Hypnotherapy etc

Working together to find practical solutions for life’s challenges

Welcome to Hynotherapy etc. We are Sue & Russell Thackeray, both hypnotherapists based in Ponteland, the MetroCentre & Hexham. We offer both face to face and online appointments.

Hypnotherapy is a safe, gentle, natural and relaxing technique that can help you make significant changes to your life by enabling your subconscious mind to consider and change deep-rooted negative beliefs and habits.

It doesn’t have to take forever to get results. If you want to make a change in your life, we can help!

Call Sue now on 07974 422003 or Russell on 07770 811352 or use the contact form below for your free consultation.

We each have different skill sets - Sue is a hypnotherapist and coach. She uses her extensive life experience to offer practical solutions around pain and weight management and help remedy and manage anxiety and fears.

Russell uses a rage of therapies to help with significant life challenges including childhood trauma and abuse, severe anxiety, addiction, PTSD, identity issues, stress, phobias. Russell also has specific expertise in the Trans and non conforming communities.

Both of us coach and help people with relationships and can mediate personal and organisational conflict and distress.

We both believe in a practical approach, avoiding ‘white-coat’ jargon and pseudo-waffle…! We usually arrange an initial telephone chat to tailor our approach to you specific issues - rather than selling you an ‘off the shelf’ package of ‘stuff’..! That chat also doubles as a free consultation so you can find out more and ask us anything you want. The most frequent question we get is: “can you help with……”

We also now offer Willpower Groups and Online Self Hypnosis courses - why not contact us to find out more…?

We believe in cutting through the difficulties to help enable you to find practical solutions for life and the challenges it may throw at you - from work to home - or from individual or family/relationship issues.

We help deal with a range of conditions including:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Stress

  • Fears & Phobia (including insects, flying, heights - you name it…!)

  • FOMO

  • Burnout

  • Pain Management

  • Performance Issues

  • Relationships

  • Imposter Syndrome

We also have specific expertise in diet and nutrition as well as dream therapy and getting a good night’s sleep…!

We have both experienced the benefits of therapy and don’t see why it has to take ‘for ever’ to get results.

We want to help you both manage symptoms, but also deal with the underlying issues - if you want to make a change, we can help!
