Clinical Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist
&
Trauma Specialist in Leeds
Hi, I’m Janet.
With over 20 years of experience in psychological therapy and mental health services, I am passionate about helping people overcome anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, stress, unwanted habits and life challenges so they can feel calmer, happier and more in control of their lives.
Whether you’re looking for online hypnotherapy, solution focused hypnotherapy, trauma-informed therapy, or support for anxiety, I offer personalised therapy designed around your individual needs. My practice is based in Morley, Leeds, and I currently provide online sessions across the UK, as well as home visits where appropriate.
Helping You Understand Why You Feel the Way You Do
Many of the people I work with feel like they’re constantly on an emotional rollercoaster. They often experience overwhelming emotions without fully understanding why, struggle to manage their feelings, or find themselves repeating patterns that leave them feeling exhausted and stuck.
You may recognise some of these experiences:
- Anxiety or panic attacks
- Emotional overwhelm
- Low mood or depression
- Trauma or childhood trauma
- Difficulty regulating emotions
- Relationship problems
- Fear of abandonment
- People-pleasing
- Addictions or unhealthy coping behaviours
- Self-harm
- Dissociation or “zoning out”
- Chronic stress or burnout
- Feeling disconnected from yourself
- Difficulty living in the present
- Low confidence or low self-worth
These difficulties can affect every area of life, making it hard to plan ahead, maintain healthy relationships, enjoy work, or simply feel at peace.
Having spent many years working within specialist trauma services, I understand how these patterns develop—and more importantly, how they can change. My aim is to help you feel safe, understood and empowered while supporting you to build lasting emotional resilience and create meaningful change.
My Approach
I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” therapy.
Every client is unique, which is why I combine evidence-based psychological therapies with modern hypnotherapy to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
My qualifications include:
- Clinical Hypnotherapy
- Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
- Psychotherapy
- Schema Therapy
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills
- Parts Therapy
- Past Life Regression Therapy
- Integrated Energy Therapy (IET)
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
- Aromatherapy
- Reiki Master
With my background in NHS psychological services and specialist trauma work, I blend traditional psychological knowledge (such as anxiety management techniques, CBT techniques, brief solution focussed work, goal setting, emotion regulation skills) with modern, science-informed hypnotherapy to help you achieve change more efficiently than many people expect.
I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS certificate, so you can feel confident that you’re working with an experienced and trusted professional.
Why I Chose Hypnotherapy
I’ve always had a passion for holistic wellbeing and spent many years studying complementary therapies alongside my career in mainstream mental health services.
Following a difficult personal experience, I discovered the transformative power of modern clinical hypnotherapy for myself. Combining neuroscience, psychology and focused hypnosis allowed me to move forward far more quickly than I expected.
That experience inspired me to train as a Clinical and Solution Focused Hypnotherapist so I could help others experience the same lasting positive change.
I haven’t looked back since.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help
Modern life places enormous pressure on our minds and bodies.
Stress, anxiety and unresolved emotional experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected and stuck in patterns that no longer serve us.
Hypnotherapy can help with:
- Anxiety management
- Stress management
- Depression and low mood
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Sleep problems and insomnia
- Weight management and body confidence
- Emotional eating
- Smoking/vaping cessation
- Phobias and fears
- Trauma recovery
- Emotional regulation
- Panic attacks
- Relationship difficulties
- Motivation
- Performance anxiety
- Habit change
- Relaxation and general wellbeing
By working with both the conscious and subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps reduce the mental “noise” that often keeps people trapped in cycles of worry, fear and self-doubt.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines modern neuroscience, positive psychology and hypnosis to help you move towards the future you want rather than staying focused on the past.
Instead of repeatedly revisiting painful memories, we work together to strengthen your resilience, improve emotional wellbeing and create practical, achievable goals that lead you to achieve the changes you want.
Many clients notice improvements in just a few sessions.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
For clients who have experienced trauma, childhood adversity or long-standing emotional difficulties, I also integrate Schema Therapy, Parts Therapy and trauma-informed approaches where appropriate.
This allows us to gently explore deeper patterns without sessions becoming overwhelming or emotionally exhausting.
By combining psychological therapy with hypnosis, many clients find they can make profound changes while feeling calmer and less triggered throughout the process.
What to Expect
If you’re unsure which therapy is right for you, that’s completely normal.
Our first appointment is an in-depth consultation where we’ll explore what’s been happening, identify your goals, and decide together on the most effective treatment plan.
Many people come to me unsure which therapy they need—and that’s absolutely fine. It’s my job to understand your situation and recommend the approach most likely to help you achieve lasting results in the shortest realistic timeframe.
