Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy combines guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind, enabling positive behavioural changes. It addresses anxiety, phobias, and stress by replacing negative thought patterns with constructive suggestions. Clients benefit from tailored sessions that integrate psychotherapy and neuroscience, fostering emotional resilience and long-term mental well-being.
Psychotherapy
Solution-focused psychotherapy targets anxiety and stress through future-oriented strategies. By leveraging cognitive-behavioural techniques and neuroscience, it helps clients reframe negative thinking, develop coping mechanisms, and regain emotional control. Sessions prioritise practical solutions over past analysis, ensuring measurable progress towards mental wellness.
NLP
NLP explores the interplay between language, thought, and behaviour to overcome limiting beliefs. Techniques enhance communication, confidence, and goal-setting, addressing issues like anxiety and self-esteem. Tailored interventions empower clients to reprogram unhelpful mental patterns, fostering personal growth and emotional balance through structured, client-led therapy.
EFT
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) uses fingertip tapping on meridian points to resolve emotional distress. By combining physical stimulation with verbal affirmations, it alleviates anxiety, trauma, and stress. Clients learn self-help methods to manage cravings, improve mood, and restore emotional equilibrium, complementing other therapeutic approaches for holistic healing.
Counselling
Counselling provides a confidential space to explore emotional challenges, including grief, trauma, and depression. Person-centred and CBT-informed approaches ensure non-judgmental support, helping clients articulate feelings and develop coping strategies. The focus is on building self-awareness and resilience, enabling clients to navigate lifes difficulties with renewed clarity and confidence.

I can't thank Debbie enough. I went to Debbie as my anxiety was extremely high from work and had no self-confidence from this. While in each session we talked through difficult things, I looked forward to my session every week because I knew I would feel so much better afterwards. Debbie is so kind, empathetic and really listens. Unlike previous experiences, I am still using the tools and techniques Debbie taught me to make sure me anxiety is under control.

I came to Debbie as I'd heard great things about hypnosis and wanted to try it for my anxiety. Debbie gave me great insights into the brain and how it works. We then developed my reframing of situations and it has helped me greatly. Along with the session I was given an audio to do in my own time and I still use this. I would highly recommend giving it ago.

I have tried different talking therapies in the past and I admit I was apprehensive of this type of therapy. The anxiety and phobias I have controlled my life, stopping me from living, so I thought there was no harm in trying hypnotherapy. The sessions have been so beneficial to me and I have seen a change in myself, I am a lot less stressed and events that would have previously caused panic attacks and emotional breakdowns I can now easily brush off.
Not only feeling better in myself I have managed to put the work to test with nervous flying after having a traumatic flight, I did have some doubts that a panic attack would appear however I completely enjoyed the long distance travelling something I have never been able to before and without any medication. I would really recommend Debbie as she is easy to speak to and so calming. Each session focuses on positivity and learning about the brain and how it works - which has really given me an understanding and helped me feel better about my diagnosed conditions. I come away from each session motivated and relaxed. I am excited for further sessions that I am planning to use for different challenging areas of my life.

So I was apprehensive of seeking help from anyone to be honest, but I read all the reviews of Debbie's work and booked a session. At the time I was stressed to the hilt, worrying about my career, future, finance and it was impacting my family. But after only a few sessions with Debbie, I have my confidence, drive fully back, and more importantly an inner calm I didn't have before. I can't recommend her work highly enough, and wouldn't hesitate recommending Great Minds to anyone!

I was sceptical about the process initially, but desperately needed to try something new. Once you commit to the process and do the work, Debbie commits to helping you and the rest is history..... a real life changing experience for me, and I cant thank her enough.
