About me
Hi I'm Lucy, a Solution Focused Trauma Informed Hypnotherapist. I offer a kind, non-judgmental approach, taking the time to fully engage with, and understand those whom I work with, in order to offer the best support possible. I am passionate about what I do and have worked in therapeutic settings for over 8 years, working with adults and extensively with children and young people.
Children and Young People
I have over 16 years experience working with children and young people. In addition to working as a Children's Hypnotherapist I have also worked in specialised roles with Neurodiverse children, and children with special needs and additional/social/emotional needs. I support children and young people in a nurturing and understanding way, taking the time to understand them and their individual needs, and allowing them to discover new ways of looking at life. My sessions are very adapted to an individuals needs.
Following hypnotherapy sessions most parents report that their children feel more relaxed, and are happier, more positive and more confident. To speak to me about your child's specific needs please call me or send an email.
I can help children and young people with:
- ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
- Anxiety
- ASD (Autism)
- Anger and Emotional Dysregulation
- Confidence Issues
- Exam Stress
- Fears and phobias
- Friendship Issues
- Obsessive Compulsive Behaviours (OCB's)

Hypnotherapy for Adults
If you are currently feeling held back by your anxiety or emotions, limited by your problems and beliefs about yourself I can help you to navigate through challenges in your life. Using a variety of tools, I can support you in creating a future where you feel more in control of your life, free from the focus of problems, and limiting beliefs from your past.
Using a Solution Focused approach, hypnotherapy can support you in processing emotions and reprograming responses from past trauma, clearing anxious/depressive states, and rewiring emotional triggers, limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns. I can help with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
- Chronic Pain
- Fears and Phobias
- Grief
- Disordered Eating
- Sleep Issues and Insomnia
- Bruxism
- Confidence
- Neurodiversity
- Motivation and more.
I am also a trained Yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, with elements of Eastern philosophy being at the core of my hypnotherapy sessions: supporting you in aligning mind, body and soul, to uncover and live in accordance with your highest potential.
Additionally, before my therapeutic work I trained as a musical theatre performer, and enjoy extending my experience and knowledge to clients I work with now who wish to focus on performance based anixiety, public speaking/singing and confident expression.

Testimonials
"I contacted Lucy when my 11 year old daughter was experiencing high anxiety, causing her to focus on worrying cleanliness/ germaphobic OCD traits.
As a parent I was all out of ideas, articles to read and conversations of how to help her move forward, which is when I contacted Lucy. Immediately my daughter felt at ease with Lucy, and throughout their sessions they worked on really practical thoughts and methods that my daughter could use to help her through her worries/ habits and what to do with them. The mix of talk and trance sessions worked really well, with the relaxations also provided for my daughter (and me!) to do at home. We saw lots of improvements within weeks and definitely wouldn't be where we are now without Lucy's guidance and skills.
I definitely recommend Lucy without hesitation. Her experience and knowledge with helping young people was highly evident by the bond she built with by daughter and the individual care she showed her."
-Camilla, parent of a young person.
"I started hypnotherapy with Lucy to help with my low mood, self esteem and general anxiety & depression. As a 44 year old neuro divergent man who has struggled all my life with mental health issues it was life changing to be able to understand myself and to have this new vocabulary, an understanding of how my brain works, new tools to help me understand how to work best and to navigate my life more smoothly and successfully. Absolutely recommend - thanks Lucy."
-Lee.
