About Jill Whitehouse

I work with clients who need support around anxiety, depression and a range of other stress-related symptoms. I offer a positive, solution focused hypnotherapy approach through online and in-person sessions from my practice in Newcastle upon Tyne.

I help people find the right way forward for them. Many have struggled to live their lives in the way they thought they should. Some are in a position where they seem to have everything they have ever wanted but still don’t feel that calmness or happiness they thought they would.

My education background, interests and life experiences have been incredibly varied. This has really helped me to connect with, and support, clients of all ages with a variety of needs. They have all experienced stress or anxiety in their own unique way, but I feel it is essential to choose the therapist that suits you as an individual.

It is an absolute privilege to work with people as a solution focused hypnotherapist. I get to see my clients start to understand their own needs and I witness those lightbulb moments when things begin to change. People often don’t know what it is they really want until it is happening.

My Experience

I have been a teacher and senior leader in primary education for the last 30 years. I have a real passion for developing the life chances and mental health of children, their parents, carers and families.

My vast experience of coaching and mentoring means it felt like a very natural transition into solution focused hypnotherapy.

I now work with children and adults to enable them to formulate their own strategies to manage stress or anxiety. I work with clients on an individual basis but also offer group talks around brain research and a positive approach to mental health.

Nayeli Rodriguez

Jill came into our office to run a session focused on mental wellbeing, resilience, and sleep. She was warm, engaging, and made everyone feel comfortable. The session was really interesting and calming, with techniques we could take away and use. It sparked some really great conversations amongst the team and we all left feeling much happier.

Phil Duggan

Thank you for the session Jill! I've had therapy before, used apps and watched countless videos, but the way you explained how our mind is made up, how it works, the chemical reactions to certain things and how we can better help ourselves was really helpful, it's made a massive difference to me and to the rest of the team that were in the session, thank you!

Response from the owner: It was my pleasure Phil. It was a great way to start the week and I am so pleased that you found the session so useful. The strategies are a great way of building resilience so that we are prepared and able to cope better when things get busy or challenging.

David Broom

Jill is one of the nicest people you could wish to meet but it's her knowledge of the brain, and of the self, that makes her so impactful. I can't recommend her enough.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for these kind words David. It was great speaking to you and your colleagues this week about resilience, positive mental health and the importance of sleep. Everyone was so engaged and seemed to get a lot out of the session.

Sam clack

I finally booked up courage to book some sessions with Jill, not knowing what to expect. Jill was so easy to talk to and explained the process to me, and explained what my brain was doing in certain situations. After 7 sessions, I now feel more in control and able to deal with things completely differently to how I was previously. It’s had a real positive impact on my mood and functionality. Thank you Jill.

Response from the owner: Hi Sam. Thank you so much for this feedback. It was a pleasure to work with you and see how you worked out the best strategies for you in terms of how you approached a range of tasks and situations. Glad to hear the brain explanation helped you so much. It is such a useful piece of knowledge to have.

I recently completed 8 sessions with Jill whist recovering from knee surgery and feeling generally down. Jill showed me coping mechanisms on how to focus on the positives. She gave me insight into how my mind was working and how my stress bucket was full and showed me ways to empty this effectively. She taught me the importance of positive actions, interactions and positive thoughts and not dismissing the little things that I maybe didn't think of as positive in the moment. I really enjoyed my sessions with Jill, the therapy have me time out of the day to feel calm, relaxed and refreshed and to make me feel well again. I would absolutely recommend Jill and will use her again in the future if needed.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Rebecca. I’m thrilled to be have been able to support you through your recovery and to provide you with valuable coping mechanisms. It's great to know that you found the sessions calming and refreshing. Your recommendation means a great deal and whilst I am sure your strategies are strong I would be privileged to be there for you again if you need a little support in the future.

Issie Ritchie

Working with Jill has been an amazing experience from the start to the end. After spending many years struggling with emetophobia I decided to seek someone to support me in solution based hypnotherapy.Jill is a kind and empathetic person with a really positive attitude and approach. I was immediately at ease with Jill which allowed me to feel comfortable when discussing difficult topics. The approach that Jill guided me through was focused on making myself a more positive person and helping me with emptying my ‘stress bucket’. This is invaluable knowledge that I will continue to use throughout my life - especially during times of challenge and stress.Jill took time to explain and help me understand how my brain had become hard wired to fear sick and gave me strategies to rewire it to exceed the goal that I set with her in my initial consultation. Completing my ‘what’s been good’ book has allowed me to focus on the positives of every day and shown me that the choices I make each day can impact my approach to the future.I can’t thank you enough Jill x

Response from the owner: Thank you Issie. It was such a joy to see how you engaged in and benefited from the solution focused approach.

Carly Mullen

Working with Jill has been a life changing experience for me!For the last few years I have at times struggled with anxiety, however in October last year I was in a very difficult place, lost all my confidence and felt stuck. This coupled with the physical symptoms of anxiety (IBS in particular) I knew something needed to change. I reached out to Jill and booked an initial consultation, in which I learnt so much about the brain and how this was impacting my thoughts, behaviours and symptoms.Jill is a very warm, kind and caring person. I was immediately put at ease and felt I was in a safe space to up and share how I was feeling without judgement. Jill's knowledge, professionalism and compassion helped me to make sense of what was happening and reflect on the positive things each day. Working with Jill has allowed me to gain control of my life again and for that I will be forever grateful. I now have the confidence and strategies in place to support me if/when I have another wobble and I also have the reassurance that I can contact Jill again if I feel I need some extra support.

Response from the owner: It has been an absolute privilege to work with you and see you regain your confidence, motivation and joy. Thank you very much for your kind words.

Nicola Sugden

Jill at Inspired to Change has been fantastic. We worked together to resolve an anxiety issue , and after just a few sessions I am vastly improved and will improve completely with a little practice and possibly a top up session in the future.Jill is calm and reassuring, and it’s so nice to be heard and not made to feel silly for being anxious in certain situations. Jill explains the brain processes so clearly that I knew exactly what I was going to be working on, how the process worked, and what to expect. The guided visualisation and relaxations were wonderful too. I found the audio Jill gave me to work on at home made me feel very empowered and was a major help in my steps to recovery.I can’t thank Jill enough for her calm and clear professionalism and kindness.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your wonderful review, Nicola! I am delighted to hear that your experience was so positive and the improvements you've made. It's great to know that the approach and support has empowered you in so many ways. Your feedback is truly appreciated, and I wish you continued success!

Having been terrified of taking off and turbulence on a plane for years, after three sessions with Jill I am no longer afraid. My husband couldn't believe I wasn't digging my nails into his arm on take off. We even flew through bad weather and the turbulence didn't bother me at all. So pleased with the results of my therapy. Thank you.

Response from the owner: I am so pleased the sessions helped Bev. You were so engaged in the process that I knew you understood the mixed messages your brain was giving you about flying. The world is truly there to discover now.

More About Me

I have seen for myself the real impact solution focused hypnotherapy can have when you understand your own brain and what it is trying to do.

Throughout my life I have experienced loss, trauma, long hours and stress at work. I have also been through hip replacements and many of the day-to-day challenges faced by a working mother of two gorgeous boys.

I have an extremely supportive network around me. I have experienced counselling and a range of other suggested activities, but understanding my own brain and how it reacts to ‘perceived danger’ was a game-changer for me. I want everyone to have that skill. Don’t get me wrong, my stress bucket can fill up, but I can now recognise it and act on it.

I am a naturally positive person, which I am always grateful for, but sometimes we need to dig deep and maybe need help to do this. It is a privilege for me to support others and see them not just get to ‘ok’, but to thrive. I love the moment when someone realises they have surpassed the ‘hope for the future’ they gave me at the free initial consultation.
