Meet Amanda Quail
In 2023, I trained with the prestigous Clifton Practice to become a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, transitioning from a 20 year teaching career in Primary Education, both in mainstream and ASN. My journey into hypnotherapy was inspired by my personal struggle with a pain and a short period of subsequent depression.
While traditional medicine provided limited solace, my curiosity grew about the brain's interplay with pain and the power of the subconscious. Delving into neuroscience, I became convinced that if certain factors exacerbated my condition, there was potential in the mind to reverse and heal. This conviction to ‘free my mind’ drove me to help others harness the mind's potential for healing. More research lead me to the enlightening realisation that I had more control over my recovery than what I first thought. As part of my own therapeutic process, an incredibly important question was proposed to me... ‘If things were different for you, what would that look like?’
Starting with this answer, this is where my recovery journey began and where yours will too.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy uses guided hypnosis to achieve a focused state similar to daydreaming. This state bypasses the conscious mind, engaging the logical and positive parts of the brain. Over time, it promotes positive thinking patterns, balances brain chemistry, and empowers behavioral changes by leveraging internal resources.
Why Hypnotherapy?
Many turn to hypnotherapy after trying other remedies for anxiety, depression, and pain. Hypnotherapy ignites the brain's creative side, enabling a balanced perspective and promoting positive, logical behavior. It empowers us to embrace life, enjoy experiences, and feel self-worth.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution-focused therapy emphasises positive thinking and present fulfilment to naturally process emotions, letting go of the past. It celebrates progress, highlights inherent strengths, and empowers individuals to independently resolve issues both now and in the future.

Hypnosis Audios
Enjoy our MP3's, designed specifically for your relaxation.
Trying a hypnotherapy MP3 can be a good introduction to the process. These recordings will guide you into a relaxed state.
It's good practice to use these recordings in a safe, comfortable environment where you won't be disturbed.
The Initial Consultation
This session gives us the opportunity to meet in a relaxed environment, via Zoom or in a clinic setting, to establish if the therapy is a suitable option for you. It also gives me the opportunity to explain how I would work with your needs in more detail.
The session involves some information gathering and then a very relatable brain explanation, rooted in neuroscience which will help explain why you feel the way you do and, crucially, what I can do to help you. Through your knowledge of the brain, solution-focused hypnotherapy encourages you to make shifts in how you think and create new neural pathways.
Please note, no hypnosis takes place during the initial consultation but in EVERY session thereafter.
Moreover, all information given is treated in the utmost confidence and you will be treated in a friendly and professional manner and with respect.
As a member of the NCH I adhere to their codes of conduct. I am also a member of the AfSFH
*Please Note: no hypnosis takes place during the initial consultation and is £65 of charge if held via Zoom
