About Helen McDonald Hypnotherapy
My journey to hypnotherapy
I’ve always been passionate about helping people. My career began as a nurse with the NHS, where I had the privilege of caring for others during some of their most vulnerable moments. Over time, my interest in holistic wellbeing led me to reflexology, where I began to notice a common theme – many of my clients were struggling with anxiety and stress. I wanted to do more.
Therapeutic hypnosis
As I worked with more people facing mental health challenges, I felt a calling to find a way to support them on a deeper level and create lasting change. Hypnotherapy had always been on my mind, and when I discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH), something clicked. I was drawn to its forward-thinking, science-backed approach – helping people move towards a more positive future rather than dwelling on the past.
What I love most about clinical hypnosis is seeing real transformation in my clients. Supporting them one-on-one, giving them the time, attention, and guidance they need to feel calmer, more in control, and empowered – it’s incredibly rewarding. I truly believe in creating a safe, supportive space where people can develop the tools to manage their thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being.
I’m also fascinated by neuroscience and how understanding the brain can help us live happier, more fulfilling lives. SFH integrates this knowledge beautifully, using practical, effective techniques to create meaningful change.
Helping people move forward, build confidence, and regain control over their lives is my greatest passion. I feel incredibly lucky to do this work, and I’d love to help you take that next step toward a happier, healthier future.
