Lighter Mind, Brighter Life
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, based in the Brecon Beacons
Life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone.
At Trancespire, I use a gentle, solution-focused blend of Hypnotherapy, NLP, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help you feel calmer, more confident, and in control. This effective approach works quickly, focuses on where you want to go, not where you’ve been, and is always tailored to you.
We’ll work together to achieve the changes that matter most to you, building on your strengths every step of the way.
I’m here to support you, one small step at a time, fully insured, DBS checked, and committed to the highest professional standards.
Hi, I’m Lorraine Sheppard…
Have you ever wondered why our minds sometimes feel like they’re working against us, why thoughts spiral, feelings overwhelm, and we get stuck in patterns we don’t want? That curiosity about the human mind has stayed with me my whole life.
Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I worked in IT and accounts. That background taught me to be practical, detail-oriented, and solution-focused, skills I now bring to helping people find positive ways forward.
My passion for mental health grew from personal experience. I’ve faced anxiety and depression and know how isolating they can feel. But I’ve also discovered something life-changing: real, lasting change is possible - often sooner than you’d expect.
That’s why I love being a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. This approach is positive and empowering, it builds on your strengths and looks to the future, not the past. I feel privileged to help people uncover their resources and create lasting change. Many clients say they feel lighter, more hopeful, and in control after just a few sessions. Together, we work as a team, with you leading the way, because no one knows your life better than you.
…a little bit about me and why I’m so passionate about mental health and the journey I’m currently on.
I’m proud to have trained at the Clifton Practice - where this powerful method was born, giving me a solid foundation in a proven approach that works.
Outside of therapy, I’m a mum of two lively boys who keep me smiling every day. I love walking the Brecon Beacons, listening to podcasts, and learning wherever I can. I bring that same curiosity, positivity, and warmth to every session.
If you’re ready to take positive steps towards lasting change, I’d love to support you on your journey. You matter. Your future matters. And together, we can make it brighter.

Why Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Can Help You Move Forward
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is empowering because it focuses on what’s working in your life, rather than what’s gone wrong. It helps you notice your strengths, build on them, and reconnect with a sense of possibility. Even if things have felt stuck for a long time, this approach supports you in moving forward with confidence, gently and without pressure.
Grounded in modern neuroscience and psychological research, it combines practical strategies with safe, relaxing trance states that help you think more clearly, feel calmer, and regain a sense of control. Small, consistent steps in this state allow your brain to form healthier patterns, making lasting change genuinely possible.
At Trancespire, I’m passionate about helping you feel more like yourself again, with compassion, clarity, and real, achievable change.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a gentle, modern approach that combines talking therapy with hypnosis to help you make positive, lasting changes, without needing to revisit the past or go over painful memories.
Rather than focusing on problems, we concentrate on solutions: what’s working well in your life, what you’d like to achieve, and the small, realistic steps that can help get you there. It’s a forward-looking, encouraging process designed to support your natural ability to create change.
The hypnosis part is simply a state of deep relaxation and focused attention, much like when you're absorbed in a good book or daydreaming. In this calm state, your mind becomes more open to helpful suggestions and new perspectives, making it easier to let go of unhelpful patterns and strengthen positive ones.
It’s a safe, collaborative process that’s grounded in neuroscience. Each session is designed to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and support your brain in forming healthier habits - so you can feel more in control, more resilient, and more like yourself again.

Yes, hypnosis is completely safe; and no, you won’t lose control.
During hypnosis, you remain fully aware and in control at all times. It’s simply a natural, relaxed state of focused attention - similar to how you might feel when you’re deeply absorbed in a book, a film, or even your own thoughts. You won’t be asleep or unconscious, and you can choose to open your eyes, speak, or end the session whenever you like.
You can’t be made to do or say anything against your will. Hypnosis is a collaborative and respectful process, one that helps calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and open up space for positive, solution-focused thinking.
At Trancespire, your safety and wellbeing are my top priority. I'm fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS check, and work in accordance with the professional standards and ethical guidelines set by the National Council for Hypnotherapy.
You’ll always be in safe, supportive hands.

Most people start seeing changes within a few sessions. Many clients benefit from 6 to 12 sessions, depending on the issue and how quickly they feel results. There’s no pressure or commitment, we review as we go, and you’re always in charge of the pace.
-
Yes, online hypnotherapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for most people — and many clients actually find it more convenient and comfortable.
The key to successful hypnotherapy is feeling safe, supported, and able to focus — and that can happen just as easily from the comfort of your own home. As long as you have a quiet space, a stable internet connection, and a comfortable chair or sofa, we can work together just as we would face to face.
You’ll still experience the same calming, solution-focused approach and guided hypnosis — all designed to help reduce stress, build resilience, and create positive change.
Some clients even find that being in their own familiar environment helps them relax more deeply and feel at ease more quickly.
At Trancespire, I offer online sessions via secure video call, and I’ll guide you through everything you need to know so you feel fully supported every step of the way.
So whether you're local to Llangorse, Brecon or anywhere across the UK, online hypnotherapy offers a flexible and effective way to access the support you need.
