About me
Hi, I am Alison Sheen, a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist dedicated to helping you feel calmer, more confident, and back in control of your life.
With over 25 years of experience in Biology education and pastoral care, I’ve spent much of my career supporting people not just academically, but emotionally too. This deep-rooted passion for wellbeing naturally led me to train as a hypnotherapist, and I now combine my scientific background with proven therapeutic techniques to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.
I hold a BSc, PGDE, Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DFSH), and the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD), and trained with the highly regarded CPHT Hypnotherapy Training School in Edinburgh.
I mainly support women who are navigating significant life changes and may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, lacking in confidence, or stuck. I help them build practical strategies to manage everyday challenges with greater strength and self-belief, so they can regain a sense of control and move toward a more fulfilling life.
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can progress at a pace that feels right for you and clients often tell me they feel at ease with my warm, compassionate approach and appreciate the clear, practical way I explain how the mind works. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes, and I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Member organisations
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members. There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
