About me
About me
Hi, I’m Sarah, a qualified Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist and the person behind Positive Waves Hypnotherapy. If life is feeling overwhelming, your mind won’t switch off, or you’re simply ready to feel more like yourself again, you’re in the right place. Perhaps you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, fears, phobias, confidence or unhelpful thought patterns that seem difficult to change. Whatever has brought you here, taking that first step towards making a change can sometimes feel like the hardest part.
My aim is to provide a calm, supportive and completely non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I believe that you already have many of the resources and strengths you need within you, and my role is to help you recognise and build on them.
I offer Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy online, from the comfort and privacy of your own home, as well as local home visits in the Winchester area. This means we can find an approach that feels comfortable and convenient for you.
What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a positive and forward-thinking approach that combines modern neuroscience, positive conversation and hypnosis. Rather than spending lots of time going over what has gone wrong in the past, we focus on where you want to be and what you would like your life to look and feel like.
I’ll help you understand more about how your brain works and why you may sometimes think, feel or react in certain ways. Understanding that these responses are often a natural part of how the brain works can be really empowering.
Together, we look at what is already going well, your strengths and the small steps you can take towards the changes you want to make. Hypnosis then provides a deeply relaxed, focused state where we can reinforce more helpful ways of thinking and responding.
For me, it’s about making change feel manageable, realistic and positive. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. We simply start where you are and work towards where you would like to be.
How I work
Every person is different, so I take the time to understand what you would like to achieve and what matters to you. My approach is friendly, relaxed and collaborative, and I want you to feel that you are an active part of the process.
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is not about losing control or being made to do anything against your will. You remain aware and in control throughout hypnosis. Instead, it is a natural state of focused relaxation that many of us experience in everyday life — perhaps when you become completely absorbed in a film, book or journey and temporarily lose track of everything around you.
My goal is to help you move away from feeling stuck and towards feeling calmer, more confident and more in control.
Whether you’re looking to overcome a fear or phobia, manage stress, improve your confidence, change an unhelpful habit or simply create a more positive mindset, I’m here to support you.
I hold a Diploma in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy and trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT).
If you’re wondering whether Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy could be right for you, please get in touch. We can have a chat about what you would like to achieve and whether I can help.
