Hey there, I’m Helen Donnison, a registered clinical hypnotherapist, medical herbalist and life coach.
I’ve been working in the health and wellness industry since 2001, and set up my first clinic as a medical herbalist in 2003. I have been integrating hypnotherapy and life coaching into my practice since 2005.
Having qualifications in both health science (Masters degree in Biological Science and a Diploma in Herbal Medicine) and modern applied psychology (Diploma in Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy and certificates in life coaching and CBT) has helped me to understand more about the mind and the mind-body connection.
I originally trained in hypnotherapy in 2005 with Brandon Bays, completing The Journey practitioner programme. This was revisited in 2019, which was a year of intensive training in life coaching, hypnotherapy (including RTT), and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I found by weaving these modalities together, I was able to really help my clients to grow in confidence and allow their ‘authentic self’ to shine through.What I love about hypnotherapy is that I don’t need to have all the answers for you. My job is to help you find them for yourself, which is insightful and empowering.
Because of the challenges I’ve been through in my life – childhood trauma, health challenges, challenging relationships, divorce, single parenting, business and financial stresses – I have empathy and compassion to be able to help you navigate through your challenges in a non-judgmental way. I know how hard life is sometimes, and I’m grateful for the help I’ve had along the way.
My passion is about helping people feel well mentally and emotionally. A combination of hypnotherapy and herbal medicine can help to balance the nervous system to keep you calm and in control as you make changes in your life.
If you’re struggling with:
- Fears, doubts and insecurities about your future
- Feeling stressed or anxious about your current situation
- Depression, guilt, anger or any other emotional state that’s affecting your life
- A lack of confidence or courage to live your life they way you want to
- Feeling powerless or like you have no control over your life
- Stress – family, relationships, business or work, financial, health
- Using food, alcohol or other substance to help you cope
- Relationship and interpersonal issues such as bullying or abuse that are impacting on your business or family life
- Physical health issues or weight problems caused by putting yourself and your needs last
- Being the kind of leader or parent you aspire to being
I can help!
One of my strengths is being able to build good rapport with my clients, so that they feel that they’re in a safe and comfortable place to open up to me. I understand that it’s not always easy to talk about what’s really going on in your life, but together we can unpack it and work step by step to help you create a brighter future.
Everyone is on a different journey. Whether you’re struggling to find your place in the world or want to stop your past from affecting your future, I can help you to stand tall and shine brightly.
Helen
