About me

Hello and welcome to my page.
My name is Gabrielle and I am an award-winning Traditional Hypnotherapist (Dip Hyp CS) accredited with the National Hypnotherapy Society with a BSc Hons Degree in Psychology.
Hypnotherapy is a combination of Psychological therapy and Art Therapy. Due to its creative script writing, scripts are crafted with passion. My approach uses enjoyable, relaxing, peaceful visualizations, that I write just for you.  
Traditional hypnotherapists can never be replaced by any app or generic recording. This is because the subconscious is alerted and activated by the relatable, personal, specific, small details. Your subconscious has unique individual differences and these details make personal hypnotherapy more effective and less expensive.
You will only need between one to six sessions with me. There is no monthly subscription and you will get to keep your sessions audio recordings, not that you will need them.
Your mind is your greatest investment. Investing in yourself for change is highest form safe-care, it could be the most impactful investment you make. 
I understand how daunting starting any type of therapy can be, clients have an instinctive feeling of whether the therapist is right for them or not, which is why I offer a free discovery call. Being able to talk openly and trust your therapist is essential. I am down to earth and open minded, I can hold space for you to express your thoughts and feelings.
The scientific research into Hypnotherapy specifically, how it works in the brain and the history of Hypnosis is noteworthy. I have provided lots more information on my website under the Hypnotherapy tab.
Please contact me if you have any questions and I will be happy to help. To see the results Hypnotherapy has had on my clients brings me so much joy. To continue to be the best I can be, I attend regular supervision and CPD training. 
If finances are a barrier, please get in touch to discuss options, as I want to offer an inclusive service, I will see what I can do to help. I can offer a payment plan.  The investment exchange is £65 per hour. 
I offer a 20% discount for Blue Light Card Holders and those in receipt of benefits. 
Challenges I support:
  • Stress reduction and management, including work pressure and burnout
  • Anxiety and low mood
  • Confidence, self-esteem and public speaking
  • Smoking and vaping cessation 
  • Weight loss and management 
  • Fears and phobias (Fear of flying, fear of spiders, driving, exams and so forth)
  • Habits, including doom scrolling
  • Sports motivation / athletic performance 
  • Motivation, productivity and goal setting
  • Grief, bereavement and loss
  • Mindfulness and Meditation

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Hypnotherapist's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Hypnotherapist to discuss the options available.
