Qualifications & Approach
I’m Natalie - a Solution Focused Therapist and Hypnotherapist, registered with the National Council for Hypnotherapy (MNCH reg.) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC reg.). I trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), the UK’s leading provider in this field, and hold both the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) - widely recognised as the gold standard in hypnotherapy training.
I am also trained in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), sometimes known as “tapping,” which can support a wide range of emotional and physical challenges.
Alongside my hypnotherapy practice, I am a qualified and practising Occupational Therapist (BSc Hons) working across health and social care since 2013. This OT foundation deeply informs my Solution Focused Hypnotherapy - bringing a strong understanding of daily life, wellbeing, and meaningful, sustainable change.
I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Complementary Therapies, which enriches my holistic, person‑centred approach. My work is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a belief in each person’s capacity to grow, adapt and transform.
Why I Do What I Do
My path into hypnotherapy began with personal experience. During a challenging time in my own life, I tried hypnotherapy and was struck by how powerful, gentle and lasting the change was. In one trance session, I visualised a future version of myself helping others in the same way. That image stayed with me, and a few months later, I began my training at CPHT. I haven’t looked back since.
With a natural openness to new approaches and a background in Complementary Therapies, I bring warmth, clarity and deep listening to every session. I believe real change doesn’t come from dwelling on the past, but from tapping into your existing strengths, imagining what’s possible, and taking small, meaningful steps forward.
Every session is a space for growth - focused on what works, grounded in neuroscience, and guided by the belief that transformation is always within reach.
