"By using a positive & modern approach to hypnotherapy, I help you to regain control of your thoughts and feelings so you can move forward and live life to your fullest potential.
Sessions are positive and uplifting.

Member organisations
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.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members.
There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) was set up to provide information about a modern form of Hypnotherapy and its associated benefits to members of the public. The main aim of the AfSFH is to spread awareness of the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Its secondary aim is to support Hypnotherapists in their businesses by encouraging good practice and self-care.

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).

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.

Additional information
FREE Discovery call (Initial Consultation), this is a great opportunity for us to chat either online or over the phone before you commence sessions. You will have lots of opportunity to ask any questions you might have and you will gain a greater understanding of how hypnotherapy works and how we will work together to achieve your desired outcome. This session includes a relaxation MP3 download for you to use at home. There’s no “hard sell” and you’re under no obligation to book further sessions. No matter who you choose, it’s vital that you feel comfortable with your therapist, this free consultation offers the perfect opportunity to find out at no cost.
Foundation session. Your first session is for laying down the foundations of our work together. During this 60-90 minute session, we will cover the basic admin and gain a clearer picture of the issue you wish to address. I'll explain the brain to give you a deeper understanding of how and why this issue is presenting and also how we will work together. It's at this point I will be able to provide a more accurate estimation of how many sessions you will. require. Full details of the pricing structure are available on my website on the sessions & fees page.
Phobia Relief, If you have a specific phobia, this can often be resolved in as little as 3 sessions.
Smoking/Vaping Cessation, This is a programme of 5 sessions, each lasting up to 1 hour. We will address the drivers behind the smoking behaviour as well as the smoking/vaping habit.
Private Health Cash Plan - Lots of health insurance providers will now cover full or part costs for hypnotherapy services, so it’s worthwhile checking with any providers you may have. I’ve listed below some private health cash plan providers that at the time of writing recognise hypnotherapy with CNHC registered practitioners such as myself, as eligible for reimbursement. You will need to check with your provider yourself to establish the level of reimbursement you will receive for hypnotherapy. If you wish to claim reimbursement for a plan you are covered by, let me know and I can provide receipts showing payments you have made for sessions.

Client Testimonial by Rachel (Mansfield, Notts)
I contacted Sarah as I was having difficulty with my anxiety which was effecting my daily life. From each session I have had with Sarah my anxiety has effected me less and less to the point where I don't notice I have it anymore. At every session Sarah has had a kind, caring and professional attitude. The environment itself gives a sense of calm and safety.

Client Testimonial by LJ H (Newark, Notts)
Having had big issues with not getting much sleep for years now, Sarah was recommended to me to see if she would be able to help. I am so glad that I found Sarah, she is amazing and has helped me in so many ways. Not only with sleep but also with my personal life and in the workplace. It has made me feel so more positive and calmer. I thoroughly recommend having therapy with Sarah, she makes you feel so at ease and I will always be so grateful for her help.

Client Testimonial by Colleen H (Hampshire)
Having never looked into hypnotherapy before it was suggested to me to try to help with feelings of limiting beliefs and trauma. Sarah at once put me at ease with her relaxed and calming disposition. She guided me through many practices which I thoroughly enjoyed and found relaxing and insightful. I cannot believe how useful the skills I've learned from Sarah are and will be for the future for helping me deal with problems. I was made to feel in control the whole time throughout the various exercises and have taken on board so many parts of Sarah's teaching and techniques. Thank you so much.
