Hypnotherapy Specialist for Skin Conditions
You can’t get rid of your chronic skin condition, but you can change your mindset. Learn to live your life, despite the flares.
Don’t let your skin dictate your social plans, goals and confidence. Gain back control in hypnotherapy, with a therapist who has been through it too!
Were you told you would ‘grow out’ of your eczema as a child? Yeah, me too.
It just got worse. Making me more susceptible to infections and more reliant on steroid creams. Travelling and sleep become difficult. Exercise and showering were painful. Changing seasons and social events became scary. So I used more steroids. My skin became addicted (Topical Steroid Addiction, TSA). I lost my job and became bed bound with Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW).
Dermatology, work and GPs never offered mental health support. I developed phobias, suspected PTSD, insomnia, anxiety, skin picking and depression. I had cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, sex therapy and finally hypnotherapy.
What I really needed, was a combination of all these with someone who truly understood TSW and the mental impact of skin conditions.
So I decided to create this myself.
Mind Over Skin:
9 Weeks to Calm and Confident Living
A unique 1-2-1 hypnotherapy programme specifically for the mental impact of skin conditions.
Hypnotherapy cannot cure a skin condition, but it can:
Reduce the itch
Break habits (scratching & skin picking/checking)
Reduce stress, anxiety & fear
Improve sleep, pain & resilience
Help process grief, trauma & anger
Improve confidence & self-esteem
Stress drives hormones and causes more inflammation. It weakens the immune system and the skin barrier. It kicks off the histamine response, increase the itch. As hypnotherapy addresses stress, it can bring some relief for skin conditions. This can result in flares having less impact on your life, and even occurring less often and severely.
“It has been invaluable to have a therapist who personally understands skin conditions. I didn’t think anyone out there was offering anything like this, I feel very lucky to have found her.”
The outcome of this one-of-a-kind 9 week programme is not to cure your skin condition, I wish I could!
It is to help you overcome the mental impact of living with a skin condition.
Long-term eczema or Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) causes trauma, grief, low self-esteem, a loss of self, insomnia pain and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
The programme is designed to deal with these, so you can live your life despite the condition.
You get lifetime access to all the modules, session notes, homework and additional resources, so you can come back to it anytime you need.

What people have to say about Mind Over Skin: 9 Weeks to Calm & Confident Living
Working with Jen in the Mind-over-Skin course has been a truly transformative experience. I originally came to her hoping to understand the connection between my mind and skin, but I’ve gained so much more than that.
Jen has a way of creating such a safe, compassionate space. Each session is a mix of learning a new module, taking steps towards implementing changes and hypnosis, which feels so balanced and purposeful. I love how this combination helps me not only reflect but also take real steps forward.
What I admire most about Jen is her focus on moving forward. She encourages you to look at what you can learn and how to use that to create the life you want. It’s such a hopeful approach that has opened my eyes to possibilities I hadn’t seen before.
More than anything, I’ve felt so deeply understood in our sessions. There’s something so special about working with someone who just gets you, even when you can’t fully put it into words. Jen has that gift — she truly sees you, beyond what you say.
I’m so grateful that our paths crossed. Jen’s support has been life-changing, not just in helping me understand my skin but in shifting my mindset in ways I never thought possible. If you’re looking to heal, whether it’s your skin, your mind, or any part of your life, I can’t recommend her enough.
In each session she provides valuable insight about what’s going on in the brain which, even though you may have heard of certain things before, she explains it in such a way that suddenly it’s a lightbulb moment and you realise ‘oh… that’s what’s going on… I’m not crazy that makes perfect sense’.
Jennifer is just a lovely human being and you can tell from even before the first session she genuinely cares and wants to make a difference in your life. For anyone struggling with their mental health and breaking skin habits I would highly recommend this course.
I also recommend you join the itchy community, to talk to others who understand.
A great place to start is ‘Itch N Bitch’ by Katie, who is on a mission to normalise normal skin and raise awareness for eczema and other skin conditions. She has a brilliant Instagram, a blog, a podcast, and organises meet-ups to bring people together. Check out her website here.
A 1995 study of 38 participants demonstrated hypnotherapy as an effective treatment for eczema. 37 of the clients reported immediate improvement in symptoms, e.g. itching and sleeping. For most participants relief lasted until the follow-up study, 2 years later.
A 2020 trial of 27 people with eczema received an average of 6 hypnotherapy sessions. Before sessions people had an average eczema area and severity index score of 12 (moderate). After 6 sessions clients had an average score of 2.8 (mild).
“Thanks to Jen, my itch attacks are now few and far between, and when they do happen, I no longer panic, which allows me to stop them much quicker. Even more incredible, I’m now enjoying 8-10 hours of blissful, unaided sleep almost every night! My creativity has returned, and my focus at work has improved dramatically - I finally feel like myself again. Jen’s expertise, empathy, and unique understanding of TSW, coupled with her clear and insightful explanations, have made all the difference in my healing journey.”
