Jill Whitehouse
Senior Lecturer

“I’m a Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Associate at Inspired to Change – Newcastle upon Tyne, and a Senior Lecturer for CPHT.

From my practice in Newcastle upon Tyne, I work with adults and children struggling with anxiety, depression, and a wide range of stress-related symptoms. I offer both online and in-person sessions, using a gentle, forward-focused approach that helps clients take control of their mental wellbeing without revisiting past trauma.

My background is in education, where I spent over 30 years as a teacher and senior leader. I’ve always been passionate about supporting the emotional health of children and families, and my experience in coaching and mentoring made the move into hypnotherapy feel like a natural step.

What inspired me most about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy was the science behind it. Understanding how the brain responds to stress was a game-changer in my own life, and I now help others learn how to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour with greater ease and confidence.

Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, even when life looks “fine” on the outside. Many have lost sight of what they really want or need. I support them in reconnecting with their strengths and building a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Having faced my own challenges, stress, grief, trauma, surgery, and the demands of being a working mum, I know how powerful this approach can be. It’s a privilege to do this work and to witness those lightbulb moments when things begin to shift.”
