Stress Management

Stress is a general trigger or cause of many many issues and if it is not managed correctly over a long time, it can build up and along the way we will also acquire some primitive ways of coping such as habits and behaviours. Over time, we then feel this is the norm and we find ourselves in a vicious cycle of symptoms versus negative thinking and doing. It affects our bodies in many ways including our sleep patterns.

  • We use sleep to empty out all the negativity from the day but if we are holding far too much of it, then our brain cannot do its job while we sleep and it will wake us up or prevent us from going to sleep because too much is going on in there. That’s where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy comes in. It will become your best friend. Fun and rewarding is how I describe it because it really is very friendly, no drugs involved, just talking, planning, changing, relaxing deeply and finally living.

Menopause Support

A calm, compassionate space to help you rebalance mind and body.

Navigating the menopause transition can feel overwhelming. Hormonal changes often intensify stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep disruption, hot flushes, brain fog and dips in confidence. When these symptoms build up, it’s easy to feel unlike yourself — emotionally, mentally and physically.

With a soft, supportive and rewarding approach, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy can gently help you feel more grounded, resilient and in control again. By reducing the stress response and calming the nervous system, releasing the right positive neurotransmitters in the brain, hypnotherapy supports the body’s natural balance, making it easier to cope with symptoms and daily life.

  • How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Helps During Menopause

    Reduce Stress & Anxiety

    Hypnotherapy helps quieten the fight-or-flight response, lowering cortisol levels and easing emotional overwhelm. Many clients report feeling calmer, clearer and more centred.

    Improve Sleep Quality

    Guided relaxation and positive suggestion work together to support deeper, more restorative sleep — a key factor in improving both physical and emotional wellbeing during menopause.

    Support Mood, Confidence & Emotional Balance

    Menopause can affect identity and self-esteem. Sessions gently encourage a more positive mindset, rebuilding confidence and helping you reconnect with a strong sense of self.

    Ease Physical Symptoms

    While not a medical treatment, hypnotherapy has shown promising results in reducing the intensity of hot flushes, calming the body’s stress signals and improving everyday comfort.

    Build Long-Term Resilience

    With a solution-focused approach, you’re supported in moving forward — creating habits, thoughts and behaviours that genuinely help you thrive through this transition and beyond.

    A Gentle, Personalised Approach

    Every woman’s menopause journey is unique. Sessions offer a nurturing, confidential space to explore what you’re experiencing without judgement. Together, we identify what’s working well, what you want to change, and how you want to feel moving forward.

    If you’re ready to feel calmer, clearer and more like yourself again, I’m here to help.

Phobias

Do you find yourself struggling with an intense fear of something that significantly hinders you from living the fulfilling life you truly desire? Does this fear consistently interfere with your day-to-day social activities, ultimately limiting your ability to pursue what you genuinely want?. Additionally, does it have an impact on those around you, affecting your relationships and their experiences as well?.

  • Phobias are something we dont always have any explanation for. Some can be the result of something in our past and some are just crazy with no explanation at all. They are however, still in the part of the brain that is primitive and controlled by the old thoughts and behaviours which can be re-trained

    Using similar methods that are used in the general sessions with an added technique called rewind and reframe, I will take you into a scenario using visualisation. This technique is very successful and liberating. We need to do 2 sessions to cover the full technique in its stages which need to be a week apart from each other.

ADHD & Neurodiversity

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for ADHD, OCD & Neurodiversity

Many neurodivergent people live with an extra layer of stress and anxiety — not because there’s anything “wrong” with them, but because everyday life can demand constant adapting, masking, planning, and coping. Overwhelm, racing thoughts, perfectionism, and emotional fatigue are incredibly common. When the brain is stuck in a high-alert state, it becomes harder to focus, regulate emotions, break unhelpful habits, or feel in control.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy supports ADHD, OCD and wider neurodiversity by helping calm the nervous system, re-balance emotions, and strengthen the brain’s ability to find solutions rather than problems.

  • What this approach helps with:

    • Reducing stress, anxiety and overwhelm

    • Calming intrusive thoughts

    • Building emotional balance and resilience

    • Improving focus, motivation and clarity

    • Breaking unhelpful thought patterns

    • Boosting confidence and self-esteem

    • Supporting better sleep and relaxation

    My clients often say sessions help them feel more grounded and able to navigate daily life with less pressure and more ease.

    How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Helps

    My sessions combine modern brain-based psychotherapy with gentle, relaxing trance work to help you:

    • Reduce stress and anxiety by calming the limbic system

    • Build emotional resilience and move away from overwhelm

    • Improve focus, motivation and clarity

    • Create new, helpful patterns of thinking and behaviour

    • Feel more grounded, confident and in control

    • Strengthen your ability to find solutions instead of feeling stuck in the problem

    Instead of analysing the past, we work together to build the future you want — step by step, at your pace. Each session is designed to be supportive, affirming and neurodiversity-positive, so you can feel safe, understood, and empowered.
