Welcome to Terrie Ellis Hypnotherapy

If you feel like you aren't coping, you aren't as happy or you're not the version of yourself you could be, then why not claim the free chat for more information on how hypnotherapy could help you. 

Hi, I’m Terrie, a qualified Hypnotherapist based in Burton-on-Trent, supporting the surrounding Staffordshire and Derbyshire areas and working online with clients across the UK/worldwide. I specialise in anxiety conditions, weight loss and sleep issues. 

Before training in hypnotherapy, I spent many years working as a neonatal nurse and midwife within the NHS, supporting families through some of life’s most delicate and emotional moments. I also know first-hand what it’s like to work in high-pressure sales and marketing roles, where stress and self-doubt can quietly build over time. 

These experiences have shaped the compassionate, down-to-earth approach I bring to my work today, helping people find calm, confidence, and clarity when life feels overwhelming.

Whether you’re feeling caught in cycles of worry, navigating a major life transition, or simply longing to feel calmer and more in control, I’m here to help you find your way forward.

Taking the first step towards change can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we can explore what’s been holding you back and start building the confidence, clarity, and resilience you need to move ahead. Whether it'a anxiety, fear of flying, weight loss or a specific phobia, get in touch for a free no obligation chat

I offer a 40-minute Discovery Session, please call or message me for a booking

How Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy works

My approach combines Clinical Hypnotherapy with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Mindfulness and IEMT.

This blend creates a calm, empowering, and non-judgemental space where we focus on what’s working well, build on your strengths, and set meaningful goals. During the talking part of the session we will concentrate on how you want to be, not how you are, followed by hypnosis. Rather than dwelling on the problem, we keep the focus on solutions, progress, and possibilities, helping you move towards feeling calmer, more resilient, and more in control of your life
Hypnosis can help you access a relaxed, focused state where you may begin to develop more helpful patterns of thought and behaviour. There is nothing stage like about this, it’s a very similar stated to when you become less aware of your thoughts when running, or driving home from work.

Discovery session

I offer a 40-minute, no-obligation, Discovery Session, either face to face in my clinic room in Burton on Trent or online

This first session lets us get to know each other and the opportunity for you to explain how you are feeling. I’ll also explain how hypnotherapy works and how it could help you, answer your questions, and then we can chat about working together and how the sessions may proceed.

 
How many sessions will I need?

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is typically a short- to medium-term approach. Many clients notice positive shifts within 6–12 sessions, though the exact number depends on your goals and how you’d like to use our time together. The sessions are very client focused.

The process works by supporting the brain’s natural ability to re-wire and create new patterns (known as neuroplasticity). Each session focuses on progress, growth, and small, achievable steps toward the life you want.

For your safety and wellbeing, I’m unable to work with anyone currently in crisis or experiencing conditions such as psychosis. In some cases (for example, with addiction, eating disorders, or specific medical conditions), I may ask for written approval from your GP or healthcare provider before we begin, to ensure hypnotherapy is suitable for you.

Face to Face or Online?

I have a first-floor clinic room at Alice & Co, Burton on Trent. This is a beautiful, private clinic with free parking to the rear. If you live in Burton, Derby or the surrounding areas of Swadlincote, Barton, Anslow, Branston, Littleover, Mickleover, Repton, Hilton or Tutbury it is very easy to access. If you live further away or would you prefer to stay in the comfort of your own home I offer online sessions. Some of my clients have happily had a mix of face to face and online depending on their circumstances that week.

If you have any thoughts that have not been answered here, please contact me or book your discovery call. I look forward to meeting you
