Stephanie Betschart

Hi there, my name is Stephanie Betschart and I can work in partnership with you to define your vision of your authentic self.

I use to live in Bristol, where I qualified as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist in 2009. I now live in the wonderful lower Wye Valley and see clients in Bristol and Monmouth, as well as online.

I have been working as a therapist since 2008 (18+ years) and have been involved in the world of Buddhist meditation my whole adult life (from 1995). In 2011 I started practicing Qigong (Taichi).

I offer a Somatic approach to hypnotherapy. That means that we work with the whole of you to foster healing, overcome blocks and go deeper into supporting who you truly are.

I also run weekly Qigong classes in the Wye Valley (Brockweir): all are welcome!

The current class focuses on Taijiwuxigong, a form of Qigong specifically designed for self healing. The classes are approachable to all, we gradually learn through practice and progress through the Daoyins. Experience and new students benefit equally.

Both Hypnotherapy and 1:1 Qigong are available in Monmouth and Online

My approach is holistic and collaborative. We work together at your own pace to uncover authenticity, healing and your own resilience in a way that is supportive, safe and gently empowering.

In 2021, I founded "Embodied Heart" which offers an integrative approach that works on both a cognitive and somatic level by combining Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with Somatic therapy and a mindful approach.

I have found that such an embodied approach to hypnotherapy is particularly helpful for clients who feel "stuck", sometimes emotionally disconnected, or who want to integrate their spiritual lives in their psychological healing.

This approach is also reflected in how I run my Qigong workshops.

Both Hypnotherapy and 1:1 Qigong are available in Monmouth and Online.

I am looking forward to meeting you there.
