Hypnotherapy in Manchester & Altrincham
At Great Minds Clinic, I offer professional, compassionate support using solution focused hypnotherapy and psychotherapy — whether you choose in‑person sessions in Altrincham, or prefer online therapy from the comfort of your home.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines psychotherapy and hypnosis. Psychotherapy on it’s own is highly beneficial and its effects are enhanced by the application of hypnosis, which enables the subconscious mind to make positive changes.
This combined approach — solution focused hypnotherapy plus therapeutic counselling — offers a gentle yet powerful way to address stress, anxiety, habits and emotional blocks, helping your mind shift naturally towards calm, clarity and healthier habit patterns.
What Can I Expect?
Many people think hypnotherapy is something “done” to them—that you explain your issue to the therapist, who then magically hypnotises it away.
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. Change happens because you want it to and are willing to take the steps necessary to allow it to happen.
- Initial Consultation: Designed to assess your goals, complete your assessment, explain how hypnotherapy can help, and start your plan.
- Subsequent Sessions: Involve much more than hypnosis. We’ll discuss your progress, focus on positive expression, and work on solutions rather than problems.
- Preferred Future: You’ll imagine a future with a more useful perspective on your life. Then, guided hypnosis consolidates what we have discussed.
You also have the option to receive a guided relaxation MP3 for use between sessions — an excellent way to continue benefiting from hypnosis and reinforce positive changes in your daily life.
Sessions are available in Altrincham or online — whichever suits you best.
What is Hypnosis like?
We all experience hypnotic states in daily life:
- Driving home without remembering the journey
- Being engrossed in a book and losing track of time
During hypnosis, you are guided into a similar state, making your subconscious mind more receptive to beneficial suggestions.
Hypnosis is: A state of focused attention where your mind is more responsive to suggestions designed to change unhelpful thought patterns. Clients often describe it as “ordinary” or like guided daydreaming—you can still hear everything being said while deeply relaxed.
Hypnosis is not: Contrary to media portrayals, hypnosis does not involve the therapist taking control. You cannot be hypnotised against your will, nor can anyone make you do anything you do not want to. Your subconscious will reject inappropriate suggestions.
At Great Minds Clinic, confidentiality, respect and client safety are always prioritised. Hypnosis and psychotherapy sessions are conducted professionally, ethically, and sensitively — whether in-person in Altrincham, or via secure online video.
