Dinah Jane Walton obituary

My sister-in law Dinah Jane Walton, who has died aged 59, was an archivist, solicitor and latterly a hypnotherapist who transformed the lives of clients with serious mental health problems.

In 1998, the car in which she was a passenger was hit by police chasing a suspect, and she developed post-traumatic stress disorder. Hypnotherapy proved beneficial and she was inspired to study clinical hypnosis.
