🌿 About Me
I’m Annie Thomas, a trauma-informed hypnotherapist and emotional wellbeing specialist with over 30 years’ experience. Through Mindful Beginnings, I offer solution-focused hypnotherapy and practical emotional support—online and face-to-face—for people dealing with anxiety, phobias, driving test nerves, or general stress.
My approach combines hypnotherapy, emotional well-being strategies, and CBT in a way that’s respectful, down-to-earth, and tailored to each person. I aim to create a space where you can explore what’s going on, build emotional resilience, and take manageable steps forward.
This work is about helping you feel more in control, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.

🧘‍♀️ Looking Back: My 30-Day Yoga Challenge 🌿

Two years ago, I completed a 30-day yoga challenge. It wasn’t about mastering poses—it was about consistency, reflection, and making space for myself each day. Revisiting that journey this week reminded me how much those small daily choices shaped the way I work and support others now.

I’m Annie, founder of Mindful Beginnings, a hypnotherapy and wellbeing practice based in Bridgend. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, low mood, and emotional stress—offering gentle, tailored hypnotherapy both online and in person.

Whether it’s through movement, breathwork, or therapeutic scripts, I believe in practical, compassionate support that meets people where they are.

If you’re curious about hypnotherapy or looking for a calm, professional space to explore emotional wellness, feel free to reach out.

💚 Annie
