From Recruitment Consultant to Hypnotherapist: A Part Time Working Mum ‘s Career Change Journey
Written by Chris Fleet, UK Hypnotherapist & Hypnotherapy Trainer (@hypno_teacher)
“I can honestly say that since having hypnotherapy myself, I have a much healthier self-esteem and a better sense of well-being than I’ve ever had.” – Georgina Palmer
Georgina Palmer’s inspiring journey began when she came to me for hypnotherapy sessions. Through these sessions, she developed a deeper understanding of herself and started to explore how hypnotherapy could transform other areas of life.
In late 2018, Georgina decided to take a leap into a new career. She began training for her Diploma in Hypnotherapy with The Devon School of Hypnotherapy. By June 2019, after 10 months of dedicated learning, she qualified as a registered hypnotherapist.
Now, Georgina is helping others overcome addictions and embrace positive change. Here, she shares how hypnotherapy training became the key to her fulfilling career change and a better work-life balance as a part-time working mum.
Georgina’s Story: A Passion for Helping Others
“My name is Georgina Palmer, and I’m 41. Most of my working life was spent as a Recruitment Consultant. When I had children, I left the role to focus on my family, working from home as a nail technician and spray tanner while my kids were little.
Neither of these roles was my passion—they were simply ways to pay the bills. However, during this time, I noticed how easily people opened up to me. I realised my true passion was helping others to reach their full potential.
Having overcome significant hurdles in my own life, I’ve developed a natural sense of compassion and understanding for others. This inspired me to look for a meaningful career change—one that would allow me to make a difference.”
Why Hypnotherapy?
“I’ve always been fascinated by the subconscious mind—how it drives our behaviour and how we can work with it to heal and create positive change. Hypnotherapy felt like the perfect fit for my interests and my desire to help others.
When I experienced hypnotherapy with Chris Fleet, it was life-changing. It helped me release trapped emotions, address unhelpful beliefs, and understand the barriers holding me back. I came away with healthier self-esteem and a sense of well-being I’d never had before.
This experience ignited my passion for hypnotherapy and gave me the drive to train in these techniques so I could help others overcome their own blocks and challenges.”
Why The Devon School of Hypnotherapy?
“When I was researching courses, I came across The Devon School of Hypnotherapy. Chris’s personal statement on the website really stood out—it felt genuine and relatable, not just marketing fluff like so many others.
I knew this was the right place for me to train, and I’m so glad I made that decision. Both professionally and personally, I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
Ready for a Change?
Georgina’s story highlights how hypnotherapy training can open doors to a rewarding career change, especially for part-time working mums seeking flexibility and fulfillment.
