Any kind of therapy is an incredibly personal thing, and more often that not the importance of choosing the right therapist for yourself is overlooked. I think this is crucially important to being able to offer my clients the kind of support and help they need and for this reason I encourage all of my clients to engage in an initial no cost consultation before they embark on any kind of treatment plan.
Initial Consultation - it begins here.
45 minutes
Free of charge
This is an opportunity for you to meet me and decide if I am the right therapist for you! Within the session, after taking some information from you about what you would like to change I will explain to you how our brains work, why they can make us feel/think/behave the way that we do and, perhaps most importantly, what we can do about it. I will explain how Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy can help you move forward and make the changes you want to make. You will also receive a complementary hypnotherapy audio to listen to and advice on what you can be doing at home to start making positive change.
This is a no obligation session. You will not be asked to make a decision there and then, however clients usually come away from the Initial Consultation feeling positive and motivated to start the therapeutic process as soon as possible!

Do you run a business or organisation where your team would benefit from an improved understanding of how they can incorporate practical ways to boost their wellbeing which, ultimately, will improve their productivity at work? Remote working can be incredibly isolating which, as we all know, can have a negative effect on our mood, motivation and mindset.
Additionally, some services have had to put themselves on the front line, they have had to cope with ever changing guidelines and legislation, all whilst coming to terms with the potential danger they are putting themselves and their families in.
I can deliver workshops focusing on building resilience, coping with change and provide practical strategies to help your team improve their wellbeing so they feel better equipped to cope with whatever challenges they may have to face.
A mental health and wellbeing group workshop for children in Year 2-6 that can be tailored to your school’s individual needs.

The programme combines solution focused talking techniques with fun, practical activities that help improve children’s understanding of their emotions and cope better with challenging situations in day to day life. Each session also includes a guided relaxation to give the children’s busy brains some well needed down time! Children are encouraged to focus on the positive aspects of their lives, identify their own strengths and recognise that they have the capacity within themselves to make positive changes that are going to be beneficial to their mental wellbeing. Parents are included in the process from the start, they are invited to attend a parents’ workshop before the programme begins so they are fully aware of what their children will be gaining from the workshops. Communication is vital for any intervention in schools so parents and teachers are kept updated with weekly emails outlining what activities they children have taken part in and can continue at home and/or in the classroom. Progress is recorded using outcome measuring software and reported to the school following the six week programme. This information can be used to assess impact and help identify any children who may require additional support.

‘Lydia has been working with my 6-year-old daughter for just 4 weeks. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds with her anxiety. We couldn’t be more pleased! Lydia is amazing with children and really relates to my daughter on her level. I would highly recommend Lydia to anyone, her therapy is quite honestly life changing!”
“I could not recommend Lydia enough! I have had a huge phobia of wasps for many years to the point I would stay in my house some days in the Summer from fear. I now feel comfortable enough to be around them without freaking out and making a fool of myself! Thank you so much Lydia!”
“My daughter has been to see Lydia for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for anxiety. She has come on leaps and bounds and has regained positivity and confidence. I can’t recommend this therapy enough and of course Lydia, who is exceptional working with children.”
