Find Your Inner Freedom from What Is Holding You Back
Hypnotherapy to help you feel calm, clear, and empowered
When life feels overwhelming, stuck, or out of balance, it can be hard to know where to start. My work is guided by my core values of transformation, support, and empathy, and I offer a grounded, encouraging, and safe space where you can pause, reflect, and begin to move forward in a way that feels right for you.
I am passionate about supporting people to explore what’s holding them back and to reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and inner strength, so they can feel more empowered in their everyday lives.
With over 20 years’ experience in HR, mostly in senior roles, I’ve seen first-hand how stress, anxiety, and overwhelm can build up, and I’ve experienced it personally. This insight shapes the compassionate and practical approach I bring to hypnotherapy, helping you explore what matters most to you and work towards changes in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering.
How Hypnotherapy Can Support You
Using Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, I combine talking therapy with deep guided relaxation to help you work towards the changes you want. Hypnotherapy can support your wellbeing and personal growth, but it is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment. I can support you with:
- Anxiety
- Stress and overwhelm
- Low confidence and self-esteem
- Low mood and depression
- Poor sleep and insomnia
- Menopause and perimenopause symptoms
- Pain management and chronic conditions
- Fears, phobias, and unhelpful habits
- Negative thinking patterns and mindset shifts
This approach is informed by modern neuroscience and incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Together, we focus on your strengths, aspirations, and practical steps to feel more in control, confident, and inspired in your daily life.
How Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy Works
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to you. Together we explore what matters most to you, identify what may be holding you back, and use hypnosis to access a deeply relaxed, focused state. This helps you practise new, helpful ways of thinking and behaving.
Face-to-Face or Online Hypnotherapy in Nottingham
I offer face-to-face hypnotherapy in Cotgrave, Nottingham, as well as online sessions via Zoom, so you can access support wherever you are in the UK. Whether you prefer in-person sessions or the flexibility of online therapy, I can help you take steps towards feeling calmer, clearer, and more empowered.
Your First Step
Sometimes the hardest step is the first, reaching out for support. I take a grounded, encouraging, and empathetic approach, creating a safe space where you can explore what matters most to you. I offer a free 45-minute consultation to discuss your needs, explain how hypnotherapy works, and explore how we might work together. You can contact me at katie@katiedeacon.co.uk or visit www.katiedeacon.co.uk to book.
Life Outside Work
Outside of work, I’m a proud mum to two pampered pooches, Bertie and Betsy. You’ll often find us exploring the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside, ideally with a cuppa and cake break along the way!
