About Nicole
Helping children and families find calm, confidence and hope again
If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re worried about your child.
Perhaps they’re struggling with anxiety, refusing to go to school, finding friendships difficult, feeling overwhelmed, or living with ADHD or autism. Maybe you’ve tried everything you can think of, but nothing seems to make a lasting difference.
First of all, you’re not alone.
I’m Nicole Hall, founder of Hummingbird Hypnotherapy, and I help children, teenagers and adults build confidence, reduce anxiety and create positive change using Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy.
For more than ten years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families across Lincolnshire and throughout the UK, helping them move away from stress and overwhelm towards calmer, happier lives.
Why I love working with children and families
I’ve always believed that every child deserves to feel safe, confident and capable.
Before becoming a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I spent 17 years working within the care sector, supporting older adults, teenagers and young people with additional needs and challenging behaviour. That experience taught me that every person has strengths—even when anxiety, low mood or overwhelm make them difficult to see.
Today, I specialise in supporting children aged 6+, teenagers and adults with challenges including:
- Anxiety
- School anxiety and school avoidance
- ADHD and emotional regulation
- Autism-related anxiety and confidence
- Stress and overwhelm
- Low confidence and self-esteem
- Fears and phobias
- Sleep difficulties
- Exam stress
- Parent overwhelm
My aim isn’t simply to help people cope—it’s to help them move forward with greater confidence and resilience.
A therapy approach that’s positive, practical and supportive
At Hummingbird Hypnotherapy, every session is warm, welcoming and completely judgement-free.
Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy combines modern neuroscience, psychotherapy and relaxation techniques to help your brain focus on solutions rather than problems.
Rather than repeatedly revisiting difficult experiences, we’ll work together to understand what life looks like when things are better and take practical, achievable steps towards that future.
Whether we’re supporting a child who’s struggling to attend school, a teenager with anxiety, or a parent feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, every session is tailored to the individual.
Experience you can trust
Alongside running Hummingbird Hypnotherapy, I’m proud to:
- Senior Lecturer teaching Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy
- Lead Lecturer for CPHT Nottingham
- Level 5 Solution Focused Supervisor supporting other therapists
- Deliver workshops for parents, schools and organisations
- Support local families through community projects across Lincolnshire
- Continue professional development in safeguarding, neuroscience and neurodiverse support
Learning never stops, because I believe my clients deserve the very best support possible.
You’re not expected to have all the answers
One of the things clients tell me most often is how relieved they felt after our first conversation.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You simply need a safe space where you and your child can feel heard, understood and supported.
Together, we’ll explore practical ways to help your brain build new, healthier patterns so you can move towards a calmer, happier future.
Let’s take the first step together
I offer a free initial consultation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, understand how Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy works, and decide whether it’s the right approach for you or your child.
Whether you’re looking for support for yourself or someone you love, I’d be delighted to help.
