About me
Hypnotherapy, Coaching and Mentoring
At Tranquil Minds, I offer coaching and mentoring style therapy, alongside hypnotherapy.
​
This is offered face to face and online to suit your needs, and to fit flexibly around your commitments.
​
I'm a Master Practitioner of both Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and Hypnotherapy.
​
NLP is the single best way to take control of your own mind, and consistently achieve your goals. Not just while we work together, but for life. You'll gain the tools and insight to enable you to utilise the skills and gifts you already posses, add to these, and use them to maximum effect.
​
I've helped professionals understand where they want to go in their career (and how to get there), enabled people to overcome anxiety, removed the desire to eat certain foods, removed night time problems such as teeth grinding.
Hypnosis is an excellent tool that often assists with removing a problem, and enabling individuals to let go of worry, anxiety and past traumas.
​
If you'd like to discuss something that's bothering you, or you'd like help achieving a goal, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch to arrange a free 30 minute consultation.

Hypnotherapy & NLP
Hypnosis
One of the most important things that you'll learn about hypnosis, is that all hypnosis is "self-hypnosis". For hypnosis to be effective, you must accept what is being suggested to you. Which means you're in absolute control.
Once you know that you're in control, you can feel free to relax, and allow your unconscious mind to do the real work; because this is where all change takes place.
​
Neurolinguistic Programming NLP
Neurolinguistic Programming, commonly referred to as NLP is used to great effect to enable individuals to understand how their mind works, consciously and unconsciously, which then allows you to take absolute control of whatever your goals for life are.
For some this is overcoming anxiety, for others this is achieving a goal - and even establishing what the goal is.
Once you learn how to take control of your own mind, there is no way to unlearn this powerful skill.
​
Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are often the cause of many of our behaviours that we wish we could change. Together we can work together to identify these, and change them.
An example of a limiting belief could be, "I just can't stop eating chocolate. Once it's open I have to finish it". We can change that.
Goal setting
Did you know that it's possible to install a strategy for success? Top athletes use the principles of NLP to install a sports strategy for the most effective way to take a penalty, run the fastest mile, swim the perfect stroke.
Whatever your goals, you can use this, and many other techniques to achieve whatever you want.
Anxiety
Hypnosis and NLP combined are an effective way to understanding the causes of anxiety, and how you can manage this differently.
In our sessions you'll learn about yourself, and how you process the environment around you, and why this may sometimes lead you to a negative experience - and crucially, how to change that.
Behavioural change
Behavioural change refers to things like smoking cessation, dietary change, self talk and so much more.
Self talk is how you talk to yourself. You hear yourself more than you hear anyone else, the practice of learning how to do that to best effect can be transformative and is best done in conjunction with other NLP techniques, and even better when embedded with hypnosis.
Testimonials
Sue, Leeds, Sept 23
“I came to Amy at Tranquil Minds Therapy in early September. I was grinding my teeth at night. My dentist had told me I'd need a mouth guard to protect my teeth. I decided to try hypnotherapy - as an alternative. It worked! I haven't had jaw ache since. I'd like to thank you so much. You made me feel very welcome, and put me at ease. I don't need to get a mouth guard now! Thank you again."

"My dietary weakness has always been white bread in its many forms. For as long as I can recall it was my go to food when I was in a hurry, when I was cold, when I was needing a pick-me-up, actually anytime. Virtually every meal involved bread, and the problem with that was that it was accompanied by butter and various unhealthy toppings. This also had an impact on my weight and bloating was common. So, when Amy mentioned her approach to changing a mindset, I was intrigued and wondered if it could work for me. On the day we met, Amy made me feel very comfortable and took me through the process.
That was 4 months ago. I haven't eaten any white bread in that time. Why? I just don't want to, my way of thinking has been changed, I'm not repulsed by it or fearful of it- I just don't want it. Something incredible happened and I can't praise Amy high enough for the impact she has had on me.
Anne, Headteacher, and a no-bread eater"

"I came to Amy at the beginning of September 2023, to help me with anxiety episodes I was having. Amy reassured me that I don't have to live my life always "overthinking", and creating heightened scenarios [of what might happen]. She has helped me train my mind to process things and manage my anxiety before it gets to an extreme level. This has helped me not only in my personal life, but in my work life too. I feel more in control of my emotions and all round a happier person to be around! Thanks Amy :) "
