Fears and phobias really are debilitating. They stop you from carrying out day to day tasks and limit the experiences you do. Solution focused hypnotherapy is a very effective way to tackle your phobia. It is a very gentle process and for simple phobia's only 4 sessions are needed. If you want to book a summer holiday but the fear of flying is stopping you, or you garden needs tackling but the thought of spiders is stopping you please get in touch to find out more information.

Confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something your brain learns.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works by helping your mind shift from self-doubt to self-belief, using both psychology and neuroscience.

🧠 Here’s what’s happening in your brain:
When you’re stressed or lacking confidence, the amygdala (your threat centre) is overactive, triggering anxiety and negative self-talk. Hypnotherapy helps calm this response, allowing the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain responsible for rational thinking, focus, and decision-making — to work more effectively.

🌱 In sessions, we focus on:
✔️ Strengths instead of problems
✔️ Goals instead of past limitations
✔️ Positive future imagery instead of fear-based thinking

Through deep relaxation and targeted suggestions, the brain forms new neural pathways — a process called neuroplasticity. Over time, confident thoughts and behaviours become your brain’s default setting.

💼 At work:
• Speak up with ease
• Feel capable and prepared
• Handle pressure calmly

💛 In personal life:
• Trust yourself
• Set boundaries confidently
• Feel more self-assured and resilient

Confidence grows when your nervous system feels safe and your mind knows where it’s going.

✨ Small shifts. Big changes.

It is always so nice to have positive feedback. I loved working with this client after two sessions she passed her driving test which gave her independence. We then worked on school anxiety and exams. She is now thriving in an amazing apprenticeship. 🩷

🧠✨ Why Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Works – The Neuroscience Behind Change ✨🧠

Your brain is constantly learning, adapting, and rewiring itself. Thanks to neuroplasticity, the brain can form new neural pathways at any age—meaning change is always possible.

🌱 Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works with your brain, not against it. Instead of analysing past problems, it helps calm the nervous system and activate the brain’s natural ability to create positive patterns of thought and behaviour.

When you’re relaxed:
• The prefrontal cortex (rational thinking) works more effectively
• The amygdala (fear centre) becomes less reactive
• New, healthier neural pathways can be formed

This is why hypnotherapy can feel empowering rather than overwhelming—your brain is in the best state to learn, adapt, and grow.

🤍 Why work with Kate from Dove Hypnotherapy?
Kate is an experienced Solution Focused Hypnotherapist working with individuals from 8 years old upwards, supporting clients through a wide range of challenges, including:
• Fears and phobias
• Smoking and va**ng
• Stress and anxiety
• Menopause
• Weight management
• Confidence and performance management
• Eating disorders
• Grief and loss

By combining modern neuroscience with a compassionate, forward-focused approach, Kate helps individuals strengthen their minds, build resilience, and move towards the life they want—step by step.

✨ Change isn’t about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about training your brain to work for you. Contact me for more information.

✨ 3 Pillars of Wellness: The Foundation for a Strong New Year ✨

As a new year begins, it’s the perfect time to reset, refocus, and build a healthier, more balanced you. True wellbeing rests on three essential pillars:

🧠 Mental
Your thoughts, boundaries, and emotional resilience shape how you experience life. Prioritising your mental health helps you manage stress, build confidence, and stay focused on what really matters.

💪 Physical
Looking after your body supports your energy, sleep, and overall vitality. When you feel stronger physically, it becomes easier to stay motivated and consistent with your goals.

🤍 Social
Connection is key. Supportive, meaningful relationships help you feel understood, encouraged, and less alone as you grow and change.

🌱 Why balance matters
When one pillar is neglected, the others can wobble. A balanced approach creates stability, clarity, and momentum—especially at the start of a new year when intentions are fresh.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy supports all three pillars by helping you:
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve sleep and motivation
• Build confidence and positive habits
• Stay focused on solutions rather than problems

Instead of dwelling on the past, this approach helps you move forward with clarity and purpose—making your goals feel achievable and sustainable.

💫 This year, invest in balance, not burnout. Small, supported changes can lead to powerful transformation. Contact me for an initial consultation.

🌿 Feeling anxious? You’re not alone 🌿

Anxiety can leave you feeling on edge — racing thoughts, a pounding heart, sleepless nights, and constant worry. These symptoms happen when the amygdala (your brain’s alarm system) becomes overactive, keeping your body in “fight or flight” mode.

✨ Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps calm this response.
Using relaxation, positive focus, and gentle hypnosis, it supports your prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that helps you think clearly and find solutions. Over time, your mind learns to stay calm and balanced again.

You can retrain your brain to respond with confidence, not fear. 🌱

🚭 **Ready to quit smoking or va**ng for good?**

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you break free without willpower battles or withdrawal panic. Instead of focusing on what you’re giving up, we focus on what you’re gaining — health, confidence, freedom, and control.

By combining deep relaxation with positive psychology, hypnotherapy retrains your subconscious mind to see yourself as a non-smoker — calm, clear, and in charge. Most clients feel lighter and more motivated after just one session.

It’s not about fighting cravings — it’s about changing how your brain responds to them. When your mindset shifts, the habit loses its power.

💨 Take a deep breath — your smoke-free life starts here.

Sleep is one of the most important foundations for good mental and physical health, yet it’s often one of the first things to suffer when life feels stressful.

Whether it’s exam season, personal challenges, professional pressures or the hormonal changes of menopause, disrupted sleep can leave us feeling anxious, exhausted and unable to think clearly.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be an effective way to restore healthy sleep patterns. By calming the mind and reducing anxiety, it helps to break the cycle of worry and sleeplessness. The approach focuses on moving forward and creating positive habits that support relaxation and balance.

Sessions are gentle, empowering and designed to help you rediscover a sense of calm and control — so you can rest well and wake refreshed.

If you’d like to know more about how hypnotherapy can support better sleep, please get in touch to arrange a free initial consultation.

The process is gentle, relaxing and highly effective, offering practical tools to support lasting improvements in wellbeing.

If you’d like to find out more or see how hypnotherapy could help you or someone you know, please get in touch. I’m offering free initial consultations throughout November – a safe and supportive space to take that first step.
