HOW I CAN HELP
Support for life's ups and downs
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, or looking to make a positive change, sessions are always tailored to your individual goals
When life has felt demanding for a long time, it's easy to become emotionally and physically exhausted. You may find yourself running on empty, struggling to switch off at night or simply feeling unlike yourself.
Solution-focused hypnotherapy offers a calm space to pause, reflect, and begin looking forward again. Together we'll focus on your strengths, explore what feeling better would look like for you, and take practical steps towards feeling calmer, sleeping more peacefully, and reconnecting with yourself.
Fears can quietly shape our lives, leading us to avoid situations or experiences we'd rather face with confidence.
Whether it's a lifelong fear or something that has developed more recently, it doesn't have to stay that way.
Using a solution-focused approach, we'll work together to reduce the hold that fear has over you. Sessions are tailored to your individual goals, helping you build confidence and feel more able to move through life with greater ease.
When our minds are constantly busy, it's easy to become caught in cycles of worry, overthinking, or self-doubt. Anxiety and stress can leave us feeling overwhelmed, while low confidence can make it difficult to trust ourselves and move forward.
Solution-focused hypnotherapy combines practical conversation with relaxation and hypnosis techniques to help quiet the mind, build resilience, and strengthen confidence. The aim isn't to change who you are, but to help you feel more like yourself again.
Available from August 2026 onwards
I'm currently completing the next stage of my clinical training. Smoking cessation will be available from August, with weight management following in September.
If you'd like to be one of my first clients, you're welcome to book a free consultation and reserve a place.
ABOUT ME
Here to help you feel more like yourself again
Hi, I'm Alexia, and I'm currently training in Clinical Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy with The Clifton Practice. I offer free online and in-person sessions from Ramsgate as part of my professional training, under supervision.
Life can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from the person we want to be - or the person we remember ourselves being. You may be keeping everything going on the outside, while inside feeling that something needs to change.
I understand that feeling personally.
My interest in hypnotherapy became deeply personal during a time when life felt as though it had been put on hold. After stepping back from my career to care for an elderly relative, I experienced an extended period of creative block and found myself feeling stuck. Hypnotherapy helped me reconnect with the sense of possibility and move forward with greater confidence. That experience inspired me to train so that I could offer similar support to others.

I chose Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy because it looks towards where you'd like to go, rather than keeping you anchored in the past. Together, we'll focus on your strengths, explore what you'd like life to look like, and take practical steps towards lasting change.
As a student practitioner, I offer sessions under professional supervision. I am fully insured, hold an Enhanced DBS certificate, and am a student member of the Association for Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy and the National Hypnotherapy Society.
My hope is that The Harbour Practice can be a place where you can pause, gather your bearings, and begin moving forward again.
KIND WORDS
'' From our very first session, Alexia made me feel completely comfortable, listened to, and at ease.
Since working with her, I've noticed a real positive change in my everyday life. I feel more like myself again, happier overall and better able to manage life's ups and downs. The sessions have also given me practical tools that I can use outside our time together, and I've always felt supported and encouraged.
I genuinely look forward to each session and come away feeling lighter, calmer and more optimistic. Alexia has such a warm, caring approach, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering solution focused hypnotherapy.''

'' I had a really good experience working with Alexia. Booking and scheduling my online sessions was smooth and easy. Alexia was warm and professional, and I felt she really listened to my concerns. I feel much more relaxed overall and better equipped to handle everyday stress. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for help with stress and anxiety."

'' Alexia's hypnotherapy sessions are inspiring, helpful and beautiful. Having worked with her in consecutive sessions for a few months, I found her presence and the dialogues we had insightful. She can always gently guide you to understand yourself and your situation better, as well as to reflect on how to move forward in an encouraging, empowering way. Additionally, I have enjoyed the trance element of Alexia's sessions very much. It creates a safe, relaxing environment and calming state of mind, which I felt was extremely powerful in easing stressful moments and coping with different situations."

'' I can't recommend Alexia highly enough. From the first session, she created a welcoming, professional, and completely supportive space, she helped me identify the root causes of my underlying anxiety and stress with real insight and genuine compassion. I initially found the whole process to be challenging, but with her guidance and amazing focused trance work both in person and online, I can honestly say after 8 weeks, I feel calmer, clearer on the things that matter to me, and more in tune with myself. She's knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares. I'll definitely keep working with her, and would recommend her to anyone considering hypnotherapy."

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some common questions about solution-focused hypnotherapy and booking a consultation
What is solution-focused hypnotherapy?
Solution-focused hypnotherapy is a positive, forward-looking approach that combines practical conversation with relaxation and hypnosis techniques.
Rather than spending time revisiting the past, we focus on where you would like to be and the small, realistic steps that can help you move towards that. Sessions are designed to help calm the mind, reduce stress, and support you in making changes with greater confidence.
It's a collaborative process, always tailored to you and what you'd like to be different. This means you will be actively involved in therapeutic conversation, identifying goals, recognising progress and considering small steps towards change; the trance supports this work rather than replacing it.
What happens in a typical session?
Solution focused hypnotherapy is a form of talking therapy supported by trance. Each regular session has two important parts.
We begin with a structured, solution-focused therapeutic conversation. We will explore what has been going well, identify progress, and discuss the small steps that could help you move towards your goals.
The session then finishes with guided trance. This is a calm, focused state that supports relaxation and helps reinforce the positive ideas discussed during the session.
Hypnosis or trance is not offered as a stand-alone treatment within these sessions. The therapeutic conversation and trance work together as part of a complete approach.
Can hypnotherapy help me?
Hypnotherapy can support people with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, low confidence, poor sleep, fears, phobias, and unwanted habits.
Everyone is different, so the initial consultation gives us time to talk about what you would like support with and whether solution-focused hypnotherapy feels like the right approach for you.
It's not a passive approach or about promising quick fixes. It is about helping you feel calmer, more in control, and better able to move towards the changes you would like to make.
What happens in the initial consultation?
The initial consultation lasts around an hour. It gives us a time to talk through what you'd like support with, gather relevant background information, and decide whether solution-focused hypnotherapy feels like the right approach for you.
I'll also explain how stress and anxiety can affect the brain, mood, sleep and patterns of behaviour, so you understand how the work we do together can help.
The initial consultation also allows us to discuss what the full sessions involve, clarify your expectations of hypnosis and decide together whether this collaborative approach is the right fit.
Afterwards, I'll send you a relaxation audio to support sleep and general relaxation between sessions, and to help you become familiar with my voice.
There is no hypnosis during our initial meeting.
Do I need to prepare beforehand?
No. We can discuss any concerns in your initial consultation. There are some things to consider if you're having online sessions, like making sure you are somewhere quiet and undisturbed and where you can either sit or lay down so your head is supported during the trance. But we can discuss these when we meet.
Will I be in control during hypnosis?
Yes.
Throughout hypnosis, you remain aware and in control. Trance is a natural state of focused attention and relaxation - similar to becoming completely absorbed in a TV programme or daydreaming while driving a familiar route. You won't be unconscious, or be made to do anything against your will. You'll hear everything I say and can choose to end the session at any time.
Most people describe hypnosis, or trance, as feeling deeply relaxed while remaining fully aware of what's happening around them.
How quickly might I notice a difference? How many sessions will I need?
For general low mood, stress and anxiety, we recommend 8-12 sessions; however, sometimes more. Certain conditions, like some phobias and smoking/vaping cessation, are treated differently and are usually resolved in a shorter period of time.
Are sessions online or in person?
I offer both online and in-person sessions in Ramsgate. There is no difference to the effectiveness of the treatment and some people prefer the ease and convenience of receiving sessions online.
Are sessions really free?
Whilst I am training, sessions are completely free and I am fully supervised by my training provider, The Clifton Practice. I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS check and am a student member of both the National Hypnotherapy Society and the Association of Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy.
Is everything I say confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is always maintained, except in the following circumstances:
Where supervision is required as part of my professional training
Where there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others
Where disclosure is required by law
Take the first Step
