About Dawn Ibbetson

I empower people to take back control and focus in their lives. I help transform their aspirations to set them up for success every day.

I work with people to manage feelings of overwhelm and give them back control from stress, anxiety, lack of confidence and self-limiting beliefs.

I’m passionate about helping people to unlock the power of their mind, so they can move forward in life.I enable people to regain the focus to thrive, giving them the skills to deal with challenges so they can lead fulfilling lives.

I help people become the best version of themselves, empowering them to make long lasting positive changes.

I practise hypnotherapy in Chelmsford from my private home therapy room, which is a 20 minute walk from the vibrant city centre. There are pretty riverside walks 5 minutes away if you would like to take a scenic walk back to town.

My Experience

I spent 20 years in leadership roles within the IT and finance industries. I managed staff over multiple global platforms, executing strategic and organisational change within highly pressurised environments.

After experiencing burnout, in 2020 I decided to retrain as a hypnotherapist. I wanted to help others with burnout, anxiety and imposter syndrome symptoms.

As well as individual therapy, I now also utilise my knowledge and experience of corporate work environments to support organisations. I help improve employees’ mental health by reducing stress, building resilience and boosting confidence.

Fraser Root

Not to sound too cheesy, a genuinely life changing experience. Had 6 sessions with Dawn, found her to be extremely professional and friendly, would highly recommend!I previously had issues regulating my emotions but now finally feel in control of my life. My outlook has completely changed for the better and for possibly the first time I feel equipped to deal with the ups and downs and curveballs of life.Thank you Dawn

Response from the owner: It's been a real pleasure to work with you Fraser and I'm so pleased you now feel equipped to deal with whatever life has in store. Thank you so much for the great review and I wish you all the best looking forward!

Yvonne Salustri

I would like to highly recommend Dawn at Inspired To Change. I came to Dawn with crippling anxiety, this affecting greatly my day to day life. Through her calm and knowledgeable support using solution focused hypnotherapy I am now confident and happy and have the skills and tools to use to keep me that way.I have had other types of talking therapies which helped in parts, but having to talk about the past and relive difficult times did not help. The great aspects of solution focused hypnotherapy is you are only looking forward to the person you want to be and focusing on all the positives you do have in your life.Dawn is caring, supportive, nonjudgmental and very knowledgable to give the best therapy.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your wonderful review Yvonne! It's great to see you so confident and happy. Wishing you all the best for the future.

Becky Wimpress

I came to Dawn for help with my Anxiety and she has completely changed my life and opened my mind up to a new way of thinking and dealing with emotions. I could not recommend Dawn enough, she is amazing❤️

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review. It was such a joy to work with you and see you progress each week, you totally rock life now!

Kevin Ansell

Having suffered from anxiety for most of my life i have tried numerous things to help ease the effects of this, cbt therapy twice herbal remedies etc but nothing seemed to work. The next option was medication which I didn't want to go into then decided to look into hypnotherapy. I found Dawn on Google and that search has changed my life. As a practical person I can fix things if I know how they work, Dawn explained to me how my brain was making me behave in easy to understand language. Working on her methods worked for me. Since my sessions with Dawn I am more confident as a person and less stressed in new situations, making me happier in my life. I can't thank Dawn enough for how she has improved my situation and for anyone slightly sceptical or nervous about hypnotherapy as I was, don't be, give it a go and follow dawns advice and methods and it will really be a life changer for people with anxiety.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review Kev

Danielle Wells

We completed several sessions with Dawn in the lead up to our labour. Dawn took the time to understand our needs and fully explained the science behind hypnobirthing. She made us feel comfortable and fully supported throughout our journey and the two audios provided are very helpful and I will use them during my labour.The environment is calm and relaxing with the option to meet online if needed.I would highly recommend to anyone looking to do hypnobirthing.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review and that I was able to help you. Thank you for also allowing me to be part of your journey, very exciting times ahead!

L Matthews

I recently saw Dawn for 12 Hypnotherapy sessions. At the start I was in a really bad place after suffering some serious mental health problems. I felt instantly at ease speaking with Dawn, which is something that doesn't come naturally to me. Her desire to help people is very evident, it really helps having someone work with you who you can tell genuinely cares, cheers for all your improvements and helps reinforce all the progress you have made. My resilience has improved so much in the last few months, to where if I experience low moods, I haven't been spiralling and can bounce back quicker than in the past.I would highly recommend seeing Dawn if you are looking to start Hypnotherapy!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review, your progress has been amazing and I wish you all the best for the future. It's been a real pleasure to work with you and see your progress each week!

Laura Earl

To anyone considering hypnotherapy, I would highly recommend speaking to Dawn at Inspired to Change!From my very first meeting with Dawn, I felt safe and heard. I also instantly knew that I was in the presence of someone who cared deeply about their work and had a profound understanding of how the mind works.I had 12 sessions with Dawn and the progress that I’ve seen and the difference that I feel it has had on my mental health and resilience has been life changing. For that I am so grateful to have had Dawn as my hypnotherapist and I encourage anyone considering this form of therapy to reach out to Dawn - and to trust the process! :-)

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review, it really does mean so much and it's been a privilege to be part of your journey, to see you blossom and become the confident person you now are!

More About Me

I previously worked in a highly stressful corporate environment. Driven by pressure and results to work harder and better, I suffered the mental health impact of anxiety and stress.

Whilst training as a hypnotherapist, I learned how my brain worked. I was then given the tools and understanding to regain a connection to myself and my life.

I am now passionate about giving people that same power to move forward, thrive, and transform their lives.
