Refresh Hypnotherapy, Sheffield UK - Relax into Freedom

About Ruthie Nightingale (was Woodhouse)

I am a trained hypnotherapist for adults and am currently training as a counsellor. I look forward to using these skill sets to complement each other, enabling me to offer an enhanced therapeutic service.

I used hypnotherapy for childbirth after a difficult first time experience which had left me stressed and fearful. I found it highly effective for calmness and pain relief, giving me a radically renewed perspective that enabled me to relax and enjoy the birth. This transformative experience inspired me to train to help others to conquer their fears and improve their quality of life. I now find self-hypnosis wonderful for medical procedures to dispel any anxieties and relax.

I follow the work of BAATN, the Black African and Asian Therapy Network. I welcome Black clients and people of all races and ethnicities who are willing to work with a white therapist. I continue to increase my understanding and work to minimise the impact of white privileged thinking.

My policies on confidentiality, ethics, data protection and professional boundaries are closely based on the guidelines of the National Hypnotherapy Society of which I am a member and am listed in their directory. I will send copies of these to you before we begin sessions. Client and therapist each sign a contract agreeing on policies including cancellation, payment arrangements and a treatment plan. Please see terms and conditions link below.

My qualification: Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Introduction to Counselling Skills with Chrysalis UK and the Prince’s Trust. See link below for my ongoing professional development (CPD). I have regular supervision and public liability insurance and I am currently extending my training into pluralistic counselling, to qualify in 2025.

Get in touch today to accomplish the change you desire: driving calm for freedom and independence, increased self-esteem for inward and outer confidence, freedom to fly, public speaking success, a soothing of nerves and relaxation for needles and other dental and medical procedures, relaxation and pain relief techniques for childbirth and chronic pain; help towards healthy eating and freedom from smoking, clarity and self-acceptance during peri-menopause and more. It is exciting to see the renewed strength, confidence and success that hypnotherapy can bring through natural change. I welcome queries about my work and hypnotherapy.

“Ruthie was friendly and encouraging. She reflected back what I was saying and clarified things as we went along. This relaxed me so I could open up and talk through what I wanted to work on.”

“The hypnotherapy sessions are really helping me. The positivity I have found in my situation has changed so much for me and Ruthie’s kindness has made so much difference to this.”

“I’m keen to carry on with the sessions. Ruthie has a great talent for it. I really liked the word ‘easeful’, and the script being written just for me about a place I love.”
