About me
If you’ve found your way here, something in life may have been feeling heavy, overwhelming, or “stuck”. Perhaps your mind feels busy, your confidence has dipped, or you’re simply not feeling like yourself. You may have been holding everything together for a long time, and now you're looking for support that feels calm, safe, and genuinely helpful.
If you’re looking for someone who truly gets it, gets you, the overwhelm, the pressure, the spirals, the strengths?, I’m here to support you with compassion, humour, and deep respect for who you are.
About
My name is Alana Holland, and I provide online Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy to clients in Cheshire and across the UK.
I trained with CPHT Chester, and I work online so therapy can be accessible, consistent, and comfortable, especially for clients who prefer the privacy and ease of being in their own home.
Working online also means fewer logistical pressures: no travel, no waiting rooms, no sensory overwhelm. Just a quiet, focused space that fits your life.
Online hypnotherapy offers the same benefits as in-person work, with the added comfort of being in your own familiar surroundings. Clients often say they feel:
- calmer and more in control
less overwhelmed
clearer about what they want
more able to make decisions
more optimistic and motivated
My approach is future-focused, gentle, and supportive — ideal if you want to build momentum, without revisiting difficult experiences and re-living the past.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades navigating life with an undiagnosed ADHD brain. The masking, the burnout, the “why is this so hard for me?” moments. They shaped me, challenged me, and ultimately led me to the work I do today. My lived experience gives me a level of empathy, insight, and authenticity that textbooks simply can’t teach.
In my practice, I offer a calm, supportive, neuro-affirming space where you don’t have to perform, mask, or explain yourself. I use Solution Focused Hypnotherapy to help clients reduce stress, find clarity, and create meaningful change without dwelling on the past. My approach is gentle, practical, and rooted in understanding how differently wired minds work.
I specialise in supporting clients who feel "misunderstood", overloaded or out of sync with themselves, including neurodivergent clients navigating:
- emotional overwhelm
masking and burnout
busy minds and overthinking
dips in motivation or confidence
difficulty switching off
sensory or social fatigue
You don’t need to explain your wiring in our sessions. You can simply be yourself, without judgment.
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy blends:
- solution-focused brief therapy approaches (SFBT)
positive psychology
calm, relaxing trance work
practical explanations of how stress affects the brain
The trance state is simply a quietly focused, deeply relaxed state where your mind becomes open to useful, gentle suggestions aligned with your goals.
There is no pressure, no “going under”, and no reliving painful memories.
Before anything else, I offer a free 5-minute call so you can get a sense of me and ask any initial questions.
If you choose to go ahead, your 60-minute Initial Consultation includes:
- exploring what brings you here
learning how stress and the brain interact
looking at what you’d like to experience more of
creating a simple, clear, forward-looking plan
receiving your relaxation MP3 to use at home
Clients often describe this session as a moment where things begin to make sense again.
Who do I work with?
I work with adults and young people (16+) who want support with:
- stress and emotional overwhelm
anxiety-related patterns
busy minds / difficulty switching off
low confidence
motivation and focus
sleep issues
specific fears or phobias
low mood
driving nerves
general wellbeing and emotional balance
neurodivergence-related challenges - All work is delivered online, so you can access support from anywhere in the UK.
If you’re looking for someone who truly gets it, gets you, the overwhelm, the pressure, the spirals, the strengths?, I’m here to support you with compassion, humour, and deep respect for who you are.
