Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner & Coach - Supporting Women to Flourish in Midlife My support is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

If you’re a woman navigating the demands of midlife, you might feel like you’re running on empty. Juggling menopause symptoms, family care, career responsibilities, and that lingering feeling of 'where did I go?' is exhausting. This sense of overwhelm, anxiety, and lost confidence is incredibly common, but it doesn't have to be your constant state. I’m your Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, and Wellbeing Coach. At Aurora Hypnotherapy, I provide a gentle, confidential space for you to finally put yourself first. My Approach is simple: Transformation through Calm

With 12 years of clinical experience, I work with you to understand your individual needs, providing tailored support and powerful, practical tools you can use every day. I focus on helping you find:
Deep Calm: Reducing daily stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights. Menopause Balance: Supporting emotional and physical symptoms through mind-body techniques. Renewed Confidence: Reclaiming your sense of self-esteem and clarity for the next chapter. I don’t just offer a listening ear; I provide powerful, practical tools that create lasting change in your everyday life. My practice is warm, nurturing and puts you at its' heart. My journey into this work started with my own struggles with anxiety, and the profound results inspired me to retrain. Now, I’m dedicated to offering that same transformative potential to you. I am CNHC accredited, ensuring safe and professional care. I chose the name 'Aurora' because it means 'dawn'. I believe that with the right support, midlife isn't an ending, it's a fresh start.

IBS is far more than “a bit of a sensitive stomach.”

For many people, it brings daily discomfort, unpredictable flare‑ups, and a level of distress that quietly shapes work, relationships, and confidence. It’s a condition that affects both the body and the mind - and that’s exactly why gut‑directed hypnotherapy can be so effective.

IBS is now understood as a disorder of gut–brain interaction. When that communication becomes dysregulated, symptoms can intensify. Research shows that gut‑directed hypnotherapy can help calm this system, reduce sensitivity, and ease symptoms such as pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation.

As someone trained in hypnotherapy for IBS, I’ve supported many clients who felt exhausted, restricted, or overwhelmed by their symptoms. Watching them re‑engage with life again - with more ease, more predictability, and a renewed sense of confidence - is one of the most rewarding parts of this work.

A small, useful tip for this month:
Place one hand on your belly and one on your chest.
Breathe in slowly through your nose and let the lower hand rise first. This gentle “belly‑first” breath can help settle the nervous system, which in turn may reduce the intensity of IBS symptoms. Simple, but often surprisingly soothing.

If you’re living with IBS, please know you’re not imagining it, you’re not overreacting, and you’re not alone. There are approaches that can help — and hypnotherapy is one of them.

If you’d like to explore this work in a supportive way, you’re welcome to join my monthly Deep Pause relaxation sessions. They’re not IBS‑specific, but they offer a calm space to soften the stress response that so often fuels symptoms. Or please do get in touch for a chat.

This Monday, pause.
Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly, and take three slow breaths.
Feel your body soften as you exhale.
A tiny moment of presence can reset your whole day.

How are you feeling as spring begins?
As the days brighten and the world slowly wakes up again, many women tell me they feel a mix of hope, tiredness, restlessness, and a desire for ‘something to shift’. If that resonates, you’re not alone.

This time of year – around the Spring Equinox, or Ostara – naturally invites us to pause, rebalance, and gently begin again. It’s a season rooted in balance, renewal, and growth, and those themes can be powerful guides for your mindset and wellbeing.

In my latest blog post I want to share how you can use this seasonal energy to support yourself, feel more grounded, and create small but meaningful changes in your everyday life.

I hope you find it helpful x

🌿 New blog post: Beneath the Winter Shell – Finding Your Inner Gold 🌿

I’ve just published something that feels especially relevant for this time of year - that strange in‑between space where we think we should be bursting into spring energy… but many of us are still carrying the heaviness of winter.

In this piece, I explore why emerging into spring is less about “bouncing back” and more about unfurling - slowly, gently, at your own pace.

I share the beautiful story of the Golden Buddha, a reminder that even when we feel covered in layers of survival mode, the gold inside us never disappears. It just waits for the right moment to be revealed.

If you’ve been feeling tired, slow, or not‑quite‑ready for spring, this one’s for you. It includes simple, soothing ways to help your nervous system thaw and reconnect with the light again.

You can read it here: https://aurorahypnotherapy.co.uk/beneath-the-winter-shell-finding-your-inner-gold/

And if you’re craving a deeper reset, I’d love to welcome you to my next Deep Pause Session on March 29th - a guided, restorative experience to help you shed the last of winter’s weight and step into spring feeling lighter and more grounded.

✨ Your Monthly Deep Pause: Spring Balance, Renewal & Growth

As the season shifts and the world begins to wake again, many of us feel that quiet pull for something to soften… something to release… something new to begin.

If you’re craving a moment to set down your mental load and reconnect with yourself, I’d love to welcome you to Your Monthly Deep Pause - a live, guided hypnotherapy experience designed to bring you into a level of rest far deeper than meditating or listening to a recording alone.

This month’s theme is inspired by the energy of early spring:

🌷 Balance - returning to your centre
🌷 Renewal - letting go of what feels heavy
🌷 Growth - taking gentle steps toward what you need next

I’ll guide you through:
🪻 a soothing breathing practice
🪻 deep physical relaxation
🪻 a journey of renewal and quiet growth to calm your nervous system, and restore inner ease

All from the comfort of your own space.

If you’re ready to pause, breathe, and feel deeply supported…
If you’re longing for a moment that’s just for you…
If you want to step into spring feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded…

This session is for you.

I’ve put together a gentle, easy‑to‑read guide that explains how I work, what happens in sessions, and how hypnotherapy can support you.

There are three very good things happening today 😊

Not only is it officially the first day of Spring, a time for balance and renewal, but it’s also International Day of Happiness, a day dedicated to wellbeing.

To top it off, today is Aurora Hypnotherapy’s 12th birthday! Twelve years ago, I tentatively began this journey as a clinical hypnotherapist. While so much has changed since then, my ethos remains exactly the same: providing the nurturing, empowering support people need to create positive change.

It feels so right to celebrate all three today. My work has always been about helping people to find their new beginnings so that they can thrive and enjoy lasting wellbeing.

Here’s to the next 12 years - and more 🥂

I’d love to know: what is one small thing bringing you a sense of joy today?

Fabulous sunset on my way home from Better Health & Wellbeing Hub Parc Dewi Sant this evening. This sunshine makes everything so much better ☀️🥰

The sun has has come out at last!

To help your nervous system emerge out of hibernation mode at your own pace, here are some easy ways to begin to unfurl with the Spring:

🌷 Listen for the dawn chorus: Spend five minutes by a window today and listen for the birdsong. The return of the dawn chorus is one of the first true signs that Spring is winning.

🌷 Open your posture: The darkness of winter can make us hunch our shoulders – and our posture affects how we feel. So gently roll your shoulders back and open your palms. This tiny movement signals to your body and your mind that you are safe and at ease.

🌷 Play eye spy: The next time you pop out, look for one thing that’s emerging – a bud or a patch of brighter grass. It’s a reminder that life is moving forward.

14/03/2026

All set up at the Better Health & Wellbeing Hub this morning for the Parc Dewi Sant open day. If you’re popping in please come and say hi and find out about all of the wonderful therapies on offer.

Are you ready to wake up to a bright new dawn?

Hello. My name is Elaine Collins and I am a professionally qualified hypnotherapist.

Hypnotherapy is a deeply relaxing therapy that can help you to make positive changes in your life that can improve both your physical and mental well-being. My practice is warm, caring and supportive and puts you at its heart.

Hypnosis is a completely natural state of mind that we all experience every day – we just don’t notice it because it is such a natural state. It’s been compared to being engrossed in a television programme whilst overhearing a conversation in the background. Basically all else fades into unimportance.

When we are in this state of altered consciousness it becomes possible to make changes to the way we behave, think or feel. My role as a therapist is to use a set of hypnosis techniques to guide you into this natural state of altered consciousness so that you can make the positive changes that you need, and want, to make to your thoughts or behaviour.
