Lucy Collins
Hi I'm Lucy, a Solution Focused Trauma Informed Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist. I offer a kind, non-judgemental approach, taking the time to fully engage with, and understand those whom I work with, in order to offer the best support possible. I work with children (9+), teenagers and adults, and see people both in-person in Bristol and online.
I am passionate about what I do and have worked in therapeutic settings for over 9 years, working with adults and extensively with children and young people.
My approach is Neuroaffirming, with each individual's needs based at the centre of my practice. A large proportion of people that I work with identify as Neurodivergent, and not only do I have lots of experience in this field, I am also neurodivergent myself.
Hypnotherapy for Adults
If you are currently feeling held back by your anxiety or emotions, limited by your problems and beliefs about yourself I can help you to navigate through challenges in your life. Using a variety of tools, I can support you in creating a future where you feel more in control of your life, free from the focus of problems, and limiting beliefs from your past.
Using a Solution Focused approach, hypnotherapy can support you in processing emotions and reprogramming responses from past trauma, clearing anxious/depressive states, and rewiring emotional triggers, limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns.
Children and Young People
I have over 16 years experience working with children and young people. In addition to working as a Children's Hypnotherapist I have also worked in specialised roles with Neurodiverse children, and children with additional/social/emotional needs. I support children and young people in a nurturing and understanding way, and bringing a sense of curiosity in order to understand them and their individual needs, and allowing them to discover new ways of looking at life. My sessions are very adapted to an individuals needs.
Following hypnotherapy sessions most parents report that their children feel more relaxed, and are happier, more positive and more confident. To speak to me about your child's specific needs please call me or send an email.
I am also a trained Yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, with elements of Eastern philosophy being at the core of my hypnotherapy sessions: supporting you in aligning mind, body and soul, to uncover and live in accordance with your highest potential.
Additionally, before my therapeutic work I trained as a musical theatre performer, and enjoy extending my experience and knowledge to clients I work with now who wish to focus on performance based anxiety, public speaking/singing and confident expression.
