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 smoking cessation, IBS, or menopause symptoms, I'm here to guide your transformation.

Creating a safe, judgment-free space is central to my practice - it’s the foundation for successful change. As my clients often share, they feel comfortable and supported from the very first session.

I believe that the power to change is already within you. My role is to help you access it. I provide bespoke hypnotherapy that integrates trusted, evidence-based methods with warmth and a genuine desire to facilitate your complete transformation, guiding you toward a life lived more fully.

Our calm and confidential sessions are always personalised to your specific goals, whether we meet in person at a Restore Wellbeing centre in Suffolk or remotely online via Zoom.

“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)
• 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 working 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.
