Rebecca Hutchings, MNCH (Reg.), HPD

Overview

About Me
I’m Rebecca, a qualified hypnotherapist and counsellor offering hypnotherapy in Somerset and online across the UK. I hold the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD), awarded by the National Council for Hypnotherapy, and I bring over 30 years of professional counselling experience to my work. My practice combines evidence‑based hypnotherapy with a calm, relational approach that helps people feel safe, supported, and ready for change.

What I Help With
People often come to me for hypnotherapy when they want to reduce anxiety, manage stress, break unhelpful habits, or feel more confident in everyday life. I work with a wide range of concerns, including:

Anxiety and generalised worry

Stress and burnout

Confidence and self‑esteem

Phobias and fears

Sleep problems and overthinking

Habit change (including emotional eating and unwanted behaviours)

Emotional overwhelm

Life transitions and relationship challenges

My background as a counsellor means I can support deeper emotional patterns while hypnotherapy offers a focused, effective way to create lasting change.

My Approach
Sessions are gentle, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. Hypnotherapy helps you access the subconscious patterns that shape thoughts and behaviours, while counselling skills ensure you feel grounded, understood, and fully in control throughout. Many clients describe the work as calming, empowering, and surprisingly practical.

Experience and Qualifications
Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD), awarded by the National Council for Hypnotherapy

Qualified counsellor with 30 years’ experience

Extensive work with adults, young people, couples, and fellow therapists

Relational, ethical, and trauma‑aware approach

This depth of experience allows me to work with sensitivity and confidence, especially with clients who have tried other approaches and want something more integrative.

Location and Availability
I offer hypnotherapy online throughout the UK and face‑to‑face in a peaceful setting in Somerset. Many clients choose online sessions for convenience, while others prefer the grounding of in‑person work. Both options are equally effective.

What to Expect
Your first session is a chance to explore what you’re hoping for and to get a sense of how we can work together. You can expect a warm welcome, a steady presence, and a space where nothing is too much. Hypnotherapy is always paced to suit you—never rushed and always centred on your wellbeing.
