How I can support you
Improving
Sleep
Dread going to bed? Your mind starts racing, you can't switch off and you know you won't feel rested?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help quieten a busy mind and break unhelpful thought patterns that can make it difficult to switch off. By helping you understand how your brain responds to stress and relaxation, we can work towards creating calmer evenings and more restful sleep.
Managing Stress, Anxiety & Low mood
Does your brain struggle to switch off? Everything feels like alot and you struggle to relax?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you understand how your mind responds to stress and begin to shift patterns of thinking that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or stuck. By focusing on practical, positive changes, we can work towards feeling more in control and better able to navigate life’s challenges.
Navigating Big Life Changes
Life has changed and you feel like you've lost yourself? Recently become a parent, going through a divorce or career changes?
Big life changes can leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed or unsure of what comes next. Having the space to process what’s happening, reconnect with yourself and find a way forward can help you approach the next chapter with greater confidence.
Overcoming Fears & Phobias
Do you organise your life around avoiding the thing you fear? And now it's stopping you doing the things you want to do?
Fears and phobias can start to shape the way you live, often leading you to avoid things you’d really like to do. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you understand how your brain responds to fear and gradually change the patterns that keep that fear in place. By building new, more helpful responses, you can begin to feel more in control and feel free to do the things you want to do.
Building Confidence & Self- Esteem
Do you find it difficult to speak up, struggle to accept compliments or set personal boundaries? Do you wish you believed in yourself more?
Building confidence and self esteem is one of the biggest investments you can make in yourself. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you shift unhelpful patterns of self-doubt and change our self talk. When we talk to ourselves with more positivity it actually changes our brain chemistry. By developing supportive thought patterns and focusing on you, you can begin to feel more confident and capable in yourself and learn to completely trust in yourself.
Support through
Grief
Unsure how to carry on when everything has changed? Do you want to be able to make space for new experiences and moments of happiness whilst keeping their memory alive?
Grief can affect how we think, feel and cope with everyday life. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can provide a safe space to process what you’ve been through subconsciously through gentle relaxation techniques. This really helps as you don't need to keep reliving the past. It will ease the emotional weight and help you gradually build the resources you need to move forward.
Changing Unwanted Habits
Repeating the same patterns automatically despite wanting to change them? Sometimes you don't even realise you're doing it?
Unwanted habits such as nail biting, emotional eating, overthinking and even people pleasing, can become deeply ingrained patterns that feel difficult to change, even when you know you want to. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you understand the patterns behind your habits and develop new, more helpful ways of responding, making change feel more achievable and sustainable.
Stop
Smoking
You know you want to stop? You don't even enjoy smoking anymore, it's just an automatic habit?
Stopping smoking doesn't just focus on the habit, it involves the routines, triggers and thought patterns that have become associated with smoking. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you change these patterns and develop new responses, supporting you towards a smoke-free future.
Personal Growth & Performance Mindset
You’re capable and prepared, but nerves or overthinking get in the way of interviews, presentations, exams, sport, public speaking or important moments?
Whether you’re working towards a personal goal, preparing for a big moment or looking to perform at your best, your mindset can make a real difference. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you build confidence, focus on what you want to achieve and develop a more positive, supportive mindset for work, sport and everyday life. Through positive visualisation and gentle relaxation, we can train the brain to prepare for these moments so that you get the best out of yourself with confidence.
