Hi, I’m Lorraine Sheppard…
…a little bit about me and why I’m so passionate about mental health and the journey I’m currently on.
Have you ever wondered why our minds sometimes feel like they’re working against us, why thoughts spiral, feelings overwhelm, and we get stuck in patterns we don’t want? That curiosity about the human mind has stayed with me my whole life.
Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I worked in IT and accounts. That background taught me to be practical, detail-oriented, and solution-focused, skills I now bring to helping people find positive ways forward.
My passion for mental health grew from personal experience. I’ve faced anxiety and depression and know how isolating they can feel. But I’ve also discovered something life-changing: real, lasting change is possible - often sooner than you’d expect.
That’s why I love being a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. This approach is positive and empowering, it builds on your strengths and looks to the future, not the past. I feel privileged to help people uncover their resources and create lasting change. Many clients say they feel lighter, more hopeful, and in control after just a few sessions. Together, we work as a team, with you leading the way, because no one knows your life better than you.
I’m proud to have trained at the Clifton Practice — where this powerful method was born, giving me a solid foundation in a proven approach that works.
Outside of therapy, I’m a mum of two lively boys who keep me smiling every day. I love walking the Brecon Beacons, listening to podcasts, and learning wherever I can. I bring that same curiosity, positivity, and warmth to every session.
If you’re ready to take positive steps towards lasting change, I’d love to support you on your journey. You matter. Your future matters. And together, we can make it brighter.
