About me

Hi, I’m Amy

Thanks for having a look at my profile.

I expect you are reading this as there is something you would like to change in your life. It’s likely that hypnotherapy can help.

My Story

I have been practicing Solution Focused Hypnotherapy since 2016 and prior to this, I worked as a social worker supporting people through difficult times in their lives.   My interest in hypnotherapy was first triggered during completion of my psychology degree more than 20 years ago. As part of the neuroscience module, I examined hypnotherapy and its positive effects on the brain. I was fascinated at how this deep state of relaxation could physically alter the brain, so it functions differently, allowing us to feel calmer and more in control.   I saw first-hand evidence of how this meditative state works when travelling through Asia in my 20’s, observing the Buddhist culture.

I always wondered how I could bring this beneficial state of calm to the people I work with, and I found the answer in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. The thing I love the most about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is that it teaches you to manage your own thoughts and feelings and provides you with evidence-based techniques that you can continue to use long after completing hypnotherapy with me.  My experience allows me to draw on a wealth of resources and previous client experience to ensure the right approach for you.

My Practice

I have experienced some difficult times in my life. I know how it feels to be anxious all the time, overwhelmed by life and what it throws at you. I see many people in my practice experiencing similar problems. My clients tell me they lack confidence and struggle to find time for themselves. They also find it difficult in social situations, never feeling good enough. Clients tell me how they find it difficult to reach their full potential in work or in sports activities. I often hear how they just want to feel happier, more confident, and more in control.  

After hypnotherapy, here are some of the things my clients have said:

Hypnotherapy has shifted my mind set from being trapped in a negative spiral; to thinking more rationally and calmly.  By positively altering my perspective, Hypnotherapy has enabled me to feel more confident and break free from negative, self-destructive bad habits. I would highly recommend giving Hypnotherapy a go and Amy is fantastic at what she does and also very approachable.                                EE

I have always experienced lack of confidence and low self-esteem and it was effecting my overall happiness and holding me back in my career. Through hypnotherapy, Amy has helped me improve my confidence and happiness levels greatly.  Hypnotherapy has also enabled me to have faith and confidence in my ability to practice my chosen profession.  In addition to this, I was also struggling to sleep and my sleep pattern was very bad. Since having hypnotherapy with Amy my sleep has much improved which has helped me to cope much better on a daily basis.

I can highly recommend hypnotherapy with Amy to others and I regularly do. I cannot overstate how beneficial hypnotherapy has been for me.                                        JE

For me, the best evidence of the success my clients achieve is that most of my new clients come from recommendations from people I have seen previously.

I am continuing to learn all the time, through my work with clients but also by attending regular continued professional development sessions and supervision with other therapists.

I have recently contributed to a book, The Art of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, writing a case study around suicide prevention. It was my lifelong experience of working with people in crisis that allowed me to write about this.

Since training as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I have completed a level 3 course in counselling which I also bring to my practice. However, the thing that I love most is hypnotherapy. That is because I see it working every day, changing the lives of the people I work with for the better.

I am currently offering a half price initial consultation and a free relaxation download/CD.

If you would like to find out if hypnotherapy can change your life, get in touch now for an informal chat or email me to arrange an initial consultation.


Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist. I have the Hypnotherapy Practitioners Diploma (HPD) and the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) having completed the gold standard training delivered through the Clifton Practice.

The diploma is accredited by the NCFE and qualification results in registration with the Association of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), The National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), and the National Board of Modern Psychotherapists (NBfMP) which are regulated by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

To maintain my professional registration I have regular supervision with a qualified hypnotherapy supervisor and I regularly attend continued professional development to enable me to keep my practice up to date and relevant.

In addition to my hypnotherapy diploma I have a BSc Honours degree in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Social Work. I have been working with people offering assessment and therapeutic advice and intervention for 20 years.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with

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.
