About Deborah Pearce Hypnotherapy

How I can help:

I use Solution Focused therapy techniques, which means we don’t analyse the past or what’s wrong. Instead we focus on how you want things to be. It’s a very powerful, uplifting experience, and over the years I have helped many hundreds of clients achieve a better enjoyment of life.

Hypnotherapy can help with a wide range of issues, including: Anxiety, Stress, Lack of Motivation, Problems Sleeping, Confidence, Weight Management, Phobias and much more.

I have always been fascinated by the power of the sub-conscious and my experience as a hypnotherapist has demonstrated the significant changes we can make to the quality of our lives, simply by changing the way we think about things.

Life can be fun!

What is Hypnotherapy?

It’s probably not what you think.

Hypnotherapy is more than just hypnosis. It is underpinned by psychotherapy techniques designed to help you change unwanted habits of thought.

Hypnotherapy can help with a wide range of issues, including:

Anxiety, Stress, Lack of Motivation, Problems Sleeping, Confidence, Weight Management, Phobias and much more.

Many people believe that hypnotherapy is something that is "done" to them, that they explain their issue to the therapist who then simply hypnotizes their problem away, as if by magic.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a much more collaborative process and it's important to understand that change happens because you want it to and because you are prepared to take the necessary steps to allow it to happen.

About Me:

Born in Plymouth, my career has taken me away from the West Country for most of my adult life.

In a nutshell: I graduated with an honours degree in Physics from UCL. I then spent 13 years in the IT industry, followed by 17 years in the charity sector.

I moved back to Devon in 2003 to be closer to friends and family and settled close to the lovely town of Ottery St Mary.

Moving back enabled me to focus on all the things I’d always wanted to do but never had enough time – like finding out more about how the mind works by training to become a clinical hypnotherapist.

I qualified from the prestigious Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training school (CPHT) in Bristol in 2008 and subsequently became a Supervisor, helping other Hypnotherapists hone their therapeutic skills. I built a thriving Hypnotherapy practice in and around East Devon.

Between 2015 and 2020 I was a Hypnotherapy Trainer for CPHT and established satellite schools in Guildford and Southampton with a close colleague. I also took over the running of CPHT Manchester with another close colleague. We trained dozens of students to become Solution Focused Hypnotherapists.

I launched an online self-help course in 2022 drawing on 15 years of experience to help individuals overcome anxiety.
