AWARD-WINNING
Solution-Focused
Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy

in bristol & worldwide

Solution focused  psychotherapy & hypnotherapy is a powerful pairing - using evidence based tools to  help you get back on track and feel more in control of yourself and your life.

We work together to help you shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns - so daily life starts to feel lighter.

You might be here because…

  • your mind feels busy and you’re finding it hard to switch off

  • anxiety or low mood is starting to affect daily life and your relationships

  • stress is building and you’re running on empty

  • your relationships feel like they are suffering

  • you want to feel more grounded and in control again

  • you’re looking for a calm, empowering form of therapy that helps you move forwards

My approach gives you space to untangle your thoughts, to slow down and understand what’s going on in your mind and body, and build steadier patterns that support you - and your relationships - day to day.

I can support you in building more self-confidence and self-trust into your life. During the sessions, I create a space in which we are equals, working together as a therapeutic partnership to best support you. 

 

I am myself in the sessions; mostly I'll listen and ask questions as well as share some brain/psychological education where relevant, and I'll share relaxing clinical hypnosis to help you to process your experiences. I also bring humour to the sessions, as this can be such an empowering way to share together.

ABOUT MARIANNE

Marianne Swift hypnotherapist_edited_edited (1).jpg

I'm Marianne;
aN AWARD-WINNING clinical hypnotherapist, psychotherapist and trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator.

Welcome! I'm really glad you're here.

 

Many clients of mine are surprised at how fast-acting and transformational solution-focused hypnotherapy can be.

This gentle yet powerful therapy really resonates with me, as a human and a therapist - I see the impact it has on a daily basis. We work together to support you in exploring your feelings and behaviours (and any changes you wish to make), helping you to rekindle your spark, feel more motivated and grow your resilience.

We help you to find ways to live with greater ease and confidence, in a way that is just right for you - through talking therapy and gentle hypnosis.

 

I know how much courage it takes to contact a therapist for the first time. With this in mind, I consciously strive to hold a friendly, warm,  inclusive and safe space for my clients to be heard and valued.

As an experienced therapist, and trauma-sensitive yoga teacher, one of the aspects I love the most is working collaboratively with my clients.  We work together to help you develop your own robust "toolkit" - to help you develop greater self-worth, resilience and a sense of being able to trust yourself and your decisions.

 

This then becomes your toolkit for life.
