Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Bristol & Online
Can I let you in on a little secret?
Your brain is a bit dramatic
Don't worry, everyone's is.
Not because it's broken. Not because you're weak. But because its number one job is to keep you alive and sometimes it gets a little overenthusiastic.
That racing mind. The overthinking. The intrusive thoughts. The inability to switch off.
Your brain thinks it's helping.
Once you understand why it's doing what it's doing, things often start to make a little more sense. And when things make sense, change feels a whole lot more possible.
That's where I come in.
At Inner Embers, I offer Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in Bristol (Clifton) and online across the UK. I help people understand why they feel the way they do, using simple brain science and practical tools to help them feel calmer, think more clearly and get back to living the life they want.
People come to see me for all sorts of reasons. Anxiety, stress, OCD, intrusive thoughts, poor sleep, panic, low confidence, overwhelm or simply because their brain feels busy all the time. You don't have to have everything figured out before you reach out. We'll start exactly where you are.
Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent, whether formally diagnosed or self-identified, so sessions are always adapted to suit the way your brain works, not the other way around. My aim is to make complicated things feel simple, celebrate progress over perfection, and help you leave each session understanding yourself a little better than when you arrived.
Hi, I’m Neesa,
For years, I worked in Learning and Development, helping people make sense of complex ideas and giving them the confidence to put them into practice. Looking back, it makes perfect sense that I eventually became a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist.
One of my favourite parts of this work is helping people understand their brains. Because once you understand why your mind is responding the way it is, things often become a little less frightening and a lot more manageable.
My approach is practical, collaborative and grounded in neuroscience. I'll explain things in a way that makes sense, answer your questions, and help you build simple, realistic strategies that you can use in everyday life. No jargon, no judgement, and no expectation that you should have everything figured out before you walk through the door.
If you're looking for someone who's warm, curious and genuinely in your corner, I'd love to meet you.
How I Can Help
Therapy with me is a conversation, not an interrogation.
We won't spend months picking apart everything that's ever happened to you. Instead, we'll help you understand why your brain is responding the way it is now, what keeps those patterns going, and what you can do to change them.
I use Solution Focused Hypnotherapy alongside simple neuroscience to make sense of things that can often feel confusing. Whether your mind races, gets stuck in loops, expects the worst or just won't switch off, we'll work together to help it feel calmer, clearer and less exhausting to live with.
We'll probably laugh. We'll definitely get curious. And little by little, you'll start to understand yourself in a different way. My aim isn't just to help you feel better during our sessions, but to give you the understanding and tools to keep moving forwards long after you leave them.
I offer sessions in Bristol (Clifton) and online across the UK.

Getting Started
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, so I like to keep the first one simple.
Every new client begins with a free, no-obligation online consultation via Google Meet. It's a chance for us to get to know each other, talk about what's been going on, and see whether Solution Focused Hypnotherapy feels like the right fit for you. There's no pressure to commit afterwards.
If we decide to work together, you can choose to have your sessions in person at The Clifton Practice in Clifton, Bristol, or online from wherever you're most comfortable. Both options are just as effective, and sessions typically last 50–60 minutes.
Session Fees
Free Consultation
£0
Single Session (PAYG)
£70
Sessions are 50 - 60 Minutes long
Please note, In-person sessions are £75
Block of 6 Sessions
£400
Sessions are 50 - 60 Minutes long
Please note, In-person block bookings are £430.
Block bookings include a small saving and can be a great way to stay consistent and build momentum. Everyone’s journey is different though, so booking a block doesn’t guarantee a specific result by session six. Many clients work with me for around 14 sessions, and some choose to continue for longer based on their goals.
Free Relaxation Recording
If your mind is still busy when your head hits the pillow, this free bedtime relaxation recording is for you.
Designed to be listened to as you're drifting off to sleep, it gently helps your conscious mind let go of the day while your subconscious mind continues to absorb the positive suggestions throughout the recording. That's one of the reasons bedtime is such a wonderful time to listen.
You're very welcome to download it and make it part of your evening routine whenever you need a little extra help switching off.
If you later feel you'd like more support, you're always welcome to book a free consultation. We can chat about what's been going on and whether Solution Focused Hypnotherapy might be a good fit for you.
Because the recording is designed to help you drift off to sleep, please only listen when you are safely in bed. It should not be used while driving, in the bath, or when operating machinery.
Ready When You Are
Book a free, no-obligation online consultation via Google Meet.
We'll have a chat about what's been going on, what you'd like life to look like instead, and whether Solution Focused Hypnotherapy feels like the right fit for you.
If it does, wonderful. If it doesn't, that's absolutely okay too.
