About me
Hello, I’m Stephanie — a practising nurse and Clinical Hypnotherapist working with clients online across the UK and in person in Halstead, Essex. I blend Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with Rapid Change Work to offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore what you want to change and how to move toward it.
Life can feel overwhelming -work pressures, family responsibilities, health worries, the pressure to keep going, and the constant stream of world events. Many people find themselves anxious, low, exhausted or stuck in unhelpful patterns. After 38 years in nursing and occupational health, I know how normal this is, and how powerful it can be to have a space where you feel heard, supported and understood.
My approach brings together Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Rapid Change Work inspired by the Ali Campbell Method. It’s a flexible, intuitive way of working that adapts to you as a person. No generic scripts, no rigid techniques — just a calm, supportive space where we look at what you want to change, what’s already helping you, and how we can move you toward feeling more settled and in control.
I’ve also navigated my own periods of stress and mental health challenges, so I understand what it’s like to lose your footing and gradually find your way back. These experiences quietly inform my work and help me meet clients with genuine empathy and respect.
Sessions with me are relaxed, encouraging and focused on where you want to go next. Many people describe feeling lighter and clearer quite quickly — not because of anything dramatic, but because when your mind feels safe, it naturally begins to settle.
What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, evidence‑based approach that combines forward‑looking psychotherapy with the calming, focused state of hypnosis. Instead of analysing the past, we concentrate on your goals and the practical steps that help you move toward them.
Hypnosis simply helps you access a calmer, more receptive state of mind, making it easier to shift unhelpful patterns and strengthen your natural resilience.
I work with clients nationwide via secure online sessions, supporting people to:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve sleep and relaxation
- Build confidence and motivation
- Strengthen emotional resilience
- Move beyond self‑doubt and limiting beliefs
- I also offer support with smoking or vaping cessation, reducing alcohol, and weight management — including support during GLP‑1 withdrawal.
If you’re ready to make positive changes, I offer a free 60‑minute online or in‑person consultation so we can explore whether this approach feels right for you.
