Is Hypnotherapy for you?

Not sure if hypnotherapy is for you? I completely understand. That’s why we will have a ten minute call so you can ask any questions to see if this, and indeed I, am the right fit for you. You can then decide if you would like to book the initial consultation. Even after the initial consultation, you are under no obligation to continue sessions but will still receive the relaxation audio.

Contact me to set up your free call.

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a modern and effective approach that combines talking therapy with hypnosis. Rather than focusing on problems or past difficulties, SFH concentrates on solutions and positive change.

This forward-focused approach helps you move towards your personal goals, supporting you in becoming a calmer, more confident, and balanced version of yourself.

Hypnosis involves guided relaxation allowing the mind to enter a deeply calm and focused state. In this relaxed state, your mind becomes more open to positive changes, helping to reduce anxiety and bringing about healthier thought patterns.

SFH is gentle, practical, and empowering—designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. This includes other approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). These techniques can be used as toolkits to use following therapy.

Ways to Work with Jaya

Testimonials

When I started therapy, I only knew that I was having panic attacks. I thought something was wrong with me and that it was my fault. I wanted to understand why this was happening and how I could prevent it.
I still struggle with anxiety and panic attacks, but these are no longer as frequent or as intense as before. They don’t leave me feeling as overwhelmed or frustrated as they used to before starting therapy with Jaya.
I now understand the reasons behind what I experience. Jaya’s explanation of the brain has helped me recognise more easily when anxiety is building and what is triggering it. I try to keep a moment each day to follow the 3Ps advice and to “empty my bucket”, which has been very helpful.
Jaya has been incredibly patient with me, always kind and professional. She has explained the brain to me as many times as needed and has shown genuine joy every time I have stepped out of my comfort zone. That has really helped me stay positive. I have noticed a real improvement since starting therapy with her.
The Mp3 I listen to every night has been a great tool.

Daniela

Working with Jaya has helped me increase my confidence, reduce my anxiety and I am now sleeping better (with less early morning wakeups and drifting off to sleep more easily). I still have some occasional bad nights, but I now feel more able to get into a relaxed state and drift off to sleep.
Most significantly, my confidence has increased, and I’ve been able to make big decisions about things I was stuck on (this includes booking two family holidays and making a decision to return to study and then applying for two courses).
Jaya has a very calming and reassuring demeanour. It is like talking to a good friend. I enjoyed the weekly check-in as much as the hypnotherapy itself.

Anna

I wanted to reach more calmness and mindfulness towards life and with my children. I achieved this goal but continue to use the tools provided to me in the long-term. To pause, think, breathe and in which way to use my brain and thoughts to move forward in situations that I may face.

Anonymous

I hoped to achieve a greater understanding of my inner thoughts, and how to create and plan day-by-day to achieve my goals. I have achieved the goals I set out for myself.
I achieved a greater understanding of how the brain works, and how to spot when I may be operating from a more primitive & emotional place in my brain as opposed to the more reasonable place. This was a profound revelation, and has helped ground me during stressful situations.

Jacob

Normally, my son would turn away, avoid eye contact, and even cross the road to avoid a dog walking past him. Now, however, he feels comfortable staying on the same path and can walk past dogs without needing to turn away or avoid them.
The session gave him a solid understanding of how fear develops, how the larger part of the brain works in everyday situations, and the importance of sleep and compartmentalisation.
