Alison Snee - Helping people manage stress, anxiety, limiting beliefs, low mood and more with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.

Bio

I’m Alison Snee, a fully qualified and insured Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, dedicated to helping people make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. I hold the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD) and the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH), awarded by Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT) – one of the UK’s leading hypnotherapy training schools. I'm also a certified NLP Practitioner, trained and awarded by the American Association of NLP, which complements my hypnotherapy work by deepening my understanding of how language, thought, and behaviour interact.

I’m registered with the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), which means I follow high professional standards and engage in ongoing supervision and CPD. My practice combines the powerful benefits of solution-focused talking therapy with the deep relaxation and positive suggestion work of clinical hypnosis.

My journey into hypnotherapy was a personal one. I first discovered the power of this approach while navigating my own experiences with anxiety and low mood. I was blown away by how quickly things began to shift when I focused on solutions rather than problems, and how hypnosis gave my mind the rest it needed to rebuild itself. That experience inspired me to train professionally and support others to make similar changes.

Today, I work primarily online with clients across the UK and internationally. I specialise in helping people reduce anxiety and stress, improve sleep, shift unhelpful habits, and build confidence. I also support women experiencing perimenopause and menopause symptoms such as mood swings, poor sleep, overwhelm, and brain fog. My approach is gentle, future-focused, and collaborative. I don’t dwell on what’s wrong – instead, I help my clients understand how their brain works under stress, and how they can harness its natural ability to change, grow, and thrive.

Some of the areas I regularly help with include:

Generalised anxiety and worry

Stress and burnout

Menopause and perimenopause symptoms

Low confidence and self-esteem

Poor sleep or insomnia

Unwanted habits and behaviours

Fears and phobias

Depression and low mood

Overthinking and lack of motivation

Performance anxiety (work, public speaking, exams)

Online hypnotherapy offers the flexibility to attend sessions from the comfort of your own home, making it ideal for busy professionals, parents, or anyone who prefers the convenience and privacy of remote support. My clients often report feeling calmer, more motivated, and more in control – often within just a few sessions.

What I love most about this work is seeing people come back to themselves – rediscovering their strengths, feeling more connected, and gaining clarity about how they want to live. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of that journey.

My professional background also includes a BA (Hons) degree and a Diploma in Journalism & Media as well as a Diploma in Marketing, and I bring those communication skills into my client work, particularly when helping people reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and build new mental habits. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate and am fully insured with Holistic Insurance Services.

If you're looking for someone who brings warmth, professionalism, and a deep belief in your potential to change, I’d love to work with you. You can find more about me and my approach at www.bloom-hypnotherapy.com.

Experience

My name is Alison Snee, and I am a professionally trained and accredited Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, and NLP Practitioner. With a strong foundation in both traditional and modern therapeutic techniques, I specialise in helping people break through the limitations of anxiety, stress, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Over the past few years, I have worked with clients across the UK and internationally, guiding them to access the power of their minds to experience calm, confidence, clarity, and lasting positive change.

My qualifications include the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD) and the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH), both awarded by Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training – a leading provider of evidence-based hypnotherapy training in the UK. I am also a certified NLP Practitioner, awarded by the American Association of NLP, which adds powerful tools to my therapeutic toolkit. These approaches complement one another beautifully, allowing me to help clients understand and change their thought patterns, habits, and emotional responses.

My practice, Bloom Hypnotherapy, was born from a personal journey. Like many of the people I now work with, I’ve experienced first-hand how anxiety and low mood can take hold – and how transformational it is when we learn to work with our brains rather than against them. This lived experience has made me passionate about helping others discover their own inner resources and reclaim a sense of balance, peace, and joy. I approach every client with empathy, respect, and belief in their ability to change.

My Therapeutic Approach

I use a combination of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), neuroscience education, positive psychology, and clinical hypnosis. This integrated approach enables my clients to not only feel better quickly but to understand why they feel better – empowering them to maintain and build on their progress between sessions and long into the future.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a forward-looking, evidence-based approach that encourages clients to identify their goals and take small, manageable steps toward them. Unlike traditional therapies that focus on the past, I help my clients explore what’s going well, tap into their strengths, and imagine a future where their problems are no longer holding them back.

Hypnosis – a safe, natural, and deeply relaxing state – is used to support this process by allowing the subconscious mind to absorb helpful suggestions, consolidate learning, and process emotional responses in a calm and focused way. It’s particularly effective for sleep issues, anxiety, confidence, phobias, and unhelpful habits.

My sessions are warm, structured, and client-led. I support people to feel heard, to understand how their brain responds to stress, and to move forward with greater ease and confidence. I don’t diagnose, analyse, or dwell on problems – instead, we look at what’s possible and build on what’s already working.

Areas of Specialism

Over the years, I have supported a wide range of people, from teenagers and young adults to working professionals, parents, and individuals navigating major life transitions. I work particularly well with clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, or struggling to manage persistent thoughts and emotions.

Key areas I help with include:

Generalised anxiety and stress

Menopause and perimenopause symptoms (mood swings, sleep, overwhelm)

Low self-esteem and confidence

Phobias and fears

Insomnia and disturbed sleep patterns

Lack of motivation or low mood

Overthinking and racing thoughts

Unwanted habits (e.g., emotional eating, hair pulling, nail-biting)

Chronic worry and anticipatory anxiety

Performance anxiety (e.g., public speaking, interviews, exams)

I also support neurodiverse clients, people recovering from burnout, and those who feel like they’ve “lost their spark.” My sessions are tailored and inclusive, and I always meet clients where they are – whether that’s in a place of crisis or simply wanting to improve their mental wellbeing and self-awareness.

Online Therapy Experience

Since launching Bloom Hypnotherapy, I’ve worked almost exclusively online. I use Zoom to deliver confidential, high-quality sessions to clients in the UK and internationally. Online therapy offers a number of benefits – convenience, comfort, flexibility, and access – and studies show it is just as effective as in-person therapy for most issues.

My online practice is fully set up for success. I provide clients with easy instructions for joining sessions, follow-up support via email, and resources including guided audio recordings. I have experience working across time zones and supporting clients from a range of cultural backgrounds.

Client Results and Testimonials

Client feedback is a vital part of my work, and I regularly review and reflect on the outcomes of therapy. Many of my clients have experienced significant shifts in mood, sleep, stress levels, and confidence after just a few sessions. Here are some examples of typical results:

Clients who previously struggled to sleep now fall asleep quickly and stay asleep through the night.

People with severe anxiety or panic attacks report feeling calm and confident in situations that used to trigger them.

Clients experiencing overwhelm due to menopause say they feel more balanced, better rested, and more able to cope with daily life.

Those with long-standing self-doubt have found clarity, direction, and renewed self-belief.

My testimonials reflect these transformations – clients describe feeling “lighter,” “more myself,” and “empowered to take control again.” Many express surprise at how quickly things changed once they started focusing on what was possible and learning how to work with their brain, not against it.
