Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, Trainer and Clinical Supervisor-Sharon Dyke

I am a senior practitioner, fully qualified in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy. With over 16 years of clinical practice as both a therapist and clinical supervisor, alongside 35 years of experience in the Health and Social Care sector, I have led teams committed to supporting individuals with complex needs. Additionally, for the past 10 years, I have served as a professional regulator, ensuring the highest standards of care and compliance within the industry.

My interest in hypnotherapy began over 20 years ago while working closely with individuals experiencing mental health challenges, including trauma. After extensive research into positive psychology, it became clear to me that hypnotherapy, also known as positive mental rehearsal or guided relaxation, and the use of trance, could be a powerful tool for change. When offered as a therapeutic intervention, hypnotherapy can help individuals regain control of their lives. A core aspect of this approach is promoting positive thinking, positive interaction, and positive action to empower clients on their journey toward well-being.
