Say Yes to Change, Say Yes to You!

I’m based in Dover, UK, and work with clients all over the world online.. so wherever you are, we can work together.

About Michelle

Here’s How I Can Help You

I help people break through the subconscious barriers, fears, and unhelpful habits that are holding them back, without the struggle.
These aren’t just tools I’ve trained in, they’re the same brain-based techniques I used to overcome my own struggles..
not as a therapist, but as someone who knows what it’s like to carry too much for too long.

That’s why I believe so deeply in this work.. because I know what’s possible when the process is done right.

I’ll guide you through a solution-focused, proven approach that helps rewire your brain to create lasting behavioural changes and release what no longer serves you.. in a way that sticks.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy stands apart from traditional therapies by focusing on what’s working and where you want to go. Whereas, traditional talking therapies often take months or even years to produce noticeable results, as they frequently involve revisiting and analysing past traumas or issues that can leave you feeling overwhelmed.

I combine elements of psychotherapy with hypnosis, based on the latest research in neuroscience – to harness the brain’s natural capacity for forming new and positive habits.

This method is particularly effective for areas like weight management, insomnia, smoking and vaping cessation, anxiety, confidence, phobias, IBS, pain management, OCD, performance issues, PTSD, menopause and more.. areas where swift progress is not just desired but essential.

“When you teach the brain a new way to work, it can change your life faster than you think“

Conquer Phobias

Tame intense fears like needles, dentists, public speaking, spiders, or flying — in a safe environment without exposure therapy or emotional overwhelm.

Anxiety Relief

Shift your focus from worry to solutions – so you can handle whatever life throws at you with calm control and without dwelling on the past.

Better Sleep

A solution-focused approach to help ease the mental overload that’s been keeping you awake – so that you can rebuild healthy sleep patterns

Stop Vaping

In just one powerful session, we’ll quiet the brain’s urge to reach for a fix, so you can break free without replacement nicotine or white-knuckle willpower

Stop Smoking

In just one powerful session, we’ll retrain your brain to relinquish control – so you can start breathing free and expand your bank balance.

Weight & Emotional Eating

Retrain the part of your brain that drives emotional eating, so you can feel in control when it matters most — without guilt, dieting, or relying on willpower

Not Sure If Now’s The Time?

There’s never a perfect time.. but there is a better one!

It’s easy to push self-care down the list of priorities.. but left unchecked, things like anxiety, insomnia, or phobias tend to intensify over time.
If part of you knows it’s time, trust that part.

Most clients say they wish they’d started sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What actually happens in sessions?

Most sessions follow a structured format. We start with a conversation focused on what’s been going well, and weave in the neuroscience to help you understand why you feel like you do. You’ll rate how you’ve been feeling, then we explore small, achievable steps using powerful solution-focused questions. We conclude with ‘couch time‘ where I guide you into a deeply calm state with soothing music. This is what we call trance or hypnosis, and it’s where the brain becomes most open to change.

What is hypnosis and will I lose control?

Not at all. Hypnosis/trance is where your two minds, the conscious and subconscious, come together in focus. It’s a natural, relaxed state where you’ll be open to positive suggestions that resonate with your goals, all while remaining fully in control.
You can bring yourself out of trance any time, though most people are happy to stay right where they are.

Will I remember everything during trance?

During trance, your mind may wander and that’s completely normal. You may drift in and out, lose track of time, or even feel like you’ve been asleep. You might not remember every word that I’ve said, but your subconscious will be taking in the suggestions it needs. The conscious mind may step aside, but the part of your brain that runs the show is still listening.

Do I need to talk about my past for this to work?

No. We don’t analyse the past or focus on problems. Instead, you’ll be gently encouraged to use the positive, rational part of your brain to shut down the stress response – keeping your prefrontal cortex in charge.
This approach is solution-focused, and everything we do helps move you forward in manageable steps. It’s effective, practical, and doesn’t require you to relive anything painful.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your goals. Most clients working on anxiety, sleep issues, OCD, or emotional eating book 8–12 weekly sessions, sometimes less, sometimes more. You’ll start with a one-off Foundation Session, and from there we’ll decide the best next steps together. Phobias usually require just 4 appointments. Smoking and Vaping cessation usually takes just 1 powerful session. Your results will also depend on your commitment to the process — change happens fast when you consistently put in the work between sessions.

Do I need to do anything between sessions?

Yes, but it’s nothing time-consuming. You’ll listen to a relaxing MP3 each night to help your brain lock in the changes we’re making and help you sleep better. I’ll also show you small, simple tools to keep your feel-good neurotransmitters flowing. These tiny habits create powerful momentum.

Can we work together in person?

All sessions are delivered online via Zoom. Most clients prefer the comfort of their own home and hypnosis is just as effective via video. But if you live in the Dover Kent area, and prefer face-to-face sessions, this may be arranged by request.

Do you only work with women?

Not at all. I work with men, women and young people aged 14 and over – from all walks of life. If you’re open to the process and ready for change, I’m happy to work with you.

★★★★★

Having suffered from insomnia for many years, I was recommended to Michelle at Yes Hypnotherapy some 3 months ago. We have worked together for upwards of 2 months and I have experienced vast improvements in my ability to sleep.
Nothing that I have attempted over many years has afforded me such dramatic results. My general sense of wellness and positivity is further enhanced. Michelle is professional, optimistic and has excellent communication skills. She is empathetic, patient and has a creative mindset. Combined with her sense of calmness and imaginative mindset the above qualities have helped hugely in my quest for inner peace. I recommend Michelle without any hesitation whatsoever. Hypnotherapy provided by Michelle has been an absolute godsend.

Going through hypnotherapy with Michelle has been a truly transformative experience. From the very first session, she made me feel completely comfortable, creating a safe and supportive space where I could really open up.
What stood out to me was not just her skill in the hypnotherapy itself, but how she took the time to explain how the brain works and why certain patterns or behaviours show up. That understanding made such a difference, it helped everything click into place in a much deeper way.
Michelle didn’t just guide me through a process; she helped shift my entire mindset. I’ve come away from our sessions with clarity, confidence, and a completely new outlook on things that used to hold me back. Her support has been consistent and insightfuI ! Honestly Michelle has been brilliant from start to finish, and I’m so grateful for the impact she’s had on my journey.

I have seen Michelle for help around my anxiety of having blood pressure taken. I could never get a true reading as it would always be through the roof whether at the doctors or at home. I could not even look at the machine and the sound would make my anxiety worse… having health anxiety this was really a contributing factor to my anxiety as it would add to my worries always had my blood pressure in the back of my mind on a OCD loop.
4 sessions with Michelle and I have been taking my own blood pressure At home for 3 days now and they are all in the normal range!! I have felt really calm and non attached to the process in any way! This is seriously huge for me! Thanks Michelle you have helped more than you know!
