Louise Squires | Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist
Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy Bromsgrove
As a fully qualified, registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, I specialise in a compassionate and tailored approach to mental wellness for both young people and adults.
My practice is grounded in extensive training and a deep commitment to providing the most effective, evidence-based therapeutic techniques available. This dedication ensures that every session is focused on facilitating deep, meaningful change tailored to your individual needs.
My services are particularly beneficial for those dealing with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues, including Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Intrusive Thoughts, Phobias, Panic Attacks, Confidence Issues, Relationship Issues, Anger Issues, Sexual Issues, Habit Changing, Addictions, Self Esteem, IBS, and many more. Understanding that these challenges are as unique as the individuals facing them, I employ a holistic and integrative approach to therapy.
At the core of my practice is the use of a combination of Counselling, Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Psychotherapy, and Life Coaching. This multifaceted approach allows me to work in a Solution Focused way, emphasising the present and the future rather than dwelling on the past. This means that you do not need to unpick the past or revisit trauma to move forward, making the therapeutic process less about reliving pain and more about building a brighter future.
The goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed for a healthier, more fulfilling life. This is achieved through a safe, confidential space where your voice is heard and your well-being is the top priority. I understand that seeking help can be daunting, so I strive to create an environment where you feel understood and supported throughout your journey to wellness.
Working with me means accessing not just a therapist, but support dedicated to helping you develop the skills and strategies needed to overcome obstacles and build a strong, resilient foundation for your mental health. Whether you're dealing with specific challenges like panic attacks or looking for general growth and development, the therapy is tailored to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.
I offer every client a free initial consultation appointment, where you can come and meet me, we can have a chat and you can decide if I am the right therapist for you before committing to any paid sessions.

Anxiety and Panic Attacks: Anxiety and panic attacks can significantly disrupt daily life, triggering overwhelming feelings of fear and physical symptoms. My approach involves solution-focused strategies to understand and reshape the way you respond to anxiety triggers, coupled with hypnotherapy to promote deep relaxation and subconscious change. I help you to develop coping mechanisms and employ relaxation techniques to calm the mind and body, aiming to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks and anxiety.
Depression: When treating depression, the focus is on fostering a sense of hope and building a more positive outlook on life. Solution-focused hypnotherapy helps identify goals and potential achievements, envisioning a future where these are realised. Through hypnotherapy, we address the subconscious beliefs contributing to depression, working to change negative thought patterns and enhance motivation, all within a supportive and understanding environment.
OCD and Intrusive Thoughts: For OCD and intrusive thoughts, the goal is to interrupt the cycle of repetitive behaviors and distressing thoughts. By using hypnotherapy, I guide you to understand and alter the subconscious mechanisms fueling these conditions. We'll work on replacing negative thought loops with positive affirmations and mental imagery, steering your mind towards more constructive behavior and thought patterns.
Phobias: Phobias often originate from a subconscious overreaction to perceived threats. Hypnotherapy allows direct communication with the subconscious to reassess and diminish these fears. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can reduce the fear response, helping you manage and eventually overcome the intense fear associated with your phobia.
Confidence Issues: Improving self-esteem involves utilising hypnotherapy to instill positive suggestions and visualisation techniques. Each session builds on the last, reinforcing self-worth and belief in your abilities, helping you embody a more confident version of yourself through a solution-focused lens.
Relationship and Anger Issues: Addressing relationship dynamics and anger involves fostering better communication, empathy, and understanding. Solution-focused hypnotherapy targets the emotional responses contributing to anger and relationship difficulties, promoting a calmer, more reflective approach.
Sexual Issues: Working with sexual issues is done with sensitivity and confidentiality. Hypnotherapy is particularly beneficial for overcoming psychological barriers related to sexual function and enjoyment, helping you overcome anxieties and misconceptions and improve your psychological relationship with your sexual self.
Habit Changing and Addictions: Breaking bad habits or overcoming addictions requires changing deep-seated behavioural patterns. Through solution-focused hypnotherapy, the subconscious mind is accessed to alter narratives around these habits, supporting you in moving towards a future free from these issues.
Self-Esteem: Boosting self-esteem is about more than feeling good about oneself; it involves building a robust and positive self-image. Hypnotherapy challenges and changes the subconscious beliefs that might be holding you back, working on strategies to enhance your self-belief, assertiveness, and self-compassion.
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome): IBS is often influenced by stress and psychological factors. Using hypnotherapy, I address the subconscious mind's influence on bodily processes, reducing stress and promoting healthier functioning. We'll also explore lifestyle adjustments and stress management techniques to help alleviate your symptoms.
Each session is a step forward, building upon the last to foster development and lasting change. While approximately six sessions are generally the framework, the actual number may vary based on individual needs and progress. The ultimate goal is to empower you with the skills and mindset for long-term well-being and resilience.
