Hi, I’m Tina—a proud grandmother of three and someone who has walked my own path through life’s ups and downs. I won’t pretend I’ve always handled things perfectly. However, I will tell you this: I’ve grown through my experiences, and they’ve shaped the person I am today.
My journey in mental health nursing began in 1999, and what a journey it’s been! Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible people, facing challenges, celebrating victories, and learning more than I ever imagined. Now, at 62, instead of slowing down, I find myself in what I call my pre-retirement warm-up phase—a stage where my passion for helping others remains stronger than ever.
Why Learning About The Brain Matters To Me
The Brain: Our Greatest Untapped Resource
If there’s one thing that never ceases to amaze me, it’s the brain. Not just because it’s the most complex structure in the known universe, but because so few people realise just how much control they can have over it.
Your brain isn’t just a lump of grey matter sitting inside your skull. It’s the control centre for everything you think, feel, and do. And here’s the good news—it’s not fixed. Far from it. Thanks to neuroplasticity, your brain is constantly adapting, rewiring itself in response to your experiences, thoughts, and actions. In other words, change is always possible.
How Hypnotherapy Helps Rewire the Brain
Hence, this is where solution-focused hypnotherapy comes in. Think of your brain like a well-worn pathway. For instance, if you’ve been walking the same route for years, it becomes automatic. This is even if it’s leading you to somewhere you don’t want to go. Hypnotherapy helps you forge new, more helpful pathways. It’s like upgrading an old, bumpy track into a smooth, fast road that takes you where you want to be.
With over two decades of experience in mental health, I know that real change isn’t just about managing symptoms. It’s about working with the brain, and not against it. Alternatively, helping people break free from old patterns and to build a future based on what works.
So, if you’re ready to take back the reins, I’d love to help. Because no matter where you’re starting from, change isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable when you give your brain the right conditions to thrive.
More About Me And The Brain
Becoming a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist wasn’t just a career move—it was a deliberate choice. Why? Because this approach is all about moving forward. Unlike traditional therapies that can feel like endlessly sifting through the past. Solution-focused Hypnotherapy is practical, positive, and the framework is built on what works.
I don’t see myself as an archaeologist of old problems—I’m an architect of possibilities, helping people design a future they want. Real change comes from empowerment, not advice. Furthermore, it’s not about telling people what to do; it’s about helping them unlock their potential.
That belief took root back in 1997 when I trained as a Youth and Community Worker. One phrase stuck with me:
“You can help someone build their life, but you cannot build it for them.”
And that’s exactly what I do now. I don’t hand out solutions—I create the conditions for people to rediscover their strength, resilience, and ability to move forward. Because no matter where you’re starting from, change is not just possible—it’s within reach.
From Mental Health Nursing to Hypnotherapy: A Natural Transition
After 25 years as a mental health nurse, one thing is crystal clear—understanding the brain is the key to lasting change. When you know how your brain works, you can work with it instead of feeling stuck in old patterns.
At Wrexham Hypnotherapy, I take a knowledge-based approach that combines:
✅ Neuroscience – How your brain shapes thoughts, emotions, and behaviours (and how to change them)
✅ Psychology – Evidence-based techniques that help you move forward
✅ Practical Strategies – Tailored to your unique challenges and goals
Think of it like adjusting a camera lens—first, we bring into focus what’s been holding you back. Then, we shift the focus to where you want to be. Because when you understand your mind, you can start using it to your advantage.
How It Works
🔹 Understanding Your Experience – We start by getting clear on what’s going on for you, your fears, hopes, and goals. No over-analysis, just a focus on what matters.
🔹 A Personalized Approach – No generic solutions here. We tailor a strategy that works for you.
🔹 Step-by-Step Change – Whether it’s breaking free from anxiety, building confidence, or overcoming habits, real progress comes from small, manageable steps that create lasting results.
Why Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?
Because it works. It’s not about endlessly dissecting the past—it’s about giving you the knowledge and tools to take control of your mind and move forward. I’ve seen this approach change lives time and time again, and I’m passionate about sharing it.
If you’re ready to take that first step, I offer a free initial consultation—no pressure, no obligation. Just a chance to explore how this can work for you.
