About angelaheyeshypnotherapy.co.uk

Hi, I am Angela Heyes - a solution-focused clinical hypnotherapist, psychotherapist and accredited counsellor based in Middleton Manchester. My background working in mental health began in 2011 when I qualified as a person-centred counsellor. Over the years I have provided counselling support in areas such as bereavement, domestic abuse, drug-alcohol issues and have worked as a Solution Focused Brief therapist in a GP's surgery. I feel this has given me extensive knowledge of a range of mental health issues and the negative impact they can have on a client's day to day life. It has also allowed me to develop a range of coping tools and strategies that have helped my clients to break the cycle of negative thinking and lead happier lives.

My interest in Hypnotherapy began when I had hypnotherapy for a fear of flying 3 years ago. Hypnotherapy helped me to feel calmer, more in control and get on a flight for the first time ever without feeling overwhelming panic and dread. I was thrilled and quickly became fascinated by just how powerful the subconscious mind can be.

I was drawn to training in Solution Focused hypnotherapy as it helped me to overcome my own phobia. It is also a positive form of therapy based on a theoretical model that I already had some previous knowledge and experience of working with. It combines Psychotherapy and hypnosis which is more powerful and effective than hypnosis alone. It is also a very modern approach, informed by the latest research that gives clients positive results in a relatively short space of time.

I offer a warm,non-judgemental, safe therapeutic environment in which we can work together to explore what your hopes and aims are from therapy. I am passionate about facilitating a problem-free/forward-thinking approach to therapy and believe that everybody has the skills they need within them to effect positive change. Using solution-focused techniques  I can help you to break the cycle of negativity and unhelpful coping behaviours you might have fallen into. Leaving you feeling calmer, more relaxed, more in control and focused on your future in a positive way.
