Meet your therapist

Frances Billi‑Holder

I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist, my passion is helping people overcome their challenges to create a life they love. I live in Brighton & Hove, and I work online with clients as far-flung as Sydney.

Like many therapists… I started out as the client.

Through life’s twists and turns, my mental health wasn’t always where I wanted it to be (understatement!). I spent 5+ years in traditional talking therapies, and while they helped me get a better understanding of my problems, I didn’t feel any closer to finding solutions.

And so, after dragging my feet for many years, I finally booked my first Solution Focused Hypnotherapy session. And wow. I was stunned! After just a few weeks, my mood, confidence, and outlook were better than they’d ever been. My new-found quality of life has stayed strong ever since. Sometimes, it feels like a miracle to be where I am today.

Inspired my own transformation, I trained in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Now, I’m thrilled to pay it forward through my practice, 10 Hypnotherapy. I’ve witnessed how this powerful tool can help people make extraordinary changes, achieving a joy, fulfilment and clarity they didn’t think was possible.

When I’m not seeing my wonderful clients, you’ll find me at the park chasing my dog Maggie, running along the seafront, engrossed in a book, or playing card games very competitively with my pals.

Why 10 Hypnotherapy?

Imagine a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 is life as you’d like it to be. Where do you see yourself on that scale now? My goal is to help you move closer to a 10, whatever that means for you.

How we perceive the world begins in the mind. I believe we can harness its power towards our ideal vision of happiness and success. We just need to be taught how.

My qualifications

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Warwick in 2005. Starting in 2023, I trained in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy at CPHT in Brighton, an accredited Centre of Excellence in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. I hold a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and a Level 4 Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD), which is recognised as the gold standard in the field.

I’m currently training towards a Level 5 Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma (AHD), the highest award available in our field.

As a registered member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH) and the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), I maintain the highest professional standards. Additionally, I have an enhanced DBS check, comprehensive insurance, and participate in regular supervision.

Before hypnotherapy

I worked in the video game industry, recruitment, banking, and social enterprises before finally setting up a web service for non-profits, which I still run today.
