IS WORK MAKING YOU FEEL OVERWHELMED AND ANXIOUS?

It’s all too easy to explain away extreme exhaustion and lack of headspace with “it’s just a busy period” and carry on. But ignoring these warning signs means missing crucial mental health cues.

As a business owner, leader, or solopreneur, your daily challenges take a toll—and it’s perfectly okay to acknowledge this… four out of five business owners feel the same as you*.

Solution focused hypnotherapy helps you:

  • Reduce stress and overwhelm

  • Make clearer decisions

  • Overcome procrastination and impostor syndrome

  • Build resilience and confidence

  • Improve sleep quality

are you ready to focus on the solution... WITH SOLUTION FOCUSED THERAPY

What is solution focused therapy?

What is solution focused therapy?

Using a blend of the latest neuroscience and psychotherapeutic techniques, solution focused therapy is about learning how your brain works.
Instead of dwelling in the past or reliving traumatic events, this form of therapy helps to rewire your brain. You will learn how to work WITH your brain to reconnect with your former self … or become the person you want to be.
You’ll discover how to take control of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, reinforced with relaxing, meditative language patterns that access both the conscious and subconscious mind to embed and create long-lasting change.

What can i help you with?

I work with clients who struggle with or want to improve the following:

  • Anxiety (Disorders)
  • Confidence
  • Public Speaking
  • Performance
  • Stress – (work-related or not)
  • Procrastination
  • Depression
  • Anger Management
  • Panic Attacks
  • Sleep
  • Sports Performance

Solution Focused Therapy can be really effective with those who want help with: 

  • Long-lasting Lifestyle Changes: To Aid Weight Management

  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

  • Stopping Smoking

  • Stopping Vaping

  • Phobias

  • Chronic Pain

Am I A HYPNOTIST?

No, I qualified as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, which is very different from stage hypnosis. I use evidence-based therapy combined with guided relaxation techniques. During this part of the session, you’ll be in a relaxed, calm and focused state – similar to when you’re absorbed in a good book or driving a familiar route. You remain fully aware and in control while we work together to create positive mental templates for your future.

My approach integrates:

  • Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) principles
  • Contemporary neuroscience understanding
  • Clinical hypnotherapy techniques
  • Evidence-based therapeutic practices

I am registered with the National Council of Hypnotherapists and the Association for Solution-Focused Hypnotherapists, adhering to strict codes of conduct and professional ethics.

In addition, I am fully insured with Holistic Services Insurance and Enhanced DBS checked.

*SFH is clinically proven to be successful in the majority of situations.

Are you a business owner or leader?

Solution Focus Therapy is so effective, even when you cannot put your finger on why you’re not functioning as you were.

Think of it like defragging your mental hard drive when you feel like you’re running too
many programs at once … it’s like clearing your mental cache.

It’s amazingly effective for business owners and leaders who, as you know, must manage multiple pressures daily. I can help with:

  •  Reducing stress and overwhelm

  •  Making clearer decisions

  •  Overcoming procrastination

  •  Sleeping better

  •  Building resilience and confidence

  •  Improving focus

All sessions are held in the strictest confidence, adhering to legal requirements, professional codes of conduct, and ethical guidelines.

Are you a Veteran or a part of the Armed Forces Community?

As an Armed Forces Veteran, I completely understand your challenges.

Because I’ve been there. Anxiety, depression, and inner anger held me back and affected my life to the point that I couldn’t cope.

I asked for help … I got it … and I’m thriving.

Now, it’s my turn to give back, and I’m helping fellow veterans like you.

Using my (ongoing) training as a Solution Focused Clinical Therapist. I use trance (a form of hypnotherapy) and effective language patterns to help you regain control and confidence. I provide a safe environment for the primitive brain to process what it needs to at the pace it needs to.

Sound too good to be true? That’s what I thought initially, too. But it works.*

NOTE: All sessions are online, so you can relax in familiar surroundings, reducing additional stress. All sessions are held in the strictest confidence, adhering to legal requirements, professional codes of conduct, and ethical guidelines.

MY ARMED FORCES COVENANT COMMITMENT: All serving personnel, veterans, and their immediate family, as well as covenant signatories, will receive a complimentary initial consultation (worth £40).

 

What is the cost and how does it work?

Initial Consultation – £30

During the Initial Consultation, I will conduct a simple assessment to understand your needs and how best to support you. A brief health history will be taken to ensure a tailored treatment plan and a suggested timeframe for future sessions. I’ll explain how the brain works in simple terms, helping you regain control and rediscover yourself from the very first session. You’ll also receive access to a tailored relaxation track, valued at £15, to support our work together. I will thoroughly explain the treatment process and what to expect from future sessions. (Approximately 1 hour)

Subsequent Therapy Sessions – £60

These sessions are customised to suit your needs, blending psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. The goal is to deepen your understanding of how the brain works in relation to your health needs and to create a positive path or ‘road map’ for long-lasting changes. The number of sessions required varies and will be discussed during the Initial Consultation. (Approximately 1 hour)

Stopping Smoking and Stopping Vaping – £200 Book a Discovery Call First

This program consists of two 40 minute ‘stress bucket emptying’ sessions and one further ‘quit’ session lasting 2.5 hours.

In the first two sessions, we’ll do some stress bucket emptying and explore your reasons for wanting to stop smoking. In the third session, we’ll explore more about your smoking history, and a short medical questionnaire will be conducted. We’ll also review what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. This session uses neuroscience and scientific research; we’ll examine the mind’s role in maintaining the smoking habit and, crucially, how to train your mind to become a non-smoker. This session includes psychotherapy and trance (a form of hypnotherapy). We end with a tailored relaxation session to consolidate our work. You will also get an MP3 download to assist with regulating your sleep and accelerating the process.

I have had mental health issues for many years and hadn’t considered hypnotherapy until I met Darren. I have found the therapy interesting, enlightening and very relaxing. It is definitely helping me to change my mindset and become less negative. Darren is so kind and gentle that I would recommend him to anyone.

I've experienced therapy when I suffered from severe anxiety several years ago, Darren asked me to experience his Clinical Solution Focused Therapy and give feedback. I did & I can honestly say they're really effective. Darren has such a gentle, calm, relaxing manner and is easy to listen to. His life experience and empathy are going to be invaluable and really benefit future clients. If I'm ever in need of therapy again, he'll be the person I turn to!

I contacted Darren around 3 months ago after a recommendation from a friend. I was struggling with real anger issues and could not go a whole day without getting myself worked up over nothing!
I drive for a living and my rage would manifest behind the wheel; I literally hated everyone on the road and hated myself even more for being so irascible and feeling this way. To say I was sceptical would be an understatement; I had tried most therapies, even CBT but to no avail. I knew very little about Hypnotherapy other than what most folk see on TV, and knew nothing of the real benefits of it.
Darren immediately put me at ease and articulated the workings of the mind to me in a way that was easy to grasp; he was able to show me why I felt and acted the way I did and, importantly, instructed me how to work with my Primitive mind, not against it.
It has been a revelation for me working with him; he is methodical, calm and intuitive, and a thoroughly nice guy.
I wish I had met him earlier and learnt how not to be such an irrational old fool. He really does know his stuff and I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Having had sessions with Darren where I was a mental wreck because of bullying experienced in the work place on a large scale. I was put in a different place where calm and positivity was around me. If I did not have the support from Darren, I would not be here today. Words are not enough...thank you from the heart.

It's absolutely breath-taking being able to open up and talk to another veteran, even more so when he's so understanding and has gone through the motions that I have as an individual. Darren is massively helping me he's already helped me with keeping my gum shield in and not throwing up due to my gag reflexing and now focusing on my anxiety and depression. Thanks again mucker.
