About me
Hi there! I'm Jen, here to help you reduce your anxiety, stress, and feelings of low mood, improve your sleep, reduce feelings of overwhelm and regain control over your life. As a Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, I use gentle techniques to help you feel better and to help you live your best life. Together, we will work towards achieving your goal of peace of mind and body and get you feeling like you again!
Our sessions will be relaxed and positive, focusing on the future rather than dwelling on the past or problems. I'll gently encourage you to move forward, addressing negative behaviours and creating new, positive patterns and habits. Doing so will boost your confidence and self-esteem and reduce stress and anxiety.
My solution-focused approach empowers you to take control and make healthier decisions in your life. Rather than getting stuck on the problems, we'll focus on finding solutions that work for you.
Located in a quiet, semi-rural area in Aughton, Ormskirk, my clinic offers a private and relaxing environment. You can feel calm and comfortable as we work together to make the changes you want.
With a background in Midwifery and Sexual Health, I specialize in Women's Health, addressing anxiety and depression related to fertility issues, pregnancy, postnatal and birth trauma, PMS/PMDD, PCOS, endometriosis, menopause, and more. I understand the unique pressures that women face in life.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can also help with disorders triggered or worsened by anxiety and stress, among other issues. Hypnotherapy can help improve your physical and mental well-being if anxiety exacerbates your symptoms.
The past few years have brought about heightened health anxiety and surfaced phobias that were previously manageable. Using gentle techniques, I can help reduce these issues' impact on your life, allowing you to break free from their hold.
Each session lasts no more than an hour, and typically, phobias are treated in four sessions. However, our initial meeting will determine the number of sessions needed, ensuring you the most successful treatment possible.
