Lily Horn

Does your mind ever feel like it just won't switch off?

Maybe you replay conversations long after they've happened, worry about things that haven't happened yet, or spend far too much time thinking about what other people might think of you.

You might find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, putting everyone else's needs before your own, or constantly feeling like you should be doing more.

And perhaps, from the outside, everything looks absolutely fine. But on the inside it can feel exhausting.

I'm Lily, a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and founder of The Peace Lily Practice. I help people who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing and low confidence to feel calmer, more confident and more in control of their lives.

Why I became a hypnotherapist

My interest in hypnotherapy comes from personal experience as well as my fascination with how the brain works.

I've experienced anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing and low confidence myself. I know how exhausting it can be to constantly question yourself, worry about what other people think or feel responsible for keeping everyone else happy.

For a long time, I believed these were simply parts of my personality. But through my own experiences, I began to understand that the ways we think, feel and respond aren't necessarily fixed.

That realisation sparked my interest in understanding the brain and how we can create positive changes in our lives.

It's also shaped how I work as a therapist. I want you to feel comfortable, listened to and understood, without judgement or pressure to be anything other than yourself.

How I can help

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines talking therapy with hypnosis and draws on our understanding of how the brain responds to stress and anxiety.

Rather than spending every session revisiting what's gone wrong, we focus on where you are now, where you'd like to be and the small, achievable steps that can help you move forward.

I particularly support people experiencing:

Anxiety, worry and overthinking
People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
Low confidence, self-esteem and self-doubt
Stress and feeling overwhelmed
Social anxiety 
Sleep difficulties and difficulty switching off
I also work with clients experiencing other difficulties, including phobias, unwanted habits and performance-related anxiety.

What are sessions with me actually like?

Sessions are relaxed, conversational and tailored to you.

We'll explore what's been going well, what you'd like to be different and the positive changes you'd like to make.

I'll also help you understand more about how your brain works and why certain thoughts, feelings and behaviours can become familiar patterns.

The final part of our sessions involves hypnosis, which is a state of focused relaxation. You won't lose control and you're always able to choose whether to participate.

You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what to say or even have a clear idea of what needs to change.

We can work that out together.

Taking the first step

If any of this sounds familiar, you're very welcome to book a free 30-minute initial consultation. It's a chance for us to have a relaxed chat about what you'd like support with, ask any questions and see whether working together feels right for you. There's no pressure or obligation to continue.

All sessions take place online via Zoom, so you can access support from wherever you feel most comfortable.

I understand that choosing a therapist can feel like a big step. You're very welcome to get in touch with any questions, whether you're ready to book or are simply exploring your options.

I offer a free initial consultation so that we can get to know each other and discuss how I may be able to support you.

Standard hypnotherapy sessions are £70 for 60 minutes.

Smoking & vaping cessation: £200 for one approximately 2-hour session.

Phobias: Treatment is tailored to the individual and will depend on the nature of the phobia. A specific phobia will typically be addressed over approximately 3 sessions.

My availability varies each week. Please get in touch to arrange a suitable appointment time. All sessions take place via zoom. 

Taking the first step doesn't have to mean committing to therapy.

I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation, giving us the opportunity to talk about what's brought you here, what you'd like to change and how Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy may be able to support you.

It's also a chance for you to ask questions and see whether you feel comfortable working with me. There's absolutely no obligation to continue afterwards.

All sessions currently take place online via Zoom, meaning you can access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

Sessions are generally held weekly to begin with and last approximately 60 minutes.

If you've found yourself reading profiles because you know something needs to change, but you're not quite sure where to start, you're very welcome to get in touch.
