About me
Are you struggling right now? Feel like there's no way out?
I'm so sorry to hear this. But - whether it's a recent thing or has been going on for years - you've done the hardest bit. You've decided to reach out for help. With hypnotherapy, change can be easier than you expect.
Anxiety, phobias, addiction, comfort eating, smoking/vaping, trauma, birth, habits, stress, alcohol and more....
"I urge you if you're on the fence, now's the time to get off! It will be life-changing for you".
Leroy, Orpington (Anxiety & Confidence)
I am an experienced, qualified Hypnotherapist and have helped hundreds of clients address a wide variety of issues. You might have questions before booking, so feel free to contact me to discuss things further. I offer a fully confidential service and would love to help you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You are in control at all times and cannot be made to do anything you don't want to. If you come with an open mind and a real desire to change I can help you find it easy. It's a deeply relaxing experience and many clients also notice a big improvement in quality of sleep and their own ability to unwind.

"[I] felt empowered by the whole experience"
Katrina, Sidcup (Trauma)
HOW I WORK
Appointments are held at a friendly clinic in a relaxed, comfortable, secure environment. It is really important to me that you feel at ease throughout our time together. For most issues I work on a session-by-session basis, depending on your history and how you respond to treatment. The first session is 2hrs and involves an in-depth discussion before we begin the hypnotherapy. Every client is different so it is impossible to say how many sessions you might need, but as a guide the average is around 3-4, with follow-up sessions usually lasting 1hr.
I also offer individual programmes for specialist areas, one-off relaxation sessions and gift vouchers.
Check out my website www.sarahrussellhypnotherapy.co.uk for more details.
WHAT NEXT?
You've taken the first step - you've identified the issue and you've decided you want to take back control. To get the ball rolling, why not get in touch right now, with no obligation?
"Just do it – you have nothing to lose and potentially so much to gain !!”
Roy, Bexley (Stress)
1) Call or email me with your questions or concerns. I do my best to respond within 24hrs.
2) Grab your diary if you decide you're ready to book.
3) You will receive email confirmation of your appointment, location details and a questionnaire to complete.
4) I ask for a 50% deposit payable by card or bank transfer to secure your booking.

6) Look forward to taking back control!
I would love to see you soon
"I’m loving life. I will continue to recommend people to you, thanks again!"
Danny, Sidcup (Cocaine addiction)
Training, qualifications & experience
I first discovered hypnotherapy when it helped me kick a 30-a-day smoking habit 15 years ago. After several failed attempts to stop, I had resigned myself to being a smoker for life, but after one session of hypnotherapy I was finally free. It was this life-changing experience that inspired me to train as a hypnotherapist myself. I worked for several years at the Stop Smoking Clinic in Bromley before going independent and I have now had my own practice for 10 years. I have recently expanded to welcome a fellow therapist, Libby, who is equally committed and experienced in many of the areas I work in.
- 13 years experience as a Hypnotherapist
- Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis from Future Seeing Training
- Certified HypnoBirth practitioner with Fertility2Birth
- Certified EMDR Practitioner with Alterjective 'Pathway to Excellence'
- 3yrs specialist experience in smoking cessation with the Stop Smoking Clinic, Bromley
- Member of the GHR (General Hypnotherapy Register), the GHSC (General Hypnotherapy Standards Council ), the CNHC (Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council regulated by the PSA) and the UKGHE (UK Guild of Hypnotist Examiners)
- Fully insured
Member organisations

Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).
Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level.
All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.

The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

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
I treat a large number of clients with (diganosed or suspected) ADHD and have found hypnotherapy really successful to help manage the overwhelm and excess energy. Many ADHD clients feel they cannot relax, but they are often the easiest to treat as their body craves the rest hypnotherapy allows!
Fees
£35.00 - £595.00

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
Anxiety:
"[The hypnosis] was specifically tailored to my needs. Sarah is a great listener and made me feel very at ease. She has helped me to get to the root of my problems and has helped me to develop coping mechanisms. Thank you so much for your dedicated care" Claire, Greenhithe
Addiction:
“Just thought I’d let you know I’m still going strong. I believe I’ve had every test under the sun and still no failure! I’m loving life. I will continue to recommend people to you, thanks again” – Anon, Sidcup (Cocaine)
Comfort Eating:
“I can’t thank you enough, I feel so positive. I’ve not had a binge day since seeing you. It makes me feel so happy – thank you once again” Sue, Bexley
HypnoBirth:
"My hypnobirthing sessions with Sarah were invaluable! Despite my birth plan not going to plan, hypnobirthing made me realign my thought process regarding hospitals & intervention & gave me back the empowerment that I wanted for my birth. My baby was born in a calm and peaceful environment thanks to the mindfulness & skills I had been taught during our sessions. I cannot recommend Sarah & Mama In Mind more highly! (Plus the baby loved the sessions too.)" Ally (& Henry), Bromley
