Why choose me?

 My name is Caroline Parsons and I am a qualified, fully insured Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Solution Focused Brief Therapist. I hold a current Enhanced DBS (the new CRB) certificate.
​
​I completed my training and was awarded a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and a Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma at the renowned Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training Centre in Plymouth. I went on to further my knowledge and skills by completing my Diploma in Medical Hypnotherapy at The Clinical Hypnotherapy School and completing the training program for Rewind Trauma Therapy with Dr David Muss at The International Association For Rewind Trauma Therapy (IARTT).

I am also an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist and hold a First Class Honours degree in Psychology.

My previous profession, of 28 years, was as a community pharmacist, counselling patients and helping them with their health problems.  

I am a member of The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) which ensures that it retains the highest level of professional standards from its members by adherence to its strict ethical code and structure. 

​I am a registered member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).  The CNHC register was set up with Government support and has been approved as an accredited register of practitioners by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.  General Medical Council guidance to doctors confirms they are able to refer patients to practitioners on the CNHC register.

​I ensure that my knowledge is kept up-to-date by attending regular continuing professional development (CPD) courses run by accredited organisations and I attend regular supervision with a qualified and experienced supervisor.

I am also a member of the British Psychological Society and the Plymouth Mental Health Network. 

I am committed to helping clients make the changes they want in their lives and offer a one-to-one, professional, empathetic and completely confidential service.
​
The initial consultation (which lasts 50 to 60 minutes), with absolutely no obligation to book further sessions, is an opportunity for you to meet me and gain an understanding of the process of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and how our brains create a wide range of unwanted symptoms and behaviours. You will have the chance to explore how you would like your life to be, how we can work together to achieve your preferred future and you can also ask any questions. A FREE hypnotherapy relaxation download is provided at your initial consultation. 
​
When looking for a private hypnotherapist the NHS recommends that you: 
"choose someone with a healthcare background" and
"check they're registered with an organisation that's accredited by the Professional Standards Authority"

With my experience of 28 years as a community pharmacist, my First Class Honours Psychology degree and membership of The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (an organisation accredited by the Professional Standards Authority) I fulfil these criteria. You can therefore have confidence that you have chosen a qualified hypnotherapist when choosing me to help you.


Why i chose solution focused hypnotherapy

In my 28 years as a pharmacist I saw countless prescriptions for medication to treat anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress-related conditions (such as migraine, IBS etc…). Whilst medication has its place in treating these conditions, I felt that I would also like to help people with non-drug interventions. This led me to studying psychology with the Open University. During my studies I developed an interest in counselling as a career. Having explored the many different types of counselling interventions available, I discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and realised that this was the path for me.

So why Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
​
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy focuses on:

  • the solution and not analysing problems of the past, going over painful past memories
  • what you want in life, not what you don’t want
  • helping you to make positive changes to the way you think, feel and behave
  • fostering a positive, happy attitude towards life
​
In my sessions with clients I use a variety of different techniques that have proven to be highly effective in bringing about positive and sustained change. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses the best of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in therapeutic practice. I aim to make this a fun process and I do not spend time going over painful past memories, focusing instead on the present and the future. I feel that this is the best way for me to help people to be the person they want to be; the person they can be. 



​"It took courage to seek help but I’m so glad I did. To have the benefit of Caroline’s physiological and psychological knowledge of our brain’s responses , clearly explained, I quickly knew I was in safe hands. What was offered in the sessions was non-judgemental and positive encouragement, with proven strategies to still myself and think logically and reflect, in order to break unhealthy habits and thought patterns. I gained  confidence, by using these tools, to control how I respond to life’s challenges. I cannot rate her help highly enough"
