Clinical Hypnotherapy at The Pebble Ridge Practice, Devon
Hypnotherapist of the Year 20/21


Voted Best Children’s and Young People’s Mental Health Therapist in Devon 2022 by The Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards 2022
Are you are ready to embrace POSITIVE change?
Will today be your Day 1 or will it be just one Day?
I am an Award Winning, fully qualified, accredited and experienced Therapist and Lecturer specialising in Solution Focused Therapy, using Clinical Hypnotherapy/Psychotherapy and Talking therapy (SFBT-Solution Focused Brief Therapy). These are evidenced and strength based approaches which are short term, goal orientated, with the focus on client strengths and life without the problem. I help you to work towards your best hopes bringing about significant positive change.
I work with Children, Young People, Adults and Couples and I lecture with INSPIRAOLOGY in Exeter, training others to become Clinical Hypnotherapists.
I can help you with the treatment of:
- Stress
- Overwhelm
- Anxiety
- Low Mood/Depression
- Post-natal depression
- Insomnia & Improving Sleeping patterns
- Panic Attacks
- PTSD/Traumas
- Confidence & Self Esteem
- Weight Loss
- Fears & Phobias
- Giving up Smoking and much more…
Just because the problem that has brought you to seek help may be big or complicated, it doesn’t necessarily follow that you will be in therapy for a long time. Solution Focused therapy is quick working and there is more time between sessions to notice changes, therefore saving you time and money!
Choose between Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT talking therapy) or Clinical Hypnotherapy, both of which allow you to focus on your preferred future which encourages a shift in perspective (we can discuss which is best for you during a consultation)
I will focus on what you want to achieve and help you find the Best Version of you, looking towards a future where you are in control and free to enjoy your life with a confident and a positive outlook.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
So… what happens in a Hypnotherapy session?
A Clinical Hypnotherapy session usually starts with talking and exploring the outcomes you would like to achieve. We will also talk about the mind to help you understand why you feel as you do, and finish with deep relaxation (hypnosis or trance as we call it) which is a very natural and deeply relaxing way to reinforce and embed new helpful patterns of behaviour.
What if I want to talk about the problem?
Sessions are always client led and you always have time to talk about a problem or issue if it is helpful for you. My role is to ask Questions to help you identify your inner strengths and resources.
I can’t be hypnotised!!!
Trance is very natural and it is nothing like you have seen on TV. I liken it to someone saying your name, where you may not hear them and they say it again and you may say ‘Sorry I was miles away’. That’s Trance!
If you have a problem that you feel you just haven’t ‘dealt’ with and can’t get over, or feel that you just want to rediscover/discover the real you, then Clinical Hypnotherapy may just be what you are looking for.
