About Robyn

I am a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, IEMT and Embodied Processing practitioner.

Before my journey towards Hypnotherapy, I had been happily working within the care industry as head of the palliative care team. I found my work in complex care, and, later, complex cerebral palsy, both rewarding and challenging. Then, a few years ago, I started to get poorly, a lot.

Frequent bouts of ill health and debilitating fatigue took a toll on both my private and work life. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and eventually after working diagnosis of CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and FM (Fibromyalgia) seriously debilitating conditions affecting over 250,000 people in the UK alone, I was finally diagnosed with FND (functional neurological disorder). I was unable to work, leave the house, or even, at my worst, unable to sit up or feed myself. The physical symptoms were unbearable and trying to manage chronic and long-term acute pain, as well as the social isolation and brain fog which accompanied it, was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. At times I was ready to give up - this wasn’t the life I’d signed up for! I was trying everything I could to improve my condition - CBT, diet and supplements, cold water therapy, infrared therapy - but keeping on top of everything with such limited energy and by now plummeting mental health felt like climbing a mountain whilst shackled to a ten tonne weight. 

I was first introduced to hypnotherapy by a friend who desperately wanted to change their fussy eating habits. Seeing how successful their sessions had been, I was intrigued…

I had read of hypnotherapy helping chronic pain and other chronic conditions, so I picked up the phone to book just five sessions and I haven’t looked back. My sessions enabled me to make small improvements, bit by bit, day by day, as well as calming my limbic system and refocusing my mind.

Gradually, my health began to improve. I went from being unable to leave the house, and needing a walking stick to climbing mountains!

Hypnotherapy not only helped me improve my own health, but it also gave me a purpose to work towards. Solution-focused hypnotherapy stands out to me as it allows client and therapist to work together to change a mindset and create new opportunities. We work to rewire the brain, create new thought processes, and build skills that don’t just last a few days or months, but a whole lifetime. 

I’d love to help you find your new path. See how you can work with me to discover how to live with light.
