Birkdale Hypnotherapy

Birkdale Hypnotherapy Catherine Eland, Clinical Hypnotherapist. SFTA Founder Hypnosis is a powerful technique for affecting change. My clinics are based in Southport and online.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines the latest methods of Solution Focused Brief Therapy with Clinical Hypnotherapy to create a powerful modern technique that enables positive change quickly and effectively. Through focusing on the present and moving forward positively we can achieve major changes and improvements through gaining control of our thoughts, our feelings and our behaviour. Through deep relaxation and trance we bring both the conscious mind and sub-conscious mind into balance and focus them on how you want things to be. Working this way can help in the treatment of depression, anxiety and specific phobias such as fear of flying and driving. It also helps increase confidence and can be a very effective tool for performance enhancement.

Your brain genuinely loves a fresh start.

Not because the calendar changes
But because your brain is wired for possibility.

When we pause and imagine something new, the brain shifts out of survival mode and into a more flexible, creative state. This is where learning, hope, and change live.

At SFTA Hypnotherapy Training, we work with this natural ability of the brain. We help clients move their attention away from what feels stuck and towards what they want instead.

That small shift activates new neural pathways.
It reduces threat.
It increases motivation.

Change does not require reliving the past.
It starts with imagining a different future.

January is not about pressure or resolutions.
It is about gently reminding the brain that change is possible.

And that is where everything begins.

If you are curious about how the brain creates change through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, follow along this month as we explore the science behind change and hypnosis.

Our next course in-person starts in March/ April - call us and find out more 0345 257 0056

What does a day look like as a Clinical Hypnotherapist?

One of the most exciting parts of this career is the variety.

In a single day, you might support:

A client managing OCD patterns and intrusive thoughts
An athlete wanting to improve focus and sports performance
Someone struggling with anxiety who simply wants to feel calm again
A professional building confidence before presentations
A child learning to manage worries or sleep better
A client working towards healthier habits and weight management

No two days are the same.

You are helping people understand how their brain works and move towards the future they want. The work is structured, professional and extremely rewarding.

And yes, it can also provide a high income.

As a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, you set your own fees. Many practitioners work flexible hours, build private practices, and combine online and in-person sessions.

You have the freedom to design a career that fits your life.

Varied work. Meaningful impact. Professional independence. Strong earning potential.

If you have ever imagined doing work that truly makes a difference while also building a sustainable income, hypnotherapy could be your next step.

In an attempt to record some technique videos…

Cathy forgets her lines.

Sarah can’t stop laughing.

It doesn’t always go perfectly at SFTA Hypnotherapy Training, and that’s real life (well that seems to be our life).

Behind the scenes of training, learning, and having a sense of humour along the way.

Because therapy skills are learned by real humans, not robots 💙

Ever wondered what our graduates think of our in person SFTA Hypnotherapy Training course?

We hear so many heartfelt reflections. Graduates often tell us how refreshing it feels to learn in a supportive space where the neuroscience makes sense and the techniques click quickly. They describe a real shift in confidence as they practise each skill and begin to see themselves growing into capable, compassionate therapists.

A lot of them mention how much they value the in person weekends. They enjoy the connection, the encouragement and the chance to learn alongside others who share the same passion for helping people create change.

Hearing how the course has shaped their journey is always inspiring for us. Their feedback helps future students see what is truly possible.

Our next in person training programmes begin in 2026. If you are thinking about taking that step, visit www.sfta.co.uk
or give us a call on 0345 257 0056. We are here to help you get started.

⭐ MEET CATHY ⭐

This is Cathy, the founder of SFTA Hypnotherapy Training.

We thought it was about time you met the person behind the course. So, we asked her 28 quick-fire questions — some serious, some silly — to give you a better sense of who she is.

Cathy was more than happy to take part (though she did regret the terrible golf shot) because at the heart of it all, she simply wants people to have the best possible training and to enjoy the journey.

Her next courses start in April - not too late to apply.
