Welcome to a Discerning Life - Psychotherapy & Hypnotherapy Practice, Dundee

I’m Paula Hamilton Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist

Dip.C.H.t., G.H.R.Reg., S(Snr).Q.H.P., C.N.H.C.(Hypnotherapy)


At a Discerning Life I believe you want to be a person that lives life to the full. In order to do that, you need a life you feel good about.


The problem is that life can give you more downs than ups which can make you feel anxious, lost and stuck.


I believe that with the right tools and guidance you can learn to handle life's downs skilfully and fully enjoy life’s ups.


I understand how it can feel to struggle in a life you don't like which is why I help people create a life they feel good about and a future to be inspired by in a professional, supportive and empathetic space.

‘Highly recommended!’ Valerie (Dundee)
