# Sheila Whitie Hypnotherapy

Sheila Whitie Hypnotherapy, based in Peebles, offers clinical hypnotherapy services delivered by a fully qualified and insured practitioner with extensive experience in behavioural support and working with people seeking significant life changes.

Sheila specialises in helping clients address weight management, smoking cessation, anxiety, phobias (spiders, needles, dentists), confidence issues, exam nerves, driving test anxiety, and emotional difficulties including jealousy and irritation. Her approach is deeply rooted in her background working with troubled adolescents in residential care and as a Behavioural Support Assistant with Scottish Borders Council, where she witnessed firsthand how shifts in mental attitude transform lives.

What distinguishes Sheila's practice is her personalised, collaborative approach. Rather than applying generic treatments, she thoroughly discusses each client's specific needs during an initial consultation before recommending an appropriate course of treatment. She typically works over 3-4 sessions, addressing underlying issues whilst teaching practical self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques clients can employ independently.

Her extensive retail management experience has cultivated a professional yet warm manner, with absolute confidentiality assured. Sheila is Disclosure Scotland checked and fully insured, providing clients with complete peace of mind.

She believes hypnosis must be experienced to be truly understood, and actively encourages clients to try the process, introducing them gently during their first session to eliminate anxiety about control or susceptibility.
