This specialist CPD session is designed to give Solution Focused Hypnotherapists the knowledge, tools, and confidence to support clients undertaking the cancer journey.

Learn how to work sympathetically with clients experiencing the physical and emotional side effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Knowledge of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy to attend this CPD would be ideal. However, if you wish to work in a more solution-focused way, this CPD will help you to understand the principles of the SFH approach during one of life’s more challenging journeys.

The aim of this CPD session, is to give participants an understanding of:

The Cancer Journey:

Learn how the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects can impact a client from a cancer diagnosis and during treatment.

Objective: To gain an understanding of what clients might experience emotionally, physically, and psychologically during their cancer journey. To understand the different stages of the treatment journey, from diagnosis, active treatment and remission to ongoing care. To understand the potential range of client emotions and the role of SFH in offering support.

The side effects of cancer treatments:

Explore the many side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy,  including the lesser-known ones. Discover their impact on mental health and daily functioning.

Objective: To gain a good working knowledge of the side effects of cancer treatment including chemotherapy and radiotherapy and their implications for you as a hypnotherapist. To have a wide understanding of the physical, emotional and social impact of a cancer diagnosis.

How Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) can support clients through treatment

Understand how SFH techniques can be used to maintain and strengthen emotional resilience while also reducing the impact of any side effects during cancer treatment. To help clients regain a sense of control and to focus on positive future outcomes. To identify useful SFH techniques that can support these areas.

Objective: To explore how SFH can be used to support clients during cancer treatment. To use the SFH principles to support clients emotionally, physiologically and in social environments.

Review relevant case studies

Analyse real-life anonymised examples of Jenny’s clients who have benefitted from SFH during cancer treatment, to support the learning experience and develop further understanding.

Objective: To support learning while building your confidence as a hypnotherapist by discussing anonymised case studies demonstrating SFH in action. To highlight learning points and to look at why SFH worked.

Explore scientific research and evidence

To become aware of current studies and clinical findings on the effectiveness of hypnosis and SFH in oncology settings. To be able to see more clearly how you can use the SFH approach to support clients in your own clinic.

Objective: To review the evidence base supporting the use of hypnotherapy in oncology.

Build confidence in promoting your services ethically and appropriately

Learn about the Cancer Act and how this impacts your advertising. How to sensitively and ethically inform your prospective clients how hypnotherapy can support them while undergoing cancer treatment.

Objective: To gain an understanding of the Cancer Act and how this might impact how we promote this area. To help practitioners feel confident in advertising their services in an ethical way to oncology clients. What to include (and avoid) in your advertising, website, and client materials.

I would highly recommend Jenny with her friendly and calm approach. My hypnotherapy sessions for claustrophobia worked very well and have really helped me in many situations.

I began seeing Jenny via online sessions in the midst of chemotherapy related to my breast cancer diagnosis and could not be happier or more grateful with her services. Jenny is extremely kind and helped me work through the side effects of chemotherapy. Prior to finding Jenny, I developed anxiety related to the use of cold cap therapy in conjunction with chemo. The cold cap helped me retain most of my hair but was quite uncomfortable leading to a dread of using it. I began to associate all of the side effects of chemo with the cold cap and could not even look at the carrying case without feeling sick. I could have given up the cold cap but vanity prevailed and finishing treatment with it was beneficial to my mindset and appearance. Thankfully, with Jenny's assistance I finished chemotherapy and was able to use the cold cap for every treatment. I found the online sessions as useful as I imagine an in-person visit would be. Jenny is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your lovely, kind comments Margaret. You were a pleasure to work with and I hope your health continues to improve. strength to strength.

Jenny was amazing. I chose Jenny because of her excellent reviews with patients with depression and life worries. I was at first sceptical about zoom meetings but this proved to be one of the best decisions I have ever made . As for the zoom meetings they were great and always on time. And Jenny was always accommodating. I highly recommend her to others facing similar challenges
Response from the owner:Thankyou so much for your kind words. I’m glad the online hypnotherapy sessions helped you. Wishing you all the best for the future.

I have been to a few counsellors over the years and had decided that what little I had achieved seeing them was all I could hope for.
Someone recommended Jenny to me, and I thought, what have I got to lose?
I found her to be a very friendly person who put me at ease straight away.
I had about six appointments with Jenny and have come away, feeling so much more confident and a much stronger person.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words Wendy. I wish you all the best for the future. 😀

I had a fantastic therapeutic experience with Jenny and highly recommend her to anyone wishing to address any kind of issue, behaviour, habit/addiction - or simply for self-care.
In six sessions she worked very effectively and empathetically with me to kick-start a process of change that I believe will be long-lasting. She provided a safe and wonderfully relaxing space to undertake this work - and at the end of each session I felt not only empowered but as though I was walking on air!
Thank you, Jenny! 🙏🏻
Response from the owner:Hi Louise,
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. I am delighted to have been able to help you. Kindest regards Jenny

Jenny has helped me cope with some big changes in my life and overcome self-doubt and lack of self-confidence to start afresh, make correct and considered decisions and significantly reduce the stress and anxiety I was under. Jenny was very clear in her approach and messaging and got me focusing on positives, whilst recognising the behaviours which were causing stress. I have no hesitation giving a 5 star review and would highly recommend Jenny to anyone with similar feelings of anxiety, and a lack of self-confidence as she can effectively help you overcome these.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the lovely review Paul. I wish you all the best for the future kindest regards Jenny

After almost two years of trying to find the right support to help my daughter with her severe anxiety, we decided to try Jenny’s services. Within a matter of weeks, Jenny had helped her to turn things around completely and we now have our happy and confident daughter back. Jenny is friendly, welcoming and professional and put us at ease from the outset. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind comments Helen, it was a pleasure to be able to help. 😊

Jenny has helped my daughter with her chronic insomnia, which in turn was causing migraines. We've just cancelled her next appointment as my daughter felt she didn't need it. She's sleeping so much better, is much more relaxed about going to sleep and is also more positive generally. The migraines are reducing all the time. I really can't thank Jenny enough or recommend her enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Suzanne for your kind words. Your daughter was a pleasure to work with and I hope her migraines continue to improve. Heres wishing you both a wonderful Christmas. Kindest regards Jenny

Jenny was a huge help to our teenage daughter, who was suffering with extreme anxiety. She couldn't eat, sleep, and was missing school. She was a shadow of her usual self. Jenny helped her to cope with her anxiety and turned her life around. She is now doing really well, and managed to get through her exams and start college. Occasionally she still gets anxiety, but manages this easily by using the techniques that Jenny taught her. I have also recommended Jenny to many of my friends, who have all found her help invaluable.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your lovely review Linda. My congratulations on a wonderful set of exam results!!

I went to see if Jenny could help me just before we went into lock-down and have since had all of our sessions online through video sessions. I asked about lots of issues that I had and she said that she could try to help with all of them. The main issue for me was a huge lack of confidence at work (which had even been pointed out to me by bosses) and with certain women that I liked. These resulted in difficulties which were both of verbal and physical attributes. Now I'd never been to anything like this before, so the first thing for me to realise was that it wasn't like anything you see in the movies (at least not with Jenny anyway). It isn't one session and you're fixed, and you don't have a stopwatch being swung in front of you to get you into a trance state either. It's much more about concentrating on the positives, learning about what's actually happening to your brain in those moments, and then gradually changing your thought processes over time to make things clearer. It feels a little unusual, but isn't weird, and the bedtime audio becomes very relaxing and satisfying, even if I did get the giggles the first few times. I can't say that I wasn't skeptical or even that I wasn't totally convinced that it was doing anything sometimes, but over time it's left a sort of calmness and confidence to deal with situations better, to the extent that I'm doing things that I never ever thought I'd be confident enough to do before, and not constantly looking over my shoulder worried what everyone else's opinions will be. But to counter that, I also haven't changed who I am, which was also a big fear, so I'm only saying and doing what I wished I could've done in the past, rather than doing things which are totally out of my character. It's a boost rather than a rip out the old and bring in the new. Don't get me wrong, this isn't some sort of miracle cure, because you do have to work at it as well, but I guess it's a way to try to help me guide myself with any problems I face in the future too.

I've had other help too, but Jenny has been instrumental to the change and guided me and picked up on and dealt with any other issues along the way. I really believe she could help many people with loads of different problems, but you just need to be open to letting her in to help you. As a further testament, I've just had the dreaded virus and been locked away isolating again, and despite being knocked about by it a bit, I still feel confident that the changes Jenny instigated are still there to help in lifes ups and downs, so it's not just a quick short term fix either! Thanks again Jenny!
Response from the owner:James thank you so much for your review of my services. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had Covid and am glad to hear that you coped so well and are recovering nicely. All the best for the future!

I have found seeing Jenny for hypnotherapy the most effective theraputic practice I have tried. The way I see it, in this crazy world the ones with the mental health problems are the ones who don't think they have a mental health problem. I happy to accept that need all the help I can get to stay sane and positive. I live an hour from Stafford and that Jenny can offer her services zoom is wonderful for me. Finding the time to travel an hour there and an hour home was a bit stressful, not to mention the carbon cost of driving, whereas being able to have hypnotherapy in the comfort of my own home has made it much more accessible whilst still being just as effective. Thanks Jenny
Response from the owner:Thank you Claire you’re very kind. It’s nice to know that you’re benefitting so much from the online sessions. 🙏

I took my daughter to see Jenny as she was absolutely petrified of dogs and her nan had recently got a dog so this was causing some real issues. We had a consultation with Jenny and I straight away felt at ease and really happy to proceed with the sessions. Unfortunately we then had lockdown but Jenny suggested we try the sessions via zoom and gave us a hypnotherapy mp3 to start listening too to get ready. The sessions were fab and my daughter felt really at ease with Jenny. The sessions really paid off and my daughter is so confident around dogs which is amazing considering she would burst in to tears at the mere sight of one. Only downside is that she now wants us to have a dog. I would highly recommend Jenny, I found her to be really engaging with both myself and my daughter. She was very clear about how she could help and extremely positive about the process and how it could benefit us. 5 star service from start to finish.
Response from the owner:I’m so glad I was able to help your daughter Vickie. It was an honour to be able to help. Thank you. 🙏
