You can make the changes you want so that your life feels different and better. Using Cognitive Hypnotherapy we can work together to enable you to experience real change. My tailored approach uses a range of proven techniques to gently but clearly identify and respond to the actual root causes of your issues, whatever they are, rather than just generically treating your symptoms.

Whether you want freedom from anxiety, trauma and post traumatic stress disorder or to increase your confidence or self belief for example or to manage your anger or improve your relationships, it's easier than you might imagine. My individual approach creates lasting effects.

So why choose this type of hypnotherapy over others? Cognitive Hypnotherapy differs from traditional hypnotherapy because it draws on recent discoveries in Psychology, Cognitive Theory and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), incorporating them into a framework for highly effective therapy. From these different disciplines, we employ the best techniques for creating positive change in a person's behaviour.
Hypnosis is a state of mind that we all go in and out of on a daily basis, for example when we are really absorbed in a book or film or lost in our own thoughts on the drive to work. These are all trance like or hypnotic states. It is really a form of deep relaxation and its use has been well documented for thousands of years.
Fi has been an absolute dream! She has given me the confidence and inner strength to become the person that I am capable of becoming. I actually heard about Fi through a chance recommendation from someone I met on a plane to New Zealand many years ago. I am so grateful for that chance encounter. Fiona was nothing short of miraculous.
I have worked for many years with Jamie Oliver's Fifteen Apprentice Programme, supporting the apprentices to help free them from the learnt behaviours that have held them back from reaching their full potential.

Jamie Oliver founded the Fifteen Apprentice Programme with the core philosophy of using the magic of cooking to give young people, who've often faced enormous challenges in their lives, the opportunity to unlock their true talent through great training and mentoring.

Because my tailored approach uses a range of proven techniques to gently but clearly identify and respond to the actual root causes of your issues, rather than just generically treating your symptoms, this means that we can work together to free you from a wide range of issues from anxiety and lack of confidence or self belief through to PTSD, trauma or relationship issues.

I cannot recommend Fiona highly enough!
I sought her help during a very bleak period where my options were to go back on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication, which were clearly only a short-term fix, or to try something totally different.
Fiona taught me some very effective techniques for dealing with my anxiety and was able to help me see painful situations from a completely different perspective, which ultimately helped me to understand, accept and move on from them. We dug deep to get to the core of my issues rather than just dealing with the superficial symptoms.
Fiona is so friendly

It is always scary seeking out help, but Fiona made me feel comfortable straight away, coming across as very warm and inviting. I felt sessions with her were not a struggle and found it easy to talk about a whole manner of things.

I found Fiona via Google and glad that I did! I was a little out of sorts and feeling dragged down by various things including past stuff from childhood, parents relationship troubles, my own divorce a number of years ago and general feelings of inadequacy in life and work environment. I felt that I needed some guidance and help so got in touch with Fiona.
In only 3 sessions Fiona managed to help me to view things in a completely different way giving me the tools to feel at ease with my past and more positive about the present and future in my personal life, work and relationships.
Fiona is warm

My spouse spent 37 years traveling both domestically and internationally for his company. When he was due to retire, I knew we would have a challenging transition. I asked Fiona for help. She spent numerous hours at different times teaching me skills that would help change my attitude. She taught me how to look at things from a new perspective; one in which I could keep my independence and stand my ground, but do so in a kind way! I continue to use these skills every day! I will forever appreciate Fiona for this!

Several years ago I had to make a speech at a press call and, shortly afterwards, at a conference for many hundreds of people. Having never spoken in public before, I was terrified. The subject matter that I was to speak about meant a lot to me and I didn’t want to let others down by not taking the opportunity that had been offered. Knowing I needed help with this, I contacted Fiona. From the first session Fiona used her unique skills to uncover a childhood event that had caused my fear of public speaking (and a fear of failure), helping me to understand it and come to terms with it. It felt

My amazing session with Fiona Nicolson has changed so many things for me. I hadn't realized how much things were affecting me. Ms. Nicolson gave me a real boost and helped me deal with things in a much more possitive and productive way. I will always be greatful!

Could not recommend Fiona any more!! When I first saw her I was battling things in my head that I didn't even know were there. I'm coping a lot better in a lot of ways since seeing her. In only four sessions she has helped me combat something that I was struggling with for 8 years.
She has completely changed my relationship with myself, and those around me. My life is much better!

Fiona really helped me through a difficult time in my life to overcome anxiety and panic attacks. She is friendly, compassionate and extremely professional, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

After years of singing live I suddenly started getting stage fright and suffering from anxiety. Fiona was amazing. After a few sessions I had the tools to stop stage fright and the confidence back that I'd lost. Highly recommend Fiona to anyone and everyone! Very professional but super friendly.
