About Lisa — You Be You Hypnotherapy
You Be You Hypnotherapy

Hi, I'm Lisa.
And I've probably been you.

Juggling too much, giving everything to everyone else, quietly wondering when it gets to be your turn. I've spent nearly two decades figuring that out — and now I help other women do the same, faster.

The real story

I've always been the person people talk to. At parties, at the school gate, at the bus stop — somehow there was always someone who needed to think something through out loud, and somehow I was always the one they turned to. I studied psychology at A-level and it felt like coming home. I just didn't know yet what to do with it.

For years I worked across a patchwork of roles — cooking courses, weaning programmes, supporting families in all kinds of ways. I loved the work. But I was always trading time for money, always starting over, never quite building the thing that felt like mine.

"At every gathering, there was someone I was coaching. I just didn't have a name for it yet."

When I discovered hypnotherapy — trained by Paul McKenna, and deepened through NLP work with master practitioners including Stephen Crabb and Tina Taylor, working directly with Dr Richard Bandler — something clicked. I looked back at the hypnobirthing I'd tried with my own children, the meditation I'd practised, the mindfulness, the years of instinctively helping people untangle themselves. It had all been pointing here.

I qualified in May 2023 and added a nutrition diploma alongside my hypnotherapy and NLP certifications — because I know that how we eat and how we feel about ourselves are rarely separate things.

I'm not a perfectly curated expert who has always had it figured out. I'm someone who has spent nearly 18 years learning how to juggle — and is now building the thing that finally makes sense of all of it. I work with women like me. And I'm not going to pretend I have every answer. But I know how to help you find yours.

Who I work with

I work best with women who are capable, intelligent, and quietly exhausted by the gap between who they are and who they know they could be. Women who have been giving everything to everyone else and are ready to invest in themselves — often for the first time.

  • Pregnant women who want to feel emotionally prepared and genuinely calm before birth
  • Mums navigating the enormous identity shift of becoming a mother
  • Women who want to reset their relationship with food — without another diet
  • Anyone stuck in a pattern of anxiety, self-doubt or people-pleasing that they're ready to let go of
  • People with phobias that have quietly been running — and shrinking — their lives

If you're not sure whether I can help with what you're carrying, just ask. The worst I can say is that I know someone better placed — and I'll tell you who.
