Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy in Hull and the East Riding
A new day - a new you
Professional, bespoke therapy with Dawn O'Donoghue, focused on you and what you need to change. Every new client gets a free 30 minute initial consultation, so you have nothing to lose.
Who am I?
A little bit about New Day Therapies
My name is Dawn O'Donoghue and I run a professional, dedicated and affordable hypnotherapy practice. I pride myself in being fully qualified, registered and insured.
My own experience with hypnotherapy began at 19 when, lacking self confidence, I sought the help of a hypnotherapist and since then have given lectures to large audiences, taught in schools and continue to use my own knowledge to help my clients as they work to overcome issues they have experienced in their lives.
My job is not to tackle your issues on your behalf, but to help and support you as you develop the tools to make changes and, according to my client's feedback and reviews, I am good at it.
What do I offer?
Therapy designed around you
I offer a range of therapies which are professional and bespoke, focusing on you and what you need to change. This could be hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique or Inner Child Workshops. I also use NLP, CBT, visualisation techniques and much more. It's your therapy, and it should be done the way that works best for you.
Self Esteem & Confidence
Shift the negativity that is holding your confidence back and rebuild your self esteem in a healthy, lasting way.
Weight Management
Hypnosis cannot change your weight for you, but it can help you find the focus and willpower to take control of it.
Stop Smoking
Break the habit for good. We will strengthen your resolve and help the new you emerge from the smoke.
Grief & Loss
Grief comes in waves. We may never 'get over' a loss, but we can learn to live again.
Public Speaking
Courses in presentation skills, confidence building and overcoming the nerves we all feel in front of an audience.
Students & Exam Stress
Support for SATs, GCSEs, degrees, vivas, practicals and driving tests, at any age. Always 5% discount for students.
Life Coaching
Gratitude diaries, vision boards, mandalas and meditation. Using creativity to re-frame how you think.
Referred by your GP or consultant?
I also support people living with fibromyalgia, IBS and other medically related conditions, using deep relaxation and gut-directed hypnotherapy alongside your medical care.
What can I help you with?
If it is holding you back, it is worth a conversation
These are the things clients most often bring to me, but the list is not a limit. I also see clients about presentation and sporting performance, dyspareunia and lack of libido, memory and learning lines, eating disorders including ARFID, interview technique and body language, restless brain and overthinking, workplace stress and bullying, and a long list of phobias.

Stop smoking
Stopping smoking
I've been a smoker for over 20 years and have tried stopping numbers of time. However, from just two sessions I can honestly say that I don't want to smoke anymore.

Hypnotherapy
Willing to try - glad I did
Most notably for me, I am now free of the self chastisement if I happen to have an off day. It has made refocusing on my aim a quicker and smoother process.

Confidence
First experience of hypnotherapy
Since the session I have been much less critical of myself and my courage and confidence are returning. Dawn is a wonderful therapist and a lovely person.
