# Carol Overend Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy

Carol Overend is a fully qualified Clinical Practitioner specialising in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFHT) and Psychotherapy, based in York. Rather than dwelling on past problems, her approach focuses on creating positive future outcomes by helping clients understand how their brain works and establishing healthier neural pathways.

Operating from her home therapy room in Wigginton, Carol works with clients ranging from children to adults, offering a warm, tranquil, and non-judgmental environment. She brings a patient-centred approach that emphasises consistency, trust, and collaboration between therapist and client.

Her practice addresses a broad spectrum of psychological and behavioural concerns. Clients seek her support for anxiety and stress management, depression, confidence building, weight management, and phobias. Carol's methodology is notably gentle and enjoyable, avoiding the problem-focused narrative that characterises some therapeutic approaches. Instead, she guides clients towards understanding the underlying causes of their difficulties and equips them with tools to achieve their preferred future state.

What sets Carol apart is her positioning as one of the first SFHT practitioners in York and surrounding areas, combined with her genuine passion for helping people from all walks of life without barriers or expectations. Her testimonials highlight her ability to create tangible, positive impacts on both working and personal lives. With qualifications in both hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, Carol offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach grounded in Milton Erickson's principles that people seek therapy to change their future, not their past.
