Hypnotherapy in Broughty Ferry, Dundee

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

 I’m Paula Hamilton Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist with a Discerning Life and in the video below I describe how Hypnotherapy can help you resolve an issue that may be struggling with and why in person sessions are worth pursuing. 


Issues I can help with include anxiety, depression and insomnia plus many others 


Clients come to my office from Dundee, Angus, Fife, Tayside, Aberdeen, Perth and further afield.

‘I can't thank, praise or recommend Paula highly enough. She is warm, caring, sensitive, understanding, supportive, and extremely skilled and experienced in both Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. I felt safe and comfortable and had confidence in her abilities from the outset. With her support and guidance my life has transformed from struggling with anxiety and depression to one I genuinely do feel good about.’ Katherine (Dundee)

'It is very much Paula’s experience and skill as a Hypnotherapist, that I believe have been key to my progress. Through her empathy and care, Paula instantly makes you feel comfortable.' Louise (Dundee)

‘From my first interaction with Paula on the telephone prior to our initial meeting, I found her extremely helpful. Her initial priority was not to try and persuade me to attend her sessions but rather to ensure that she could meet my needs in terms of being able to provide me with the right support. I found this to be very reassuring.

On our first consultation, Paula listened to my concerns which mostly centred around diagnosed health issues and anxieties. In this first appointment, both she and I decided whether she would be the best person to help. During each of our subsequent sessions, Paula explained anxiety, unpicking all of the different layers. This helped to give me a sense of understanding about where my anxieties came from and ways of managing them. Paula provided hypnosis recordings to listen to which I found extremely helpful, particularly to help me sleep. In the following sessions, we created a hypnosis that was specific to my individual needs and again, I found this to be very helpful. As a result of meeting with Paula, I now have a range of strategies to use when I feel myself becoming anxious, one of which is self-hypnosis which I am learning to do wherever I am.

I would highly recommend Paula as an approachable, trustworthy and professional hypnotherapist who listens to concerns, putting you at ease and equipping you with skills to transform your way of thinking.’ Susan (Fife)

‘Paula helped me shift the way I thought in a very short period of time and it has altered me for life.’ Shelley (Dundee)

Thank you so much, everything you said put things in my life in perspective and I'll never forget what you've done for me.’ Francesca (Angus)

‘I initially went to Paula for help with coping strategies due to difficulties I was experiencing at work. From the beginning, she provided practical techniques that helped me better understand how to respond in challenging situations. Her guidance has made a real difference in how I approach both workplace stress and difficult conversations. What stood out most was how comfortable she made me feel. I’ve always had trust issues, but over time I found myself opening up more and discussing deeper, more personal concerns. Paula created a space where I felt genuinely listened to and understood, without judgment. I’ve seen a few therapists in the past, but Paula is the first person I’ve truly felt I could be myself around. Not only does she listen with care and empathy, but she also equips me with the tools I need to handle difficult people and situations more confidently. I would highly recommend Paula to anyone looking for a supportive, insightful, and effective therapist.’ Janet 

 'I can't put into words just how amazing this lady is. Paula has helped me on the most incredibly difficult journey with such a compassionate and empathetic approach. She is the most genuine, caring person and her knowledge and skill in both psychotherapy and hypnotherapy is incomparable.
Paula instantly makes you feel at ease, she never judges and always helps you find the answers you need. She gave me the strength and courage to get to where I am today. I am in a much better place and feel like a different person thanks to her invaluable help and support. Thank you so much Paula.' Heather (Dundee) 

'Paula has been incredible to work with. She has guided me carefully to find the tools to confidently navigate all sorts challenges, whether in relationships, at work, managing stress and focusing techniques. Thank you Paula’ Tilda (Fife)

‘Paula has been absolutely amazing and helped me through some challenges. Paula not only confirmed my thoughts but also helped me take practical steps to a better future. Paula is friendly, understanding, approachable and caring. I cannot recommend her enough!’ Tammie (Fife)
