Meet the therapist
My name is Toby, and I am a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist based in Stoke-on-Trent. Here you can see me beaming with pride on the day I graduated from my hypnotherapy training programme, and would you look at that, they even rolled out the red carpet for us!
When I first started my training, I could not have imagined the ways it would change my life, and lives of the people around me.
I graduated from Keele University with a degree in Human Biology and Psychology, and I was searching for my next adventure when I came across the Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy Training Academy.
I wanted to find a practical application for the science I learned at university, to use it as a tool to help others. During my first year of my degree, I was severely depressed and battling Generalised Anxiety Disorder, so I understand how important it is to receive the proper support when we are struggling with our mental health.
When I started my hypnotherapy training, I was excited to get stuck in. So when they asked for a volunteer to demonstrate how hypnotherapy can be used to conquer phobias, I raised my hand.
I walked away from that class and found that my lifelong fear of craneflies (often called ‘daddy long-legs’ spiders) was gone. As an avid festival-goer, I was able to enjoy all the glorious mud and mess of Bearded Theory 2024 without giving a thought to the bugs fluttering about the lights for the first time.
That’s when I realised how powerful and transformative hypnotherapy can be, and I knew I wanted to share this with others.
I provide hypnotherapy sessions to help my clients reduce their anxiety, boost their self-confidence, and lift their mood. I also help people to overcome their specific fears, just as I overcame mine!
All sessions are held online, so they are accessible to as many people as possible.
Plus, I get to spend more time with my beautiful cats, Mikey (the tortoiseshell) and Maud (the lucky black cat).
For your peace of mind…
I trained with the UK's leading Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Training provider (SFTA), I am fully insured to practice, and I have an enhanced DBS certificate.
I am also a proud member of both the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, as well as the National Register of Psychotherapists and Counsellors. If you would like to find out more about these organisations, you can click on their logos to view their websites.
