Susan Gillies

I am a fully qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist. Based in Edinburgh, I can offer local face-to-face consultations as well as online sessions. I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation to discuss the benefits of hypnotherapy and how it can help. Please feel free to get in touch. I have over 30 years of experience as a registered nurse, fostering a deep understanding of both physical and mental health. For many years as a specialist nurse in intensive care and occupational health, I worked with mental health both in the clinical and occupational health settings. I always practiced empathy with my clients, client empowerment, positive reinforcement and goal setting. I believe in the holistic approach to physical and mental health wellbeing, which encouraged me to enhance my years of experience to a different level. I came across Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT) and from the very beginning was inspired and motivated in this practice of solution-focused hypnotherapy. Is stress, overwhelming feelings, panic attacks, social isolation, or persistent anxiety affecting your daily life? Do you struggle with sleep disorders, diminished confidence, and low self-esteem, hindering your personal and professional performance? Perhaps Irritable Bowel Syndrome is impacting your quality of life, or you're seeking support to quit smoking. Our contentment in life and overall well-being is frequently disrupted by negative thoughts and engrained behavioural patterns, making it difficult for us to navigate and cope with various challenges or day-to-day life. The good news is that change is possible. Explore how The Phoenix Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can assist you in developing resilience and making lasting positive changes. My commitment is to provide clients with the knowledge, understanding, and support needed to embark on their journey toward the positive transformations they seek. The process is gentle, relaxing, and transformative, fostering a path towards well-being and fulfilment.
