Open Skies Hypnotherapy

Directions Website

Open Skies Hypnotherapy Therapist and training centre based in East Dereham. Treating adults and children. It's normal for us to feel helpless in certain situations.

Hello, I'm Emma,

I'm an analytical hypnotherapist who works with people who feel trapped when they find themselves in situations beyond their control - like habitual behaviour, confidence issues, coercive behaviour, difficult births, and post-natal depression. Open Skies helps people to find liberation by giving them the space to take on the world on their own terms. However, if these situations make us feel trapped or unable to express ourselves, then this cycle benefits from some positive attention. We will often seek answers from our traditional support systems, which don't allow us to free ourselves from the space we are in. Analytical hypnotherapy (hypnoanalysis) strengthens us to feel comfortable with ourselves again. By applying positive associations to situations, we give ourselves the power to move forward. Hypnoanalysis is a long-lasting technique that discovers the underlying issue and treats this instead of just treating the symptoms, thereby giving you the tools to create changes from within. The past influences how we act today, so I use techniques that help you change your unwanted behaviour patterns and move forward into a new future of your choosing. My sessions are centered around you; I believe in accepting, not correcting. You are in control of the session throughout. I am an advocate for this technique, having benefited from it myself. I felt like I was in a glass lift – I could see everything around me, but I was stuck and felt disconnected from my life. Hypnoanalysis not only helped me start moving forward again, but it helped me find a side of myself that I'd hidden years before. I celebrate my individuality and express it openly. I'm no longer ashamed to wear my bright pink Dr. Martens! I'm proud to be who I am and want to help you feel the same. If you find yourself in a situation that you feel trapped in and want to progress but can't find a way to – then call me, and we'll talk about how you can make a change. Open Skies Hypnotherapy – A space for you.

Morning everyone!

As we head into the darker evenings, I tend to see an increase in enquiries. I’m also aware that the cost of living right now is making it harder for people to access therapy.

So, who would be interested in making block bookings and spreading the cost?

This is something I can offer to help people access therapy when they need it, and still cover their bills.

Please let me know if you’d like to do this 😀

I’m happy to say I’m starting a new day job in November which will give me more time to build my business!

The one I have been working is too many hours for me to focus on what’s really important to me - my writing, my therapy business, my clients.

In January I will begin a GSRD diploma which will enhance and further inform my therapeutic work with LGBTQ+ clients.

I’m currently working on my LGBT chapter for a book collaboration of coming out stories. This will be important when it comes to educating people about issues specific to our community.

I’m also excited to announce that I am in talks with a number of creatives about turning my children’s book You Are Enough into a short film! This is the dream work. Getting the film into schools, into the places it needs to be seen - allowing it to open up the conversations that so desperately need to happen. Without blame, shame or guilt. Just watching together and understanding. Healing. Keeping the lessons from the film close in the days and weeks after it’s been watched.

Stay tuned for more on this!

And then - I’m going to be rebranding. Because I’m not just a hypnotherapist. I’m so much more than that. Open Skies is still a name that sums up the idea behind my brand - that behind every cloud there is open sky, behind every grey, heavy narrative you sell yourself lies the opportunity to create a brighter one - because the only person creating your reality is you. So maybe I need to be called Open Skies well-being or healing or something else entirely. I’m a talking therapist, a creative therapist, a supervisor, an author - hypnotherapy is one small part of what I provide.

These are exciting times. If you have any ideas for me about what you’d like to see from me, let me know. 😀😀

Hi everyone

Hope everyone is good. I wanted to share my latest article I wrote for children. It’s about feeling self-conscious when thinking about body image.

I hope the tips and advice here can help your children if this is something they struggle with.

In my little garden therapy room, I regularly run sessions where we can work through these issues in a gentle, supportive way using a combination of drawing, playing, workbooks and more.

If you’d like to enquire about how I could help you and your child, please get in touch for a free no-obligation telephone call.

Because we all deserve to feel comfortable with who we are. 07904 839416 [email protected]

Now that the children are settled back into school, why not make time for yourself at one of my Autumn reset sessions?

We sometimes tell ourselves we are fine, we can just keep going. But life is exhausting. We wear a lot of hats in one day, juggling roles and demands. It’s not sustainable without support from someone who understands what you’re carrying.

Therapy isn’t just for people suffering deep and painful trauma. These Autumn reset, one-off sessions, can help you to:

Relax more deeply, which may aid your sleep.

Release anything negative that may be affecting your daily life and relationships.

Reframe how you view things to alleviate frustration or feelings of being stuck.

Give me a call or pop me a message on WhatsApp, and let’s get you feeling rebalanced and ready for a new season.

Open Skies - A Space for You. Let’s begin.

Today was a day of connection at the mind body and spirit fair.

It was lovely to catch up with Laura from The Life Skills Mentoring Academy and to chat to people who came to my stall.

I also said hello to a lady who volunteers at The Matthew Project where I am going to be volunteering myself very soon!!

What really touched me today was the feedback on my books again. I had a lady tell me she loved my children’s book You Are Enough and that it was her new favourite. I had an adult tell me they read Critical Parenting Reframed (which deals with healing your inner child) and how much it resonated with them as someone in recovery from alcohol addiction.

These are the days when I feel so honoured to put words on a page that touch other people.

I’m currently writing a piece about something that happened to me recently that I feel we should talk about in the context of LGBT issues - I will share it as soon as it is ready.

I also took half hour to have a craniosacral treatment which was honestly the most beautiful thing and completely relaxed me for the first time in ages.

Over the coming months I will be changing my business to work within more specialist areas. I’ll also be operating block booking policies to help avoid the situations where people disappear halfway through treatment.

Sessions will need to be booked in blocks of 6 for all new clients and paid in advance. For every block of 6 you receive 10% off.

This comes into effect from 1st October for all new clients and any old clients who return to me after 1st October. Existing clients currently undergoing treatment are not affected.

Thank you for understanding.

How has A-level results day been?

You may have been celebrating, commiserating, or just feeling a bit numb and lost.

I remember collecting my exam results, frantically searching for my name, and then the chill of disbelief when I realised I was staring at C's and U's.

But here's the thing I want you to know. I am now 46 years old and I rebuilt my life a few years ago after living in an abusive marriage. I bought a house, and I raise my child on my own. I did not need A levels to make that happen.

I write books - important books that touch people. People come to tell me how much my books have helped them. That is what success means to me. Not exam results on some bit of paper that I will never look at again. Connection, compassion, doing good work, being a good authentic person. That's how I measure my worth.

I read and I go to the theatre and I immerse myself in some beautiful stories and plays. I also read palms (I have a Diploma in Chirology) and I love being able to work out who people are just from their hands. I have a therapy business where I change lives and a Law Degree that pays the mortgage. I did not need A levels for any of these things.

Today is one day in the rest of your life. Just one day.

There will be so many chances to shine.

Let me ask you what you think success means. Is it a bit of paper with a few letters on? What will that tell me about you and who you are inside - your hopes, your fears, your dreams? Nothing. It will tell me nothing.

Success is not measured in grades. YOU are not defined by grades.

Success is being a decent person, and living a life that is beautiful. And you don't need a piece of paper to do that.

You're enough just as you are.

Taking a trip to this beautiful butterfly house last week reminded me of the need to slow down and be still, so we don’t miss the wonder right in front of our eyes.

How will you build stillness into the week ahead?

Perhaps today you could journal or write a poem about what stillness means to you. Have a wonderful day 🤗

Yesterday was such a lovely day at Norwich Pride and my daughter made me so proud by marching with her flag and shouting loudly for transgender rights as we walked the route. It was a day that gave me hope.

This morning we learned of the awful events in Berlin and I have been appalled by the comments online again, mostly along the lines that this is what we deserve for "ramming our agenda down people's throats".

I want to be clear that if you believe people deserve to be mown down by a van simply for living as their authentic self, then you need more therapy than I can offer.

Heterosexual people will never fully understand the obstacles, the persecution and the fear that LGBTQ+ people feel day-to-day as they try to exist on this planet.

Unfortunately, political parties are now seeking to capitalise on this by rolling back rights and freedoms and using a rhetoric of hatred to secure votes from people who haven't questioned the ideology or even stopped to think about they would feel if it was applied to them and their families.

We desperately need regulation of online spaces to protect the mental wellbeing of our community during these very difficult times.

In the meantime, Open Skies continues to stand in support of our community, our wonderful, creative, expressive community. You are welcome here, and you are safe here. I will respect all opinions, but if you think someone should die at a Pride event, that is a bit more than an opinion that you don't like LGBT people - that is actually wishing us dead and I will absolutely not allow that kind of rhetoric in my room. Extremism is not a normal reaction and not one I tolerate in any circumstances.

Stay safe, my friends. There is always a space for you right here.
