About Me
Hello, I’m Helen Brimson, founder of BrainWorks and a fully qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner. I specialise in helping individuals and organisations build calm, resilient, and mentally healthy lives through a forward-looking, evidence-based approach.
“My work is focused on helping you understand how your brain works”
I help people find their way forward. As a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist, I work with adults and young people who may be feeling anxious, low in mood, overwhelmed, or lacking confidence, supporting them to make positive, practical changes.
Instead of focusing on the past, we explore where you want to be and the small, achievable steps that will help you get there. I combine solution-focused therapy with hypnotherapy, grounded in neuroscience, and we discuss how the brain works when you feel stuck. Understanding what’s happening in your mind can help you make sense of your experiences, reduce self-blame, and see a way forward. This approach can calm the mind, ease stress, and strengthen more helpful ways of thinking, helping you feel more in control, clearer in your thinking, and ready to embrace life.
Having worked with neurodivergent individuals, I understand that everyone experiences the world differently. I tailor each session to you as an individual, creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. You know your life best; my role is to guide and help you build on your strengths.
For those navigating high-pressure work environments, I support you to reduce stress, improve resilience, and rebuild confidence, helping you perform effectively while maintaining wellbeing.
I’m also a qualified Solution-Focused Supervisor, supporting therapists and other professionals to reflect on their practice, recognise strengths, and focus on constructive progress.
Whether I’m working with individuals or teams, my goal is the same: to help you move from feeling stuck to feeling capable, from overwhelmed to balanced, and from doubting yourself to trusting your ability to move forward.
I offer sessions online and in person in Bristol and North Somerset, providing flexible and accessible support tailored to your needs.
