About me
I am a qualified solution focused hypnotherapist specialising in helping adults, young people and children (aged 8+) overcome anxiety and regain a sense of calm, confidence and control.
Anxiety can show up in many ways — persistent worry, overthinking, panic, sleep difficulties, low confidence or a constant feeling of being on edge. My role is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can begin to understand your anxiety and move forward at your own pace.
I work using a solution-focused approach, which means we focus on what you want to achieve rather than spending time reliving the past. Sessions are practical, positive and tailored to you, helping you build resilience, develop coping strategies and create lasting change.
Alongside my work with adults, I also support young people through Mind Health: Young Minds, a specialist approach designed for children and young people aged 8 and above who are experiencing anxiety. These sessions are gentle, age-appropriate and empowering, helping young clients build emotional confidence, feel calmer, and better manage worries at school, home and in social situations. Parents are supported throughout the process, ensuring a collaborative and reassuring experience.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself or for your child, I aim to make therapy feel approachable, respectful and effective. Many clients tell me they feel listened to, understood and more hopeful after our work together.
If anxiety is affecting your quality of life, you don’t have to manage it alone. I would be happy to talk with you about how hypnotherapy could help.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
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.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for Young People in Sheffield
Helping young people manage anxiety, build confidence, and rediscover calm.
The Pressures Facing Young People Today
Life for young people today can be overwhelming. Between school or university pressures, friendships, exams, social media, and the challenges of growing up, it’s easy for anxiety, stress, or low confidence to take hold.
At Mind Health, I offer Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in Sheffield — a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps children and teenagers focus on their strengths, reduce anxiety, and build emotional resilience.
What Is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) combines modern talking therapy with deep relaxation techniques. Instead of analysing problems or the past, we focus on what’s going well and how to create more of it.
Using practical solution-focused methods and safe, positive hypnosis, young people learn to:
● Feel calmer and more in control
● Improve confidence and self-belief
● Manage stress and sleep better
● Build motivation and focus
The sessions are structured, enjoyable and empowering — giving young people practical tools to handle challenges more confidently.
What the NSPCC Says About Solution-Focused Approaches
The NSPCC recognises the value of solution-focused practice when supporting children and young people.
In its Solution-Focused Practice Toolkit, designed for ages 5–19, the NSPCC describes how this approach helps young people “move towards the future they want by using their existing skills, strategies and ideas — rather than focusing on the problem.”
(NSPCC Learning, 2015)
Their Seeking Solutions programme also uses solution-focused principles to help young people aged 7–18 set goals, make plans, and take positive steps towards change.
(NSPCC Seeking Solutions leaflet)
These resources show that focusing on strengths and future goals can make a powerful difference to a young person’s emotional wellbeing — values shared by Mind Health Hypnotherapy
How Hypnotherapy Supports Young People
Hypnotherapy isn’t about control or “trance” — it’s a natural, calm state of focus, much like daydreaming. In this relaxed mindset, young people can process information more clearly, visualise positive outcomes, and strengthen their sense of control.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps with:
● Anxiety and stress — calming the mind and body
● Low confidence or self-esteem — building inner belief
● Sleep problems — developing a calmer, more restful mindset
● Exam or performance anxiety — improving focus and balance
For many, progress is noticeable within a few sessions, helping young people move from worry and self-doubt to calm, clarity, and confidence.
Safe, Supportive Therapy for Children and Teens
At Mind Health, sessions are tailored to the young person’s age and comfort level. Safeguarding and confidentiality are always prioritised, and parents or carers are welcome to be involved where appropriate.
As a qualified, insured and DBS-checked Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I ensure therapy remains a positive and empowering experience for every client.
