Welcome to Shirley McLean Hypnotherapy

A calm, supportive space where real change begins.

If you’re here, chances are something doesn’t feel quite right.

You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or repeating patterns you know no longer serve you. On the outside, you may be coping, but inside it can feel exhausting.

The good news is, change is absolutely possible.

With over 30 years of experience working with people, and a background in pharmacy alongside advanced training in clinical hypnotherapy, NLP and EFT, I support you in creating meaningful, lasting change, not just temporary relief.

Hypnotherapy works gently but effectively by helping you access the deeper part of your mind where habits, emotions and beliefs are formed. From here, we can begin to shift what’s been holding you back and guide you towards a calmer, more confident way of living.

Learning hypnosis might be the most valuable thing you ever experience. Almost anything you want to change about your life is easier than you think with my programmes below:

Private Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

For Peace in the Mind and Body 

Everybody experiences anxiety at some time. Anxiety is a natural response, useful in helping us to avoid dangerous situations and motivating us to solve everyday problems. Anxiety can vary in severity from mild uneasiness through to a terrifying panic attack. It can vary in how long it last, from a few moments to many years.


Anxiety disorder differs from normal anxiety it is more severe, it is long lasting, it interferes with your work or relationship.  This programme is conducted over 3 sessions, designed to bring about a gradual change to your mindset – to give you a set of ‘tools’ that can help you recognize your triggers, enabling you to let go of things that don’t matter, and focus your energy on what you can control – your mind.

This is not just a short term fix – this potentially creates skills for life.
If you use the tools they will develop lifetime habits which will enable you to be calm and much more resilient for future life events.  This will reinforce the calmness state and rid you of any build – up of smaller, day to day stressors.

Private Hypnotherapy for Stress

How to Create Instant Calm, Resilience and Change Responses to Stress
Everyone has stress, but few have the skills to deal with it. Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that require an adjustment or response .The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental and emotional responses, stress is a normal part of life. Even positive life changes such as a promotion, a mortgage or the birth of a child produces stress.


This programme is to receive the life skills and strategies to create calm in your life. When we believe we are stressed, this is simply the result of one system (the stress response) doing too much, and the other system ( our natural relaxation) doing too little, 

The focused attention will be –
-Interrupting the stress response
-Managing negative self talk and re interpreting or re framing events
-Eliminating problem minimising the stressors
-Techniques that give the mind and body recovery time
-Learning the difference between tension and relaxation.
3 week programme- The three sessions are designed to bring about a gradual change to your mind-set.
Thai is not just a short term fix this is creating skills for life.
If you use these ‘tools’ they will develop lifetime habits enabling you to be calmer and much more resilient to life’s events.

Hypnotherapy For Depression

Creating Joy and Happiness

The word depression is used in many different ways. Depression is a common but serious mood disorder. It can cause severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle everyday activities, such as sleeping, eating or working. This programme is conducted over an initial three week period. There are ‘no one session’ wonders. 

The three sessions are designed to bring a gradual change to your mind-set, to give you a set of ‘mind management tools’ that can help you focus on the present and future instead of focusing on negatives, failures and your own limiting beliefs.

This is not just a short term fix, it’s creating skills for life, in that if you use the tools you will go on to develop habits for a lifetime of being calmer and much more resilient to life’s events.
