About Me

After training at the well renowned Clifton Practice in Edinburgh (CPHT), I was awarded my DSFH (Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy), and my HPD (Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma). The HPD is widely regarded as the Gold Standard in Hypnotherapy, with only 20% of hypnotherapists holding this qualification. Hypnotherapy is still an unregulated profession so you should always ask to see evidence of this qualification, and if in doubt, seek therapy elsewhere.

I’m Liza and I am a 45 year-old mother of one young adult, one teenager, and one little dog and I am the owner of Belmont Hypnotherapy.

I understand what it feels like when the life you are living no longer aligns with your values, when your head is full of self-limiting beliefs, and what it’s like to have poor or next to no coping strategies.

Discovering the solution focused approach to therapy, in combination with access to the subconscious mind, led me on my own journey of self-discovery and changed my life. It changed the way I think about things, the way I see things, and the way I do things, and it has enabled me to dedicate my time to helping others in the same way.

When I’m not working with my clients, I am researching, reading, and listening to podcasts related to neuroscience, human behaviour and wellbeing - this area of interest is everything to me and it ensures that my knowledge is up to date. I also attend regular supervision and CPD workshops so that I can be the very best therapist for you. I enjoy staying active with spin classes. bike rides and dog walks. My happy place is screen one at The Cameo in Edinburgh, and I regularly set myself silly challenges like watch one film every day for a month - whatever gets you through!

I am currently seeing clients online and for this we use Teams, A link will be sent in advance of your session. This is very simple and you don’t need to have Teams installed or be an IT expert in order to use it,

Having online sessions is of great benefit for many different reasons - you may be short of time, and I understand that sometimes going somewhere new can be a great source of anxiety. Working online also means that distance is no problem. I have worked with clients all over the UK and as far away as South Africa.

I’m here for you, whenever you are ready, so please get in touch to organise a free initial consultation. I’d love to work with you and help you to reach your own full potential.

I have a very chilled approach and never pressure anyone into booking further sessions. The decision to seek, attend, and continue with any type of therapy should always be yours.

I’m looking forward to seeing you.

Liza
