I’m Dee Muchmore, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, holding the HPD, DSFH, MNCH (Reg.) and AfSFH (Reg.) qualifications.
I trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT), widely regarded as the gold standard in solution focused hypnotherapy training. I hold both the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD).
I've always believed there's a quiet kind of magic in everyday life.
The steam rising from a cup of tea. Rain tapping on the window. Birdsong on a morning walk. A smile from a stranger. Those little moments remind me to slow down, breathe, and actually notice what's around me. They remind me that joy isn't always something we have to go looking for, because sometimes it's already there, in the ordinary bits of life.
For a long time though, I found it really difficult to feel that joy myself.
Living with Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia left me anxious, exhausted and feeling completely disconnected from myself. I didn't really feel like me anymore. Discovering hypnotherapy was a turning point. It helped me quiet my mind, ease my pain, and gradually find my way back to myself.
That experience is what led me to become a hypnotherapist.
My initials are DLM, which is where the name DLM Hypnotherapy comes from. But over time, I've come to like another meaning for it too: Discover, Learn & Move.
For me, that's a lovely way of describing the journey of hypnotherapy. Taking some time to discover more about yourself and what's going on beneath the surface, learning new ways of thinking and responding, and then finding a way to move forward towards the life you want.
Today I work with women experiencing medical and health anxiety, helping them find a little more calm, rebuild their confidence and feel more like themselves again. I don't believe you need fixing, because you're not broken. Sometimes life just gets difficult, and we can lose sight of the person we were underneath all the worry.
My job isn't to tell you who to be. It's to help you find your way back to yourself.
Originally from Australia, I've happily called Scotland home for many years. Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I worked in whisky and tourism. These days you'll usually find me out in nature, lost in a good book, going on coffee dates with friends, or playing my frame drum. And more often than not, my cat Cirrus will be somewhere nearby.
Life isn't always fair. I know that from experience. But I also know that we can change how we meet it.
If you're ready to begin finding your way back to yourself, I'd be honoured to walk beside you.
