Ellie’s Approach: Psychotherapy and Hypnosis combined
Psychotherapy, much like counselling, is a conscious, client-led form of talk therapy that helps individuals manage and overcome mental health issues, emotional challenges, and problematic behaviours.
Being solution-focussed, we focus on where you would like to be in your life, and work on discovering how to get you there.
Combined with hypnosis, it can be amazingly effective and does not usually rely on lengthy courses of treatment, with many people making lasting changes in as few as 3-6 sessions.
Why use hypnosis as well as psychotherapy?
Most of our unhelpful behaviours and belief systems are locked in the subconscious mind, which cannot be influenced by talking alone. Intellectual understanding can only take us so far - most of us already know what we ‘should’ be doing, and have a rough idea of where our issues stem from.
During the relaxed state of trance we are open to suggestion, allowing subtle changes to take place deep within. However, despite this openness you do not lose control during hypnosis, and I can’t influence you to do anything you don’t want.
Anyone can be hypnotised if they want to be, and like day-dreaming, you can enter and leave this state at will.

In person appointments take place in the Therapy Room at Elixir Health and Wellbeing, Wadebridge. The space is welcoming and peaceful, allowing you to get the most from your therapy sessions.
In-person and remote options
Can’t make it into the store, or prefer the comfort of your own home? Online sessions are available too.
“Found my sessions so beneficial with Ellie. She naturally puts you at ease, and has a very gentle and calming manner, in both exploring your needs and the hypnotherapy itself.”
