Hello and welcome to Wrexham Hypnotherapy

Helping you to feel better

Qualified Experience

Hi, I’m Tina Duckett, and I’m here to help you make real, lasting changes in your life. Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is all about moving forward—not digging through the past. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself, I can help you tap into your brain’s natural ability to change, adapt, and thrive.

I offer sessions both in person at my practice in Johnstown, near Wrexham, and online—so you can access support in a way that works best for you.

With over 25 years of experience as a Mental Health Nurse (BSc Hons) and specialist training in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (HPD, DSFH), I understand how the mind works and, more importantly, how to help you use that knowledge to your advantage. I’m also a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, which means you can trust you’re in safe hands.

My Approach

At Wrexham Hypnotherapy, we don’t waste time going over what’s gone wrong. Instead, we focus on what’s going right and how to build on it.

Using a modern, neuroscience-based approach, I’ll help you understand how your brain works and how small shifts in thinking can create big changes in how you feel and behave.

This isn’t about “fixing” you—you’re not broken. It’s about retraining your brain to work with you rather than against you, so you can move forward with confidence.

When you choose

From the very first session, we’ll focus on the future you want—not the problems holding you back. We’ll look at how your brain naturally rewires itself based on your thoughts and experiences, and we’ll use that to your advantage.

Whether you want to feel calmer, sleep better, reduce anxiety, or build confidence, I’ll help you develop the tools to get there—often seeing real progress within just a few weeks.

The best part? You already have everything you need to change. My job is to help you unlock that potential.

Ready to Get Started?

The initial consultation is a chance to explore how your brain works, why stress and anxiety build up, and—most importantly—how we can retrain your brain to work in a way that supports you. You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of why you feel the way you do and what we can do to change that.

Change happens when we create the right conditions for the brain to succeed. The more you engage with positive actions and thoughts, the more you strengthen the neural pathways that lead to progress.

So, if you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here to help. Your journey starts now, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Testimonials

Experience the Benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

Reducing Anxiety and Stress: Solution-focused hypnotherapy helps you reduce anxiety and stress by focusing on positive changes and identifying solutions to move towards your future goals. Through calming the mind and promoting relaxation, the gentle guidance of trance allows your goals to settle into your subconscious mind.

Breaking Negative Thought Patterns: By concentrating on solutions rather than problems, solution-focused hypnotherapy disrupts negative cycles, encourages positive thinking, and cultivates a solution-focused mindset. Just like Jane mentioned in her testimony, I can support you in breaking free from negative forecasting.

Improving Sleep: Solution-focused hypnotherapy techniques can enhance sleep quality and address insomnia by mirroring the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) state during sleep. This process helps empty your metaphoric stress bucket, promoting deep relaxation. Harriet’s testimony highlights how I supported her in improving the length and quality of her sleep.

Managing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Solution-focused hypnotherapy is particularly beneficial for managing PTSD. It combines talking therapy with a relaxed state achieved through trance, guiding you to improve symptoms and daily life without regression or reliving past trauma. This approach helps you find solutions and break negative cycles. Janet’s remarkable improvement in just a short time is a testament to the power of this approach, as you can see from her testimony.

Managing Obsessional Thinking: Solution-focused hypnotherapy is particularly effective in treating obsessional thinking by gently guiding your thoughts away from problems and towards solutions. By imagining life without the problem, your brain starts to cultivate that new reality. This empowers you to break the cycle of obsessive thinking, as Rhys mentions in his heartfelt testimony.

Enhancing Relationships: Solution-focused hypnotherapy can also greatly benefit relationships by equipping you with the tools to regulate your emotions effectively. Neuroscience shows that the limbic system plays a key role in processing and regulating emotions, helping you take control of your feelings. By managing stress and anxiety, you can promote a more relaxed way of being, which supports positive interactions. Just like Ed shares in his testimony, solution-focused hypnotherapy made a significant difference in his relationships.

See what people have to say about us

So much happier with myself.

Tina educated me about the brain and how every negative thought is converted into stress and anxiety, which is stored in the stress bucket, and recognized how I was caught up in a negative cycle. She has provided me with the knowledge to enabled me to break free of my negative thought patterns and I have made positive changes in my life. I feel so much happier within myself and my life. Thank you Tina, keep up with the good work. Jane

I am now in a good place.

When I went to see Tina I was struggling with obsessional thoughts and negative forecasting about the future, which was making me feel consumed and I felt stressed with poor sleep. Tina helped me understand that I was functioning in my primitive brain where I was encouraged to be negative and obsessional. Tina educated me about how to create positive neurotransmitters and how to empty my stress bucket. I am now in a good place, sleeping well and feel much more confident. I would recommend Tina. Rhys

I achieved my goal

I hoped to achieve better sleep, as I had experienced disturbed sleep for many years, leaving me feeling exhausted and stressed. Working with Tina I achieved my goal, sleeping more deeply and for longer, which I feel energized, motivated and positive. And most importantly I am not filling my stress bucket up so I continue to sleep. I have recommended Tina to others and will continue to do so. Harriet

I achieved my goal and more

I went to see Tina for help to feel more relaxed in life and live more in the moment and not worry so much about the future. Well I have achieved that and much more because now I enjoy my life more and have better relationships. I am aware when I’m being triggered and going into my primitive brain, which is okay because I no longer stay there. I would recommend Tina and solution focused hypnotherapy. Ed

After 6 weeks I felt free

I went through Tina’s door feeling desperate, broken, confused and scared. Scared because I’m usually in control, happy and positive but life’s happenings took me to another place, a place I couldn’t understand or come out of. SFH has shown me how to understand and control my thoughts and put things into perspective of why I was feeling the way I was, Tina has given me the tools to take away,

I have and will continue to use them when ever my thoughts try to take me else where. Ten minutes with my GP and I was diagnosed with PTSD and given addictive medication, which exasperated my thoughts, I made my mind up to see Tina and it was the best decision. After 6 weeks I felt free, lighter and that big fog around me had lifted and most importantly with no medication brought me to this stage, SFH did. Thank you Tina again for helping me feel me again.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. "Is solution-focused hypnotherapy suitable for everyone?"

   SFH is generally suitable for most individuals. However, it's essential to consult with a qualified therapist to assess your specific needs and circumstances.

2. "What kind of things can solution-focused hypnotherapy help with?"

   SFH can assist with various issues, including stress, anxiety, phobias, weight management, smoking cessation, and improving sleep. It focuses on positive outcomes and solutions rather than dwelling on problems.

3. "What happens during a typical SFH session?"

   In a session, you'll discuss your goals and desired outcomes. The therapist will guide you into a relaxed state (trance) using gentle relaxation techniques. During this state, positive suggestions and visualizations are used to reinforce your desired changes.

4. "How does solution-focused hypnotherapy differ from traditional therapy?"

   Unlike traditional therapy, which often delves into past issues and explores problems, SFH concentrates on your desired future outcomes. It emphasizes practical strategies and positive changes, making it more goal-oriented and person-centered.

5. "What happens in trance?"

 Trance in SFH is a natural and safe state, and therapists work collaboratively with clients to achieve positive results. At the end of the session the therapist will play relaxing background music and gently guide you into a relaxed state, which is known as trance.  In this daydream-like state, your subconscious mind can reflect on the ideas discussed and focus on finding positive solutions.  Trance is a natural and safe state, where you remain in control and process helpful suggestions without any mind control.

6. "How many sessions does it take?"

  Typically it can take 8 to 12 sessions.  However, the exact number may vary based on the complexity of the challenges or sometimes change can happen more quickly with most clients achieving their desired results in just 6 sessions. Phobias tend to be 3 sessions, plus the initial consultation.
