We talk
What has been happening, what you have already tried, and what you would rather have instead. You do not need to arrive with the right words. Nothing is required of you in the first half hour except talking.

Anxiety, phobias, trauma, performance.
I’m Steve Mallinson. I work with people in Bristol and online, using NLP and clinical hypnotherapy — structured sessions for the patterns that willpower alone has not moved.

01 — How it starts
Four steps, in this order.
-
01
Free 15-minute call
A short conversation on the phone, at no charge. You describe what is going on; I tell you plainly whether I am the right person for it.
-
02
Initial session
One hour, £85. We take the history properly, agree what we are working on, and you have a first experience of the work itself.
-
03
A plan
Weekly or spaced, one hour or ninety minutes, single sessions or a pack. You leave knowing what the next few weeks look like.
-
04
Review
We look at what has changed and decide together whether to keep going, change direction, or stop.
02 — Specialisms
Seven things I work with
Each one below is something I see often enough to have built a way of working with it. It is not a complete list, and you do not have to name yours perfectly before you call.
-
01
NLP · hypnotherapy
Anxiety and panic
Anxiety that arrives without a reason you can point to, or with one, and stays longer than it should. We work on what sets it off, what keeps it going, and the calm you can return to in between.
-
02
NLP Fast Phobia Cure
Fears and phobias
Fears that have quietly narrowed what you do — flying, the tunnel, spiders, speaking in front of a room. I use the NLP Fast Phobia Cure, a short and tightly structured technique, worked through step by step.
-
03
NLP coaching
Peak performance
Work, speaking, sport, creativity. The same tools that settle a difficult state can be pointed the other way, at wanting more of something rather than less.
-
04
Blast-Technique®
Trauma and PTSD
Trauma from accidents, unresolved events or military service, worked with using the Blast-Technique® — a structured protocol I am trained in, at a pace you set rather than one the method demands.
-
05
1 hour · £199
Stopping smoking
A single session of an hour, for people who have decided to stop rather than people who have been told to. One fee of £199 for the hour.
-
06
Hypnotherapy
Pain
Hypnosis and deep relaxation change how much attention pain gets, and how it is read. Useful alongside medical care, not instead of it.
-
07
Self-hypnosis
Health and wellbeing
Self-hypnosis, deep relaxation and self-image work — the everyday practice that keeps the rest of the work in place once the sessions stop.
03 — Method
Two methods, one conversation
NLP works with how you think and respond. Clinical hypnotherapy works with the state you are in while you do it. In the room they are the same conversation, at your pace, in a quiet room.
Then
Hypnosis
You stay awake and aware, and in control of the choices you make in the room. I use language, suggestion and visualisation to settle the nervous system; the deep relaxation is useful in itself, and it is the ground we work on.
Between
Something to practise
You leave with a short piece of self-hypnosis, or a way of interrupting a pattern you have started to notice. The work between sessions is where it settles.
The programme
Six Weeks of Solutions
Six weekly sessions of NLP and hypnotherapy, one hour each, built around the specific thing you brought. The point of six weeks is consistency: enough time to work on the pattern, notice what changes, and correct course — with the same person throughout.
It is one way to work, not the only one. Single sessions and longer ninety-minute sessions are available, and the session packs below are the cheapest way to book a block.

04 — About
Steve Mallinson
I am an NLP Master Practitioner, a clinical hypnotherapist and a coach, working from a room at 10 Picton St in Montpelier and online.
My training in NLP began in 1990, with a diploma in hypnotherapy the year after, and I have kept adding to it since — the Blast-Technique® for trauma among them. Along the way I have trained with people who helped build the field, including Richard Bandler and Judith De Lozier.
I have a long-standing interest in neurolinguistics, positive psychology and hypnotherapy. What keeps it interesting is how quickly a pattern that has held for years begins to move once it is described properly and worked with directly.
Sessions are structured, but they are not scripts. What we do in week three depends on what happened in week two.
“My aim is to empower you to heal yourself from limiting mental or emotional patterns & physical conditions, enabling you to realise your greater potentials, skills and abilities, thrive and find happiness.”

What clients say
5.0
“The session was wonderful and put me in a fantastic state of mind, and definitely gave me tools, images and experiences that I am drawing on. I have been able to consistently replace negative self-talk with ‘How can I’s. That’s been easy, natural, and makes an immediate difference to my internal state – I can tell that I relax as soon as I make that shift.”
“I have been feeling very motivated since our NLP session. The part I draw back to is our exercise where we pictured the future me and how that would look and feel. I liked what I saw and know I can get there. Already I’m starting to speak like that person of the future in my meeting and phonecalls.”
“Contacted Steve as I was suffering with match nerves whilst playing table tennis. After five sessions of NLP I am enjoying my table tennis and winning matches again.”

Where, how and what to expect
The room
10 Picton St, Montpelier, Bristol BS6 5QA. A private room in central Bristol.
Open in Google MapsOnline
Sessions run over video as well as in the room. The same hour, the same structure, from wherever you are.
Before you book
The free call is fifteen minutes on the phone. Leave a mobile number and the times that suit you when you book, and I will call you then.
Cancellation
More than 48 hours’ notice and we rearrange at no charge. Between 28 and 48 hours, half the fee. Under 28 hours, the full fee. Sessions cannot usually run past their allotted time, so please arrive promptly — if you are late the session is shorter and charged in full.
Confidentiality. What you say in the room stays there, with the two exceptions anyone working this way has to keep: risk of serious harm to yourself or someone else, and a court order. Brief notes are kept securely and deleted when they are no longer needed.
One more thing. I do not see clients who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
