Unlike more traditional analytical therapies, the solution-focused way doesn’t ask you to deep dive into all the things that are troubling you. It uses gentle hypnotic techniques to bring about safe, positive, lasting change.

For anyone unfamiliar with solution focused hypnotherapy, I like to think of it as coaching meets guided relaxation. It’s a partnership between us, where I ask the questions that help you identify the steps you need to take to feel better, whatever better means to you. This makes it a really empowering therapy – you are doing the work and finding your own solutions, I’m just the facilitator.

The trance work is similar to a guided meditation: you are deeply relaxed but in control at all times. This helps reduce stress and anxiety and boost your mood so that you can make great progress.

A love of healing & helping

I’ve always had a passion for health and wellbeing. I began my career working at a natural health magazine and was always the person my friends came to for advice on remedies and health matters. As a Virgo, I’m a natural helper and if I can see a way to optimise something or help someone be their best self, I take it!

I’ve had my own mental health struggles over my lifetime, from bouts of low mood and anxiety to birth trauma and recovery. After my first child was born in a dramatic delivery and with a brain injury from lack of oxygen, my world was broken open. It felt like nothing would ever be the same again and initially I was extremely depressed, anxious and overwhelmed.

This took me on a journey of figuring out how I was going to live a life I wasn’t expecting, as the parent of a child with a complex disability. I became determined that while many aspects of it were going to be hard, surely there could be a lot of joy as well.

The midset work I did and all the steps I took to become whole and happy changed me fundamentally as a person. Later when I discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, it became clear that there was neuroscience behind how I healed myself and I could learn to give others that helping hand too with the added power of trance.

Now more than ever we need resilience, flexibility and ways to manage life’s uncertainties and triggers. In my work I’m passionate about helping people to thrive not just survive. And I am living proof of how far you can rise after hitting rock bottom.

I trained with the prestigious Clifton Practice and am a fully qualified, insured and DBS-checked Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist.

How to work with me

Initial Consultation

Time: 60 minutes 
Cost: FREE

The initial consultation is a no-obligation information-gathering session where you tell me what you would like help with.

I share some neuroscience, explain how the brain works, how we can find ourselves in the situations we are unhappy with, and how I can help you decide how to move forward in life.

Solution Focused Sessions

Time: 60 minutes 
Cost: 
Single session £70
Block of 6 sessions £400
Block of 8 sessions £520
 

Solution focused hypnotherapy is a simple and quick method, usually taking just 8-12 sessions to get you back on track. These tend to take place weekly at first, moving to fortnightly or even monthly once you start to really get back on top of things.

Each person is different though - some people require fewer sessions and some need more. Others like to have ad hoc appointments (similar to getting a back massage when you feel a bit stiff - the odd session of hypnosis can ease mental knots and is a great way to maintain a healthy mind).

You can start again, from this very moment.

 

Whether you are feeling a little out of sorts or are at an all-time low with depression or anxiety, there is no requirement to understand the root of your problems in order to move on from them.

It’s all about working out where you are now and what will help you move forward to a happier, calmer, healthier you.
