About Me...

Hi, I’m Jen, I'm a fully qualified Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist based in the North West, working face to face in Burscough or online with both adults and children over 8.

Before I became a hypnotherapist, I spent over 17 years working in the NHS, mostly in medicines management. I loved the work, but I always found myself drawn to the people behind it, and to how much our thoughts, stress and emotions affect the way we feel day to day.

I left the NHS to work as a tutor in personal development at a college, where I saw how much difference the right support, at the right time, can make to someone’s confidence and outlook.

Why I do this work

I know what it’s like to live with anxiety, phobias Tinnitus and I know what it’s like to go through the heartache of infertility. I’ve been through those experiences myself, which means I come to this work with understanding, not just training and its my passion to help others.

I won’t judge, I won’t tell you to “just relax” or “stay positive”, and I won’t pretend to know exactly how you feel as we're all different. What I can promise is that I’ll listen, and I’ll work with you at your pace and we will be a team.

My approach

I use solution focused hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, using various techniques and a forward-looking approach that focuses on where you want to be and the strengths you already have, rather than dwelling on the problem. Sessions are calm, gentle and relaxing, and you’re in control throughout.
