Elaine Neale, a Senior Lecturer for CPHT Glasgow and Edinburgh Hypnotherapy Training Schools, is herself a past graduate of CPHT Edinburgh. Bringing a breadth of knowledge, experience, clarity and support to the classroom, she is passionate about enabling students to get the best out of themselves and become successful Solution Focused Hypnotherapists. Elaine couples her in-class teaching with supporting students across several CPHT schools to achieve their Hypnotherapy in Practice (HPD) diploma in addition to the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH).

Elaine set up private practice in Falkirk in 2019, where she works with adults and young people locally, nationally and internationally. She says, “It’s wonderful to be able to work with so many people, whether in-person or online, and see the incredible differences they make to their lives and wellbeing as a result”. She is also a fully qualified supervisor, offering support and guidance to students while on-course and during their careers once qualified.

Bringing together all aspects of her career as a lecturer, therapist, supervisor and occasional author, Elaine is committed to helping everyone she works with to fulfil their potential whether they be student, graduate or client. Her genuine passion for solution focused hypnotherapy is evident in everything she does.

Proudly Scottish but living in multiple locations across the UK while growing up, Elaine boasts an accent uniquely her own which often prompts the question, “Where are you from?”. She jokes that whatever her accent is (or isn’t!), people seem to find it relaxing! Elaine now lives in Stirlingshire with her husband Jonathan, son Jack and their cat, Nico. An avid reader and never happier than with a book in one hand and mug of tea in the other, Elaine balances her peaceful side with usually being the first person on the dancefloor whenever the opportunity arises!
