About me

I'm Nicole, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and the founder of NC Hypnotherapy. My practice is based in Hatfield Peverel in Chelmsford, Essex, and I also work  online with clients worldwide, so support is available wherever you are based.

I specialise in helping people who struggle with anxiety, overwhelm or feeling stuck in survival mode.  Many of the people I work with appear 'fine' on the outside but, inside, feel exhausted, overthinking everything and struggling to switch off. My role is to help you feel calmer, more confident and in control again. 

About Me

I understand how difficult it can feel to reach out for support.  After spending over ten years working as a teacher, I reached a point where I felt completely overwhelmed and burnt out. I decided to seek help from a Hypnotherapist myself, and after just a few sessions, I felt like me again.

Alongside my background in teaching and a degree in Psychology, that experience gave me a deeper understanding of how the mind responds to stress and overwhelm. I realised I wanted to use my skills to help people in a different way, which led me to retrain as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

What I love about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is that it's grounded in current neuroscience research and focuses on creating positive change in a practical, forward-looking way.

Rather than analysing the past or dwelling on problems, sessions are centred on where you want to be and how you want to feel.

Our work together is person-centred and forward-focused, helping you move towards your preferred future in a realistic and supportive way. Hypnosis is used as a gentle but effective tool to help calm the nervous system and reinforce positive change.

Many clients notice improvements in a relatively short period of time and leave sessions feeling more relaxed, clear-headed and motivated.

What You Can Expect:

  • A calm, supportive and non-judgemental space
  • Clear explanations in everyday language
  • Sessions that feel structured but relaxed
  • No pressure to relive past experiences
  • A focus on progress, not perfection
