Helping you find the tools to enjoy life in full colour.
I get it - because I've been there too
I know what it feels like to let my own thinking get the better of me. To be in a constant state of fight or flight. To dread things before they'd even happened. To talk myself out of things I actually wanted to do. To feel like I was running on empty...
Learning how to take control of my mindset genuinely changed things for me. And now I help others do the same, by focusing on where you want to get to and taking small, manageable steps to get there.
With 19 years' experience as a secondary teacher and a background in fitness instructing, I understand how to support people in a way that feels encouraging and achievable, never overwhelming. And as a mum of two, I know how much life can throw at you!
How I can help...
Two powerful evidence based approaches...
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Rather than raking over the past, we focus on your desired future. Using solution focused techniques and the safe, natural process of hypnosis, we help your brain do what it's actually designed to do - solve problems, build resilience and find your own way forward. It's structure, well-researched and grounded in the latest neuroscience.
The hypnosis part? Think of it as a deeply relaxed, focused state, like that lovely drifting feeling just before you fall asleep. Nothing scary. Nothing you're not in full control of. Just space for your mind to do its best work.
What is EFT?
EFT - often called tapping - is a gentle mind-body method that combines modern psychology with traditional Chinese medicine. By tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on a troubling thought or feeling, EFT helps calm your nervous system, release built-up tension and shift patterns that have been keeping you stuck.
It's evidence-based, it can be used for all the same challenges as hypnotherapy and many people find it incredibly freeing. I also offer parent and child sessions so your child doesn't have to navigate things alone.
You don't have to keep managing it alone...
Hypnotherapy and EFT can help with a wide range of challenges: emotional, physical and behavioural. Here are some of the areas I work with most often:
​
Anxiety and stress
Low mood and depresson
Confidence and self-esteem
Phobias
Smoking and vaping cessation
Disordered eating
Perfirmance anxiety
Sleep problems
Grief and loss
Children and young people (10+)
Overwhelm and burnout
Unwanted habits...
Working together: What to expect when you reach out.
I started to visit Lisa at Full Colour Hypnotherapy to find some relief from chronic anxiety and depression. Lisa explained the process thoroughly and every session has given me much needed respite and left me feeling calm and rested!

It's been such an enriching experience and has truly changed my life. An unfortunate major event happened during my sessions and I honestly do not think I would be where I am now without changing my mindset through hypnotherapy. I have so much more self awareness and understanding.

Lisa gave me the tools to look at everything in a more positive light, meaning that I was calmer, more in control, choosing healthier habits and stepping away from my fight or flight responses.
