About Deborah - your Menopause Hypnotherapist

I'm Deborah, founder of Menopause Unlocked, and I specialise in helping women navigate menopause with calm, clarity, and resilience. 

After spending many rewarding years in education, I felt a deep, professional call to pivot and focus on supporting women through major life transitions, especially those that are deeply emotional yet often navigated in isolation. When I discovered the profound, evidence-based power of clinical hypnotherapy, I saw its potential for transformational healing, inner peace, and lasting change.

I formally trained in clinical hypnotherapy and further specialised in menopause support. I founded Monarch Hypnotherapy based on one core belief: Menopause is not merely a medical milestone or a time of loss, but a powerful, personal journey towards growth, clarity, and unlocking your true potential.

I am a fully qualified clinical hypnotherapist and certified menopause coach with a special interest in supporting menopausal women.  I gained my Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills with Chrysalis Not for Profit Ltd. The qualification is validated by The Prince's Trust and accredited by The National Hypnotherapy Society.

I am a registrant member of the National Hypnotherapy Society* - the only specialist hypnotherapy register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority**, and I abide by their code of ethics.

I hold additional specialist hypnotherapy qualifications in a number of areas, including...

• Menopause support
• Stress management
• Anxiety
• Weight management (including the Hypno-Gastric band)
• Stop smoking hypnotherapy

I am also an accredited practitioner of the HypnoIBS® program for treating clients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

I hold an up-to-date enhanced DBS certificate and full Professional Liability insurance.

I offer both one-to-one hypnotherapy (online or in-person) and my Menopause Unlocked online group programme. 

What makes working with me different:

• I combine deep, practical hypnotherapy with a real understanding of menopause
   
• You’ll learn tools you can use long after our sessions end
   
• My space is safe, supportive, and non-judgmental; you set the pace
   

Many of my clients report feeling like themselves again, calmer, clearer, and more confident, by the end of our work together.

I believe that menopause can be a powerful transitional moment. Not something to endure, but something to unlock. My work is grounded in:

• Empathy: I know how isolating this phase can feel.
• Empowerment: I help you regain control of your body and mind.
• Safety: Your mental & emotional wellbeing always comes first.
• Expertise: My approach is evidence-informed, professional, and deeply rooted in real change.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by menopause, or simply want calm, clarity, and a way forward, I’d love to speak with you.
