Solution‑Focused Hypnotherapy in Cheshire
A Warm Welcome to Hypnotherapy Cheshire —I'm Gaynor, a Trauma-Informed Clinical Hypnotherapist
I’m Gaynor, a trauma-informed solution focused clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist based in Warrington, Cheshire.
As a therapist my focus is on supporting individuals on their journey toward greater physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing, helping them make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.
Trauma-informed means I approach all my clients with the core belief that there is nothing inherently wrong with you — the way you think, feel, and react are not flaws or fixed personality traits — they are learned survival responses—developed to keep you safe. Gaining insight into these patterns can be a powerful first step toward change.
Through therapy, we gently work to expand your capacity to move beyond unhelpful patterns, fostering a deeper sense of safety, confidence, and connection—both within yourself and in your relationships.
Bringing awareness to why you feel, think and behave, is the first step in healing, the next step is building capacity to move beyond that
Ready to find new perspectives and alternative ways to manage your problems?
I take an integrative approach, drawing on a range of effective top‑down and bottom‑up therapeutic modalities. This allows each session to be tailored to you, rather than relying on a one‑size‑fits‑all models.
Together, we will explore what may be holding you back from the life you long for, and I will support you in identifying meaningful, achievable steps toward the fulfilment and balance you deserve.
If you’re ready to take the first step towards positive change, I’d love to help.

In-Person Clinical Hypnotherapy in Warrington
A Safe, Compassionate Space for Healing
Many people seek therapy because they have a deep-seated belief that “something is wrong with me," or "this is just the way I am," which can follow you around causing you distress throughout your life.
Healing helps you to be with the parts of you that feel like this, in an understanding & compassionate way. So you feel heard and validated.
Self-Awareness Opens the Door to Change
The first step in healing is self-awareness, to understand your behaviours are survival strategies developed in response to overwhelming events in your life.
And crucially that:
- You’re not alone
- There’s nothing inherently wrong with you
- It’s not your fault
- Your limbic system is stuck in survival mode
The Next Step is Building Capacity to Move Beyond that to Shape your Future — so you can handle whatever life is asking you to hold

What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AFSFH) describes Solution Focused Hypnotherapy as..."A modern type of talking therapy that uses solution focused questioning combined with trance."
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) harnesses the brain’s natural ability to change and adapt—its neuroplasticity—to support meaningful, lasting transformation. This approach helps regulate the nervous system, easing the body’s stress response and promoting a calmer, more balanced state.
Rather than dwelling on problems or past difficulties, SFH gently guides you toward your strengths, goals, and preferred future. By focusing on what’s going well and what you want to achieve, the brain begins to rewire itself in healthier, more empowering ways. This process can reduce anxiety and low mood, enhance cognitive functioning, and often lead to positive change in fewer sessions compared with traditional talk therapy.
Solution-focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) uses Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) approaches, talk therapy (psychotherapy) & hypnosis (trance), and the Rewind Technique (developed for PTSD) - to utilise neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to physically reorganise itself (change/rewire) by forming new neural connections.
It also incorporates elements of positive psychology, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and other neuroplasticity, mindfulness techniques.
Additionally, I am trained in EMDR (developed for PTSD), Somatic Parts Work (which integrates the method of IFS), Root-Cause Therapy (RCT) (which uses regression and integrates the methodology of Timeline Therapy).
Helping you move forward with your life without reliving the pain of the past.
Why Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy Works
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy works because it combines practical, goal-focused conversation with deep relaxation (trance) to reduce anxiety and make the unconscious mind more receptive to positive change. By focusing on a preferred future and small achievable steps, it helps interrupt unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen helpful habits, and build confidence—often more quickly than approaches that spend long periods analysing the past.
Neuroscience shows that when you:
…you can create new neural pathways that support lasting change. This is what solution-focused hypnotherapy is designed to support—helping your brain learn calmer, more constructive responses over time.
