Transform Your Life with Sarah Stanley – Hypnotherapist, Coach, & Habit Change Specialist

Are you ready to break free from habits that no longer serve you and create lasting, positive change? 

I help people break old patterns and build lasting, empowering habits, whether it’s quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, managing weight, boosting motivation, or overcoming phobias and stress. With a nursing background, accreditation as a Positive Psychology Coach, and over a decade of international experience, I blend neuroscience, hypnotherapy and practical coaching tools with compassion, intuition, and lived experience to create real, sustainable change.

Through hypnotherapy, coaching, and breathwork, I create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your story, release what no longer serves you, and step into new possibilities. My integrative approach balances practical strategies, reflection, and embodied practices, helping you regulate your nervous system, build resilience, and make transformation stick.

Clients leave sessions feeling more confident, in control, and empowered, ready not just to cope, but to thrive.

I specialise in helping clients:

• Quit smoking and reduce or eliminate alcohol (grey-area drinking)
• Build sustainable habits for weight management and motivation
• Overcome phobias and anxiety
• Build lasting confidence and overcome self-doubt
• Find clarity as you navigate career and life transitions
• Reconnect with your natural resilience and inner strength

Every session is tailored to your unique goals, combining hypnotherapy, coaching, breathwork, and principles of positive psychology to support lasting, meaningful change. If you’re ready to reclaim control over your habits and live more confidently, I can help you!

What my clients say

“After completing two sessions with Sarah at her Horley practice I switched to online meetings, due to the coronavirus ‘Stay at Home’ guidelines. I have since had 3 sessions through Zoom calls. And I have found them fantastic! I am more relaxed in my own space and I therefore go into a trance-like state more quickly, and it feels much deeper.

When Sarah first suggested that we should do the session over a Zoom call I wasn’t sure it would be as effective, but I couldn’t have been more wrong! Going forward I will probably ask if I can stick with doing them this way.”

Rosie,  London

"Wow this lady is a life saver in my eyes. 40 to 60 cigarettes a day I was smoking. With asthma. One visit and I have not had one cigarette. 14th March 2016 is a day I will always remember. Thank you Sarah x "

Michelle, Horley

Before starting the process with Sarah I suffered from bad dreams, flashbacks and general anxiety on a daily basis. I was very skeptical that one session with Sarah would be of any help but after already trying everything I could to get help it was a last resort and I was willing to try anything. Sarah has helped me to as she put it ‘see my trauma like a movie’ in order to help process the event into my long term memory. 2 weeks later, I have had no flashbacks and no bad dreams of the event in question. I am still a little bit confused and amazed that this has worked so well. But I think the main reason was Sarah’s kind and positive attitude, she made me feel completely at ease and the fact I didn’t have to go into any details of my trauma really helped to make me comfortable. Thank you for working with me, you have really made a difference to my every day life.

Amy. Sussex

''I just wanted to pass on my thanks to Sarah for the excellent work she did with me to help combat my health anxiety.
Sarah is a fabulous lady who is so easy to talk to and is excellent in her field of hypnotherapy. I didn’t really know what to expect before I started to see Sarah but I’m so glad I did. After trying other ways to combat my anxiety Sarah has managed to work with me to feel a whole lot better. I would thoroughly recommend Sarah to anybody considering hypnotherapy. Once again Sarah thank you so much.”

Nick, Horley

"After a car accident I grew more anxious about driving and this went on for about 3 years. In a very short time I have regained the confidence to drive. it’s a new lease of life - I am elated and I cannot thank Sarah enough."

Anne, Horley

"I came to see Sarah about my difficulty sleeping alone. I had experienced this for as long as I can remember. Sarah identified that my problem was anxiety-related and after 6 sessions with her I can now sleep in my home alone without a second thought. The whole process was ridiculously easy."

Helen M

Seeing Sarah has made a tremendous difference to me. I am no longer hyper-vigilant where spiders are concerned. I don't love them but I am not afraid of them. The effectiveness of the therapy has been tested several times this last week. Treatment has been liberating . I can recommend Sarah wholeheartedly.
