About me

 Hello, I’m Deborah, the founder of Monarch Hypnotherapy.

As a fully qualified hypnotherapist, my true passion is helping people move past limits and rediscover calm, confidence, and control. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, phobias, sleep issues, or looking for support with issues such as your weight, smoking cessation,  or menopause symptoms, I'm here to guide your transformation.

I believe the capacity for change is already within you; my role is simply to help you access it. By integrating trusted, evidence-based methods with a warm, genuine desire for your success, I guide you towards a life lived more fully.

Creating a safe, judgment-free space is the foundation of my practice. I believe the most effective therapy happens within a consistent, one-to-one relationship. Because I operate as a sole trader, your experience is never "off-the-shelf." Instead, every tool and technique is carefully chosen to fit your unique journey, providing you with the practical tools and mental clarity needed to move forward with confidence.

Whether we meet in person at a Restore Wellbeing centre in Suffolk/Norfolk or remotely via Zoom, our calm and confidential sessions are always built around your specific goals.

“Deborah has such a calm, reassuring presence. I felt completely at ease and noticed changes even after my first session" – Jackie G, June 2025

I hold a Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills (Dip Hyp CS) from Chrysalis Not for Profit Ltd, validated by The Prince’s Trust and accredited by The National Hypnotherapy Society.

I’m a registrant member of the National Hypnotherapy Society* -  the only specialist hypnotherapy register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority** and I abide by their professional code of ethics.

I have completed specialist training in:

• Anxiety 
• Stress management
• Phobias and fears
• Weight management (including the Hypno-Gastric Band and the Hypno Weight Loss Jab)
• Insomnia and sleep issues
• Stop smoking hypnotherapy
• Working with children (Enhanced DBS certified)
• Menopause  support (including certification as a Menopause Coach)
• IBS (accredited HypnoIBS® Practitioner)

Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I spent many years teaching in secondary education, which gave me a strong understanding of how people learn, grow, and adapt - skills I draw on in my therapy practice every day.

I also hold full Professional Liability Insurance, an Enhanced DBS certificate,  and maintain ongoing professional development to ensure my practice stays current and effective.
