You may be coping...
but not feeling okay
Not everyone who is struggling looks like they are. On the surface, life might look fine. But underneath, things can feel very different.
You might recognise:
Overthinking that will not switch off
Poor sleep or feeling tired all the time
Feeling tense, anxious or on edge
Struggling to relax or switch off
Low confidence or not feeling like yourself
You may still be working, studying, caring for others and keeping up with responsibilities. But if your mind and body feel constantly switched on, it may be a sign that stress has been building for too long. Sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is notice the signs sooner - and give ourselves permission to get support.
It is not just stress — it is the pattern stress can create
When your brain and body have been in stress mode for too long, they can start to repeat familiar patterns.
You may overthink, avoid decisions, react more quickly, struggle to rest, expect the worst, or feel as though your body is always braced for something.
This is not because you are weak or broken. It is your brain trying to protect you.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you understand these patterns and begin practising calmer, more helpful responses.
The aim is to help everyday life start to feel more manageable and enjoyable again.
Stress pattern
Overthinking, tension, poor sleep, reactivity or avoidance.
Understanding
Making sense of how your brain and body respond to stress.
New response
Calmer thinking, better sleep, more confidence and steadier reactions.
How I can help
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you understand why stress can become a pattern — and how your brain and body can begin to respond differently.
Through calm, solution-focused conversation and guided relaxation, we focus on what is already working, what you want more of, and the small steps that can help everyday life feel more manageable.
Stress and anxiety
For people who feel overwhelmed, tense, on edge, panicky, emotionally reactive or unable to relax.
Sleep and overthinking
For busy minds that struggle to switch off, especially at night.
Confidence and feeling like yourself again
For people who have lost confidence, motivation, calmness or trust in themselves.
What happens when we work together?
Free
Intro Call
A relaxed 15-minute call to ask questions and see whether working together feels right.
Understand what has been happening
In the initial consultation, we make sense of what has been difficult, how stress has been affecting you, and how you would like life to feel instead.
I will also explain how our brain responds to stress, anxiety and overwhelm, so the way you have been feeling can start to make more sense.
Build calmer responses
Weekly sessions are calm, structured and focused on your positives, your progress and the future you want to move towards.
We notice what is improving, explore what you would like more of, and use guided relaxation to help your mind practise calmer, more helpful patterns.
Focused on the future, not the past
No need to revisit painful experiences in detail
Practical steps towards feeling calmer
Calm, supportive and focused on you
Meet Richard
I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist with a Solution Focused approach, working with teens and adults in Chippenham, Corsham and online.
I first discovered hypnotherapy as a sceptical client during a difficult time in my own life. That experience helped me understand how important it is for therapy to feel safe, practical and grounded.
This shapes the way I work today: calm, down-to-earth, professional, friendly and focused on helping you make sense of what is happening, so change can start to feel possible.
