As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, my passion lies in helping people unlock their own strengths and move towards the life they want to live. I work with clients who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, stress, low confidence, phobias, sleep problems, habits, and addictions, guiding them to create positive change without having to spend hours focusing on the past. I believe that everyone has the resources within them to feel calmer, stronger, and more in control — sometimes it just takes the right approach to bring those strengths to the surface. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines practical, future-focused talking therapy with the natural benefits of hypnosis, allowing the brain to relax, reset, and rewire itself for healthier patterns of thinking. Clients often describe it as refreshing and uplifting, because rather than dwelling on what has gone wrong, we look at what is possible and how life can be better. My sessions are collaborative and supportive. You will never be judged, analysed, or asked to re-live painful memories. Instead, we’ll focus on small, achievable steps that build momentum towards your goals. Using neuroscience as a foundation, I explain how the brain works in simple, everyday language, so you gain a clear understanding of why you feel the way you do — and how you can change it. I see my role as both a guide and a cheerleader: helping you take back control, celebrating your progress, and giving you the tools to continue that progress long after our sessions have ended. I offer a safe, welcoming space where you can relax and feel at ease. Each session includes time for positive conversation, practical tools, and a deeply relaxing hypnotic trance that allows your subconscious mind to absorb new, more helpful patterns of thought. Many clients find these sessions to be the highlight of their week, leaving them calmer, clearer, and more confident in their own abilities. Whether you’re looking to reduce anxiety, sleep better, break free from unwanted habits, or simply rediscover a sense of balance and wellbeing, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you move forward. Change doesn’t have to be complicated — with the right support, it can feel natural, empowering, and surprisingly enjoyable.

About Mind Flow Hypnotherapy
Hi I’m Toby, the heart and soul behind Mind Flow Hypnotherapy. I’m based in the beautiful town of Hebden Bridge, and I also work from Sowerby Bridge and online so people can access support from wherever they’re based. I’m a compassionate and professional Solution Focused Hypnotherapist with personal experience navigating my own mental-health challenges. That lived experience is a big part of what drives my work today.
I believe people already hold the tools, strengths and potential to move forward, sometimes we just need the right environment, the right support, and a calmer brain to access them. My sessions offer a warm, welcoming and inclusive space where you can relax, settle your nervous system and begin shifting unhelpful thought patterns. I draw on a blend of modern approaches, rooted in neuroscience, solution-focused techniques and gentle hypnotherapy, always keeping things positive, practical and focused on the future you want to build rather than the past you want to move away from.
I support people who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, stress, low confidence, phobias, sleep struggles, addictive habits, alcohol moderation, stopping smoking or vaping, and those who simply want to reconnect with a calmer, stronger version of themselves. The aim is to help you reclaim your personal power, feel more in control, and create space for genuine change. Many people begin to notice a shift after just a few sessions, although everyone’s journey is different.
People choose Mind Flow Hypnotherapy because the experience is friendly, down-to-earth and free from judgement. I bring both professional training and personal understanding of what anxiety and overwhelm can feel like, and I’m committed to ongoing learning so my practice stays modern, ethical and effective. You’ll be listened to, supported and encouraged, and you’ll also gain practical tools that you can use outside the therapy room.
While I can’t guarantee specific outcomes — no ethical therapist can — I can promise a safe and respectful environment, a clear and structured approach, and my full commitment to your wellbeing throughout our work together. Whether you join me in person or online, the goal is always the same: to help you feel calmer, clearer, more focused and more connected to the future you want.
