Hello, my name is Jessica.
I am a fully qualified hypno-psychotherapist. I specialise in helping highly sensitive people, and those with ADHD (it doesn’t have to be diagnosed).
I truly know how frustrating it is when all you can think about and focus on is the issue you're facing. So many people are experiencing anxiety, lethargy and chronic overthinking.
Thankfully, there are many ways I can help.
What is hypnosis like?
Hypnosis is a respectful and gentle therapy. Even in situations that have been deeply troubling, perhaps traumatic, there are really creative ways to lessen the impact and get you back to living your best life.
Hypnotherapy is a very effective way to identify the root causes of issues and change them quickly.
We don't use only 'hypnosis' - I like to say I do what works. That could be a range of highly effective interventions, particularly aimed at severe anxiety and gently repairing your overloaded nervous system.
You can arrange a no-obligation Zoom consultation by sending me a message here.
What you need to know
I can help. I have 8 years of experience in private practice, using Trance, NLP, Neuropsychotherapy and behavioural techniques to dramatically improve your quality of life.
I'm easy to talk to and create a warm, safe and welcoming space.
I'll help you find the most effective way to create the changes you'd like. I have so many tools we can draw on to create a bespoke approach that targets your issues.
We'll have a zoom chat to find out more about you (and for you to get to know me). I'll give you an idea what tools we might use right away and how many sessions you might need to see a positive change.
I'm an award-winning, qualified, certified hypnotherapist with a certificate in hypno-psychotherapy. > See my qualifications here.
I am also an ADHD and High Sensitivity Coach and this means I'm great at working TOWARDS goals rather than AWAY from problems. I know that solutions are within your grasp.
I truly care about the progress you make. Because of this you will have:
Personally-targeted hypnotherapy recording
to listen to between sessions to ensure you feel calm, confident and in control.
Access to Recordings:
Your sessions are stored in your own designated online area. Here I will share information such as: PDFs, recordings and information around your treatment.
Clear Goals
We agree these and then include them in everything we do. There is a better life on the other side of this, so let's start focusing on that. I am staunchly solution-focused.
Home-play
The brain is plastic and can make dramatic changes; but you need to practice between sessions to consolidate all your changes.
My Approach
I appreciate that we are all different and you may not feel too concerned with my methods at this stage (or ever!), and that's absolutely fine. However, some people like to have lots of information to help them feel sure about choosing a therapist.
I use an integrative approach to therapy which basically means I draw on lots of different approaches from humanistic and behavioural therapies, and also use a range of hypnoanalytic techniques. My training is in hypno-psychotherapy meaning that I have received rigorous training in understanding the underlying causes behind unwanted behaviours. I use this knowledge skilfully to support you to integrate those areas of your personality that may have been ignored or damaged and are now making themselves felt or heard through unwanted behaviours.
“It is worth remembering that we came into this world as whole human beings and that we can reclaim this wholeness and wellness, re-membering (putting back together) who we really are.
Your mind and body already know how to be well, you just need to remember. That sounds easy, doesn't it? We all know how to remember!
I feel humbled when clients finish our therapy feeling good about themselves and empowered to become an expert on their own lives and happiness. I see it as giving people a tool box of techniques that they can use in the future, making them much less likely to need me again!”
My Credentials
Whilst I don't want to overwhelm you with information, I do feel strongly about the importance of hypnotherapists being well-trained and I take a great deal of pride in offering an excellent service that is backed by Masters level accreditation.
I know that looking for a trusted and qualified therapist might feel like a daunting task. If it helps you make a decision then do explore my qualifications gained from the highly respected and UKCP affiliated National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy - the oldest training organisation of hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy in the UK.
I undergo regular supervision with a highly-qualified hypno-psychotherapist to ensure that my treatment is relevant, effective, ethical and of the very highest standard.

Long-lasting change
It's really important to me that the changes you experience are long-lasting. You'll find that when you leave, you feel really confident about overcoming everyday challenges. You will have a toolbox of techniques that will be specifically suited to you and you'll feel excited about using them independently.
I'd like to offer a space that is yours, where you can feel listened to and valued, hopefully making your task feel safer and easier. I know that it can feel hard to share your innermost thoughts and fears and I want to reassure you that you will receive only acceptance and respect in return.

I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore what's bothering you and then change it. You may even find you enjoy your sessions and realise that you know far more about how to help yourself than you thought!
I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.
Jessica
