About me
Hello, I'm Jen, a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist working with clients across the UK online, and in person in Cheltenham.
Before training in this field, I spent over 25 years in corporate marketing, helping brands find their voice, while also raising a family through all the usual ups and downs. That mix left me endlessly curious about what makes people tick, and how the smallest shift in thinking can open up something much bigger, in the middle of an ordinary week, not just at the big turning points.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a practical, forward-looking approach. Rather than dwelling on what's gone wrong, it works with how your brain naturally solves problems, calming an overactive stress response and building the confidence to move towards the life you want. I also draw on techniques from CBT and NLP where they add something useful.
I work with clients on anxiety and stress, sleep difficulties, low confidence, phobias, and performance mindset - helpful if you're facing pressure in sport, work, or public speaking. I also offer a dedicated single session for people who want to stop smoking or vaping.
Every session is calm, collaborative, and shaped around you. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy tends to bring change more quickly than some other talking therapies, though the pace is different for everyone and depends on what you're working through, which is something we'll always talk about together as we go.
If you'd like to find out more or ask a question before booking, I'd love to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT) in Bristol, one of the country's leading hypnotherapy schools, where I gained my Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH). I also hold the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma from the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), and I continue to work under regular clinical supervision, as part of my ongoing commitment to safe, ethical practice.
I'm also enhanced DBS checked, giving you reassurance that all the necessary safeguarding checks are in place. I work with adults, and by preference, young people aged 8 and above.
