I know what it feels like to be trapped in survival mode. That is exactly why I became a therapist.
My own journey with anxiety began in childhood and followed me into my adult life. That lived experience is exactly what drove me to truly understand nervous system regulation and how we heal. Today, I combine over a decade of experience in mind-body wellness with advanced, trauma-informed hypnotherapy training to ensure you never have to navigate your own recovery loops alone.
I know with absolute certainty that change is completely possible, no matter what age you are.

A Warm Welcome, I’m Gaynor
A Little About Me
Hi, I’m Gaynor, an integrative, trauma-informed Clinical Hypnotherapist in Cheshire
My journey as a practitioner began in 2014 when I originally trained as a Clinical Reflexologist, specialising in fertility and women's health. Over the last decade, I have been deeply passionate about guiding people to achieve greater physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Building on this foundational experience, I trained through the gold-standard Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT). I hold a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) alongside the NCFE-accredited Level 4 Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD). With this expertise, I combine solution-focused questioning and hypnotic trance to partner with you to build your preferred future, focusing on your strengths rather than past problems.
To me, being trauma-informed means I believe there is nothing inherently wrong with you. Your thoughts, feelings, and reactions are simply learned survival responses. Understanding how your brain stores these patterns... and how it can rewire itself... is your powerful first step toward positive change. The next step is supporting you to build the resources you need to move beyond them.
My Approach to Healing
True healing does not always mean your symptoms completely disappear...it means finding your personal purpose, rebuilding self-esteem, and reclaiming lasting inner peace.
Healing trauma is not about erasing the past, but rewiring your brain to recognise that you are finally safe in the present.
