Debbie Saunders – D.Hyp, CBHyp, MBSCH
Having had an eventful but often traumatic life growing up in Africa, I decided during my "gap year" to the UK at the age of 42 to change my life completely. I left a successful career in Commodity Trading and decided to follow my passions to live a happier, more contented life. I spent the first 3 years studying Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy mainly to help me deal with what transpired to be Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The link between Psychology and Weight in particular fascinated me and I have since gone on to study to Transactional Analysis, NLP, Reiki, RECBT, Person Centred Therapy and Psychoanalysis.
An opportunity arose in 2009 for me to use all my knowledge and experience by starting my own business and since then, I have been helping people change their lives too.
The first few years were spent with the weightloss franchise LighterLife but after a while, I saw a need to offer my skills to a wider range of clients.
You would be amazed at the various topics that affect weight; grief, anxiety, loneliness, depression, low self esteem and confidence, unhelpful communication heard as a child, lack of money etc etc etc. Because my groups cover all these issues and offer practical CBT based solutions, I have been invited to run workshops for various corporate organisations and these have now become an important part of my work.
Whilst working full time with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can be challenging, it does allow me a unique empathy with those who struggle with chronic conditions. When I say "I understand", I mean it. But I can also offer authentic hope to those who want to get more out of life.
I am passionate about helping people find a their value, worth and purpose. After all, we only have one life! Let's live the best one we can.
