Hi, I’m Esther Hathorn.
My interest in therapy started over 30 years ago when I received some reflexology to help me relax before school exams. I worked part time as a dental nurse which lead to my later career in dentistry. I studied psychology at college before I went on to university to become a qualified dental nurse and then 3 years later qualified as a dental hygienist. I founded Visage Dental in 2016 and offer dental anxiety sessions/needle phobia. www.visagedental.com
I became particularly drawn to solution-focused approaches—methods that emphasise a client’s strengths, resources, and future goals, rather than delving deeply into past traumas. My hypnotherapy work compliments the services offered by Visage Medical which I founded in 2024. Visage Medical is deeply committed to supporting mental health and well-being. www.visageprivatemedical.com
Over the years I have seen and shared many of the challenges life throws at us and I felt that Solution focused hypnotherapy really resonated with me as I really believe in looking forward to implementing change & behaviours.
I am a mum with 3 children so I understand busy family life and finding that work life balance.
