Iona Lawson Hypnotherapy, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in Cupar, Fife & Online

Practical, forward-looking support for anxiety, stress, low mood, lack of confidence, sleep and more.

I’m Iona, a fully qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist based in Cupar, Fife. I work with adults and young people aged 10+ who want to make positive changes and feel more like themselves again.

I offer face-to-face sessions in Cupar and online sessions for clients throughout the UK.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines positive, solution-focused talking therapy with hypnosis. We focus on where you want to get to, rather than spending your sessions concentrating on the past.

Using an understanding of how the brain works, alongside carefully considered questions, practical steps and guided relaxation (trance), we work together to help you understand your thoughts and behaviours and enable you to make positive changes.

If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, lacking in confidence, struggling with sleep or simply not feeling like yourself, I’d be very happy to have a chat about how I may be able to help.

Your first step is a free, informal chat — with no pressure to book.

What can Solution Focused Hypnotherapy help with?

People come to me for many different reasons. You might be struggling with something specific or simply feel that life has become harder and more challenging than you’d like.

I work with clients experiencing:

  • Stress
    Feeling stressed, overwhelmed.
  • Anxiety
    Constantly worrying, feeling anxious.
  • Low mood
    Feeling low, stuck, lacking motivation or struggling to see a way forward.
  • Low self-esteem
    Lacking confidence, doubting yourself or holding yourself back.
  • Insomnia
    Finding it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep or switch off your busy mind.
  • Anger management
    Finding it difficult to manage your emotions, becoming easily frustrated or losing your temper.
  • Phobias
    Feeling anxious, fearful or overwhelmed in situations, or around particular things.
  • OCD
    Experiencing unwanted, repetitive thoughts or feeling driven to carry out certain behaviours or rituals.
  • IBS

  • and many more…

Please have a look at what I can help with or contact me if it’s not listed above.

A different way of looking at therapy

One of the things people often like about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is that we don’t need to spend our sessions going back over the past.

Instead, we’ll look at where you are now, where you’d like to get to and what could help you move towards that preferred future.

We’ll talk about what’s been going well, understand a little more about how your brain works, and identify practical steps you can take between sessions.

This type of therapy is calm, positive and forward-looking. Together we can retrain your brain.

How many sessions will I need?

There isn’t a fixed number of sessions because everyone is different.

Many clients attend between 6–12 sessions, although some need fewer and others may benefit from longer-term support.

Smoking cessation is different and is normally offered as a one-off session. Fears and phobias are also treated differently and will often require a shorter course of sessions, usually around three.

We’ll discuss what feels appropriate for you during your Initial Consultation. You can then decide whether you’d like to book further sessions.

There is no obligation to continue after your Initial Consultation.

What’s the next step?

Quick Chat
I’m always happy to have a free, informal chat over the phone first. Please drop me an email, text, or call to arrange this. Alternatively, click on the button below ‘Book an Appointment’ and fill in the contact form.

This gives me the opportunity to understand what you’d like help with, and I’ll briefly explain how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works. From there, it’s completely up to you whether you’d like to take things further—there’s absolutely no pressure.

If you do wish to continue, the next step is an Initial Consultation.

Initial Consultation
This can take place either face-to-face in Cupar or online (via Zoom) and usually lasts between 30–45 minutes. I offer this session free of charge so that we can get to know each other, and you can decide if I’m the right therapist for you.

During the session, I’ll ask some straightforward questions to gain a clear understanding of what you’re looking for help with. I’ll also explain how the brain works and how I work too.

Many people find this session incredibly helpful and begin to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Further Sessions
After the Initial Consultation, it’s entirely your choice whether you’d like to book further sessions. Most clients attend between 6–12 sessions (sometimes more), but this varies from person to person.

Please note that fears, phobias, and smoking cessation are treated differently and may require a different number of sessions. Please look under treatments to find out more.

Confidence at work

Iona and I worked together for a number of sessions and I can honestly say that the hypnotherapy we did has helped me enormously in the past few months.  She has a calm way but positive way of guiding you through your issues but isn't afraid to push when needed.  I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Specific phobia

I was fascinated from the start by the brain explanation at our first meeting. Suddenly so many things began to make sense, in terms of how we react to situations and how we can change our mindset. I’ve always had an issue with sleep and wasn’t actually going to see Iona about that but after our first session I had the best night’s sleep in years!

Our sessions have been really fun and I can’t tell you the difference it's had on my life in general, from working out a new direction in relation to work, to coping with the day to day challenges of life. It’s been transformational. It’s such a positive type of therapy. I also would like to add that, it's very important to pick the right therapist for you. Iona has a very friendly, warm way about her. Her voice is so soothing and her attention to detail it's incredible. I felt so comfortable throughout. She is amazing, hence why I will always continue to have her as my therapist. I have tried many different therapists and by far she is the best.

Stopping Smoking

Fear of Public Speaking and Lack of Confidence at Work

Iona has a calming, positive and reassuring presence that makes her a wonderful hypnotherapist. Over the course of 8 weeks she helped me to improve my confidence and overall well-being as I re-entered the world post-pandemic. Even though our sessions have now come to an end, I continue to use her practices and techniques daily to be help me my best self and work from a positive mindset. I enjoyed my time spent with her and would highly recommend working with her to overcome fears and build confidence. Thank you, Iona, for helping me to feel like myself again!’

Spider Phobia

Wow... I have had an absolute terror of spiders for as long as I can remember and visited Iona to see if she could help me to gain some control of my fear. Iona was a great choice of therapist, very welcoming and easy to connect with, she put me at ease and helped me to feel safe and in control throughout the process. I now find myself referring to spiders as "darling" while shooing them outside. Amazing. Thank you so much Iona!

Anxiety and Stress

I started working with Iona at a time in my life when I was struggling with anxiety, was increasingly becoming paranoid and was drinking every night to avoid thinking about traumatic experiences that I have experienced throughout my life. In our first session, Iona explained how the two sides of the brain work and how my thoughts and reactions were a natural primitive human instinct to protective myself from perceived threats and how hypnotherapy could help me retrain my brain to utilise the logical side of the brain to think positively and more rationally.

I started working with Iona at a time in my life when I was struggling with anxiety, was increasingly becoming paranoid and was drinking every night to avoid thinking about traumatic experiences that I have experienced throughout my life. In our first session, Iona explained how the two sides of the brain work and how my thoughts and reactions were a natural primitive human instinct to protective myself from perceived threats and how hypnotherapy could help me retrain my brain to utilise the logical side of the brain to think positively and more rationally. This explanation really resonated with me and at a time when I was emotionally at an all time low, through working with Iona, I began to understand that I can’t change the past, but the way I think and consequently act can help make the future more positive for me and those around me. I have now become more aware of when I am beginning to feel anxious (e.g. stiffening of shoulders, fidgeting, voice heightening} and have been able to take a minute to recollect myself and be more rational in my thoughts and focus on the possible positive outcomes. Life will always present different challenges, but Iona has helped me feel more resilient and more positive about the future. Thank you, Iona.

Night time anxiety

After suffering from night time anxiety for several years I contacted Iona in hope she may be able to help, in many ways I saw this as a last resort, however I’m hugely grateful for the understanding and help this has given me in being able to control my anxiety. I would highly recommend Iona to anyone thinking ‘could this help me’. The answer is almost certainly yes.

Anxiety

Iona is simply superb. From start to finish her calm approach and positive mindset was inspirational. In fact, so much so that I feel as a result of her sessions, every day I honestly feel so much more calmer and positive and that is really thanks to Iona. Not only did Iona’s explanation help of how the repetitive (and what seems relentless) negative side of the brain works, especially when our stress gets too much but also the hypnotherapy too.

Negative thinking

At first I wasn't 100% sure that hypnotherapy was the answer to my mental health problems. I got that wrong and it does work. Wish I had done it a lot sooner than I did. Iona is brilliant at what she does. Always pushing me for 1 more positive from my week that helped me realise there are more positives in my life than I realise. I have the tools now to keep me on the right track. Can't thank Iona enough for everything she has helped me achieve. Would highly recommend booking sessions with her.

Iona has changed my life around. I was not confident and I was just thinking about negatives all the time. Iona changed my way of thinking. At first I thought this is not for me but I gave it a couple of sessions. I have now just done 12 sessions and am loving life with the help from Iona. I would highly recommend her, for me she was a lifesaver, thank you Iona.

Iona put me at ease straight away and after an overview of hypnotherapy and of me, we explored aspect of me and my life we should work on. I chose confidence because many years of mental illness and ill-health had robbed me of all confidence. The sessions have a structure, so you know what to expect each week. We explored confidence and what it means to me, and each session focused on exactly that. I learned about the three Ps of positivity and how my confidence ties in with the methodology. The hypnotherapy aspect of each appointment was a breath of fresh air. Settle down, relax and listen to Iona take me on a journey of exploration. Iona’s voice is beautifully relaxing and makes trusting the process a breeze. The theme of confidence ran throughout the hypnotherapy and helped me so much to develop exactly that. The aspect of the appointment that was most profound for me was rating my feeling of confidence in different scenarios and seeing a score. After just three sessions, my score shot up the chart and from there onward I saw a steady growth. This encouraged me so much and just seeing this improved my confidence. There were, of course, dips along the way, but that’s life, but growth continued throughout. I was able to experience real confidence out in the real world and deal with situations I had never done for many years. Hypnotherapy has changed my life for...

Help after traumatic time

I went through a 12 week course with Iona following, and to be honest probably during a pretty traumatic time in my life. The skills she taught me over the 12 weeks have been instrumental in my healing process and now my day-to-day life.

Mental Health Collapse

I recently underwent a 12 week programme with Iona to try and help me overcome and handle a mental health collapse and to assist me with stress management in respect of my job and in general day to day life. I was quite nervous and apprehensive ahead of the first session, but Iona made me feel at ease and comfortable right away!  The information that Iona shared with me with regards to how the brain works and how I can understand it better, and how to identify certain triggers and coping techniques has made an absolutely massive difference in my...

I recently underwent a 12 week programme with Iona to try and help me overcome and handle a mental health collapse and to assist me with stress management in respect of my job and in general day to day life. I was quite nervous and apprehensive ahead of the first session, but Iona made me feel at ease and comfortable right away!  The information that Iona shared with me with regards to how the brain works and how I can understand it better, and how to identify certain triggers and coping techniques has made an absolutely massive difference in my life in how I process and handle stressful situations. Every session I could feel my confidence growing and I was feeling like the old me as the weeks went on as I learned more about what worked for me and how my brain should be processing matters. When the last session arrived, I really did feel like I’d got my life back as I left Iona’s office for the last time and I honestly can’t thank Iona enough for everything she has done for me. I will be forever grateful to her for helping me pull myself back from the brink. If you read this and you’re struggling with similar issues, please reach out to Iona. She is quite frankly, a life saver!

Fear of flying

I just wanted to touch base with you re my trip. I really can’t thank you enough for helping with my trip, it all went very well & I was very calm & no racing heart or worriesabout the flight. In total with a couple of internal flights (30hrs ) I flew. We had the most amazing holiday & it was so lovely to see our daughter. So, thank you again for helping me get over my fear

Facing a challenge in life

I went to see Iona as I was having some family troubles and was withdrawing from my everyday life. I went into the hypnotherapy with an open mind. I found Iona very calming and non judgemental and she gave me time to talk and explained how I was feeling. After a couple of weeks I started to notice I was dealing with things in a different way and starting to do things I had avoided in the past. Listening to the app then listening to Iona every week was very calming and relaxing. I can't explain it but it was... Read All

Anxiety

I cannot thank you enough and wish to express how much of a positive impact your hypnotherapy has made to my life.

I would highly recommend this type of therapy to anyone who struggles with life's difficulties. Please don't hesitate to reach out and find the support you need to navigate life's challenges.

Hard time in life

I was a bit nervous trying this hypnotherapy I didn’t know what to expect and I was having a really hard time in my life and didn’t know how this could possibly help me. To say it helped me is an understatement, this therapy gave me myself back but a new version of me! I was never a person that took time to think about myself, always put others first, this therapy didn’t change that but it made look at myself and how I really felt as a person, I was asked about things I would never have thought or...

To say it helped me is an understatement, this therapy gave me myself back but a new version of me! I was never a person that took time to think about myself, always put others first, this therapy didn’t change that but it made look at myself and how I really felt as a person, I was asked about things I would never have thought or ask myself, this to me was a big eye opener as sometimes you don’t think about yourself or your self worth. You are allowed 5 mins to yourself, you are allowed to say not today! The hypnotherapy was so relaxing (my time) I looked forward to it every week! What happens during these sessions is all about you, Iona has such a lovely relaxing voice and you feel comfortable, that comfortable I said to her “ if I fall asleep I hope I don’t snore “ At one of the first sessions Iona explains how your brain works and oh my god it was so true and I no longer felt like I was going mad and loosing a grip of my life! I would recommend this positive therapy to anyone, do not struggle alone, I was so lucky Iona was recommended to me, and I can’t thank her enough! If I had one bit of advise to give to anyone ( this was what I found difficult to do at first )you need to take one day at a time, healing doesn’t just happen over night, give yourself a break, and you will be ok! And with the help...

Help with mental health

I started hypnosis therapy back in November ‘25. I was referred to Iona by the Neuk as I was struggling with my mental health.  With each session I have felt better, calmer, less stressed and things that made me feel overwhelmed back then no longer feel like such a big deal. Iona also gave me a hypnosis recording that I’ll listen to forever. My wife and I currently listen to it together before bed and it helps both of us. I would highly recommended Iona if you are considering hypnosis for your own health and wellbeing or any other area... Read All

Thank you so much Iona. I’m so grateful.

Anxiety at work

I went to see Iona to explore poor sleep patterns and anxiety that related to work. Iona's sessions were engaging and calming. I developed a new confidence in my abilities and started sleeping more soundly. To my astonishment I also secured an amazing new job!

Stress

On first meeting Iona I was very nervous and didn't really know what to expect. But she made me feel very calm and explained what we were doing in a very clear and precise way. As the weeks went on I started to relax see how bad a position I was really in and how much improvements we were making. It just goes to show meeting the right person with the right skill set listening to them and putting the effort in yourself I never thought I would feel or be in the position I am today.

I can't recommend or speak highly enough of Iona in a professional way and as a person she really has changed my life in a massive way.

Decision Making

Working with Iona has been fantastic - she has helped me elevate my quality of life and my decision making process so that everything feels that more freer and easier. Best of all, I have the tools to continue the work beyond our sessions so I can take advantage of the change that together we have affected and double down. I cannot recommend working with Iona enough, truly a brilliant hypnotherapist. I really enjoyed her approach that perfectly blends science with compassion.
