Hi, I’m Helen, a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner and life coach, and I’m passionate about helping people create positive, lasting change in their lives.

I know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, confidence, sleep, habits, overwhelm or simply feeling stuck, my aim is to provide a calm, supportive space where you can begin moving forwards with clarity and confidence.

My approach is warm, collaborative and practical. I work alongside you to help you better understand what’s happening in your mind, recognise your strengths and develop new ways of thinking and responding that support the life you want to live.

I mainly use Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, combining gentle hypnosis with modern neuroscience and positive, forward-focused therapeutic techniques. Where helpful, I also draw on my training in NLP and coaching to tailor sessions to your unique needs.

 

My Background

Before training as a therapist, I spent many years working in Learning and Development for a large global company. That experience gave me a deep understanding of people, communication, personal growth and the challenges that can come with balancing work, life and wellbeing.

Over time, I realised that the part of my role I loved most was helping people build confidence, overcome obstacles and achieve more than they thought possible. That ultimately led me into coaching, and then into hypnotherapy – a field that perfectly combines my fascination with psychology, neuroscience and human behaviour with my desire to help people make meaningful changes in their lives.

 

Qualifications and Training

I believe you should feel confident that you are working with someone properly trained and committed to professional standards, while also knowing you’ll be treated as a person rather than a problem to be “fixed”.

My qualifications include:

• Level 4 Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD)
• Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH)
• NLP Master Practitioner qualification
• Life coaching training

I completed my hypnotherapy training through Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), one of the UK’s leading Solution Focused Hypnotherapy training schools.

 

How I Work

I offer sessions from my home therapy room, from a clinic in Maldon, or online via Zoom. Many people are surprised by how effective online hypnotherapy can be, but it works just as well as meeting in person – allowing you to access support from the comfort of your own home.

No two clients are the same, so I tailor sessions to your needs and goals. My role is to provide support, structure and encouragement while helping you discover the resources and abilities you already have within you.

 

A Little About Me Outside of Work

Outside the therapy room, I’m a huge fan of heavy rock music, with Rammstein and AC/DC among my favourites. I also love knitting, crocheting, sudoku, quizzes, psychological thrillers and step aerobics.

I live with my husband, our younger son and our two cats. One of them considers himself part of the therapy team and is often found waiting to greet clients, while the other is mainly motivated by the possibility of snacks.

 

Ready to Take the Next Step?

If you have any questions, or you’d simply like to find out whether hypnotherapy is right for you, please feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to have an informal conversation and help you decide what support would be most helpful.
