Making your brain a

nicer place to live.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, based in the Brecon Beacons

Sometimes you just know something needs to change…

A lot of people who get in touch have been feeling off for a while. It might be anxiety, low mood, broken sleep, a phobia, a habit they can't shift, or a performance block that keeps showing up at the worst moment. Sometimes it's harder to name than that - just a sense that life isn't quite how they'd like it to be.

Whatever's brought you here, you've probably already spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. And understanding it hasn't made it stop.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works differently. It's grounded in neuroscience, it doesn't ask you to dig around in the past, and it focuses entirely on where you want to get to - building on what's already working to help your brain start doing things differently.

You’re welcome to a free initial consultation whenever you feel ready - a relaxed chat to see what might help.

Hi, I’m Lorraine Sheppard…

Hypnotherapy helped me long before I understood why it worked. That gap - between something working and understanding the mechanism behind it - is what led me to train at the Clifton Practice, where this method was developed, and qualify in 2025.

I'm practical by nature. I worked in IT and accounts before this, I need things to make sense, and I have no time for anything that feels like smoke and mirrors. Which is probably why I find the neuroscience behind this so compelling - and why I think it's important that the people who come to see me understand it too.

I'm based at Capel Farm near Llangorse in the Brecon Beacons. I'm a mum, a walker, and I'm accredited with the NCH.

What to Expect When You Work with Me

We'd start with a free initial consultation - a relaxed conversation where I explain how everything works and you can ask whatever you want. No pressure, no commitment, no awkward silences. Just a chance to see if it feels like a good fit.

Sessions are around 60 minutes. We begin with a conversation - what's been going well however small, and what you'd like to be different. Then comes the hypnosis: guided relaxation with a purpose. You stay aware throughout, you're always in control, and most people find it the most genuinely relaxing hour of their week.

Why Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Can Help You Move Forward

Most of us already have some understanding of why we feel the way we do. We may know where it started, what triggers it, what it connects to. But understanding the why doesn't always make it stop - and that gap between knowing and feeling better is exactly where a lot of people get stuck.

That's what makes this approach different. We don't spend time going back over it. We start from where you are now - what's working, what a good day looks like, what you'd like more of - and we build from there. The hypnosis helps your brain consolidate those shifts. When you're deeply relaxed, you're less stuck in old patterns and more open to new ones. It sounds simple, and in a way it is - but the neuroscience behind it is solid, and the changes people experience are real.

I've worked with people dealing with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, phobias, habits they can't shift, and confidence that's taken a knock. The thread running through all of it is the same: your brain is more capable of change than you probably think.
