Jill has been a health practitioner for nearly twenty years. Her vast experience in helping people to overcome problems make her one of the most effective therapists around today.
Jill said ‘modern life can bring challenges, worries and a sense of feeling overwhelmed at times. A good therapist will do all he or she can to bring clarity, calmness, restore vitality and wellbeing. It is then that the client can truly get on and live life to the full’
‘at times we can all feel overwhelmed by events, old ingrained patterns of behaviour and unhelpful ways of thinking. These habits can act as barriers to our potential and enjoyment. The good news is that just as we learnt these ways of viewing the world and reacting to it, with a little help, we can just as easily unlearn them.’
Jill works in Hove and at a doctor’s surgery in Haywards Heath. As training director for Uncommon Knowledge she has trained many of the therapists working in Brighton. See list of therapists if you live too far away to get to East Sussex.
Jill trains people to be hypnotherapists. She finds the most effective methods to help people are a combination of solution focused therapy, hypnosis. Along with a knowledge of the basic needs that us human beings must meet for optimum mental and physical health, her clients make quick and lasting progress.

Read comments from Jill's past clients and students
'Jill was my life line at a time when all about me was in turmoil.Jill gave me a way to see a light at the end of the tunnel. She gave me the time and space that I needed to reflect on issues that were of deep concern to me at the time. Her non judgemental, patient and professional way of working with very big issues with me was a real comfort. I always felt totally respected and I knew that Jill had the skills and experience to hold what was for me a very difficult space. I went to Jill feeling desperately alone, I cried and laughed and when each of my sessions ended I was in a much better place personally. Now I would recommend Jill to anyone who wanted to work with a truly talented, understanding, excellent therapist.'

'Dear dear Jill
I just want to say a big thank you for all your hard work and commitment. I have LOVED this course* and learned so much. Learning is so easy when you are taught by someone as knowledgeable and passionate as you.
I also want to say that I have spoken to a number of people on the course who have had one to one sessions with you and they all speak about you in the same way - marvelling at your care and compassion and immense generosity. One of them said to me that they think that you don't know how much you are loved - by your clients and your students. I do hope that you do! Many of us have greatly valued your time and effort, your knowledge and passion, and your dedication and desire to help.
I for one am SO glad that I chose this course and had the opportunity to attend the last one.
I love this quote from Martin Luther King ' The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands at moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and adversity'
Thank you for everything Love
Gaynor *Autumn 2008 (Gaynor refers to the Uncommon Knowledge course in hypnosis and psychotherapy)
I went for hypnotherapy with Jill Wootton three times in 2008, and my emotional health has been so much more balanced ever since.
As well as a long-term health issue, I struggled with dealing with my relationships, and just generally coping with my emotions. Jill was very kind and caring, and the sessions with her were totally different to any therapy I had had in the past. She gave me lots of help with finding out what my needs are and helping me find ways to meet them, then we did long hypnotherapy sessions – I can’t really remember what happened as I seemed to go into a deep state of relaxation very quickly, but I do remember feeling completely at peace, and left the sessions feeling extremely positive and full of hope. Jill also referred me to a great naturopath who now takes care of my physical health.
I am very grateful to Jill as I found her at just the right time and I broke a pattern of continually looking at the past. Life still has its gentle ups and downs, but I am able to cope happily with them, and haven’t since needed to seek out further therapy. This was by far the best result I got from any therapist!

A guardian angel was looking down on me when I was given Jill Woottons number. As a very successful dancer and choreographer I have been allowed to find myself through her incredible work. I cannot stress how much not just myself but both friends and family noticed the difference in me, my positivity, enery levels and outlook in life. I truly believe I would not be where I am without her support and knowledge. It was an privilege and one of the most rewarding and remarkable journeys of my life.

An eight year old girl who was extremely fearful of letting her mum out of sight. She was terrified of bath times and being left alone.
Hi Jill,
Just a short email to let you know how L is getting on since the last time we saw you.
We decided to buy her some "bath crayons", which she absolutely loves. Today I thought I would increase her "timer" by 10 minutes. I put the radio on downstairs, then after the ten minutes I went upstairs and said WELL DONE. There she was, laid back as cool as a cucumber, not bothered and when I asked her whether she heard me turn the radio on she said no.
I CALL THAT PROGRESS!

Dear Jill
A very belated THANK YOU! for seeing A a few weeks ago. We both thoroughly enjoyed our time with you - you were fantastic with him, and made us both feel so relaxed about everything and above all, since our visit, life has been pretty rosey!
He seems so much more relaxed and content. No rages like before. He is reacting well to his sister. Dad is giving a lot more time to A - more football, drawing and chill out time. It is really wonderful to see A so much happier and the family dynamics greatly improving.
Thank you for all you did. I am already busy recommending you to several friends - please email me the details/website etc of your new venture. I would love to keep up to date with what you're doing.
