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 my career in the corporate world. Like many people, I experienced first-hand the effects of anxiety and stress on my wellbeing.

Hypnotherapy helped me regain my confidence and lower my anxiety. Overtime, my thoughts became clearer and I developed more control over my emotions. My newfound confidence allowed me to create a happier, more balanced life. I was so inspired that I retrained as a hypnotherapist; now, I help others embrace positive change too.

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.
