About Hannah Small Hypnotherapy
Meet Hannah
Hi, I’m Hannah – Trainee Solution Focused Hypnotherapist
With 18 years of experience as a midwife, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of the most significant moments in their lives. My passion for helping others has led me to train in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, where I now support individuals in overcoming challenges such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and more.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, evidence-based approach that doesn’t dwell on the past. Instead, it focuses on the positive changes you want to make, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence. Offering a practical and empowering path towards your goals.
I currently offer sessions online, making support accessible and convenient from the comfort of your own space.
What is Hypnosis or Trance?
During hypnotherapy, we use a natural state called trance — a state of focused attention, similar to when you’re completely absorbed in a good book or film.
It’s not mind control, and it’s definitely not like stage hypnosis!
You remain fully in control and aware, simply in a calm and relaxed state that helps your brain process and consolidate positive changes.

Anxiety and Depression
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression by reprogramming negative thought patterns and promoting relaxation. Through solution-focused techniques, we work together to identify your strengths, set positive goals, and shift your mindset to a more balanced and empowered perspective
Insomnia
Struggling with insomnia can leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated, and unable to cope. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works by helping you reduce anxiety and empty your stress bucket—one of the key contributors to disrupted sleep. Through guided relaxation and a focus on positive change, hypnotherapy encourages the brain to shift into a more restful state, allowing you to relax deeply and sleep more soundly.
Phobias
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for overcoming phobias. Using techniques such as the Rewind and Reframe, we can access the subconscious mind and replace irrational fears with positive, calm responses, helping you feel confident and in control in challenging situations
OCD
Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel overwhelming, with intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours often fuelled by anxiety and stress. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy offers a calm, forward-looking approach that helps reduce anxiety and shift focus away from the problem. By encouraging positive thinking and building confidence, this therapy can help reduce the intensity of obsessive thoughts. With consistent support, clients often find they feel more in control and better able to manage their thoughts and behaviours in everyday life.
Smoking Cessation
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy supports you in a positive and empowering way with smoking cessation. This approach focuses on your desired future—free from smoking-helping you tap into your inner strengths and resources to create lasting change.
Pain Management
Living with persistent pain can affect every part of your life, often leading to stress, anxiety, and low mood. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps by encouraging relaxation, reducing stress, and supporting a more positive mindset. Over time, many people find they feel more empowered, resilient, and better equipped to manage their symptoms and improve overall wellbeing.
Weight Management
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you develop a more positive mindset, reduce stress, and break free from unhelpful habits or emotional eating patterns. By emptying your metaphorical stress bucket and focusing on your desired outcomes, hypnotherapy supports sustainable, healthy changes. Through relaxation and goal setting, you can feel more in control, motivated, and confident in your journey towards a healthier lifestyle.
Improving Performance
Performance isn’t just about talent—it’s about mindset. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you develop the mental clarity, confidence, and resilience needed to perform at your best. Whether you're preparing for a big event or simply want to push past personal limits, hypnotherapy can support you in staying focused, motivated, and in control.
