ABOUT MINDFLOW
THIS IS ME ....
Hello, I’m Toby Smith — founder of Mind Flow Hypnotherapy, based in Hebden Bridge & Sowerby Bridge.
For over 15 years I worked in the hospitality industry, owning and running bars. It was fast-paced, people-focused and demanding. When the pandemic hit, it forced me to slow down and take an honest look at how I was feeling, how I was coping, and where I wanted my life to go. Alongside anxiety and burnout, I began to recognise some unhelpful coping strategies that weren’t serving me anymore.
I explored different forms of therapy, but it was solution-focused hypnotherapy that genuinely shifted things for me. It helped me understand my brain, regain a sense of control, and move forward in a practical, hopeful way. That experience stayed with me — enough to retrain with CPHT in 2022 and change direction completely.
Today, as a qualified Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist, I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can understand what’s going on in their mind and begin to feel like themselves again. My work focuses on anxiety, overthinking, low mood, burnout and addiction — helping people feel steadier, clearer and back in control.
My approach is down-to-earth, compassionate and forward-looking. I bring together neuroscience, solution-focused therapy and hypnosis, alongside years of listening to people and understanding human behaviour. Change doesn’t have to be overwhelming — it can start with small, meaningful shifts that build real momentum.
