therapist gains access to the subconscious mind and then, using suggestion and convincers, the therapist aims to make long-lasting change. Typically, this can take between 6-10 sessions.
RTT® is different from standard hypnotherapy because it uses hypnosis to find the root cause of the client’s issue. Once clients understand how and when negative beliefs and behaviors were formed, they feel empowered to make real change. This awareness and knowledge means that change can happen more quickly than with standard hypnotherapy, as the client does not need convincing that change is possible – they know it. It’s the ultimate empowering experience
How does it all work, and what’s the science behind it?
We know thoughts shape our reality, but let’s dive deeper. The secret lies in our subconscious. When thoughts pop up, neurotransmitters, those messengers in our bodies, start reactions before thoughts turn into feelings and perceptions.
These feelings can swing positive or negative, revealing the science behind the power of our thoughts. Even though we might downplay our inner chatter as “little voices,” they’re a potent force in our minds.
So, how do we turn this science in our favour?
Positive neuroplasticity lets the mind reshape the brain. With mindfulness, clarity, and the right tools from a Rapid Transformational Therapist, cells become a breeding ground for change.
We can make the changes we crave in our minds and see them reflected in our lives. It’s about replacing limiting beliefs with positive ones, challenging those sneaky subconscious thoughts that can mess with our mental health and confidence.
The results kick in fast and stick around, especially when paired with hypnotherapy to tweak habits and spot triggers.
