Louise Patrick, MNCH (Reg.), HPD

Overview

Hello! My name is Lou & I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist. I specialise in using a Solution Focused approach to help people

* cope with anxiety & overwhelm
* overcome phobias
* improve their mood
* sleep better and
* create more joyful lives.

I have over 50 google 5 star reviews which speak for themselves..but I also pride myself in providing a welcoming and gentle environment, either face to face or in the online space, to support people through difficult times and get the results they want.

I have a background as an Occupational Therapist in the NHS for over 20 years. I continue to practice part-time and am registered with the health Professions Council (HCPC). This reassures many of my clients and it also means that I have come across most situations!

I am based in the NE of England and offer either in person clinic sessions or online sessions via Zoom.

With Solution Focused Hypnotherapy there is no need to revisit the past - this often comes as a relief to my clients! Instead, we concentrate on your future & where you want to be and together we work out the best steps to enable you to get there.

I have a special interest in helping the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) as one myself and I am also partnered with local charities helping people cope with and accept the gifts (and challenges) that come with being neurodivergent.

I am also a qualified Reiki Master Practitioner and an Advanced Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner (sometimes known as tapping - which I can weave into therapy sessions as an extra bonus).

I am a member of the Association of Solution Focused Hypnotherapists and have regular clinical supervision. I undertake extra learning to keep me up to date with the latest developments in my area.

I am also open that I have struggled with my own mental health previously and understand how isolating and difficult this can feel. I had hypnotherapy to help with this, which is the reason I have later trained myself.
