The response that is running now
We establish the unwanted pattern clearly, including the situation, internal response and behaviour that follow.

The DELETE Method™ with Louise Squires
I am a Founding Certified DELETE Method Practitioner, qualified as part of the first practitioner cohort.
I use this advanced, hypnosis-based approach within my focused work with anxiety, panic, phobias and other unwanted automatic responses.

What it is
A structured, directive process for changing the response.
The DELETE Method™ was developed by psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and behavioural expert Krystyna Lennon.
It is built around state interruption, cognitive deletion and desired state activation. In straightforward terms, the work identifies how an unwanted response is operating now, interrupts that pattern and develops the response you want instead.
Hypnosis and rehearsal help make that chosen response more familiar, so the work is directed towards change rather than simply understanding why the pattern exists.
Focused on the present pattern
You do not have to search for one original cause.
The approach is non-regression, content-free and symptom-focused. It does not require a detailed backstory or ask you to search for a single event that supposedly explains everything.
We focus on what happens now: what activates the response, how it runs and how you want to think, feel and behave instead.
Content-free does not mean impersonal. The work is shaped around your specific response and your chosen outcome, without requiring you to disclose every detail for the process to move forward.
How I use it
Integrated into focused, individual work.
02 · INTERRUPT
The automatic sequence
The work is designed to interrupt the established response rather than asking you to keep managing the same cycle.
03 · DEVELOP
The state you want instead
Hypnosis and rehearsal support the response you have chosen, connected to the real situations where you want the change to show up.
I choose the most appropriate therapeutic approach for the individual client and presenting issue. No method can guarantee a particular outcome or number of sessions.
Where it can fit
When logic understands, but the response still happens.
This approach is particularly relevant when a reaction feels automatic. You may know the flight is safe and still panic when the door closes. You may understand that reassurance never lasts and still feel compelled to check. You may know you can leave a meeting and still feel trapped as soon as it begins.
My specialist work includes anxiety and panic, specific phobias, health anxiety, emetophobia, toilet anxiety and the automatic patterns that can remain after a toxic relationship.
The method sits within my wider clinical experience and my Focused Hypnotherapy Programme, rather than being treated as a one-size-fits-all script.
Questions about the method
Clear answers before you decide.
Do I have to revisit difficult past experiences?
No. The approach is non-regression and focuses on how the unwanted response operates in the present. You can share relevant context, but the process does not depend on finding or reliving an original cause.
What does content-free mean?
It means the change process can work with the structure of the response without requiring every personal detail. The work remains individual and is shaped around the outcome you want.
Is the DELETE Method suitable for everyone?
No single therapeutic method is right for every person or every problem. Your initial consultation allows me to understand what is happening, explain how I work and decide whether my focused approach is appropriate for you.
Focused work for the response you want to change.
