About Evanwood Therapy

Thriving, not surviving…isn’t that the way we all want to live our lives?

I am Gill Wood, a solution focused hypnotherapist; I offer a personalised combination of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy for both adults and children to help you achieve your preferred future.  I can help with anxiety, phobias, sleep issues, self-confidence, fear, depression and weight management to name a few.  Solution focused hypnotherapy acknowledges that YOU are the expert on yourself and your life; you know what your goals are and what you would like your life to be like. I act as facilitator by using a range of techniques and focused questioning to gently guide you towards the life you want and deserve.  I offer a FREE discovery call, with no obligation, so you can be assured that my therapy is the right fit for you. I can’t wait to support you on your journey. Take that first step and get in touch today. 

I will equip you will the skills to take control your life, your stress and anxiety levels and to move forwards with positivity and confidence.  With solution focused hypnotherapy, I use the natural state of trance to focus the mind and make suggestions which can be helpful in managing anxiety and stress reduction. I will teach you how anxiety is created, how our brains work and how we can harness the power of positive thought, positive interaction and positive action in our lives and take control of our thoughts, feelings and emotions.

I also offer a 4 week weight loss course to reset your relationship with food and the scales.  You will understand your triggers and take control of your unhealthy eating habits, be motivated to exercise in a way that is enjoyable for you and learn how your body and brain can work against you when trying to lose weight. With just 4 weekly sessions with me, you can free yourself of disordered eating and get your brain and body working with you to lose excess weight and keep it off – for life.

In addition to being a hypnotherapist I am also a primary school teacher with 20 years’ experience; this means I see first-hand the impact of anxiety in the classroom, particularly post pandemic. I lead the personal development curriculum and anti-bullying programmes in school; therefore, I can tailor my treatment to a child or young person’s needs with expertise and experience that few therapists have. I am trained in using solution focused hypnotherapy with children and young people, including those with neurodiversity and challenging behaviour.

Anxiety in children can present itself as tummy aches, shaking, sweating, school refusal or reluctance, excessive worrying, lack of appetite or overeating, being suddenly shy or scared. They often have trouble sleeping. Anxious children will often lose their self-confidence or think negatively. I can help break this cycle by educating your child about why they feel the way do and how they can overcome it and fulfil their true potential. My philosophy is based on your child THRIVING, not SURVIVING! All of the above can also be experienced by adults with anxiety.

Take your first positive action today and book in for a free, no obligation discovery call to see how I can help and guide you on your journey to being the person you wish to be.
