You're frustrated and feel like
you've tried everything...
I'm Jayne Corner, a psychotherapist specialising in gut-directed hypnotherapy and CBT for IBS. If you're like many of my clients, you've probably tried it all — the restrictive diets, the medications, the endless effort to figure things out on your own.
Yet your IBS symptoms still stop you from fully living your life, enjoying food like you used to, and feeling confident in your body. You're not alone — and you're in the right place. My unique combination of gut-directed hypnotherapy and CBT means you don't have to restrict your diet to get relief. We work on the root cause — the gut-brain connection — not just the symptoms. Whether you have IBS-C, IBS-D or mixed IBS, my approach can help.

IBS isn't about food.
It's about your gut-brain connection.
IBS is now classified as a Disorder of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) — meaning your gut and brain aren't communicating as they should. This is why diets and medications often fall short. They don't address the root cause.
Gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS works directly on this connection — retraining how your brain and gut communicate, calming visceral hypersensitivity, and reducing the anxiety driving your symptoms.
With 40 years of clinical research behind it, gut-directed hypnotherapy has been shown to reduce IBS symptoms in over 70% of people — with results maintained for up to five years. Recommended by NICE for IBS that hasn't responded to other treatments, and recognised in the American Gastroenterological Association's 2025 quality indicators for IBS care.
The science behind it

Normalise bowel speed

2.
Reduce gut sensitivity
Dials down the sensitivity of the nerves in your gut so you stop overreacting to even normal digestive processes.
3.
Restore the gut-brain axis
Retrains the communication between your brain and gut — calming the stress response that drives your symptoms.
