BSc D.Hyp | Clinical Hypnotherapy, BWRT & Anxiety Specialist

About me

When anxiety, overwhelm or self-doubt start to creep in and life feels harder than it used to, it can be exhausting.

I’m Samantha, an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in anxiety and related issues. I help people feel calmer, more confident and more in control - so you can get your life back on track.

I can help you with a wide variety of different challenges including panic attacks, over-thinking, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, low mood, stress, sleep problems, trauma, PTSD, phobias, unwanted habits and weight loss.

Hypnotherapy works with both emotional and physical well-being, and can also help with conditions such as IBS, headaches and migraines which usually have a stress-related component.

I also offer specialist support for perimenopause and menopause related difficulties, helping to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, hot flushes and night sweats.

Do you find it hard to switch off from worrying or critical thoughts? 
Does life feel like a struggle? 
Are you sleeping poorly and constantly tired?
Do you feel weighed down by the past, over-burdened by present circumstances and worried about the future?

However you’re feeling right now, change is possible. Hypnotherapy can help you let go of unhelpful patterns that no longer serve you, so you can feel calmer, steadier, more resilient, and move forward with greater confidence.

Here’s what one client said after a course of sessions:

“Massive thank you to Samantha for all she has done to help increase my confidence and self-esteem. With her professionalism and tailor-made sessions she has helped me get back to doing what I love and enjoying it, and boosted my confidence in all aspects of life. I highly recommend Samantha. Thank you for everything.” - Eve

Free 40-Minute Consultation

Your first step is a free consultation, with no pressure I promise. My aim is to offer a relaxed, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can share what’s been difficult for you.  

I’ll ask gentle questions to understand what’s holding you back, when things began to feel harder, and how this is affecting you now. We’ll explore what you’d like to change, and I’ll explain how hypnotherapy can help you to move forward, and achieve the goals you’re aiming for.

This is also your opportunity to find out how I work and whether you feel I’m the right therapist for you.  I want you to feel confident and comfortable before making that all important decision to begin therapy.

Many clients begin to feel calmer, more settled and more positive after the very first session. On average, 6-8 sessions are needed overall. Simple phobias respond more quickly, while more complex or long-standing issues may take longer.

Clients generally finish therapy feeling calmer, more confident and more resilient, with an improved sense of overall well-being. You’ll also learn practical tools empowering you to feel steadier when life feels demanding. Hypnotherapy will help you to develop a more positive outlook, rediscovering joy and fulfilment in life.

Client Feedback/Testimonials

Client Review: "Thank you for bringing me out of a really dark place mentally and for helping me feel so much more positive about myself and the future. You really have helped me TREMENDOUSLY!" - Kerri

Client Review: “Samantha has totally turned my life around. Life was really difficult and I felt in an awful place. She has taught me SO much. I now have all the tools I need to carry on and live life in a far more positive way. I really don’t think I have ever felt so good. I am forever grateful.” - Naomi

Client Review: "I contacted Samantha for support around changing my relationship with snack foods and breaking a life-long cycle of yo-yo dieting. Samantha was professional, kind and intuitive. Her manner helped me to feel comfortable immediately and safe under her care. She went to great lengths to explore my eating habits, where they might have come from emotionally, and where I wanted to get to. Each session was tailored very specifically to my needs based on what we discussed. I noticed changes immediately and I now have a much better self-awareness and control over my eating habits. In addition I find I have greater self-confidence, and contentment - thank you so much for your help." - Kirsty

Client Review: “I had several issues - anxiety, travelling, fear of heights, sleep problems, fear of the dentist and trauma - some going back years.  Samantha is kind, compassionate, understanding and non-judgemental. Each problem was dealt with individually and with just a few sessions with a mixture of Hypnotherapy and BWRT (which is unbelievably amazing!) I feel I am a different person with a much more positive outlook. Take that first step now and you won’t regret it." - Anne 

Client Review: "I couldn't believe the changes Samantha has helped me to make in my life. She has facilitated the undoing of unhealthy thought patterns which have been with me for over 20 years. Samantha is patient, caring, magnetic and creates a safe environment. Thank you!"  - Meg

Client Review: "I have suffered with anxiety in social situations for a very long time, including at work, in the presence of friends and family, or even going to appointments. Samantha was absolutely brilliant, she made me feel very relaxed during the sessions which is amazing on its own. She has taught me ways of staying calm and sent me recordings of our sessions. It has really helped me.... I've been to social events and felt a lot more comfortable. I would recommend anyone struggling to give Samantha a try, I’m very grateful. 5 stars from me." - Mark

About Hypnosis

Hypnosis is probably quite different from what you expect. We naturally move in and out of light hypnotic states throughout the day - for example, when driving a familiar route on autopilot, watching TV, day-dreaming or absorbed in a creative activity.

Hypnosis isn’t sleep, although it’s similar to the state between sleep and full waking consciousness. You’re not unconscious and you remain in control throughout. It’s simply a state of focused inner absorption.

I use a combination of approaches from psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness and NLP together with hypnosis to help you achieve the goals you’re aiming for.

Hypnotherapy is a learnable skill and requires your active participation. Rather than being something that’s done to you, it’s something you learn to do, with my guidance. All that’s needed is your willingness to engage in the process and your desire for change. Most people find hypnotherapy a deeply relaxing, calming and empowering experience that can lead to transformation in many areas of life.

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

I am a Menopause Relief Hypnotherapy Practitioner and can help you with problems related to perimenopause and menopause.
