How does a mortgage work when your income is variable?

Hi there,
My income over the next couple of months and years is going to be more variable as I am doing a lot of self-employed work.
How does the mortgage application work in these instances?
I assume the banks require statements showing the incoming coming in and then your outgoings. How do they analyse it and what are they looking for? What other things will they need.
I just want to plan ahead because I will be applying for a mortgage in about a years time.
Cheers,
David

So what if I was a salaried employee up until April and then self-employed after that, would I have to be self-employed for 2-3 years before getting a mortgage?!?Debt 1 June 2017: £35,000.00 ~ Debt now: £10,0000 -
