Hypnotherapy Services Across Tyrone, Derry / Londonderry and Fermanagh with Award Winning Hypnotherapist, Alan Gilchrist
I hold Fast Track Hypnosis clinics in the Silverbirch Hotel, Omagh for people across County Tyrone, County Fermanagh and Derry / Londonderry who are tired of feeling stuck in patterns that never seem to ease. Many of the people who come to see me here are not looking for long therapy programmes. They want calm, clarity and the ability to get on with their lives again.
Over the years I’ve worked with people from Strabane, Dungannon, Cookstown, Enniskillen, Irvinestown and Magherafelt who describe the same thing in different ways. Constant tension. Poor sleep. A sense that their mind never fully switches off. Some link it to a specific event. Others can’t. What they usually have in common is that they’ve been carrying it for a long time.
I’ve been practising hypnotherapy in Northern Ireland for more than forty years, and you can read more about my background and how this work developed on my About page at https://www.alangilchrist.com/about-alan-gilchrist/.
Why Fast Track Hypnosis Suits This Part of Northern Ireland
Fast Track Hypnosis was developed by me because traditional hypnotherapy was often too slow for people who just wanted relief. In areas like Tyrone and Fermanagh, I’ve worked with many clients who have lived with anxiety for years and have no interest in revisiting painful memories or analysing the past in detail.
This approach works directly with the subconscious response that keeps the body on high alert. The goal is not to relive experiences, but to help the nervous system stand down. That difference matters for people who are already emotionally tired.
The method has been tested publicly over the years, including televised work where I helped clients overcome severe fears, such as the fear of flying. That programme is still available to view at https://www.alangilchrist.com/fear-of-flying-tv-programme/, and it gives a realistic picture of how this type of hypnosis works in practice.
I’ve also written more generally about why Fast Track Hypnosis can have such a broad impact on wellbeing in this article: https://www.alangilchrist.com/7-surprising-health-benefits-of-fast-track-hypnosis/.
Anxiety, Overthinking and Sleep Problems
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people attend the Omagh clinic. It doesn’t always show itself as panic attacks. Often it appears as constant overthinking, irritability, physical tension or poor sleep.
Hypnosis helps calm the subconscious signals that keep the body alert when there is no real danger present. When that internal alarm settles, sleep often improves naturally and people describe feeling clearer and more grounded during the day.
If you want a clear explanation of how hypnosis works with anxiety, I’ve explained it in plain terms here: https://www.alangilchrist.com/how-does-hypnosis-help-anxiety/.
Sleep issues are closely linked, particularly when anxiety has been present for years. I’ve written more about this connection and how hypnosis can help restore natural sleep patterns at https://www.alangilchrist.com/achieve-restful-sleep-and-beat-insomnia/.
For people who prefer to try something first before booking, there’s also a free relaxation session available here: https://www.alangilchrist.com/free-relaxation-session-by-alan-gilchrist/.
Emotional Habits, Weight and Comfort Eating
Weight issues in this part of Northern Ireland are very often linked to stress rather than hunger. Many people attending the Omagh clinic describe eating out of habit, comfort or stress rather than appetite.
The Virtual Gastric Band is one of the tools I use to help reduce portion size naturally, but the more important work often involves calming emotional eating triggers. Hypnosis allows that process to happen quietly and without judgement.
I explain this approach in more detail here: https://www.alangilchrist.com/alan-gilchrists-approach-to-emotional-eating-with-fast-track-hypnosis/.
You can also read a broader explanation of how Fast Track Hypnosis supports weight loss and behavioural change at https://www.alangilchrist.com/10-surprising-benefits-of-fast-track-hypnosis-for-weight-loss/, along with real client feedback at https://www.alangilchrist.com/weight-control-gastric-band-reviews/.
Stop Smoking When You’re Ready to Be Finished
People attending the Omagh clinic to stop smoking often say the same thing. They’re not looking for motivation. They just want the urge gone.
Fast Track stop smoking hypnosis takes around thirty minutes and works by removing the subconscious drive to smoke, rather than asking you to fight cravings. More detail on how that works is available here: https://www.alangilchrist.com/hypnosis/stop-smoking/, along with client experiences at https://www.alangilchrist.com/stop-smoking-reviews/.
Fears, Phobias and Quiet Confidence
I’ve helped people from across Tyrone and Fermanagh overcome fears that had been limiting their lives for years. These include fears of flying, driving, medical procedures, animals and everyday situations that most people take for granted.
There is a full list of common phobias available at https://www.alangilchrist.com/a-z-of-phobias/, and many people are surprised to recognise their own experience there.
Confidence issues also bring people to the Omagh clinic, particularly driving test nerves, interview anxiety and exam pressure. If confidence is something you’re struggling with, you may find this page helpful: https://www.alangilchrist.com/grow-your-confidence/.
How Omagh Fits With My Other Clinics
Alongside the Silverbirch Hotel, Omagh, I also run regular Fast Track Hypnosis clinics in Coleraine and Ballymena. People living along the North Coast often choose Coleraine, while those in County Antrim tend to attend Ballymena. Omagh remains the most practical option for clients in Tyrone, Fermanagh and west Derry.
All locations and clinic dates are listed here: https://www.alangilchrist.com/one-day-clinics-2/.
Some clients attend Omagh initially and later book a follow-up session at another location, depending on what suits them at the time.
What to Expect From a Session
Sessions in Omagh are calm, private and focused. We spend a short time clarifying what you want to change, and then I guide your mind into a relaxed, attentive state where change becomes easier. You are not asleep, and you remain fully aware and in control throughout.

What issues do people from Tyrone and Fermanagh usually attend for?
Most clients attending the Omagh clinic come for anxiety, long-term stress, poor sleep, emotional eating and smoking. Many describe carrying tension for years and wanting practical relief rather than long-term therapy.
Can hypnosis help with long-standing anxiety or stress?
Yes. Many people attending from rural parts of Tyrone and Fermanagh have lived with anxiety for a long time. Fast Track Hypnosis focuses on calming the subconscious stress response rather than revisiting past events, which makes it suitable even when anxiety has been present for years.
