Is IBS controlling your day?
Are flare-ups, urgency, or anxiety about your gut running your life?
If your tests are “normal” but your symptoms are very real, you’re not imagining it.
Online specialist Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy for US clients
Evidence-based and structured.
Start Calming Your IBS Today
I offer one-to-one online IBS hypnotherapy for US clients, integrating evidence-based CBT with specialist gut-directed hypnotherapy to calm the nervous system, reduce flare-ups, and support steadier digestion.
If you’re tired of planning your day around bathrooms, pushing through bloating, or waking up anxious about your stomach, this work is designed to bring real relief.
Across a structured series of personalised sessions, we retrain the gut–brain response, reduce stress-linked digestive loops, and rebuild trust in your body - so you can eat, move, and live with calm confidence again.
This is personalised one-to-one therapy - not a self-guided app or generic audio program.
Working with US Clients Online
✅ Online sessions via secure Zoom or Session Link

What Most Clients Notice
Session 1 — reduced gut tension + a calmer stress response
Sessions 2–3 — fewer urgency spikes + improved meal confidence
Sessions 4–6 — steadier digestion patterns + a more regulated nervous system
Long-term — stronger resilience to flare triggers (benefits are often long-lasting in research)
This program is shaped by both research and real client experience - not theory alone.
How This Helps IBS (In Simple Terms)
IBS symptoms often persist because the gut and nervous system get stuck in a learned stress-response loop. CBT helps change the thought–stress–symptom cycle, while gut-directed hypnotherapy helps retrain the gut’s response at a deeper regulation level. Together, we reduce the sensitivity of the system, so symptoms settle and confidence returns.

Does This Sound Like You?
Many of my clients describe the same experience: feeling stuck, tense, and constantly worried about how their gut will behave each day.
You might recognise yourself in some of these:
-
Your gut reacts the moment you feel stressed.
-
You plan outings around where the nearest bathroom is.
-
You avoid events because you don’t trust your body.
-
You wake up already tense, wondering if today will be another flare-up.
-
You feel anxious before meals or social situations.
-
You’ve tried diets and supplements but nothing has calmed both your gut and your mind.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone - and this is exactly what Gut-Mind Therapy is designed for.
If you’ve been told ‘it’s just IBS’ but it still feels unpredictable, this is why…
IBS isn’t just about food or digestion. Supporting IBS effectively often means addressing how your brain and nervous system respond to stress.
This is especially important if you experience IBS flare-ups, urgency, or find yourself constantly thinking about your symptoms.
How CBT and Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy Help IBS
Why IBS Feels So Unpredictable (Gut–Brain Axis Explained)
IBS is not just a digestive issue. It involves the gut–brain axis - the ongoing communication between your brain, nervous system, and digestive system.
When this communication becomes disrupted, the gut can become more sensitive and reactive, especially during periods of stress.
Here’s what’s happening:
• IBS involves disrupted communication between the brain and gut
• Stress can increase gut pain sensitivity, making symptoms feel stronger and harder to control
• The vagus nerve links emotional stress to digestion, motility, and urgency
• Gut-directed hypnotherapy has been shown to improve IBS symptoms in around 70–80% of cases
• CBT helps change the patterns that keep flare-ups active and ongoing
Together, these approaches help reduce gut reactivity and support a more stable, predictable digestive system.

Client Testimonials

Kym helped me sort out the problems with my stomach and the anxiety I used to feel every day. I don’t get those issues before school anymore, and now I only need to get up 30 minutes before I leave instead of two hours.

This program has helped me so much. I can finally trust my body enough to go out for lunch or dinner without worrying about the bathroom or what I can eat. It’s honestly changed my life.

Before working with Kym, I was constantly overthinking and my gut symptoms were always flaring. I feel calmer, clearer, and far more confident now. My stomach is settled, and I finally understand how to manage my symptoms instead of worrying about them. I would highly recommend this program.
