ABOUT ME
My name is Lana Lane, and I live in West Sussex in the UK.
The human brain has always fascinated me since it is the most
complex organ in our universe about which we know so little as to how it functions.
I am passionate about studying neurology to gain further understanding about how the brain works.
Introduction to hypnotherapy
Trance is, in fact, a state that everyone experiences daily – it can be while watching a ballet in the theatre, listening to music, concentrating on particular work, and even driving a familiar route home or to the office for example.
For therapeutic reasons, one could think of hypnosis as a meditation that one can learn to enter knowingly and purposefully. Afterward, suggestions are made vocally or visually with an eye towards achieving the intended result. This could be done to control the side effects of drugs, reducing anxiety by accessing tranquility and relaxation, or alleviate pain or other symptoms. Hypnosis is typically a calming experience, which can be pretty beneficial for a patient who is tense, stressed, worried depressed or has addiction issues . Hypnosis’s main advantage is that it enhances the power of positive advice and gives access to mind-body connections and the unconscious thought processes. In addition to being used to lessen emotional suffering, hypnosis may also have an immediate impact in reducing a patient’s level of pain
Since the beginning of time, hypnotic states have been used for healing. Still, because they can be abused for so-called entertainment and because hypnosis has been portrayed in the media as a mysterious, magical state that is ostensibly beyond the control of the hypnotised subject, many medical professionals are skeptical of it. Yet thanks to recent developments in neurology, we can now start to understand the positive possibilities when someone enters a hypnotic state.
I graduated from the University of Southampton, studying biomedical science and neuroscience. I am a King’s College London student studying Applied Neuroscience (Msc). My desire is to join research teams and study memory, brain aging, and mental disorders.
My calling is to help people with mental conditions and provide them with the support they seek. I currently work part time at a care home for people suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
I was accepted into the hypnotherapy course in Brighton in 2022, where I learned hypnotherapy practices and how to apply solution-focused hypnotherapy to help treat many mental conditions and to help patients to cope better with whatever issues and problems they may have in their lives.
While hypnosis is not a cure in and of itself, it can be a tool that makes therapy delivery easier, much like how a syringe makes the distribution of medicine possible and more efficient. Hypnosis can assist patients in believing in themselves and giving positive mental support with whatever they may wish to accomplish, however it cannot make the impossible feasible.
Education
- Graduated Bachelor of science (with honours) in Biomedical Science from the University of Southampton
- Currently studying for Master of Science in Applied Neuroscience at KING’S College London, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience.
- Completed Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy course, level 4, Brighton, specialised in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
I am a member of

Experience
Bachelor of Biomedical Science 4 year course with medical and biological laboratory experience in the University of Southampton (the University is known as one of the best universities in biomedical science and research in the world). I have completed the course with disciplines including neuroscience, genetics, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry, pharmacology and neuropharmacology to name some.
My final dissertation was about the protein clathrin that plays significant role in synaptic vesicle reformation (fundamental in recycling and transmitting chemicals known as neurotransmitters and passing the signals across the brain tissue), hence, important for brain functioning and health.
I have practiced hypnotherapy sessions throughout my courses and have over 100 hours of experience with people from different backgrounds ranging from CEOs of international companies to students and children. I have worked and helped people with addictions, stress related issues, depression and suicidal tendencies.
I have 3.5 years’ experiences from working in a care home for people who suffer from Alzheimer and Parkinson’s disease also having anxiety, pain, aging, stress issues et cetera.
Previously I also worked in children intensive unit, and I was certified in Anaesthesiology and resuscitation science
