These are some of the areas i commonly support in my practice, though this is not an exhaustive list, hypnotherapy can help with much more.
What can Hypnotherapy help with?
Sleep difficulties often come from an overactive or anxious mind at night, making it hard to switch off and fully unwind. Hypnotherapy helps calm racing thoughts and reduce overall stress levels, allowing the mind and body to settle more easily and build consistent sleep over time.

Depression often involves low mood, low motivation, and negative thinking patterns. Hypnotherapy works by gently retraining the mind to notice positives and build small, achievable steps forward. Over time, this can help improve confidence, motivation, and overall emotional wellbeing.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming and persistent, often affecting both the mind and body. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps calm the nervous system, reduce overthinking, and encourage more positive, balanced thought patterns, helping you feel more in control and relaxed over time.

Stress occurs when demands begin to feel overwhelming or difficult to manage, often affecting both mental and physical wellbeing. Hypnotherapy helps calm the nervous system and encourages the mind to move away from constant “survival mode” thinking into a calmer, more balanced, and solution-focused state. This can help improve resilience, reduce feelings of overwhelm, and support healthier responses to everyday pressures.
stress
Burnout is physical and emotional exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy supports recovery by reducing pressure, restoring balance, and helping the mind rebuild resilience. It can also help you become more aware of the early warning signs of burnout, making it easier to manage stress and maintain healthier boundaries before overwhelm builds up.
burnout
OCD involves intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours that can feel distressing and difficult to control. Hypnotherapy helps reduce the emotional intensity attached to intrusive thoughts, making them feel less overwhelming and easier to manage. It also supports calmer thinking patterns, strengthens the ability to break unhelpful cycles, and helps build a greater sense of control and confidence over time.

Low confidence can involve self-doubt, hesitation, and a negative perception of yourself that can hold you back in different areas of life. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy may help encourage a more positive and realistic self-view by gently shifting unhelpful thought patterns and reinforcing strengths. Over time, this can support greater self-belief, improved motivation, and a stronger sense of confidence in everyday situations.
confidence
Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear that can include strong physical symptoms such as a racing heart, dizziness, shortness of breath, or a sense of losing control. Hypnotherapy can help support a calmer response to anxiety and stress by reducing overall arousal in the nervous system and helping the mind feel more grounded. Over time, this can make panic symptoms feel less overwhelming and help build confidence in managing anxious feelings.
panic attacks
Phobias are intense, often irrational fears of specific objects, situations, or experiences that can trigger strong emotional and physical reactions. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps the brain gradually reframe these fear responses, so they begin to feel less threatening and easier to manage. By reducing anxiety and building a greater sense of calm and control, hypnotherapy can help increase confidence and make everyday situations feel less overwhelming over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is most effective when sessions are attended regularly and consistently, allowing progress to develop and strengthen over time. Usually we recommend weekly to begin with until you're in a good place and then often clients start to reduce thier sessions during maintenance.
do i need to come every week?
The number of sessions can vary based on your individual needs and the areas you’d like support with.
Some people experience positive changes quite quickly, while others find it helpful to continue over a longer period. An average for clients experiencing anxiety for example is around 6-12 sessions.
how many sessions will i need?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy centres on the present and future rather than analysing past experiences. Instead of revisiting difficult moments, it focuses on what is already going well in your life, the changes you would like to make, and practical steps to help you move forward. This forward-looking approach is why many people find it so refreshing .
Do I have to talk about my past?
I specialise mainly in anxiety, high functioning anxiety and burnout because I've been there and I get it! I also love working with sleep but I really do enjoy the variety of working with all different areas. I also have a lot of experience working with younger people and neurodiversity both from my teaching experience and through my practice.

'Lyndsey offers a life changing service!'
I had my first session with Lyndsey in December last year following the death of my Dad, I was struggling with anxiety, grief and low mood and she has turned my life around. I like how Lyndsey explains the science around how your brain works and how anxieties are formed, it made everything seem easier to understand! She helped me form new habits of writing down everything that has been good every day and surrounding myself with positivity. 9 months on, my mental health is the best its ever been! I'm now able to appreciate small moments with my daughter and appreciate just life in general, with my overall outlook on life being so much more positive. I've even started helping friends who are struggling by passing on advice and what has worked for me. Added bonus that I've now been cigarette-free for 8 months which I thought would never happen! Lyndsey offers a life-changing service and I'm so SO grateful. Thank you again!!

'Nice, calm atmosphere'
After suffering from anxiety due to illness Lyndsey explained to me about how our brains work. It seemed so simple to follow her advice, and it was.
After a few sessions, where we talked in a nice calm atmosphere,
I began to feel so much better than I thought possible.
Appreciating the simple things in life and focusing on the good things on a daily basis was key to my recovery.
Thank you Lyndsey.
