About me
Hello, I'm Debra... I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, and I help people to make positive changes in their lives - specialising in anxiety, stress and overwhelm.
I'm also a busy working Mum to two teenagers, so I absolutely know that life can get tricky at times!
Sometimes it can be easy to find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck or fearful about something going on in your life. From my own past experiences, when things build up it can feel all too much to cope with and difficult to establish which way to go to make things better - whatever the issue.
I'll work with you to reduce stress; enabling you to gain a clearer view and perspective on things so you can find your path again and get back on track. I'll work together with you on small achievable goals, focusing on your best hopes moving forwards (without the need to dwell on the past), so you are coping better, and feeling happier and calmer.
I offer a FREE (no obligation) initial consultation to explore your needs; please do get in touch for a chat to find out more.

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.

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.
