Meet your therapist

Frances Billi‑Holder

I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist and part-time web-geek. I live in Brighton with my dog, Maggie. When I’m not at my clinic, you’ll find me at the park, decorating the house, or tinkering on a spreadsheet.

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 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.

Inspired by the transformation I experienced, I signed up to hypnotherapy training to help others find their path to a life they love. I’ve witnessed how this powerful therapeutic tool can help clients make extraordinary changes, achieving a joy and fulfilment they didn’t think was possible. Now, I’m thrilled to offer my services through 10 Hypnotherapy.

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.

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.
