Welcome to Back on Track Hypnotherapy. I’m Debbie McAvilley, a fully qualified and experienced Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist.  At Back on Track Hypnotherapy I offer a friendly, supportive, trauma-informed and personalised approach to help you to make positive changes

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, overthinking, stress, a phobia or an unwanted habit, we will focus on where you want to be, and the steps that can help you to get there

“Today is your opportunity to create the tomorrow you want” – Ken Poirot

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is based on neuroscience and can be a very effective way to re-evaluate your thoughts, actions and behaviour

√  For most issues you don’t even have to re-visit past events or the history of the issue; we will work on how you currently feel and how we can move towards how you want to feel.

√  I can tailor my sessions to meet my clients needs, and to address individual issues.

√  I specialise in working with anxiety and phobias, but am more than happy to work with most issues.

√  I am now able to offer face to face appointments at my lovely therapy space in beautiful, historic Arundel. I am also offering online sessions and I can visit you at home, within a 20 mile radius of Littlehampton.

Please be aware I do not offer any form of regression Hypnotherapy…but, for anything else, just contact me and I will see if I can help.

Spider Phobia

“I had hypnotherapy with Debbie for my spider phobia.  Debbie was extremely professional and I felt fully at ease.  She explained how my brain worked in relation to phobias.  Afterwards I found I can now remove spiders from the bath.  So I am happy to recommend her”.

Fear of Flying

“We all have our own fears and issues; some we can deal with ourselves, some need a helping hand from somewhere, or someone.  Although I have fought my fear of flying for decades, it is always there and always has a detrimental effect on my ability to enjoy seeing family who live outside the UK.  Debbie’s thoughtful, gently and inciteful hypnotherapy has given me strength and an arsenal of mechanisms to overcome my anxiety.  You need have no concerns over the process, Debbie put me at complete ease from the first moment.  I could not recommend her more highly”.

Smoking Cessation

“I have had two hypnotherapy sessions with Debbie McAvilley to work on my smoking; a habit I have had for several decades.  I found the sessions amazing.  Debbie’s technique is so soothing and her beautiful voice washes over you like water cleansing you of your issues…I would definitely recommend anyone seeking hypnotherapy to see Debbie and find out how helpful she can be”.

Stress and Positivity

“I’m unable to visualise, so I initially thought hypnotherapy might not work so well for me.  I knew from the first session that Debbie was going to help me live a more positive life.  Debbie explained how the brain works both verbally and visually which has helped me understand so much more about my thinking and approach to difficult situations.  My stress levels have reduced immensely.  If I do feel stressed I remind myself of our sessions and the positive thought process.  I sleep better and have a more positive outlook on life.  Thank you Debbie”.

Public Speaking

I was struggling with public speaking.  I am not sure if it was fear, but the thought of public speaking heightened my anxiety, and I got physical symptoms of anxiety.  I contacted Debbie, who was understanding, and explained how hypnotherapy would help by retraining my thoughts and beliefs.  We had several sessions and I can happily say my confidence with public speaking grew and my anxiety diminished.  I am so grateful for Debbie's help.

Chronic Pain

Debbie's expertise in hypnotherapy truly helped me find relief from my cracked ribs.  Not only did I feel inredibly relaxed during the sessions, but she also took the time to explain how my brain was responding to the injury - it was a game changer!  I finally understood the mind-body connection and felt empowered to take control.  10/10 would recommend Debbie for anyone seeking pain relief - I will definitely be back if I need help in the future!
