Vicky Sutherland Hypnotherapy I am a solution focused hypnotherapist specialising in anxiety disorders, insomnia, depression, OCD, phobias, weight, confidence/self esteem and more.

I can see you over zoom or in person and I am currently charging £65 per 50 minute session. Solution focused hypnotherapy focusses on the solution rather than the problem - looking forward rather than dwelling on the past. By explaining how the brain works, having solution focused discussions and combining with guided relaxation and visualisations, together we can get the real you back and make positive, lasting changes.

One of my lovely clients gave me this beautiful bunch of freshly picked flowers today, which absolutely made my day 💐😊

It also reminded me of a useful metaphor.

If someone gives you a beautiful bunch of flowers and one of the flowers dies, what do you do? You certainly don’t throw away the whole bunch! You take out that one flower and keep enjoying the rest.

A useful reminder for when we have a bad day or a blip. We don’t need to start again from scratch, and it doesn’t undo all the good work we’ve already done.

Hopefully this idea can help someone today who may need the reminder 😊

What if the way you think about something is helping to train your brain for it? 🧠

We often think of our beliefs as facts.

But many of our beliefs started life as nothing more than a thought that we repeated… and repeated… and repeated.

Over time, that thought can become a familiar mental pathway — and eventually something we believe to be true.

“I’m not confident.”

“I always panic.”

“I’m no good at this.”

“I won’t be able to cope.”

But we can change what we repeatedly tell ourselves.

Mental rehearsal is so powerful, which is why athletes often mentally rehearse an event beforehand — imagining themselves performing and reaching the finish line.

Musicians do it too. They mentally run through pieces and performances before they happen.

The brain doesn’t know the difference between reality and imagination. So when we vividly imagine something, the brain can activate many of the same areas involved in actually doing it.

So instead of repeatedly rehearsing what you don’t want to happen, why not try rehearsing how you want to feel and respond?

Calm.
Confident.
In control.
Able to cope.

The more familiar that becomes, the less unfamiliar it can feel when the real situation arrives.

This is exactly what we do in solution-focused hypnotherapy — getting you to imagine your preferred future.

If this is something you’d like to explore, feel free to message me for a free chat about how solution-focused hypnotherapy might help.

I hope everyone has been having a lovely summer! ☀️
We’ve returned from two weeks in Slovenia — such a beautiful country!

After helping many clients over the years with their fears, encouraging people to challenge themselves and create new patterns in the brain, I decided it was time to put myself to the test too!

So I survived white-water rafting and even zip-lined across the longest zipwire in Europe! 😅

Now I’m settling back into life at home and really enjoying seeing clients again after a lovely break.

If you’re interested in hypnotherapy, I offer a free initial phone call, so please pop me a message and we can arrange a chat. 💬

⭐️It was a busy day in the garden yesterday. In between clients I watched 2 fledgling blue t**s learning to fly and the parents feeding them and encouraging them to keep trying. One took a liking to our van and one used the football net for practice!

⭐️A lovely reminder of how fascinating nature is and how we all need a little help and encouragement at times.

⭐️Also been a great exercise in keeping me mindful and present. Sometimes the best things for our mental health are free and right on our doorstep!

Have a lovely bank holiday weekend every one ☀️

As we start the New Year, it’s exciting to think about the goals we’d love to achieve.

But when there’s too much to do, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and end up doing nothing.

That’s why focusing on the first small step matters so much. In solution focused hypnotherapy, we work by breaking things down, taking things one step at a time, and noticing the small wins along the way.

Over Christmas I had a slightly random idea that I wanted to learn the violin. I didn’t have a full plan — I just sent an enquiry to a local teacher. Now I’m about to go to my first free taster session in Bath! 🎻

It’s amazing how quickly one small step can create momentum and lead onto exciting things.

If you find it hard to take action, hypnotherapy can help. When you’re in trance, your attention turns inward and parts of the brain linked to imagination and future planning become more active. This can make it easier to mentally rehearse change and take those next small steps towards your goals.

⭐️ What small step could you take today?

I’ve got a few spaces left for new clients this month. If you’d like to know more, feel free to pop me a message and we can arrange a free initial phone call. 07359 192193

Nothing like a good puzzle coupled with a bit of nostalgia! Thank you to my lovely Corsham friends for the perfect birthday gift and for knowing me so well. I’m assuming all the other children of the 90s had the fun fax?!

If you’re looking for some mindful activities to relax your nervous system and have a break from all the whirling thoughts, a puzzle is a great activity.

I’ve learned that mindfulness doesn’t have to be hours of meditation, just finding more activities throughout the day that bring you into the moment is just as good.

Onto my beginners crochet set next…😆

Hope everyone had a lovely summer ☀️

I just wanted to share these 2 testimonials to demonstrate that you may come to see me about one specific issue, but you’re likely to leave with a lot more than you bargained for!

These 2 clients came in about very specific issues - the first one for nail biting 💅 and the second for spider phobia 🕷️ But I love how they have both come away happier, more resilient and with tools to help manage their wellbeing for a more relaxed and positive future.

As always I will miss working with these lovely ladies but so nice to know they’re moving forward. ⭐️

Thank you so much to for an amazing photo shoot on Roundway Hill and the surrounding area, as well as back in my garden room in Corsham.

I was a little out of my comfort zone but Ellie put me at ease and I really enjoyed the whole experience. I definitely found it easier to smile than look serious!

I was particularly impressed with some of the adventurous stances Ellie got herself in just to get a good shot and composition. I did have to warn her not to fall backwards down the hill a few times 😆

It was quite windy and exposed right up on the top, but it was so worth it as this place is so special to me and I wanted to capture that ❤️
