What is PERMA Pathways?
PERMA Pathways is the upgraded version of my long-running Hypnotherapy for Wellbeing programme. It combines Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, Positive Psychology and a clear brain-based model of change. It offers a structured 10-session pathway from 'I'm Surviving' to 'I'm living a more fulfilling, sustainable life that genuinely feels like my own'
PERMA Pathways is a 10-session, one-to-one programme for thoughtful adults who are tired of constantly managing their symptoms and want a structured, evidence-informed way to build lasting wellbeing
During trance you remain in control and aware of your surroundings. Most people experience it as a deeply absorbed, focused state — similar to being caught up in a good book — rather than “going under” or losing control
Unlike open-ended counselling, PERMA Pathways has a defined structure, clear themes for each session and a strong emphasis on what you do between sessions. It’s not just talking about the problem; it’s about understanding what’s happening in your brain and behaviour — and then deliberately changing how you respond
Across the programme, we will
Use a clear brain model (grounded in neuroscience and effective in practice) to help you learn how your brain, mind and body interact with each other
Explore how those patterns shape your behaviour, and how your behaviour in turn interacts with your environment — the people around you and the situations you face
Apply the PERMA model of flourishing (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment) so we’re not just reducing distress — we’re actively building a more fulfilling and sustainable life
Combine this with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, using trance as a practical tool to help you experience calmer, clearer and more resourceful states of mind
PERMA Pathways is designed to support you with improving five key areas of wellbeing with approaches backed by positive psychology research
Positive Emotion — feeling calmer and more hopeful: Less time caught in anxious loops or worst-case scenarios. More moments of ease, appreciation and genuine enjoyment in daily life
Engagement — being present, not trapped in your head: A quieter, more focused mind so you can concentrate at work, enjoy hobbies again and stop losing hours to scrolling or overthinking
Relationships — feeling more connected and understood: As your stress level drops, it becomes easier to communicate clearly, set boundaries and be present with the people who matter
Meaning — reconnecting with what matters to you: Space to step back, reflect and realign your life with your values, so you’re not just getting through the week on autopilot
Accomplishment — making and keeping realistic progress: Setting achievable goals, tracking progress and building confidence from seeing yourself follow through, week by week
PERMA Pathways is not about becoming a different person. It’s about helping your brain work with you, so you can live more of the life you’ve been aiming for
PERMA Pathways is designed for you if
You're tired of endlessly analysing the problem and want a clear framework and a practical way forward
You want an approach that builds your sense of agency, grounded in knowledge of the brain, behaviour, and flourishing
You’re intelligent and high-functioning on the surface but anxiety, or low mood, or anger have been quietly eroding your quality of life
You’re committed to put in around 6–8 hours of focused work between sessions — reading, reflecting, experimenting — rather than hoping for a magic wand
It is not designed for people in immediate crisis or those needing intensive psychiatric or medical support; in those situations, appropriate medical / mental health services are the right first step
If you’re currently taking medication or working with another professional, we can discuss how PERMA Pathways might sit alongside that and, if needed, I may ask you to check in with them before we start
How The Programme Works
Ten × 60–75 minute sessions, delivered online. Ten sessions over 3-4 months is long enough to do serious work while still being a clearly defined, time-limited commitment
A typical session includes a brief check-in, reviewing what you noticed or tried since we last spoke, introducing or revisiting a key idea or model, a period of trance/hypnosis, and then agreeing specific, realistic steps for you to take before the next session
Session 1: Orientation and foundations
Sessions 2-4: Calm the system, build hope
Sessions 5-7: Build knowledge, strengthen resources
Sessions 8-9: Consolidating, planning, future proofing
Session 10: Review and next steps
You’ll also receive structured written material and worksheets to guide your thinking between sessions and help you apply the ideas to your real life
Additionally, you will receive a curated suite of hypnosis downloads, produced to match the programme, so you can reinforce the work between sessions and support your wellbeing over the long term
PERMA Pathways runs over 10 structured sessions. Each one builds on the last, so you’re making steady, manageable progress
