ABOUT ME

Deborah Whittingham, Dip.Hyp

Hello, and a warm welcome to Change Here.

I am a clinical hypnotherapist working online with people around the globe. People like you - looking to reduce anxiety, increase confidence, lose weight, shake habits, overcome fears, change unwanted behaviours, or deal with other life challenges.

Daughter, sister, wife, mother, step-mother, grandmother, and friend: I am proud to have supported and guided many people through life's most defining seasons.

My education didn't come from textbooks, but from a life fully and deeply lived. Truly, there isn't much life hasn't thrown at me, and it is this rich, first-hand experience that allows me to meet you you with absolute, non-judgemental understanding.

I know how heavy and complicated life can be because I have navigated those storms myself. Alongside my family, I have walked through the painful realities of childhood trauma, emotional abuse, relationship breakdowns, and complex mental health difficulties and disabilities. I am also intimately familiar with the profound weight of

grief, from the heartache of bereavement to the long, emotional path of elderly care and parental palliative care.

Yet, my journey has also been beautifully shaped by growth, nurturing, and connection. I bring to my practice the resilience of personal weight loss success, the compassion of animal rescue, and a career dedicated to helping others flourish through childcare, adult education, and teaching English language and literature.

Now, hypnosis brings a lifetime of shared humanity, resilience, and empathy together. It gives me the unique opportunity to help so many with so much, meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you to write your own story for the future.

And this is my final chapter: to help as many people, as much as possible, for as long as possible.

I understand that each and every one of us has a story making us who we are and, all too often, the weight of the limiting personal beliefs we carry with us are incredibly restricting. I believe that everyone deserves to break free from these beliefs, creating a confident and purposeful future, filled with positivity and self-belief.

We can't re-write our past, but we can create our future!

So far, my story has been colourful - the brightness of childhood, growth and passion, the deep tones of adulthood, responsibility and love, and the muted shades of disappointment, grief and solitude - a rainbow of recovery and resilience that has brought me to the here and now.

Today, I am a spectrum of empowerment and growth. I have rewritten my future and, as I head into my best chapter yet, hypnotherapy has taught me how - through the power of the subconscious mind - we each have the ability to write our own stories, improving psychological and physical well-being and achieving our personal goals.

Hypnotherapy makes it a possibility - together we can make it YOUR reality!
