PERMA Pathways - Launching January 2026
A structured, brain-based programme, grounded in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Positive Psychology, to help you move from just coping to lasting wellbeing.
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 to offer a structured 10-session pathway from ‘I’m surviving’ to ‘I’m living a more fulfilling, sustainable life that genuinely feels like my own.’
What is PERMA Pathways?
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.
Across the programme, we
- 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.
- 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 actually 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.
Who Is PERMA Pathways for?
PERMA Pathways is designed for you if
- You’re intelligent and high-functioning on the surface, but anxiety, low mood or anger are quietly eroding your quality of life.
- You’re tired of endlessly analysing the problem and want a clear framework and a practical way forward.
- You’re willing to put in around 6–8 hours of focused work between sessions – reading, reflecting, experimenting – rather than hoping for a magic wand.
- That 6–8 hours is an average over the programme – some weeks will be lighter, some a bit heavier – and we’ll adapt the workload to your reality so it remains challenging but manageable.
- You want an approach that builds your sense of agency: grounded in what we know about the brain, behaviour, and flourishing.
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 PERMA Pathways Works
There are ten 60–75 minute sessions, delivered online. Ten sessions is long enough to do serious work – to understand, practise and embed new patterns – while still being a clearly defined, time-limited commitment.
Typically over 12–18 weeks, with flexibility in pacing depending on your workload and life circumstances.
Each session builds on the last, integrating
- Psychoeducation about the brain and nervous system
- The PERMA model, your signature strengths, and your personal values
- Therapeutic trance / hypnosis
- Concrete actions between sessions
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.
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.
It’s a commitment of time and focused attention – designed for people who are serious about changing how they manage their lives, rather than just getting through the next crisis.
Over time, people typically report feeling more in control, calmer under pressure, more able to respond instead of just react, and clearer about what a fulfilling, sustainable life looks like for them – and how to keep moving towards it.
