About us
Hello! My name is Lesley and I am a Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist.
Maybe you have no idea what this means... so allow me to explain a little.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Rather than dwelling on what's gone wrong, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy focuses on moving you forward from whatever issue you're dealing with, towards the future you actually want. It's a wonderfully positive blend of talking therapy and hypnosis, and it works with the way your brain is naturally wired to help you feel better, think more clearly, and cope more easily with everyday life.
Each session combines:
- Neuroscience education - understanding why you feel the way you do (anxious, low, overwhelmed) takes away a lot of the fear and self-blame. Once you understand what's happening in your brain, change starts to feel possible.
- Positive, solution-focused talking - we spend time exploring what's already going well and what you'd like more of, rather than endlessly analysing the problem itself.
- Goal setting - small, achievable steps that build real momentum towards your desired future.
- Hypnosis (trance) - a deeply relaxing part of the session where your brain is more receptive to positive suggestion. It's simply a natural, focused state of relaxation - think daydreaming rather than anything mysterious or "stagey"!
What can I expect from a session?
My aim is simple: you should leave every session feeling more positive than when you arrived. The process is interactive, educational, and genuinely enjoyable - clients are often surprised at just how much they look forward to their sessions.
Where I practise
I currently offer Solution Focused Hypnotherapy face-to-face in the Comber area, and online via Zoom for those who prefer the flexibility of working from home. I also deliver wellbeing programmes to groups, both online and in person.
Who I help
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy has a remarkably broad reach. I've supported clients with anxiety, low mood, anger issues, sleep problems, low self-esteem, stress, and low confidence, to name just a few. The list of what this approach can help with is extensive - if you're dealing with something and you're not sure whether it fits, please just get in touch and we can chat it through. No pressure, just a friendly conversation.
Get in touch - I'd love to hear from you.

I am a member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) and the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH).

info Information about health conditions (*)
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.
