What can I expect in a hypnotherapy session?
Our initial consultation allows me to get to know you and to understand your concerns.
Subsequent sessions involve solution focused techniques where I help to guide you in finding solutions to your worries and in exploring the positive changes you can make to your life.
This is followed by hypnosis where you can relax your mind listening to the guided relaxation and suggestions that I hope you will find beneficial.
How many sessions are required?
Everyone is different! Sometimes people will notice a difference very quickly after only a few sessions and some people will need much more.
Smoking cessations sessions are one 90-minute session.
Fears and phobias usually require four sessions, however can be more.

“Helping people to feel good about themselves is at the heart of who I am”
Hi, I’m Heather! I grew up in the Scottish Borders and have spent the last three decades enjoying life in Edinburgh, and I now call East Lothian home. I live with my husband John and our lively cocker spaniel and our blended family keeps life busy and fun.
Professionally, I’ve dedicated myself to caring for others, beginning with paediatric nursing and then working as a health visitor supporting families in the community. Over time, I’ve noticed how many adults and children feel overwhelmed by anxiety or life’s pressures, and I wanted to make a difference.
That’s what inspired me to train in solution focused hypnotherapy, a transformative approach that encourages positive change without dwelling on past struggles. This method aligns perfectly with my belief in supporting people to feel good about themselves and build their confidence - helping people feel good about themselves it is at the heart of who I am. Seeing clients discover their strengths and embrace a more balanced mindset is so rewarding and it is a privilege to walk alongside them on their journey to wellbeing.
