ABOUT
CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST, BREATH WORK PRACTITIONER & NERVOUS SYSTEM INFORMED THERAPIST
Based in Farnham, online sessions available.
Juliet Hollingsworth specialises in nervous system dysregulation.
For nearly twenty years I have supported people with anxiety, sleep issues, trauma responses, fears, addictive patterns and chronic stress. What looks like a list of separate problems often comes back to the same thing: a body struggling to regulate itself in a modern world.
Through hypnosis, breath work and nervous-system-informed therapy, I help people understand the patterns shaping their responses so they can begin building safety, awareness and capacity from the inside out.
My work sits at the intersection of non-state hypnosis, breath work, my Human Mismatch Theory and nervous-system-informed therapy. I help you understand the internal patterns that shape your reactions so you can build the capacity for change at your pace.
MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER
My clients and their stories shaped me more than any course ever could. I have spent years listening with full presence to the people who sit with me, noticing the thread that runs through their words and the patterns that feel invisible to them.
When you sit with me, I pay attention to the messages coming from your nervous system. What feels like a tangle of emotions often forms a clearer picture when seen through another set of eyes. Together, we make sense of what is happening inside you so you can move forward with greater awareness, regulation and clarity.
My work draws from hypnosis, breath work, nervous-system awareness and therapeutic understanding. Sessions are calm, spacious and fully personalised. We go at your pace and follow what feels real. You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what the problem is. You can bring the scattered pieces and together we make sense of them.
NERVOUS SYSTEM AWARENESS
The ability to notice and understand how stress, safety, overwhelm and disconnection affect the body, mind and behaviour.
NON STATE HYPNOSIS
Hypnosis is a natural part of focused attention and suggestion.
INTUITIVE APPROACH
Drawing on lived experience, patterns and deep listening alongside formal therapeutic knowledge.
EVIDENCE BASED
Approaches and techniques supported by psychological research and clinical evidence.
AN EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH
Evolutionary understanding that explains why a modern world overwhelms an ancient body.
WHAT ARE SESSIONS LIKE?
Sessions are calm, spacious and fully personalised. We go at your pace and follow what feels real. You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what the problem is. You can bring the scattered pieces and together we will make sense of them.
If you would like to know more about my background and qualifications, you can find them here. What shapes my work more than anything else, though, is human experience: listening, holding space, noticing patterns and supporting people to feel more at home in themselves.
FOUNDATIONS OF MY WORK
My work draws from a blend of:
Non-state hypnosis — creating the conditions for change through focused awareness.
Breath work and conscious breathing approaches — working with the breath to support nervous-system regulation, emotional processing and deeper self-awareness.
Nervous-system awareness — understanding how stress, overwhelm and modern life shape the way we think, feel and respond.
Psychotherapy and counselling — creating space to explore emotions, patterns, relationships and lived experience with curiosity and compassion.
Mindfulness-based approaches — helping people slow down enough to notice what is happening internally without immediately reacting to it.
Evolutionary understanding and Human Mismatch Theory — exploring what happens when ancient biological systems meet a fast-moving modern world.
Evidence-based therapeutic ideas alongside intuition developed through years of deeply listening to people and their stories.
Rather than applying one fixed method, I work responsively with the individual in front of me. Sessions are shaped around what feels most relevant, supportive and sustainable for you.

ALTERED STATE BREATHWORK
Through specific breathing patterns, music and focused awareness, altered-state breath work creates the conditions for shifts in emotion, perception, memory and self-understanding. Many people describe accessing parts of themselves that are normally hidden beneath the noise of everyday life.
My approach is grounded in nervous-system awareness, safety and integration. This work is not about forcing catharsis or chasing intense experiences, but creating enough safety in the body for whatever needs attention to emerge naturally.
ALTERED STATES
Breath can shift consciousness in a way that changes how we experience emotion, memory and self awareness.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
The breath directly affects the nervous system and can help move the body between states of activation, shutdown and regulation.
INTEGRATION
The experience itself is only part of the process. Understanding and integrating what arises matters just as much.
This is different from simple relaxation breathing exercises.
Altered-state breath work can become deeply emotional, symbolic, expansive or insight-driven. Experiences vary from person to person and sessions are approached carefully and at your own pace.
Learn more about breath work and how it can help you.
Across human history, altered states have been part of ritual, healing, connection and transformation.
My work explores altered states through hypnosis, breathwork and nervous-system awareness in a way that feels grounded, safe and human.

MODERN HYPNOTHERAPY WITH A HYPNOTHERAPIST
When I first qualified as a hypnotherapist in 2008, life looked very different. Smartphones had just been invented, and the digital world hadn’t yet taken over. Today, many of my clients come to me feeling “broken”, but together we often discover it’s not them, it’s their lifestyle that’s breaking them.
Therapy is where we explore both: what’s happening inside you, and what’s happening around you. Together we find ways to restore rhythm, safety, and connection so you can feel like yourself again.
LET’S BEGIN
If you’re ready to reconnect with your truth and move through life’s thresholds with courage and clarity, I’d be honoured to hold space for you.
