Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy
Do you feel stuck in a rut? Unable to make the change(s) you want to lead a more satisfying, fulfilled life? Solution -focused hypnotherapy can help you to think in a fundamentally different way about the changes you wish to make. It is a gentle, non-invasive and enjoyable therapy that can be extremely effective in a relatively short period of time.
I use a combination of solution focused psychotherapeutic techniques with trance and give you the lasting tools you need to make and maintain positive changes and transform your mindset. This is a collaborative approach between client and therapist and requires commitment to achieve optimum success. The focus in therapy is on moving forward in a solution-focused way rather than going over the problem that may have caused you to seek help in the first place. This makes it a very attractive therapy to many clients as you don’t even need to necessarily tell me what the problem is for us to work together! Trance is very ordinary in many ways, it’s a state rather like day-dreaming but I ask you to lie back with your eyes closed so that you fully enjoy this deeply relaxing experience.
I use the very latest neuroscientific findings to give you an easily understood explanation of how the brain works and how we develop inappropriate and unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour. You will be an active participant in your therapy and everything will be explained in detail all the way along, so that you can get the absolute best from this experience. This process is all about giving you back control of your life.
I can help you with weight loss/gain, anxiety, depression, addiction, confidence and self-esteem, chronic pain, smoking cessation and much, much more. If you don’t see your issue listed please contact me to see if I can help.

The Initial Consultation and each follow-up session lasts for 1 hour with the exception of the Smoking Cessation treatment – this is a one-off session lasting 2 hours approximately.
We will meet in my clinic in Fahan, Inishowen or we can arrange your sessions online via the Zoom app.
Sessions are generally once weekly and the average length of treatment is between 8 – 12 weeks, although this can extend depending on specific circumstances. Specific Phobias can usually be resolved in four sessions, but again this depends on individual circumstances.
You the Client are the best judge of when your treatment is finished. Sometimes people find they resolve their initial issue to find they want to go further and tackle even more!
Success is not guaranteed as full client commitment is important. This will be explained in more detail in the Initial Consultation.
What clients say
Fionnuala
Phobia treatment
(online therapy)
I had a severe phobia of dogs. Despite my desire to really want my sessions to be a success I feared that my sceptisim would hinder my progress.
Asking for help is not always easy but Deirdriu has such a non-judgmental approach that she makes it seem easy. Deirdriu’s intelligent responses, her listening skills combined with her gentle calming voice make the sessions fly by . After only four sessions my physical response to dogs has changed drastically. I am shocked at how effective the sessions were. I literally went from running out a door to letting a dog eat a treat out of my hand!
Una
General sessions for anxiety related issues
(online therapy)
I was unsure if virtual meetings would be effective! I was pleasantly surprised and I honestly didn’t know what I was getting myself in to! I was amazed that everything was so professional and how much I looked forward to the weekly sessions!
This was the best experience I had during Covid 19 quarantine! I didn’t even realize how much I had been holding on to from my past and what I was worried about for my future until I talked things out with Dee! I loved every minute especially the meditation. I felt confident and ready to face each week after our conversations.
Claire
Panic Attacks
(Combination in person & online therapy)
I just had previously been to CBT the year prior, then when the panic attacks came back I started to really feel like nothing could help me get rid of them. But since speaking with Dee and focusing on the therapy she set out – it got rid of any hesitation I had. it was amazing and helpful from the very start.
I absolutely loved it, the night- time Audios really helped me focus and get a good night’s sleep. I learned the importance of taking time out for me and actually with the help of Dee helped me stop thinking negativity and gain more positive thinking and outcomes. It was beyond helpful and I 100% would recommend it to anyone.
Katrina
Smoking cessation
(online therapy)
I worried that it wouldn’t work! I was a smoker for over 30 years and I was a bit sceptical about hypnotherapy working. After the session I had absolutely no cravings whatsoever. It was an amazing experience. I’m now a non-smoker for over a month and I am still amazed at how well it’s worked! Deirdriu was amazing and I’d recommend Breeze for anything that you feel you need assistance with.
Christopher
Self-esteem/ confidence
(Combination in person & online therapy)
Prior to starting my understanding of hypnotherapy led me to believe that I would be hypnotised (like the stage shows), which isn’t the case. After the first introduction that was cleared up.
My experience was enlightening and educational. It’s enlightened me to be thankful, reflective and positive towards myself and others. It was educational for how a simple thought change could ripple into a wave of change and positivity.
Bernadette
General sessions for Depression
My only concerns were about doing something new. I didn’t know much about Hypnotherapy when I started but I’m so glad I gave it a chance.
My experience was extremely helpful in addressing my issue. I had lost a baby over Christmas and just couldn’t see my way out of how I was feeling. Hypnotherapy helped me to really think about what had happened and how I was going to learn to cope with it.

I am fully insured with Balen’s Specialist Insurance Brokers and I am GDPR compliant in all my practices.
