Overview

I’m Stephanie Martin and I’m a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. DSFH, HPD, DipHb (KGH), AfSFH, MNCH(Reg), CNCH.

Hypnotherapy allows the conscious and subconscious mind to ‘talk’ to each other. It uses guided relaxation and focused attention to achieve a heightened awareness, which is called trance. Trance is natural, safe and very ordinary in many ways. You will have already experienced trance in your daily life, you will know it as day dreaming, its the moment your mind wanders off when reading a book or watching television. It feels like ‘switching off’ from the outside world. Hypnotherapy uses trance in a positive way, allowing your imagination to reinforce positive solutions that you have created.

Often, we don’t see the pressures of life building on us mentally or physically until it starts impacting on our daily lives. As a result, we can start to suffer from stress, anxiety, panic attacks, irrational fears and phobias, depression and much more before we start to take notice. Hypnotherapy helps you feel better by looking past how you feel and even why you feel the way you do. It will help you see what is good in the ‘here and now’ and how you build on that into your future.

Hypnotherapy can help with common conditions such as:

Fears and phobias
IBS
Depression
Anxiety
Stress
Weight Management
Confidence
Motivation
Childbirth

I believe in the positive effects’ hypnotherapy brings and how it helps your overall mindset so completely, that I qualified as a KG Hypnobirther in early 2019. Helping women to give birth calmly and in control of their own baby’s birth. Hypnobirthing is a way of managing pain and anxiety during childbirth. It involves a mixture of visualisations, relaxations, stroking massages and deep breathing exercises. Hypnobirthing will allow you to let go of your fears and anxieties, and to discover the magic and excitement of giving birth, putting you in control.

I have always loved helping people reach their potential. My aim is to help and support others discover what life is like when you are gifted the tools to make your own changes, allowing you to live the life you want. I trained at the highly regarded Clifton Practice, the UK's leading hypnotherapy school.
