    Hypnotherapy with Nurturing Change | Gentle, Effective, Lasting Change


    Professional Hypnotherapy Using Indirect Ericksonian Techniques


    At Nurturing Change, we offer professional hypnotherapy using a gentle, indirect Ericksonian approach, combined with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).  Hypnotherapy is often described as “the glue that helps therapy stick” supporting deep, meaningful, and lasting change at an unconscious level.


    Our hypnotherapy sessions are bespoke, confidential and tailored entirely to you, supporting emotional wellbeing, behaviour change, confidence and physical symptoms influenced by stress and the subconscious mind.

    What Is Hypnotherapy?


    Hypnotherapy is a deeply relaxed, focused trance state, not sleep.  During hypnotherapy, clients are usually aware throughout the session and may speak, move, or respond naturally.  Many people believe they “haven’t been hypnotised” simply because they feel calm, present and in control.


    In reality, hypnosis is a natural state that we experience many times each day.  For example, when you:


    •  Drive somewhere and wonder if you slowed down for the speed camera

    •  Arrive at a destination without remembering the journey

    •  Watch a film and realise you’ve missed parts

    •  Re-read pages in a book as your imagination takes over


    These moments are examples of natural trance states.   Hypnotherapy simply uses this familiar mental state intentionally, to help you change habits, beliefs, emotional responses and patterns that no longer serve you.



    What Is Conversational Ericksonian Hypnotherapy?


    Unlike traditional directive hypnosis, Ericksonian hypnotherapy uses natural conversation, metaphor, gentle language patterns and subconscious communication to create change.


     *  There is no loss of control

     *  No stage-style hypnosis

     *  No forced techniques


    Instead, the work feels calm, respectful and collaborative.  Helping your mind find its own solutions in a way that feels safe and empowering.


    This approach is particularly effective for:


      •  Anxiety and overwhelm

      •  Trauma release

      •  Confidence and self-worth

      •  Phobias and fears

      •  Stress management

      •  Habit change

      •  Emotional resilience

      •  Performance enhancement


    How Hypnotherapy Works at Nurturing Change 


    Effective hypnotherapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist.  Change happens best when you feel safe, respected  and understood.


    If a client resists the process, hypnotherapy will not be effective. That’s why time is taken using NLP techniques to explore the background behind your:


    •  Beliefs

    •  Habits

    •  Values

    •  Attitudes

    •  Life circumstances


    Light trance is introduced gradually, allowing you to feel comfortable and relaxed before moving into deeper hypnotic states.  Once trust and comfort are established, we work directly with the unconscious mind, where lasting change occurs.


    Every hypnotherapy session is individually tailored, ensuring the approach is just right for you.


    Estelle’s work is grounded, ethical and trauma-aware.


    She supports clients through:


    •  Subconscious pattern change

    •  Mind-body pain release

    •  Emotional processing

    •  Leadership confidence

    •  Personal and business clarity

    •  Growth and alignment


    Clients often say sessions feel natural, insightful and deeply reassuring.  Creating change without pressure.
