5-Star Rated Hypnotherapist Hove

Hi, I’m Lara, the founder of JoyBeings, based in Hove.  I am a fully qualified hypnotherapist in Hove. More specifically, a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist (SFHT) with a first-class honours degree in psychology.

​

After a lifetime of stumbling my way through my own mental health journey and moving from a place of despair to one of recovery, discovery and self-growth, and after receiving therapy from a variety of different treatment modalities, I finally came across the life-altering experience of SFHT.  Such was the impact on my life I decided to retrain and support others to do the same.

​

I am a busy working Mum of two young children.  I know firsthand the impact our hectic lifestyles can have on our health, our bodies, our parenting and our relationships.

​

So why not let me help you find some calm, confidence and clarity in your life, so you can en-JOY BEING you, and improve not only your life but the lives of those around you.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFHT)

SFHT combines psychotherapy with hypnosis.  Hypnosis or 'trance' is a natural restful state, encouraged using guided relaxation, where the mind can relax and then focus on thoughts and suggestions that might be useful.

 

SFHT uses practical, structured, and well-researched strategies to help people make significant, positive changes in their lives.  Crucially, in SFHT, we look at what you want to achieve, rather than at whatever prompted you to seek help.

 

Using positive thinking as an integral part of the process, to help build new healthy patterns of behaviour, breaking often debilitating cycles of negative thoughts.

"I honestly can’t thank you enough. You really have changed my life in a way I never thought would be possible. I’m continuously surprising myself in my new found confidence, and will do everything in my power to maintain this change. I honestly thought I would never be in a position to feel this comfortable and confident at work, and love how it has spread to other areas of my life too."

Frequently Asked Questions

Home: FAQ
Big happy family or group of five friends is having fun against sunset beach_edited.jpg

Will you make me do something with which I am not comfortable?

No.  Not at all. You will be in control at all times.  During your initial consultation, I will have discussed your needs and your expected outcomes with you and I will provide you with lots of information about hypnotherapy in general, what to expect and what it can do for you. It's all about your subconscious mind.

Do you work with children?

What does hypnosis feel like?

Hypnosis probably feels different for everybody.  Many therapists, including myself, use elements of relaxation procedures, so people commonly associate a feeling of relaxation with hypnosis. Different people have different responses to relaxation instructions - some feel as though their body is very heavy, whereas some can feel very light, almost as if they were floating.

I am fully insured, and DBS checked and work with adults and children aged 8 years and older.

Are you an NLP Master Practitioner as well as a hypnotherapist?

No, I am not a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) master practitioner as well. I specialise in hypnotherapy and do not offer NLP services. Our focus is on helping individuals achieve their goals through the power of hypnotherapy.

How many sessions will I need?

SFHT is considered a brief therapy, in general, I would expect to see you for between 6 to 18 sessions. However, this will be assessed on an individual basis. 


For specific phobias, I would see you for an initial consultation and a further 3 sessions only.

Do you use the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?

Are you a cognitive hypnotherapist?

No, so I do not offer cognitive hypnotherapy. In other words, I do not combine hypnotherapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

No, I specialise in clinical hypnotherapy. My services are delivered with the power of sounds and words as opposed to tapping you on the body.

Do you offer Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)?

No, I do not offer rapid transformational therapy because it combines cognitive behaviour therapy with neuro linguistic programming with hypnotherapy. I specialise in hypnotherapy.
