Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with Candy Squire-Watt

Change Your Mind, Improve Your Life

Hello, I’m Candy I’m a solution focused clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist based in Skipton, North Yorkshire and online.  I work with you when life gets difficult, whether that’s because anxiety is feeling overwhelming, you have habits or behaviour you’d like to change or you feel ‘burnt out’. I’ll help you overcome your emotional and physical challenges using a combination of talking therapy and hypnosis to help you to refocus and regain control of your emotions and your life. 

Solution focused hypnotherapy combines the latest developments in neuroscience, with psychotherapy, elements of neuro-linguistic programming and hypnosis to help you to make lasting change. We focus on the solution, not the problem, to help you to change your thinking. I also use the BLAST Technique® which works quickly and effectively with trauma and past experiences, helping you to process these and allowing you to move on.

Hypnosis is a natural and gentle state that we enter frequently in our day to day lives, and most people find the sessions relaxing and enjoyable, allowing change to happen gradually and comfortably.  My therapy room is a calming and relaxing space in central Skipton, and I also work over zoom if you’d prefer to be in your own surroundings.

I hold the highly acclaimed solution focused hypnotherapy diploma after training with the SFTA Hypnotherapy Training Academy at Leeds Trinity University, and the Hypnotherapy in Practice diploma from the National Council for Hypnotherapy. I’m also a member of the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (APHP) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I have a Mental Health first aid certificate and an enhanced DBS check.

Together we’ll gently identify how you want to be living and help you get there.

Below is a list of the conditions that Hypnotherapy can help with, but if you’re unsure, please feel free to get in touch, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation.

"I would absolutely recommend having hypnotherapy sessions with Candy. The bespoke person centred sessions Candy delivered each week helped me so much with my perimenopause symptoms and she gave me strategies to support me with the changes going forward."

"What a life changing experience I have had with Candy. After needing to get a handle on some bad habits that had formed, Candy explained how and why our brains used these and allowed me to relax enough to process the changes. Not only has this helped with the initial habits that I had, it's also affected other areas of my life positively, which I wasn't aware could do with some focus. I feel more relaxed, happy and positive."

Testimonial RB, Sept 2025

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern brain based therapeutic approach that integrates solution focused psychotherapy techniques, current neuroscience research, and hypnosis to support positive change. It is important to acknowledge that client commitment and the desire to change is required and that individual results/success may vary and cannot be guaranteed.
