About Mend Hypnotherapy – Sally Nicholls

I’m a Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy Practitioner based in Sheffield.

I specialise in helping people with issues that are often worsened by stress or anxiety. This includes poor sleep, low self-esteem, unwanted habits, phobias, and even pain.

Why I started Mend Hypnotherapy

My journey into professional hypnotherapy began after stepping away from the corporate world. Like many people, I experienced first-hand the affects pressure, stress, and the demands modern life can have on your emotional & physical wellbeing.

These experiences inspired me to make meaningful changes in my own life. Over time, I developed the skills to create a happier, more balanced life with greater control and purpose. Now, I help others work towards their goals and embrace positive change.

My Solution Focused approach

Each session is unique and tailored to you. I use a combination of Solution Focused talking therapy, which looks towards the future rather than focusing on past problems, and hypnosis, a guided state of relaxation (trance) that helps access the mind’s natural resources for positive change.

This science-based methodology builds on your strengths and supports you in moving forward, using techniques drawn from Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Anxiety

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, making everyday tasks harder and leaving you tense, worried, or constantly on edge. Hypnotherapy helps restore calm, focus, and a sense of control.
