My name is Debbie Waller. I’m an experienced therapist with a real interest in people and a strong drive to help them make their lives better. This website is about my work with one-to-one clients, although I also work with small groups or for local employers as a stress management coach, and teaching about suicide prevention and awareness.
I am registered with the GHR as an Advanced Hypnotherapy Practitioner, and I have been elected a ‘Fellow’ of the ACCPH. I am registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council for Hypnotherapy.
My book, Anxiety to Calm: A Practical Guide to a Laid-Back Life* is aimed at the public, giving tips on how to combat anxiety.
It’s available from Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.
In addition to seeing clients, I run a multi-accredited and internationally recognised hypnotherapy training school – I am the author of The Metaphor Toolbox, Their Worlds, Your Words and The Hypnotherapist’s Companion, and co-author of the Hypnotherapy Handbook, all of which are available on Amazon.
I am an ex-editor of the NCH Hypnotherapy Journal. I spoke at the UK Hypnosis Convention in London on goal modelling, a protocol for change that I developed for use by therapists, and at the UK Women in Hypnotherapy & NLP Well Women Online Summit on aspects of neurodiversity.
Hypnotherapy is subject only to voluntary self-regulation, but I believe my experience, qualifications and professional affiliations will give you the confidence to choose me as your therapist.
As well as hypnotherapy, I am qualified in the BLAST technique, a form of EMDR, and stress management, and I teach relaxation and meditation classes.
My office in Normanton is easily accessible from Wakefield, Castleford, Pontefract, and Leeds. I can also offer online appointments to those from further afield.
