Vicky Sutherland Hypnotherapy

Vicky Sutherland Hypnotherapy I am a solution focused hypnotherapist specialising in anxiety disorders, insomnia, depression, OCD, phobias, weight, confidence/self esteem and more.

I can see you over zoom or in person and I am currently charging £60 per 1-hour session. Solution focused hypnotherapy focusses on the solution rather than the problem - looking forward rather than dwelling on the past. By explaining how the brain works, having solution focused discussions and combining with guided relaxation and visualisations, together we can get the real you back and make positive, lasting changes.

As we start the New Year, it’s exciting to think about the goals we’d love to achieve.

But when there’s too much to do, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and end up doing nothing.

That’s why focusing on the first small step matters so much. In solution focused hypnotherapy, we work by breaking things down, taking things one step at a time, and noticing the small wins along the way.

Over Christmas I had a slightly random idea that I wanted to learn the violin. I didn’t have a full plan — I just sent an enquiry to a local teacher. Now I’m about to go to my first free taster session in Bath! 🎻

It’s amazing how quickly one small step can create momentum and lead onto exciting things.

If you find it hard to take action, hypnotherapy can help. When you’re in trance, your attention turns inward and parts of the brain linked to imagination and future planning become more active. This can make it easier to mentally rehearse change and take those next small steps towards your goals.

I’ve got a few spaces left for new clients this month. If you’d like to know more, feel free to pop me a message and we can arrange a free initial phone call. 07359 192193

Thank you for the lovely testimonial! Driving anxiety is very common and can be really restrictive. It was great to help this client in only 4 sessions and give her back the freedom to explore the country and visit family again 😊

A fun morning recording some new relaxation audios for my clients! Thank you for the use of your wonderful studio where I felt like a real professional! And for all your help and patience as I got to grips with the technology…

Nothing like a good puzzle coupled with a bit of nostalgia! Thank you to my lovely Corsham friends for the perfect birthday gift and for knowing me so well. I’m assuming all the other children of the 90s had the fun fax?!

If you’re looking for some mindful activities to relax your nervous system and have a break from all the whirling thoughts, a puzzle is a great activity.

I’ve learned that mindfulness doesn’t have to be hours of meditation, just finding more activities throughout the day that bring you into the moment is just as good.

Onto my beginners crochet set next…😆

Hope everyone had a lovely summer ☀️

I just wanted to share these 2 testimonials to demonstrate that you may come to see me about one specific issue, but you’re likely to leave with a lot more than you bargained for!

These 2 clients came in about very specific issues - the first one for nail biting 💅 and the second for spider phobia 🕷️ But I love how they have both come away happier, more resilient and with tools to help manage their wellbeing for a more relaxed and positive future.

As always I will miss working with these lovely ladies but so nice to know they’re moving forward. ⭐️

⭐️ The power of the story we tell ourselves – a personal insight ⭐️

I don’t usually share personal things, but I felt this might help someone.

If you’ve known me a while, you’ll know I’ve always struggled with back pain – and running was something I avoided completely. After being told in my early 20s I had “degenerative disc disease”, I believed running would only make things worse.

But over time, I’ve learnt how much our thoughts – and the words we use – shape our reality.

This year, I decided to change the story:
“I can run.” 🏃‍♀️ I started the ‘Couch to 5K’ in February 2025 and just completed my final 30-minute run! 🙌

It wasn’t easy. In the beginning, I could feel every jolt in my back. But I reminded myself: running is natural and nothing is seriously “broken”.

Everyone’s discs wear with age – but being told you have a degenerative disease in your 20s, feels like something is seriously wrong, and that belief shaped my behaviour. I avoided certain movements, and my back would often spasm – not from injury, but from a fear-driven feedback loop trying to protect me.

The old story had me stuck in a cycle – fear, spasms, stress, more pain. Now, when my back twinges, I try to breathe, relax, and carry on. Most of the time, it eases.

Of course, sometimes pain has a physical cause, and I listen to that. But often, the brain just gets confused. It tries to protect us, even when there’s no real danger.

What story are you telling yourself?
Words can be damaging – but the right story, told to yourself, can be transformative.

It’s such a lovely moment when a client reaches their goals and you can see all the wonderful positive changes they have made. But it’s also sad saying goodbye when you’ve formed such a great rapport!

Thank you for the lovely testimonial 😊

Thank you so much to for an amazing photo shoot on Roundway Hill and the surrounding area, as well as back in my garden room in Corsham.

I was a little out of my comfort zone but Ellie put me at ease and I really enjoyed the whole experience. I definitely found it easier to smile than look serious!

I was particularly impressed with some of the adventurous stances Ellie got herself in just to get a good shot and composition. I did have to warn her not to fall backwards down the hill a few times 😆

It was quite windy and exposed right up on the top, but it was so worth it as this place is so special to me and I wanted to capture that ❤️

How you can benefit from the Batman Effect 🦇

⭐️Feeling inspired after attending a master class by .mental.fitness about visualisation last week. She was teaching us about something called the ‘Batman effect’.

⭐️This is where you create a third person character who you’re striving to become.

⭐️The idea is that you imagine your character being the way you want to be - so perhaps they may be more confident, assertive, or energetic.

⭐️And as you alignment to this character, you start to think, feel and perform more like them.

⭐️You have to talk about them in the third person, so you may ask yourself, what would ‘your character’ do in this situation?

⭐️It’s crazy but after visualising my character only once, I already felt the effects and a friend even commented on my confidence at a networking event!

⭐️It’s very closely linked with hypnotherapy as it’s all about rewiring your brain in the long term and the power of our thoughts.

⭐️Feeling excited now to readMaya’s book ‘Visualise’.

⭐️What character could you create for yourself? Kobe Bryant became the black mamba when he played basketball 🏀

⭐️ A great way to start the weekend receiving this lovely testimonial.

⭐️ I loved seeing the transformation in this client and she was such a joy to work with.

⭐️ Hypnotherapy is great for confidence building!

Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the sunshine

I love it when clients share their moments of wisdom with me. This orchid was dying, but my client cut the dying bits off and it started to regain life again.

It reminded her of how when we take a little dip one week, we don’t revert right back to the beginning of our journey. We still have all our tools available and it doesn’t take much to get us back on track.

So if you’re having a tricky day, try not to catastrophise into think you’re back to square one. Just like the orchid with a little TLC you can come back to life again 💕 🌷
