Debbie Waller

Debbie Waller is a hypnotherapist, trainer, supervisor, and author, in clinical practice since 2003 and teaching hypnotherapy since 2011. She writes professional books on hypnotherapy training, therapeutic communication, and effective, client-centred practice, grounded in real clinical experience.

Her work is widely used by hypnotherapists, trainers, and students. Titles such as The Metaphor Toolbox and Their Worlds, Your Words are particularly valued for their focus on developing strong therapeutic relationships, effective session content, and personalised approaches rather than rigid techniques.

Debbie also writes Hypnotherapy Training & Practitioner, a long-running online magazine covering practical hypnotherapy techniques, professional decision-making, and building a sustainable therapy practice. She is a former editor of the NCH Hypnotherapy Journal and has spoken at UK and international events on topics including aphantasia in therapy.

She is a member of the APHP, GHR, and ICBCH. Alongside her professional books, she also writes self-help titles on anxiety and wellbeing.

When not writing or teaching, Debbie shares her home office with a dog, a giant tropical fish tank, and a very grumpy tortoise.
