About me
Hello, welcome to Seeds of Becoming. I'm Helen, and I'm glad you're here.
I provide a warm, supportive and confidential space where you can feel comfortable exploring the changes you'd like to make. Hypnotherapy can offer a gentle way of working with thoughts, feelings, habits and responses that may feel difficult to change on your own. Whether you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stressed or simply not yourself, you don't have to face things alone.
I offer professional hypnotherapy and counselling in Mansfield and online, supporting adults with anxiety, stress, low mood, low self-esteem, confidence, fears, phobias, sleep difficulties, unwanted habits, smoking cessation, weight management, exam preparation, driving test nerves, interview confidence, grief, loss and emotional wellbeing.
My approach is individual to you. I understand that there isn't one way of working that suits everyone, so I take time to listen, understand what you would like to change and work with you in a way that feels comfortable and appropriate.
Hypnotherapy is not about losing control. You remain aware and in control throughout. It uses a relaxed, focused state to help you work with thoughts, beliefs, feelings and patterns of behaviour, supporting the changes that you would like to make.
Reaching out can sometimes feel like the hardest part. You're welcome to contact me for an introductory conversation where we can talk about what you're experiencing, what you're hoping to achieve and whether I feel like the right therapist for you.

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.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
I also support adults experiencing burnout, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, grief and loss, low confidence, relationship difficulties, life transitions and the lasting effects of trauma.
Hypnotherapy encourages deep relaxation, helping to calm an overactive nervous system, reduce stress and anxiety, and support emotional wellbeing. This relaxed state can help you reconnect with your inner strengths and develop healthier ways of coping with lifestyle challengers.
Many people come to therapy feeling exhausted, overwhelmed by emotional pain. Through counselling and hypnotherapy, many people experience reduced anxiety, improved emotional wellbeing and greater confidence, helping them move towards a calmer and more fulfilling life.
I have supported clients experiencing the physical effects of stress and anxiety, including muscle tension, jaw clenching, shallow breathing, emotional overwhelm and persistent back or neck tension. Hypnotherapy and counselling can help reduce stress, promote deep relaxation and support healthier coping strategies.
I have also helped clients prepare for driving tests, examinations, interviews and other situations where anxiety or lack of confidence has affected their performance.

Additional information
I believe therapy should be accessible as possible. I offer reduced rates for students and older adults (£40 a session). A block booking of six sessions is available for £250, with a reduced student block of six sessions for £200. If you have any questions about fees, please feel free to get in touch.
I also offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation. This gives us the opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and discuss whether I`m the right therapist for you before booking your first session.
Further information
Seeds of Becoming is based at Oak House, Ransom Wood Business Park in Mansfield, surrounded by beautiful woodland. The peaceful setting provides a calm, welcoming environment where you can take time away from the pressures of everyday life and focus on your wellbeing.
Sessions take place in a comfortable private therapy room where you can relax in safe, confidential and non-judgemental space. I also offer online or telephone sessions, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort of your own home, if that is more convenient.
In addition to face-to-face and online counselling, I also offer walk-and-talk counselling for clients who feel more comfortable talking while walking in a peaceful outdoor setting.
