About me
Hi, I'm Carol, a fully qualified Clinical Practitioner of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy and, I have a question for you:
"Have you ever wondered what life could be like if you were free from the debilitating effects of anxiety, depression, stress or even low mood?"
I specialise in helping young people and adults to achieve this. By working together, I can help you create a preferred, positive future in the way that you imagine it to be moving forward. SFHT will also leave you with the knowledge and tools to continue living your best life, long after therapy comes to an end.
How Hypnotherapy can help you:
If you want to break free from the debilitating restraints of anxiety, depression, stress and/or low mood in as little as 8 to 12 therapy sessions - Please read on:
Hypnotherapy is a gentle talking therapy that combines the use of language patterns and trance hypnosis (deep relaxation), and has been developed based on neuro-scientifically proven evidence that could soon see you living your best life, in the way that you see it!
Although we have one brain, it holds two minds - the intellectual mind and the primitive mind. The primitive, or negative, mind controls 90% - 95% of our thought patterns, so it's hardly surprising we are so susceptible to mental illness. SFHT can, however, change this, by altering our negative thought patterns and replacing them with positive thought patterns, which over a period of time can alter the neural pathways in the brain and see you living that preferred, positive life you imagine.
What to expect in your first session:
Your first session is an Initial Consultation, and it's free.
This is where I will collect information from you, so I can tailor the therapy to your specific needs. We will also take a closer look at the brain, helping you to understand what is happening within your brain, and the roles played by the Intellectual mind and the Primitive mind. I will explain how we can begin to make the changes you are looking to make, in the way that you want to make them. Why we don't dwell on the reasons that led you to seek therapy in the first place, but rather, why we focus on the solution and building a positive, preferred, healthy and fulfilling future in the way that you imagine it moving forward.

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.

When I'm not helping clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband and friends, walking our dog, Molly and photography. Time spent outdoors (when it's not raining) helps me stay grounded and keep in touch with life outside of the therapy room... Although, I do migrate back when I get chance, as I love to research new information on the brain!
