FND Support Sessions, Coaching and Hypnotherapy

I offer support in a range of formats, including one-to-one sessions, regular support groups and educational programmes.

When you book your discovery call we can meet and explore the type of support that may be most helpful for you.

FND support sessions

Specialist guidance for people living with Functional Neurological Disorder. Support focused on understanding your nervous system, building confidence, reducing symptoms and regaining control.

The positive changes in our daughter have been wonderful to see. She seems much calmer, more confident, and better able to manage the challenges she faces day to day. It's rare to find someone who even knows about FND, let alone specialises in it.

Coaching

Personalised sessions designed to support your wellbeing and management of symptoms, using practical, sustainable tools from mindfulness, CBT, and polyvagal-informed approaches to help you build safety, balance, and inner resources in everyday life.

The individual sessions supported me in every way: I felt understood and always received practical tools that helped me.

Hypnotherapy

Subconscious-focused work (similar to relaxation) to reframe unhelpful patterns, support the brain's learning processes, work towards reducing how intense and how frequent symptoms are, and build confidence. Sessions use personalised scripts tailored to what helps you feel calm, safe and supported. Many people find it especially helpful with functional seizures.

I listen to her hypnosis every night, and it helps me feel calmer, more positive, and more in control. Over time, I've noticed that my confidence has grown, and I've learned better ways to manage my symptoms.

Questions people often ask

How long is a session?

Every session is one hour. Prices for single sessions and for packs are listed above.

What happens in a session?

Sessions combine coaching, psychoeducation and hypnotherapy, depending on each person's symptoms and needs. During sessions we work with practical, sustainable tools drawn from CBT-informed and polyvagal-informed approaches and mindfulness. Pack sessions are weekly, and after each one you receive an email with a session summary, handouts and resources.

What is the hypnotherapy part like?

It is subconscious-focused work, very similar to relaxation. The scripts are personalised to what helps you feel calm, safe and supported. Session recordings are available for an extra £25.

Do you run group sessions and courses?

Yes, I run weekly and monthly group sessions as well as courses. You can join the groups and get the course material through my Patreon.

Can we work in Spanish, and how do we start?

Yes, I work in English and in Spanish. The first step is a 15 minute call, where we talk about what is going on for you and I share with you how I can help you.
