About me
Have you tried other therapies but nothing has quite worked?
Or you are feeling stuck with a problem and don’t know where to start?
You suspect you could feel much better than you do, but don’t know how to get there.
I’m Lauren, a clinical hypnotherapist working in person in Solihull, West Midlands and online wherever you may be! I am also a trained mental health nurse with over 14 years experience of working in mental health services and I use a unique combination of Solution Focused Therapy, hypnosis and simple neuroscience to help you understand your mind.
Whether you’re here to overcome anxiety, emotional eating patterns or phobias, to help mange pain, symptoms of chronic illness or low mood or just to generally feel a bit better, this positive and powerful therapy can help you without spending our sessions going over the problem or revisiting trauma.
Instead we cover some simple neuroscience that helps you understand your brain better right from the initial consultation. We explore what’s going well, what you want more of and what your unique goals for therapy are, and help you move towards this, with easy to use tools and small steps.
In the second half of our sessions, we will use hypnosis, a natural state of focussed attention, that helps you to focus on what you want, allows you to be more open to positive suggestion and able tune out what isn’t helpful or relevant. It’s important to note, hypnosis helps you regain control over your own mind, not lose it. I cant make you do anything you don’t want to do, I just teach you how to get the very best out of yourself, through learning simple skills, applying neuroscience and practicing hypnosis.
You will be given an audio to listen to between sessions and to keep to use in the future which is a fantastic tool for ongoing support. I love working with clients, but my aim is to prepare you for a life without therapy, not to be seeing you every week for years on end. Life exists outside of the therapy room, and I want to make sure you have the tools to face whatever comes your way.
Many clients tell me they quickly start to notice improvement, feel lighter, are sleeping better and notice they start responding to situations, rather than reacting.
