The Founders Story by Freddie Pateman: The Visionary Behind The Evidence-Based IBS Hypnotherapy Program - (over 25 years' experience)
Hello, I’m Freddie Pateman, the founder and driving force behind The Evidence-Based Hypnotherapy Program @ The Confidence Clinic™.
My journey didn’t begin in the world of hypnotherapy—it started in the fast-paced business world, where I once led a team of 30 brilliant individuals. While we celebrated many successes, I felt an undeniable pull toward something deeper. Beyond the spreadsheets and strategy meetings, I longed to explore the transformative power of the human mind, the resilience of the spirit, and the potential for true healing.
This calling set me on an extraordinary path of self-discovery and professional growth. Over the years, I’ve earned qualifications as a psychoanalyst, hypnotherapist, psychotherapist, NLP Master, and Educational Kinesiologist. Each step deepened my understanding of the profound connection between the mind and body.
More than two decades ago, I brought my vision to life by founding The Confidence Clinic™ on London’s iconic Harley Street. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless individuals unlock their potential, overcome emotional barriers, and transform their lives.
How Can I Help You?
Through years of experience, I’ve found my true calling: helping individuals manage and overcome the symptoms of IBS. Drawing from the insights gained from helping thousands of clients, I developed The Evidence-Based Hypnotherapy Program—a 6-week program built on the foundations of my proven approach. This program blends hypnotherapy, hypnoanalysis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to deliver powerful, lasting results.
Why hypnotherapy? Because the science supports its effectiveness. Clinical trials have shown that gut-directed hypnotherapy is as effective as the low FODMAP diet in improving IBS symptoms. Out 2-in-1 approach combines this with subconscious retraining as demonstrated in our free 15-minute webinar.
