Solution Focused Hypnotherapy I help rewire your stresses, anxieties, low moods, insomnia, anger, chronic pain, overwhelm, life-work balance. Despite trying to “just live your life” or “stay positive”, do you feel a constant knot of anxiety? Or that life is an uphill struggle? You're not alone. I focus on what’s next. The practical tools that work. The steps that move you forward. Not in months, but in weeks. Because real change comes from rewiring your brain. Building new patterns, not just analysing old ones. Using proven clinical neuroscience techniques, I help you understand what’s happening inside your head and learn to rewire negative thought patterns. So you can move forward in life, in business, and in sports.

About Darren Finley. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

What makes me different is that I have real lived experience to draw upon. Plus years of therapeutic support and training with CPHT (the gold standard for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy), have taught me what works.
My childhood and later life trauma both before and after serving in the Armed Forces and frontline policing has led me here ready to help anyone who wants to make positive changes.
 
I create a calm, safe and positive space where real change happens, mixing professionalism with warmth and humour when appropriate (I'm also a qualified Laughter Yoga Leader!) – because healing doesn't always have to be heavy.
With over 1000 hours of client experience and a high success rate, I offer both online and face-to-face sessions in County Durham and Tyne & Wear.
 
With Level 4 diplomas in Psychotherapy and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, I help people find practical solutions to their mental health challenges.
I keep our work professional but relaxed with some appropriate humour. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable and understood. Every session is tailored to your unique situation, using examples that make sense for your world.
 
I can help rewire:
 
• Stress and anxiety
• Depression
• ADHD and (C)PTSD
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Returning to work after illness or maternity leave
• Impostor syndrome and procrastination
• Decision-making challenges
• Building confidence and resilience
• Public speaking anxiety
• Living with nuerodiversity
• Anger management
• Weight management
• Sleep problems
 
I'm a proud Armed Forces veteran who's found my calling helping people overcome mental health challenges and truly thrive.
After 25 years in military service and front-line policing, my own mental health journey has given me valuable insights that I now bring to my practice.
My work overcoming depression and thriving with Complex PTSD has shown me what actually works in mental health recovery. This led me to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy – a perfect match for my skills and passion.
