Welcome to Hypnotherapy Cheshire!
A forward-thinking, modern somatic approach to healing. Helping you identify and build upon your strengths to achieve your desired goals, without dwelling on painful memories.
Looking for natural solutions that help you create lasting change in Warrington & Northwich or further afield?
I’m Gaynor, a Trauma-Informed Somatic-Based Practitioner, and a Solution-Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, located in Warrington, Cheshire.
My focus is supporting individuals in their journey towards physical, mental, and emotional well-being, to make positive changes in their life.
Using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) approaches combined with psychotherapy, hypnosis, elements of positive psychology, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and other neuroplasticity, mindfulness and somatic techniques.
Unlike traditional therapies Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy focuses on future solutions, building on your strengths and resources, to achieve positive lasting change, rather than digging up the past.
Helping you to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings in the present moment, and how they can influence your actions, to challenge them and intentionally make purposeful changes to shape new neural pathways to create the life you want.
I work in a trauma-informed way which means I approach my clients with the core belief that there is nothing inherently wrong with you, and let’s help you to heal the root cause (i.e. your nervous system) of your presenting struggles, in the context of your lived experiences - without having to revisit the past.
Fostering an inner sense of safety, peace, acceptance, self-confidence, freedom, connectedness to others, curiosity, and resilience.
So you can handle whatever life is asking you to hold, whilst continuing to progress towards your goals.

Research has shown that unresolved accumulated stress, our unprocessed emotional pain, trauma, and unmet needs in childhood, shapes and informs how we feel, think, and behave. Having an impact on our physiology, as well as our mental and emotional health.
This is why my focus is empowering individuals to heal past and current traumas, by helping them to build healthy regulated nervous systems (without having to dig up the past), so they can break patterns and build resilence. Having a positive ripple effect on their physiology and all areas of their life.

Don't shame yourself for holding onto these thoughts and behaviours for so long
You're not broken
You don't need fixing
It's not you
It's your nervous system
Your Autonomic Nervous System is “Stuck” in “PROTECTION” mode, not realising you are “Safe” to receive the things you want.
Caused by a moment or moments in time, when your body went into a state of alarm, and your nervous system became dysregulated, because you weren't able to fully process what happened.
Your nervous system isn’t trying to harm you, it’s trying to “PROTECT” you from more stress and pain in the future.
So in fact you're right where you're supposed to be, you’re in self-protection (SURVIVAL MODE).
We just have to work on showing your body it’s now ‘SAFE’ to come out of Protection and into Connection, so you don't feel stuck.
So you can choose to break unhelpful patterns, and self-limiting beliefs, that are keeping you stuck, and getting in the way of achieving your healing goals.
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy, uses hybrids of coaching and therapy, to heal the root cause, i.e. your nervous system.
Helping to take your body & mind out of “PROTECTION” and into “CONNECTION”, to achieve homeostasis.
Now it's time to show your body that it’s safe to truly live the life you deserve.
Thank you for trusting me to support you on your healing journey.
