About me
Hello, I’m Julie - a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Social Worker.
I help adults and young people feel calmer, more confident and back in control, without having to relive the past. My work is gentle, practical and focused on helping you move forward.
I can help with:
Anxiety and stress
OCD and compulsive behaviours
Confidence and performance
Phobias
Low mood/depression
Habits and addictions (including smoking/vaping and other compulsive behaviours)
IBS (gut-led hypnotherapy)
- I also support women with perimenopause and menopause related anxiety/low mood and other symptoms.
I offer a free discovery call so you can ask questions, tell me what’s been going on, and we can decide together if I’m the right fit.
Sessions are available in person or online, with flexible appointment times.
If you don’t see what you’re looking for listed, feel free to message me - I’m happy to talk it through.
Typically people will need between 4 and 12 sessions, it really depends on the complexity of the issue.
Read this Google review of a client I helped with depression and negative thinking:
The sessions are really relaxing, and it's fascinating how your brain is doing all this work without you even realising — it's very clever. Julie has been friendly, supportive, and completely non-judgmental throughout. She has a very calming voice and presence, which works perfectly for hypnotherapy. She's patiently helped me feel more positive, which is something I really struggle with. One thing I've found particularly helpful is being asked each week "what has been good" since our last session. It's really made me stop and think about what's important to me, and helped me realise that positive connections with people are what truly boost me. All of my sessions have been online rather than in person, and they've worked really well. Julie also sent me an audio to listen to at bedtime, which has completely transformed my sleep — that alone has made the experience incredibly worthwhile. I had 12 sessions with Julie and looking back from the start to now, I have, without talking about my feelings, changed my mindset to be more positive and to not allow negative thoughts to take hold. My depression feels like it's lifted its weight off me. It's not gone but is sitting beside me. I feel that it in time it won't be sitting so close and will move further away. I cried in happiness at this feeling. Forget face masks and bubble baths — this is what real self-care looks like. Thank you for all your support Julie
I hope to speak to you soon.
