Meet Hypnotherapist Dean
If you’re stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift – anxiety that keeps returning, habits you want to break, fears that limit your life, or a sense that stress is running the show – you’re not alone. Many people come to hypnotherapy feeling frustrated, worn down, or unsure whether change is really possible.
I want you to know that change is possible.
I’m an award-winning Solution-Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist, and I support adults who want practical, lasting change without having to relive the past. My work focuses on helping you feel calmer, more in control, and more confident in everyday life – even if you’ve been struggling for a long time.
My approach
I work using Solution-Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy, a modern, evidence-based approach that combines solution-focused brief therapy with clinical hypnosis. Rather than analysing problems or digging into the past, we can focus on your preferred future – how you want to feel, function and live.
Sessions are collaborative, practical, and empowering. Together, we identify what’s already working, build on your strengths, and create clear, achievable steps forward. Hypnosis is used as a gentle, deeply relaxing state – similar to daydreaming – where your mind becomes more receptive to positive change. You remain in control at all times.
This approach helps many people reduce anxiety, regain confidence, break unhelpful habits, and feel more resilient in the face of life’s challenges.
What working with me can help with
I support adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including:
- Anxiety, panic attacks and stress
- Phobias (including flying, spiders and heights)
- Smoking and vaping cessation
- Weight management
- Anger management
- Insomnia and sleep difficulties
- OCD and habit disorders
- Chronic pain and IBS
- Menopause-related difficulties
- Performance enhancement, (public speaking and sports performance)
- Oncology and cancer-related support
- Confidence and self-belief
My work is inclusive and welcoming to LGBTQ+ clients
What sessions are like
Sessions are calm, structured and supportive. We’ll begin by exploring what you would like to be different and building a clear picture of your goals. Each session includes guided relaxation and hypnosis to help reinforce the positive changes you’re working towards.
Many people find this approach helps them feel more hopeful, motivated, and able to move forward – even if they’ve tried other forms of support before.
