CERTIFIED CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST

Feel calmer. Have more energy. Be present for the life you've been creating

If you look capable and confident on the outside but feel tense, wired or unable to switch off inside, you’re not alone.

When we work together as a team I help you to quieten the overthinking, build confidence, feel less exhausted and become more present in the life you’re creating- so you can get back to feeling like you.

Based in Surrey and online.

LET’S GET STARTED

This is me:

Hello! I’m Helen McAllister.

Coach, hypnotherapist, 15 years in corporate life, military wife, Mum of three & recovering over-thinker.

I’ve had my own experiences of crippling anxiety and self-doubt. I’ve struggled through burnout, and a very loud inner critic that wouldn’t switch off. The Sunday nights dreads and trying to hide it from friends & family, panic attacks that would come out of nowhere. 

I’ve been you.

Years ago I decided to focus on working on myself to become calmer, happier and more present in life. Trying many different types of therapy, working out what makes me happy, taking care of myself more. After experiencing hypnobirthing with my 3 children I explored hypnotherapy to support me with my anxiety and it was so refreshing- spending time looking forward rather than reliving the past and actually feeling my mind quietening was so helpful.  It’s what led me to training to become a hypnotherapist, and expanding knowledge in adult ADHD, women’s health, performance and the neuroscience of behaviours. I understand why ‘just relax’ doesn’t work for busy, wired brains.

Today I’m calmer, more confident and present in my life.

And I want to help you do the same.

Let's Talk!

Does this sound like you?

  • You love your life, but you’re too depleted to feel it.
  • You’re at the school gate, the dinner table or the weekend away, but your mind is somewhere else.
  • You get through the day on autopilot, then wonder where it went.
  • Your mind never fully switches off, even when everything is “fine”.
  • You look like you have it all together, but you feel tense, wired and exhausted underneath.
  • You snap at the people you love, then feel guilty about it.
  • You miss feeling like yourself.

If you nodded along to even one of these, you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time, and it’s no wonder you’re running on empty.

Kind Words of Praise

Curious about what it would be like working with me? Check out these reviews from clients who have worked with me in the past.

Working in a high pressure environment, juggling a sporadic career and busy family life can take its toll. I am also a self confessed perfectionist which can have a very negative effect on my wellbeing. I found it hard to switch off, let go of the past and was definitely too self critical. 
Helen helped find some space to switch off, reflect but also let go and look to the future. The tools she passed on helped me have a more positive outlook and I have taken those techniques into both my working life and home setting.
I can highly recommend Helen’s excellent approach to anyone feeling the same
GH

Helen is a kind “mind coach” (for want of a better description!) who very easily wins your trust and your belief in being able to make positive change.

I was able to open up to her about issues that I had not been able to previously share with my friends or family. Her process allowed me the mental space to start to examine my inner thoughts more objectively. Without fear of failure and most importantly in a safe place, I have been able to understand myself on a deeper level.

NC

Highly recommend Helen to anyone feeling midlife overwhelm.
Helen brought clarity and positivity to my situation, she taught me all the skills to help me move from feeling stuck to making positive changes in my life.
Helen is so kind and easy to work with and I thank her for helping me find joy in my life again.

    Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a positive, forward-looking approach that combines solution focused talking therapy with hypnosis. Rather than spending a lot of time analysing the past, we focus on where you want to be, what you would like to change and the practical steps that can help you move forward.

    Hypnosis is a deeply relaxed and focused state that can help you access different ways of thinking and responding. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy draws on principles from solution focused brief therapy, neuroscience and cognitive behavioural approaches.

    Hypnotherapy works with the part of your mind responsible for emotional responses and automatic behaviors, beliefs about yourself and your nervous systems sense of safety. Working together we can shift patterns at the subconscious level to be more present in the life you’re creating.

    I offer Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in Cobham, Esher, Oxshott, Weybridge and Guildford, as well as online hypnotherapy sessions for clients throughout the UK.

    Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process and it is important to understand that change happens because you want it to. Your commitment to the process is the difference that makes the difference. There are no guarantees.

    Solution focused hypnotherapy is commonly used for stress, anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, exhaustion, and burnout — particularly during midlife, when work, family, and caring responsibilities can leave little room to breathe. Clients often come to me searching for “hypnotherapy for stress and anxiety,” “hypnotherapy for burnout,” “hypnotherapy for anxiety,” or “how to I restore my confidence,” looking for support to feel calmer, more present, and more in control. It’s also widely used to build confidence and help people who feel “stuck” or disconnected from themselves. If you’re not sure whether it’s right for your situation, a free consultation is a good place to start

    Most clients have between 6 and 12 sessions, depending on what you’re working on, we will be led by you. Solution focused hypnotherapy is designed to be a relatively short-term, goal-oriented approach — the aim is to help you build lasting tools and resilience, not to create long-term dependency on sessions.

    Yes, hypnotherapy is safe, and no — you’re always in control. Trance is simply a deeply relaxed, focused state similar to daydreaming; you remain fully aware and can’t be made to do or say anything against your will. Most clients describe it as one of the most relaxing parts of their week.
