Hi, I'm Tina, a qualified and registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist and founder of Best Banana Hypnotherapy. Having worked as a Registered Nurse in the NHS for over 20 years I have a wealth of professional experience in building therapeutic relationships and supporting people and their families through difficult times, journeys of acceptance, change and recovery. Now, I focus my skills into supporting clients to optimise their mental and physical wellbeing and live their best life through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. I believe that everyone has the ability and skills they need to improve their life and I am here to help them recognise and unlock their full potential. I would love to be part of your journey to your desired future too.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) can help with anything in your life you want to focus on making positive changes to. Common presenting concerns include general anxiety or lack of motivation, stress management, living with chronic or life limiting conditions or pain, relationships with food and weight management, smoking cessation support, as well as fears and phobias or compulsions.
Sessions are available online, so you can schedule at your convenience and relax in your own environment. I also offer in person sessions in Nine Springs Natural Health Centre in Yeovil.
Typically we will spend 50 minutes together starting with some talking therapy and ending with the relaxing trance to harness the power of your subconscious mind.
The initial consultation is free, providing an opportunity for us to meet online or talk on the phone and for you to find out if SFH is right for you, so get in touch now, I look forward to meeting you

I practice Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy after qualifying from the renowned CPHT Bristol training school with a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. This approach combines the best research backed modalities of psychotherapy including Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with neuroscientific understanding about the brain, and the amazing benefits of hypnosis. Each session is structured and tailored to the individual's unique needs and goals, focusing energy away from the problems and onto the solutions. By identifying, acknowledging and celebrating the resources, skills and achievements clients already have in their lives I support them in defining, visualising and actualising a preferred future rather than analysing the past.
The transition from a career in nursing to clinical hypnotherapy has been so fulfilling both professionally and personally. I am experienced at working with clients with a variety of presenting concerns and utilise further professional study, robust clinical supervision and reflective practice to build competence and expertise as a practitioner. I very much enjoy studying the history, theories, research and application in practice of hypnotherapy and related disciplines, and through submission of an extensive portfolio of written records and case studies I have been awarded the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma , verified by the NCH and externally accredited by the NCFE. I am now working towards the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma to enhance my breadth and depth of knowledge and skills and keep up to date with the latest research and techniques to inform my practice.
I take my professional responsibilities very seriously and am registered with the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy AfSFH, the National Council for Hypnotherapy NCH and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council CNHC and uphold the requirements of their codes of conduct and ethics. I hold full indemnity insurance and clear Enhanced DBS criminal record check. I am registered with the Information Commissioners Office and comply with GDPR in relation to your personal data. I undertake regular clinical supervision and continuing professional development so you can be reassured you will always be provided with quality and professional care.

Traditional improvement models such as Lean and Six Sigma are based around process improvement methodologies that provide important tools to identify inefficiencies and implement improvements in clear measurable ways. These methods although valuable in their own right inevitably do not maximise and take into consideration the most powerful human factors that can drive forward profound generative change in teams, leaders and whole organisations.
By linking my decades of knowledge and experience of improvement science/methodology with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy I can optimise the individuals and leaders within a team to be ready to explore and implement positive changes in their working practices, as well as support them to boost performance and outcomes.
