My approach is calm, practical and tailored to you

Clinical and Holistic Hypnotherapy

Quiet the conscious mind and reach the deeper subconscious, where beliefs, patterns, and emotions are held.

Releases emotional charge from past experiences by working directly with the body’s energy system. Gentle and calming.

Anchor yourself in the present moment using breath and body awareness, feeling calm and grounded.

Timeline Therapy

Revisit past experiences safely to release emotional blocks, creating freedom, clarity, and possibility.

Parts Therapy

Resolve inner conflict by working with different parts of yourself, moving toward inner harmony.

Breathwork

Conscious breathing techniques that calm the nervous system and create a profound sense of peace.

Counselling & Psychotherapy Skills

A safe, supportive space to talk through what you are experiencing, listened to without judgement.

Hypnosis isn’t about switching off or being ‘under’ — it’s the gentle opposite

You’re always gently aware and completely safe, simply guided into a deeply relaxed state where your mind becomes more open to positive change. In fact, it’s something you already experience every day — like when you’re daydreaming or completely absorbed in something. I simply, softly guide you there.

A space where you always feel safe

I work in a trauma-informed way. I have supported clients through trauma, and I also bring personal understanding from experiences close to me. I know how important it is to feel safe, heard and not judged.

You are always safe and at ease
We go at your pace
Nothing is forced or rushed
Your safety and comfort come first

“You don’t have to have it all figured out, just reaching out is enough”

What to Expect

Each session is tailored to you and guided at your pace.

We begin by understanding what you’re experiencing, mentally, emotionally and physically, and what you’d like to change. From there, I gently guide you into a relaxed state where deeper, more meaningful work can begin. Sessions are calm, supportive and collaborative. Some people notice shifts quickly, while for others it unfolds more gradually. Both are completely natural.

Complimentary Call

Up to 20 minutes

A relaxed 20-minute call to ask questions and see if working together feels right.

First Session

Up to 90 minutes

A gentle consultation to explore what’s brought you here and begin with a short relaxation.

Kind words from clients

I will start this by saying Lorraine has changed my life!! That is really no exaggeration. I suffered with very severe postnatal depression which led to years of health anxiety related to my daughter. As I got older the health anxiety then crept into my own world where I became obsessed with the idea that myself or my daughter were going to suffer some terrible illness. I went to Lorraine in desperate need of some help to relieve the stress, pressure and pain this condition was chasing as it was ruling my every day life. Through hypnotherapy and NLP Lorraine has reprogrammed my thinking and I no longer suffer the symptoms of health anxiety. The thoughts crop up, because she can’t wipe my brain, but I no longer dwell on them, they no longer upset or distress me, and they no longer impact how I live, feel or sleep. It’s truly magical. I am so grateful and have actually recommended two of my family members to see her, one of whom is now already engaging in her care and seeing huge benefits! Thank you Lorraine, you are so wonderful at what you do and I will be forever grateful 🙏🏻 💗

I went to Lorraine with a fear of flying. She skilfully designed a series of sessions which included hypnotherapy and NLP. Every session was not only deeply relaxing and empowering, but also gave me practical tools to take away and practise. Each session built on the last and the final session pulled everything together. During the flight I was able to take control of my nerves an emotions, such an amazing feeling. I would definitely recommend Lorraine, she has taught me skills for life 🤩

Seeing Lorraine has been transformational and profound for me, I would highly recommend to others, go with an open mind. She is warm, kind and easy to open up to. I’m on a necessary journey that wouldn’t be possible without Lorraine.

I went to Lorraine for issues with IBS; nothing I had tried previously had had a long term effect. I was very sceptical. I found Lorraine to be a very warm and understanding person, she asked questions in a careful and supportive way. She explained the benefits of deep breathing and hypnotherapy and I have now had 3 hypnotherapy sessions. I feel so relaxed and energised after these sessions and to date have not had an IBS issue for 3 months - RESULT! Would fully recommend Lorraine.

I was initially a bit cynical about trying hypnotherapy however due to the long waiting lists on the NHS for treatment I decided to try it. I went to Lorraine with anxiety issues and a fear of vomiting and eating certain foods. From the moment I met with Lorraine she made me feel at ease, I felt listened to and hopeful that my problems could be solved. At the end of my 6 sessions I have learnt a lot about myself , Lorraine has given me lots of information and techniques to take away with me. I am now getting back to my normal self , enjoying socialising again and eating food! I feel so much more relaxed and haven’t had any anxiety issues. I would definitely recommend Lorraine and I am so thankful for all she has done x

Lorraine is a very caring and extremely competent hypnotherapist. I have always found her to be professional and she always treats her clients with the utmost respect. She is very knowledgeable and approaches even the most sensitive issues with thoughtfulness and kindness. Lorraine goes above and beyond to help you find a solution. I would definitely recommend her.
