About me
Hi, I'm Jenny Mellenchip and I'm a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist. I am also a Hypnotherapy Supervisor and Senior Lecturer for CPHT Leeds Hypnotherapy Training.
I use Hypnotherapy to help clients overcome a number of anxiety related issues(full list below). I work with both adults and children from the age of 8 years old. I love to help people get back on track with their lives.
I work online via Zoom and from my therapy room in Stafford, Staffordshire where free parking is available at both clinics.
I use Solution Focused techniques that are backed by the latest neuroscience and brain research, along with hypnosis to bring about fast, long lasting results. I offer a 50 minute initial consultation at half the price of a normal session to allow you to make up your own mind about whether I am the right therapist for you.
During this initial consultation, I will take a brief health history to help us to create a personalised treatment plan. I will then explain how the brain works in simple, straightforward terms. Many clients find this extremely reassuring as they can quickly start to see how to get back in control of their lives. You will also be able to ask any questions that you need to and will leave with a CD/Download.
During our therapeutic relationship, you control the number and frequency of sessions. However, with the exception of the stop-smoking session, I do recommend that we begin by seeing each other weekly before spreading out the appointments to suit you.
The intensive stop smoking session is just one double session of around 120 minutes duration and no initial consultation is required for this session.
I am also a qualified hypnotherapy supervisor approved by the NCH so if you're a hypnotherapist looking for supervision, I would love to hear from you.

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.
