About me
If being told to “picture a calm place” leaves you wondering what everyone else can see, you are not doing anything wrong.
I’m Ann, a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist and the founder of SoulBridge. I offer warm, individually tailored hypnotherapy for adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from themselves or caught in patterns they are ready to understand differently.
My approach is particularly mindful of neurodivergent minds, including those who experience ADHD, autism, aphantasia or difficulty recognising and naming emotions. You do not need a diagnosis, nor do you need to visualise, empty your mind or be especially “good” at relaxing for hypnotherapy to be accessible to you.
We can work through words, sensations, patterns, metaphor, rhythm or simply a sense of knowing using what comes naturally to you.
Alongside therapeutic suggestion, my training includes hypnoanalysis, which may be used where appropriate to explore the experiences, associations or underlying patterns connected with a present difficulty. Nothing is forced, and the work is shaped around you rather than a one size fits all script.
Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I spent many years as a veterinary nurse. That work taught me the importance of patience, careful observation and listening beyond spoken words qualities that continue to inform the way I support people today.
SoulBridge was created as a gentle space in which you can pause, understand yourself more deeply and begin making meaningful changes without pressure, judgement or the expectation that you must become somebody else.
I offer sessions in Sittingbourne and online. If you are considering hypnotherapy but are unsure whether it feels right for you, you are welcome to contact me for a relaxed, no obligation conversation before deciding.
SoulBridge offers doorways, never directions because the work is not about telling you who to become. It is about helping you reconnect with what already feels true within you.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
Other areas of support
- Neurodivergence aware and affirming hypnotherapy
- Hypnotherapy adapted for aphantasia or difficulty with visualisation
- Emotional overwhelm and difficulty recognising or expressing feelings
- Recurring emotional or behavioural patterns
- Self trust, boundaries and reconnection with identity
- Adjustment during periods of personal change or transition
My approach is individually tailored and does not rely solely upon visualisation. Where a concern may have an underlying medical cause or where hypnotherapy is being considered alongside medical treatment I may ask clients to consult their GP or an appropriate healthcare professional before sessions begin. Hypnotherapy is complementary and is not a substitute for medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment.

Taking the first step
I offer hypnotherapy sessions online and in Sittingbourne. If you are unsure whether hypnotherapy or my particular approach feels right for you, you are welcome to get in touch for a relaxed, no obligation initial conversation.
You do not need to know exactly what to say or arrive with everything neatly explained. We can begin with what feels manageable and take things at a pace that respects you.
If you have any communication, sensory, accessibility or processing needs, please feel free to mention them when making contact. I understand that reaching out can sometimes be the hardest part, and I will do my best to make that first step feel as straightforward and comfortable as possible.
