About Me

Hello, I’m a fully qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, Supervisor and NLP Master Practitioner. I specialise in helping individuals and organisations build calm, resilient, and mentally healthy lives where you can thrive.

“My work is focused on helping you understand how your brain works and finding a calmer way to live life”

I work with adults and young people who may be feeling anxious, have low 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, based on the latest neuroscience research, we also talk about how the brain works when we are under stress, anxious, sad or angry. 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 recognise even more so 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.

Helen led a brilliant guided relaxation session for our team. She instantly put everyone at ease, and the whole experience was calming, grounding, and uplifting. We all came away feeling lighter and more present. One of our favourite parts was the “what's been good” reflection. It's so easy to focus on the negatives, and this simple moment of positivity was a powerful reminder of how well we're doing. Would highly recommend Helen to any team or individual looking to slow down, reset, and reconnect.

I absolutely love the mid week online relaxation class. Its perfect to help de-stress, re-focus and of course feel calm and relaxed. The 'What's been good' from everyone is uplifting and helps with positivity. It definitely helps my sleep too on a Wednesday evening. Helen is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She is great at what she does and I cannot recommend highly enough.

Having a session with Helen of BrainWorks Hypnotherapy has been more helpful to me than I thought was possible. Dealing with the knock on mental and emotional impacts of living with a long term chronic health condition became very challenging and I needed specialist help. In so many ways Helen helped me make sense of what was happening with me and gave me some great tips to help me make some positive and lasting progress.
