Verity Vale
Hypnotherapist

Verity Vale is a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. She qualified from the prestigious Clifton Practice of Hypnotherapy in Bristol, United Kingdom and has resided in Nova Scotia since 2018. Verity offers a solution focused approach to therapy and works with clients to ascertain where they currently are, where they would like to be and how they would like to get there. As C.S. Lewis said ‘You can’t change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending’. Thus the therapy uses a positive and forward thinking approach.

Hypnotherapy utilizes trance which is a deeply relaxed state during which the subconscious can stop looking for danger (lions and tigers) and concentrate instead on problem solving and helping the client to achieve their goals and wishes. It can be used to treat a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, anger, insomnia, weight loss, fears and phobias, anti smoking and also a range of physical conditions.
