I am a linguistics graduate and practicing therapist with a background in solution-focused approaches and integrative psychotherapy. With four years of experience running a private therapy practice, my work centers on the intersection of language, cognition, and emotional regulation. I am particularly interested in how linguistic patterns — including metaphor, modality, pronoun use, and narrative structure — reflect internal states and therapeutic change over time. My current professional development focuses on the application of discourse and pragmatics to clinical settings, particularly in identifying linguistic markers of progress, resistance, and relational dynamics in therapy. I draw on insights from corpus linguistics, conversation analysis, and psycholinguistics to enhance reflective practice and support evidence-informed interventions. This CPD submission explores the potential of linguistic analysis as both a clinical and research tool, supporting more attuned, outcome-aware therapeutic work.

About Myriad Minds Hypnotherapy
Liberty is a qualified and experienced Solution Focused Psychotherapist with a specialism in Hypnotherapy. She supports clients in creating meaningful, lasting change by helping them move away from problem-focused thinking and towards practical, future-oriented solutions that align with their values and inner strengths.
With a degree in Linguistics, Liberty brings a deep awareness of the power of language, metaphor, and narrative to her therapeutic work. This unique perspective enriches the therapeutic process, enabling clients to gain insight, shift limiting patterns, and begin to express and shape the life they want to lead.
Her sessions are gentle, collaborative, and grounded in mindfulness and neuroscience. Each session is tailored to the client’s unique needs and pace, with a focus on creating a safe, encouraging space where healing and transformation can unfold naturally. Whether a client is navigating anxiety, OCD, low mood, trauma, relationship challenges, or periods of transition, Liberty provides practical tools and a supportive framework to help them reconnect with their inner clarity and confidence.
Liberty works with adults and teens, offering both short- and longer-term support depending on the client’s goals. Alongside her 1:1 work, she also creates self-hypnosis recordings, guided therapeutic journals, and online self-development programs designed to complement and deepen the work done in sessions.
Her aim is always to empower her clients—helping them access their own resources, strengthen emotional resilience, and build the future they most want to experience.
