Meet Tony

If you've tried diet changes, medication, and elimination protocols and you're still stuck with IBS, you're not alone — and you haven't run out of options.

I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy, and I help adults with IBS find lasting relief through The Gut-Brain Recalibration Programme — a structured, evidence-based approach that works alongside your medical care, not instead of it.

I know how isolating IBS can feel when nothing else has worked. My approach is grounded in over 40 years of clinical research, delivered with plain-language explanations and no pressure — just a clear path forward.

Curious whether this approach could work for you?

Tony Yuile - Gut Directed Hypnotherapist

Clinical Hypnotherapist and Mind-Body Practitioner

Specialising in Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support

My Approach

My protocol integrates evidence-informed Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy (GDH) with supportive elements of Cognitive Behavioural and Acceptance and Commitment-informed techniques, built on over 40 years of international clinical research into the gut-brain axis. After years focusing on stress and nervous system regulation, I became deeply interested in how the gut and brain communicate — and how supporting that regulation can assist in long-term symptom management.

What This Means for You

"I support clients in exploring their gut-brain connection to help manage functional digestive conditions, giving you practical tools to navigate the impact IBS has on daily life. This mind-body focus offers a specialised, complementary perspective on digestive wellbeing — designed to work alongside your medical care, not replace it."

Note: A formal medical diagnosis of IBS from a GP or Gastroenterologist is required before beginning this programme.

My Values

When it comes to supporting people in achieving meaningful, long-term management of their IBS, I believe clarity, compassion, and credibility matter. Here’s what guides my work:

Evidence First, Always

I use clinically-researched Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy as a foundation, enhanced by supportive elements of Cognitive Behavioural techniques and other mind-body modalities.

Empowerment Over Dependence

My goal is not to “fix” you—but to equip you. I help you understand the gut-brain connection and provide tools to support nervous system regulation. This work is designed to foster autonomy, providing you with skills for the long term.

Calm, Clear Communication

If you have felt unheard in your health journey, I provide a space for clear, plain-language explanations. I share the science in ways that make sense - no jargon, no hype - so you can make informed decisions about your wellbeing.

Safety + Integrity

Everything I offer is trauma-informed, respectful of your boundaries, and grounded in professional ethics. I’ll never make promises I can’t keep. While the journey requires commitment, I will walk alongside you with honesty and care.

Support for the Whole Person

IBS doesn't just affect your gut — it can affect your confidence, your relationships, and how you show up at work. I look at the whole picture, not just the symptoms.
