Your Mind Is Your Superpower | Meet Eteri McKenzie, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist.
Your Mind Is Your Superpower | Meet Eteri McKenzie, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist in Edinburgh.
Procrastination that feels physical.
The freeze response blocks the prefrontal cortex. Sessions restore access to deliberate action.
Burnout that rest doesn’t fix.
The nervous system is exhausted from chronic stress activation. Sessions regulate the response that’s keeping it there.
Decision paralysis.
The prefrontal cortex goes offline under threat load. Sessions rebuild the conditions for clear, committed thinking.
Perfectionism that stops progress.
A freeze response to the threat of being judged. Sessions interrupt the pattern before it stalls you again.
Anxiety that won’t switch off.
The amygdala is stuck on threat detection long after the original threat has passed. Sessions bring it back to baseline.
Sleep that doesn’t restore.
A nervous system is still running a stress response through the night. Sessions work on the activation that’s keeping the brain from fully switching off.
Stop confusing your nervous system state with your identity. The freeze response was learned. It can be updated.
The brain that got stuck is the same brain that rewires. Solution-focused hypnotherapy works directly at the level of the stress response. The sessions regulate your nervous system and rebuild the conditions your brain needs to move forward.
The Brake Can Be Released.
If you recognise yourself on this page, the initial consultation is where we establish whether the approach is the right fit and what the work will look like for your specific pattern. Sessions are available in person in Edinburgh and online.
Hypnotherapy Services
Most hypnotherapy addresses what you’re experiencing. These sessions work on the neurological state, producing it. The method is solution-focused, the grounding is neuroscience, and the target in every session is the stress response itself.

One on One session (Online & Offline)
Personalised, neuroscience-informed hypnotherapy designed to help you move from stress and overthinking into calm focus. Each session is confidential and tailored to your goals, supporting sustainable emotional and behavioural change.

Group Sessions for Businesses
These sessions help employees restore focus and motivation by reducing stress at the nervous system level. Using neuroscience-informed hypnotherapy, we address overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout, helping teams reconnect with energy, grounded awareness, and confidence in the workplace.

Individual & Group Sessions for Sports Teams
Designed to enhance focus, resilience, and emotional regulation for athletes and teams. These neuroscience-informed sessions use hypnotherapy techniques to improve confidence, concentration, and recovery, supporting consistent high performance and mental strength.
