If you live with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you know how disruptive it can be, physically, emotionally, and mentally. From bloating and cramping to unpredictable flare-ups and food sensitivities, IBS can impact your daily life and leave you feeling frustrated, anxious, or out of control.
Many clients I work with have tried everything, medications, diet changes, endless testing—yet still find themselves stuck in a cycle of discomfort and stress. What many don’t realise is how closely the gut and brain are linked. That’s why hypnotherapy for IBS is now recognised as a powerful, natural way to manage symptoms and restore a sense of calm from the inside out.
Through RTT® hypnotherapy, we work with the subconscious mind to reduce anxiety, reset stress responses, and support healthier gut function, helping you take back control of your body and feel more at ease.
IBS is more than a digestive condition, it’s influenced by your nervous system, your thoughts, and how your body responds to stress. When you’re in a constant state of worry or tension, your body releases stress hormones that affect gut motility, sensitivity, and inflammation.
RTT for IBS focuses on reducing those unconscious stress signals. By calming your nervous system, we can reduce the triggers that lead to IBS flare-ups and help your body move into a more balanced, healing state.

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

RTT® (Rapid Transformational Therapy) is a powerful method that works directly with the subconscious mind, the part of your brain that controls involuntary responses like digestion, tension and stress.
During hypnosis, we access the underlying thought patterns and emotional triggers that may be worsening your IBS symptoms. Whether it’s a fear of losing control, long-term stress, or feeling unsupported, RTT® helps you understand and shift the root causes, while promoting calm, balance, and regulation in your body.
Research has shown that gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS can significantly reduce symptoms, especially when anxiety is part of the picture. It’s not about pretending the symptoms away, it’s about retraining your brain to respond differently, so your gut can start to settle.
Signs IBS Is Affecting More Than Just Your Digestion
Avoiding travel or plans due to fear of symptoms
Feeling anxious, out of control or hypervigilant about food
Low energy, poor sleep or reduced focus due to discomfort
Self-consciousness or shame around your body
Feeling stuck or hopeless after trying everything else
Emotional ups and downs linked to gut health
Restrictive eating patterns or fear of food reactions
Take a Calmer, More Supportive Approach to IBS
Hypnotherapy for IBS offers more than symptom relief, it helps you rebuild trust in your body. By calming your nervous system and shifting unhelpful subconscious patterns, we can reduce symptom frequency and intensity over time.
In our RTT® sessions, I’ll guide you into a deeply relaxed state where your body can begin to let go of the stress, fear and tension it’s holding. We’ll use this state to reframe old beliefs, restore inner calm, and rewire the way your mind and body respond to stress and digestion.
If you’re ready to take a more holistic, empowering route to managing your IBS, get in touch to find out how RTT hypnotherapy for IBS could help you feel free, calm, and back in control.

Real 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.
