Rosie Maguire

Hello there, and thanks for taking the time to look at my profile!

I'm a calm, friendly and experienced practitioner in Downpatrick County Down, Northern Ireland working successfully and in an enjoyable, relaxed way with people just like you. A member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), I am passionate about working with people in a research-based and effective way to help them find the road back to well-being and happiness, however that looks to them. 

What's Solution Focused Hypnotherapy anyway?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is an up-to-date, progressive, research-based and effective way of helping people to feel better about themselves and their lives. A great mix of talk therapy and hypnosis, it helps people access and identify their own solutions, creating lasting change in a relatively short period of time. We reckon most people see solid progress in 8- 12 sessions, although of course everyone is different and results do depend on the level of commitment to the process by our clients. 

Why is it called ' solution focused?'

It's more and more evident that bringing up past trauma and investigating the reasons for our current negative states of mind can be unhelpful, and at times even re-traumatising, and so SFH never asks you to analyse your past. We acknowledge that it's there, that everyone has one, but also recognise that there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to change it, so we start where you are - today, in the present- and help to move you out of 'stuckness' by moving your focus away from the problems that are getting you down, and towards constructive and achievable solutions, step by step.

What techniques do I use?

Using the most powerful CBT, NLP and psychotherapeutic techniques, as well as gentle but powerful hypnotherapy, I can help you decide for yourself, in an enjoyable, positive and effective way, what your next steps will be towards your ideal future. A firm believer that everyone has all the skills and resources they need, deep inside, and backed by up-to-the minute neuroscience, I can help you open your mind to creative and surprising solutions, and support you as you Find Your Smile, motivation and purpose in life, once more.

I can help you to... 

• Improve and regulate sleep patterns - so that you function better during your day at work, with the family and for yourself, with energy left at the end of the day for fun!
• Increase your energy and motivation - so that you feel calmer, more settled, and stop chasing the clock with that sick feeling of panic in your belly
• Move forwards out of procrastination - so that those scary things get done, and you move forwards, feeling all the wonderful sensations and emotions that come with being free again
• Make Big Decisions - so that you stop going around and around on the hamster wheel of 'what if's', and find you can feel calm and settled enough to  make the decision that's right for you, with confidence
• Feel better in body and mind - releasing you from that feeling of PUSHING THROUGH, lessening the sensations of exhaustion and overwhelm that keep you on the move, so that you can finally RELAX and REST
• Improve self-esteem and self- confidence- help you develop that inside voice that tells you you're OK, you're enough and that you can do it - whatever it is you need to do. Helping you to quieten the OTHER voice ... the one that puts you down.
• Get rid of phobias (of all kinds!) - opening the cage door to the rest of life without fear - just think of the things you could do!
• Stop unhealthy habits (smoking/vaping/compulsive eating) - helping you understand that these are automatic responses, and teaching you how to relearn healthy responses instead. 
• Calm that monkey-mind - you know what I'm talking about - the one that is never quiet, jittery and jumpy, so that your short-term memory malfunctions and you cant even concentrate. A calm and settled mind is the only thinking mind, and I can help you achieve this. 
• Get to sleep and stay asleep. Wake with a smile, and energy for the day ahead. 
• Feel more joy, think more positively... yes, this is possible!

Why I work this way:

With many years of experience in supporting local families and young people with a wide range of techniques and pathways, I have found Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy to be the single most effective method of assisting people to find their path in life, and supporting them towards achievement of their goals and aspirations. It's wonderful to see the change in people, the way their face lights up when they suddenly see the way forward and they find themselves full of energy and motivation once more. We all lose our way in life sometimes, and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a brief and highly effective way of finding your way back on track - we can see results in people who are engaged and committed to the process in as little as 8 weeks, although of course, everyone's different! 

Who do I work with? 

Everyone! This model of therapy suits everyone, because it is client-led. My clients to date have been as young as 8 years old and my eldest client is 91. For some people, traditional therapy and hypnotherapy are challenging or unhelpful, but Solution Focused Therapy really does fit everyone. I do specialise in working with people experiencing anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance as the results in these areas are consistently dynamic and life-changing,  but I also really enjoy supporting neurodiverse individuals and also children experiencing anxiety, as the techniques in SFH seem especially effective here too. 

Where do I work?

Working both face-to-face in the Downpatrick area and online throughout Northern Ireland and around the world, I am flexible, relaxed and knowledgeable, and offer daytime and evening slots, as well as weekends for those hard at work during the week.

What do I offer? 

I offer a free Discovery Call, where you can ask all the many questions people have about this exciting and progressive therapy model. This is followed by an Initial Consultation of about an hour where we get to know one another and the process.  You'll receive a personalised recording at this meeting which will strongly support the work we do together, and which is yours for life. Then, weekly sessions of Solution Focused Therapy are recommended, where I use the very best elements of CBT, NLP, talk-therapy and hypnotherapy to support you towards your goals, and you will begin to feel the effects from the very first session! The client decides when they have reached their goal, but generally between 8 and 12 sessions are enough to yield sustainable and measurable results.

Believing we all get a little stuck from time to time, I am friendly and approachable, and very much enjoy the free discovery call I offer, when I find out how I can help people, and answer the many questions they always have.

What else do I do? Just in case you're wondering...

As well as my work in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy I am a qualified and experienced Hypnobirthing coach and Doula (https://www.rosiebirth.co.uk) providing information, coaching and birth support for home births in the Down area. I'm currently completing Advanced Training in Somatic Experiencing for Trauma with Somatic Experiencing Ireland and I'm a member of their association, Tairseach (https://www.tairseach.ie/ ) I can provide Somatic Experiencing sessions at student rates, so do contact me for more details!

Hypnobirthing and Doula work are closely combined and I am a qualified Doula with Nurturing Birth, supporting home births in the County Down area. 

Walking Therapy simply takes my Solution-Focused techniques out into Nature, where folks can often feel more at ease and relaxed, enabling them to really explore the possibilities and collaborate effectively. Research has shown that walking and being out in the natural world both strongly promote creativity and problem-solving, as well as promoting feelings of wellbeing and connection. 

Discovery phone/Zoom call- Free of Charge

You can see what's available, book a free phone call and find out more about my services at www.rosies-space.co.uk or just call me for a chat!

I supply a personalised Hypnotherapy Recording with the first session as part of the package, which is yours for life and strongly supports the work we do together, while helping to regulate and improve sleep patterns.

It's also good to note that Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a brief therapy, which means that, while everyone will experience the therapy differently, when the client is fully engaged and committed to the process results can be obtained in a relatively short period of time, often 6-12 weeks.
