Stressed-out Scots train passengers to get hypnotherapy to 'get into right mindset'

Ever been on a busy train and wish you were anywhere else? That’s now actually possible.

Stressed out rail passengers are being offered hypnotherapy sessions to get “into the right mindset”.

Avanti West Coast is now offering free visualisation technique courses on its West Coast Main Line services.

The West Coast Main Line runs from Glasgow Central to London Euston, stopping in major cities including Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool.

Lasting between three and 20 minutes, the sessions include overcoming tiredness or feelings of being overwhelmed, power napping assistance and guidance on improving productivity and confidence.

The wellbeing courses are available on Clementine, a hypnotherapy app, on mobile devices, tablets or laptops connected to trains’ onboard entertainment systems.

Bob Powell, customer proposition director at Avanti West Coast, said: "Taking the train is one of the most comfortable ways of getting to a destination.

"As we welcome our customers back to rail, this partnership is about helping them to get into the right mindset for the rest of the day, whether that's taking a much-needed rest or mentally preparing for that big presentation.

"We believe the onboard journey experience is as important as getting to the destination itself."

Clementine founder Kim Palmer said: "We are so excited to be partnering with Avanti West Coast and providing their customers with access to our game-changing hypnotherapy sessions for the first time.

"We believe in the power of hypnotherapy and making mental health tools accessible and achievable."
