A little about me

A Little About Me

Today, PERMA Hypnotherapy helps adults around the world to achieve and sustain their wellbeing with evidence based Solution Focused and Positive Psychology processes. I work with a low volume of clients, allowing for a high degree of customisation and no-rush sessions. I seamlessly blend standard Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) with Positive Psychology to support you developing a deep level of self-awareness. I can offer both open-ended general therapy and highly customisable, fixed-cost programs. As we work together, the focus will be on you developing the knowledge, skills and practices to sustain your long term wellbeing.

Creating PERMA Hypnotherapy, was a long time in the making. My interest in hypnosis and trance for relaxation and personal development, dates back to the early 1990’s. From around then, becoming a hypnotherapist was a clear option for later in my career. Fast forward 15 years and I discovered the vast field of Positive Psychology via my Masters’ Degree. Fast forward another decade or so and the scene was eventually set: my 30+ years career in the chemical industry ended, I had an income, and I had the time to build my new portfolio career.

The decision to train in Solution Focused hypnotherapy with the renowned Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training was easy to make: SFH integrates so seamlessly with Positive Psychology and Clifton were so far ahead of the rest with their training. Since gaining accreditation in 2021, I have continued exploring, with an emphasis on post trauma growth following developmental trauma: the models of post-trauma growth and the PERMA model overlap to a large extent.

What it’s like to work with me

What to Expect: My approach has two key pillars. Firstly, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. This combines all the benefits of Solution Focused Brief Therapy with the transformative capabilities offered by using trance therapeutically. And secondly, Positive Psychology: supporting us in developing sustainable mindsets and practices to live our best lives.

Because each client is unique, I adapt how I work to best meet each situation. Within this, all clients can expect a set of common standards:

  • A no obligation, initial discovery call to establish your needs and expectations. I only accept clients when I can offer them great value.
  • A constructive, good-humoured, and professional working alliance to support you in achieving your chosen future.
  • Relaxed sessions. I work with low client volumes and never book clients back-to-back so, it’s OK if sessions over-run. This leaves plenty of time for you to get the best value from each session.
  • As and where appropriate, I will send you additional follow-up notes and exercises to compliment the work we do in our sessions together. The full compliment of content supporting PERMA Hypnotherapy’s fixed length programs extends to over 80 thousand words.
  • You will receive a set of hypnosis downloads which are yours to benefit from whenever you choose.
  • I support all my clients in developing their abilities with self-hypnosis to help with sustaining their wellbeing for the long term.
  • I maintain the requirements of registration with the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. My membership profile can be found here.

When not actively engaged with clients, I’m busy creating new and better content. Some of this is available on the website and Social Media so do take a good look round. The rest is reserved for clients. When I need a break, I’ll often be exploring the cycle routes in and around Edinburgh. It’s OK – I keep the Lycra well covered!
