My journey into Hypnotherapy

Life isn't easy - I think many of us can relate to that!

​

I'm late diagnosed autistic and ADHD, and for over 40 years I struggled to understand why life often seemed harder than it appeared to be for everyone else.

 

Along the way, I lost a dear friend to suicide, found myself in abusive relationships, and gradually lost my sense of who I was and where I was heading.

​

Anxiety and depression became such a normal part of life that I stopped questioning them. I spent so much time just surviving that I forgot what it felt like to truly enjoy life or feel hopeful about the future.

​

Then, by chance, I discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.

Not as a therapist, but as someone who needed help.

​

For the first time in a very long time, I was given the space to breathe, to understand myself better, and to realise that the way I was feeling didn't have to be permanent. I began to understand how my mind worked, why I felt the way I did, and how small changes could gradually lead me home to myself.

​

Things began to change. The anxiety eased, my confidence slowly returned, and life began to feel possible again. Most importantly, I started to reconnect with myself and build a future that felt like it belonged to me.

​

The impact was so profound that it led me to train as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist myself.

​

Today, I have the privilege of helping other people find their own way forward. While everyone's story is different, I know what it feels like to lose yourself, to feel stuck, and to wonder whether things can ever really change.​  I now know that they can.

​

Hypnotherapy gave me the space to grow into the person I wanted to become.

No-one needs 'fixing', they just need the right support to find their own way.
