Complementary therapy works alongside conventional healthcare to rebalance your physical and mental wellbeing. Hypnotherapy is one such way to help you re-engage with your natural rhythm, exploring the source of an issue before reframing the thought patterns behind it.
Covid Update
Hypnotherapy is essentially a talking therapy, so can be successfully practised online, for instance in treating stress, or as a way to experience deeper states of meditation. A free initial consultation is the precursor to your first therapy appointment, so if you have any questions or concerns about how an online session is run, I will be happy to discuss these with you beforehand.
Since lockdown has ended, in-person appointments are also available locally in Castle Douglas and Dalbeattie, UK.
Wishing you good health and calmness ahead.

Why Hypnosis?
If you are suffering from anxiety or have a phobia or challenging problem keeping you awake at night, hypnotherapy can be a very interesting, enjoyable and powerful way to release you from the negative thought patterns at the source of the issue. Hypnosis is effective at breaking down these patterns because it works with your unconscious to reach the underlying causes, which are often buried too deeply to analyse and understand. Hypnosis is a safe way to explore and restructure the way you think, working with metaphor and suggestion to embed positive change in the mind. By simply relaxing and observing your thoughts, you will be guided towards clarity and resolution, so that you can finally get on with your life.
Also providing wellness coaching and guided meditations, including group sessions and workshops.

“Frances was referred to me by a friend and she was absolutely the right person for me to meet. She understood a frustration that I have been procrastinating about for years and through her gentle but firm techniques brought me back to reality and to admit to myself what I was really wanting and needing to do. She has helped me overcome a huge hurdle that I was finding I couldn’t jump myself and now I know I can. I am excited!! Thank you Frances.” 19/05/22
“A journey I’d recommend to anyone”
“I began hypnosis with Frances with little idea what would be involved, but with a strong desire to get help with my long-term insomnia. Since then, I’ve also turned to Frances for help with weight loss, sticking to a plant-based diet and ways to move forward from a very difficult personal situation. With all these aspects, hypnosis, and the counselling that goes alongside it, have been hugely helpful to me, and made a striking difference to my life. I have achieved my goals of significant weight loss through a plant-based, wholefood diet and a daily yoga routine, and my sleep is much improved. But most significantly, I am so much happier, stronger, more resilient, positive and ready for future challenges. I never thought all this could be achieved through hypnosis, so I’ve been so pleasantly surprised. Frances is a wonderful therapist, who goes to great lengths to come up with solutions suited to the individual. She takes so much time, gives so much thought, to everything she does, and she has a wonderful way with the hypnosis itself – a true gift. I’ve felt supported at every step, with patience, kindness, gentleness. I have become a huge advocate for hypnosis to help with any issue we’re facing, and indeed, my children have also benefited from sessions to help with their sleep and phobias. This is a journey I’d recommend to anyone from the bottom of my heart.” 23/08/21
