About me
Hi, I’m Sarah, a Cognitive Hypnotherapist based in Leigh-On-Sea, Essex. I offer face-to-face sessions locally and work with clients online via Zoom.
Cognitive Hypnotherapy is solution-focused, meaning we guide the brain toward replacing unhelpful patterns with more beneficial ones; shifting your mind in a direction that supports positive change.
My approach is empathetic and light-hearted, always focussed on your empowerment and well-being. At the heart of my practice is a deep passion for helping people break free from suffering and live life to the fullest.
How I Can Support You?
Here are some typical areas I work with, however hypnotherapy is incredibly versatile and it could be as simple as having something that is bothering you that you would feel happier without...
Relieving anxiety or stress
Building confidence and self-worth
Overcoming phobias or habits
Relationship issues
Reframing emotional responses tied to the past
Navigating life with neurodiversity
Developing resilience and self-compassion
If you’re ready to explore what’s possible, I’d be thrilled to chat with you; no pressure, no obligation. Sometimes, even one conversation can open the door to transformation.
What is Cognitive Hypnotherapy?
Cognitive Hypnotherapy is an extremely effective tool for change because it harnesses the enormous power of your unconscious mind. It’s based on three core principles:
Trance is an everyday phenomenon
We spend much of our day in unconscious ‘trance states’ that influence our thoughts and behaviours. If you’ve ever felt stuck in unhelpful patterns, it’s because your unconscious mind is running on autopilot. Cognitive Hypnotherapy helps you wake up from these negative trances and regain control.
All behaviour has a positive intention
Even the habits or responses we dislike often stem from our brain’s attempt to protect us. Many of these patterns were formed early in life and may no longer serve us. Through Cognitive Hypnotherapy, we can gently update these outdated responses, aligning your unconscious mind with your present reality.
You’re an individual
No two people experience the world in the same way, so Cognitive Hypnotherapy avoids generic scripts or diagnoses. Together, we’ll uncover the elements of your unique challenge and create a completely tailored plan to move you toward your desired state.

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
- Releasing the trauma of having grown up with Neurodiversity
- Accepting Neurodivergent diagnosis.

I offer packages initially rather than a session by session basis as I am offering a more supported comprehensive approach to change that includes a custom-designed hypnotherapy written for your unique mindset and specific issue as well as optional support between sessions. I realise there is so much value in having a personal champion who can cheer you on in-between the session time we spend.
I'm committed to making hypnotherapy affordable and accessible and offer instalment plans. We can also pace the work we do over a longer time period as well. If you're eager to work with me, I'm confident we can find a way to make it happen.

I have recently trained with Dr Brian Roet in Parts Therapy and Dr Janina Fisher in Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors.
