Hypnotherapy is a gentle, effective therapy that can help you make positive changes by working with your subconscious mind.
Whether you're looking to overcome anxiety, break unwanted habits, build confidence, manage stress or address fears and phobias, hypnotherapy can provide a calm and supportive way to help you move forward.
At Kelly Porch Therapy, every hypnotherapy session is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Using relaxation techniques and guided therapeutic approaches, I'll help you enter a deeply relaxed state where your mind is more receptive to positive change. Throughout the session, you remain aware, in control and able to stop at any time – despite what you may have seen in films or on television.
Hypnotherapy isn't about losing control; it's about helping you access your own inner strengths and resources to create lasting, meaningful change. Together, we'll work towards helping you feel more confident, calmer and better equipped to live the life you want.
If you're curious about how hypnotherapy could help you, I'd be delighted to answer any questions and support you in taking the next step.

Depression
(SFH) promotes relaxation and focuses on positive solutions, This shift supports mood improvement, reduces negative thought patterns, aiding in long-term recovery from depression.
Performance
SFH enhances performance by inducing relaxation and reducing stress, which helps to calm the brain's stress response. It focuses on positive visualisation and goal-setting, reinforcing confidence and concentration.
Life Pressures
Low self-esteem can lead to feelings of self-doubt, insecurity, and a constant struggle with self-worth. Counselling provides a place to explore these feelings and build a healthier self-image.
Phobias
SFH focuses on empowering clients by emphasising goals and strengths rather than exploring the phobia's origins. This approach uses hypnosis to help clients make positive changes and overcome their fears effectively.

Anxiety can take over lives and feel overwhelming.
SFH reduces stress responses by focusing on positive solutions & new neural pathways promoting healthier thinking patterns.

SFH promotes relaxation and reduces stress, calming the brain's pain and creating new neural pathways from pain and illness. This can lower pain perception, improve emotional resilience, and support recovery.

If you’re new to using computers or the internet, online counselling may not be the best option for you. It’s important that technology doesn’t hinder your counselling experience, so a basic understanding of internet use and the ability to download necessary software is essential. Additionally, a reliable broadband connection is crucial for a smooth online experience.
I use Zoom for online sessions, which is a free and user-friendly video application that works well on laptops, desktops, phones, and tablets.
Online Hypnotherapy
Many people believe hypnotherapy must be undertake in person, but this isn't the case. Solution-focused hypnotherapy can be effectively conducted online, offering greater accessibility for those unable to attend in-person sessions. It became especially popular during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains a convenient option for many.
With online hypnotherapy, you can connect with me from most locations around the world (with some restrictions). This flexibility allows you to choose a hypnotherapist that fits your needs, rather than being limited by proximity. Specializing in helping individuals with chronic health issues and pain, I work with clients from various regions who seek my support. Whether you travel frequently, have difficulty leaving home, caregiving responsibilities, or other limitations, online hypnotherapy can be a suitable solution.
For sessions, it’s essential to be in a quiet, private space free from interruptions. When we begin the hypnotherapy portion of the session, ensure you are comfortable—either lying down or sitting with your legs up and head supported. Your device should be on a stable surface (not on your lap, as it may move when you relax) so I can see you clearly. A good Wi-Fi connection is also important for a smooth experience.
FAQ's - Hypnotherapy
Solution-focused hypnotherapy is an approach to hypnotherapy that focuses on helping individuals identify and achieve their desired goals or outcomes, rather than delving deeply into the underlying causes of their issues. This therapeutic approach combines elements of traditional hypnotherapy with principles from solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), a psychological counselling method.
What will a solution-focussed hypnotherapy be like?
Unlike counselling, solution-focussed hypnotherapy sessions are very structured and after the initial consultation appointment, each sessions follows the same structure.
The initial consultation session involves a brief discuss about your goals and desired outcomes. I will then talk you through an explanation of how your brain works, linking this to how hypnotherapy works. Clients always find this explanation enlightening.
Subsequent sessions involve the following structure (1) Focusing on what’s been good since the last session, (2) Scaling – provides a guide as to where on the scale you are currently experiencing your issue. (3) Miracle question
The session usually begins with a brief discussion, where the therapist and client explore the client's goals, challenges, and desired outcomes. The therapist will ask open-ended questions to understand the client's current situation and identify the strengths and resources they already possess. Unlike traditional therapies, this conversation is forward-looking, focusing on what the client wants to achieve rather than dwelling on past issues.
How often do I need to attend?
Hypnotherapy is a commitment for both client and hypnotherapist.
To make the most out of hypnotherapy and to ensure the best chance of success, hypnotherapy sessions usually take place weekly or fortnightly and are 60 minutes in length.
Why Organisations Choose Group Hypnotherapy
Creates a Shared Understanding
When people learn together, they develop a common understanding of stress, resilience and wellbeing. This shared knowledge helps create a supportive culture where positive change is reinforced beyond the sessions themselves.
Reduces Isolation and Promotes Connection
Many people experience stress, anxiety or low confidence in silence. Group sessions help normalise these experiences, encouraging participants to realise they are not alone while fostering a greater sense of connection and mutual support.
Builds Motivation and Engagement
The positive energy within a group encourages participation and helps maintain motivation. As individuals see others making progress, they often become more engaged and confident in applying the techniques themselves.
Strengthens Confidence and Resilience
As participants recognise their own progress alongside that of others, they develop greater confidence in their ability to manage challenges. This increased self-belief can have a positive impact both within and beyond the workplace.
Provides Practical and Informed Strategies
Each session combines Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy with practical psychoeducation, giving participants straightforward techniques they can use to manage stress, improve wellbeing and build resilience in everyday life.
