The Change Nest
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy

Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire • Online sessions available

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, neuroscience-based approach that supports positive, lasting change.

Grounded in an understanding of how the brain works, it helps to calm the mind and encourage more helpful patterns of thinking.

Rather than focusing on the past, the emphasis is on moving forward — helping you take small, manageable steps towards where you want to be.

Together, we work in a practical and supportive way, focusing on strengths, progress and the future you would like to create. Sessions are relaxed, positive and tailored to your individual needs.

Free Initial Consultation – 45-60 minutes

The Initial Consultation is an opportunity for us to talk about what has been going on for you, what you would like support with, and what you would like to achieve.

It is also a chance for me to explain how Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy works, including the role the brain plays in stress, anxiety and emotions, helping you make sense of why you may be feeling the way you do.

There is no obligation to continue afterwards – it is an opportunity for you to find out more and see whether this approach feels right for you.

Sessions are available online or in person.

I hold the Level 4 nationally accredited Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD) and the Diploma in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (DfSFH). I have an Enhanced DBS certificate, am fully insured, and a member of both the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and the Association for Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH).

If you would like to find out more or see whether Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy could help, please feel free to get in touch.

Incredibly beneficial

"I started receiving hypnotherapy sessions from Sarah for support to address my feelings of low mood and my poor sleep. Sarah immediately put me at ease with her professional yet personal approach and I've found the work I've done with her to be incredibly beneficial. Through working with Sarah, I have an improved understanding of how my brain works and why I react to particular situations in certain ways. I've never felt judged by Sarah about anything we've discussed and the sessions have always felt like a comfortable and safe space for me to be in. Working with Sarah has... Read All

I've never felt judged by Sarah about anything we've discussed and the sessions have always felt like a comfortable and safe space for me to be in. Working with Sarah has been great, as the sessions have progressed I can honestly say that my mood has notably lifted and my sleep has significantly improved. I feel like I've been able to change my way of thinking. Through this, I have a more positive outlook and I am better able to tackle challenging situations as they arise with a more level headed perspective. I would without a doubt highly recommend Sarah."

She has a lovely way about her and really helps you move forward in a way that feels natural and positive."

A real gift

"I had the privilege of being one of Sarah’s first volunteer clients during her hypnotherapy training, and I’m so grateful I did. At the time, I was going through a very difficult period and felt completely overwhelmed. From our very first session, Sarah was kind, understanding, and easy to talk to. She created a space where I felt safe, supported, and able to fully relax. Those sessions became something I truly relied on each week. Having that time to switch off and not carry the weight of everything I was dealing with was invaluable. I also noticed improvements in my... Read All

More positive

"Sarah has helped me with my problem with insomnia, I always wake up in the early hours, and now I can listen to her calm and soothing recording and am able to go back to sleep. I now know my sleep pattern is improving, and I am more positive about little problems that crop up."

Transformative experience

"Working with Sarah during her hypnotherapy training has been a transformative experience for me. She creates a calm, safe space that makes it very easy to relax and open up. Her approach inspires confidence, and more importantly trust, she is both knowledgeable and relatable. Sarah explains complex ideas in a way that is easy to understand and my reasons for undertaking the sessions are now much better managed. My sessions with Sarah have helped me organise my thinking and distinguish between what I can and cannot control. As a result, I have become much more observant of my own needs,... Read All

If you are seeking a supportive environment, to help you manage a situation and/or emotion, and gain clarity and perspective, I cannot recommend Sarah's solution focussed hypnotherapy highly enough."

Exceeded my expectations

I went into hypnotherapy feeling quite sceptical, unsure of what to expect and whether it would actually make a difference. However, the experience completely exceeded my expectations. Sarah... is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and, most importantly, supportive throughout the entire process. From the very first session, she created a comfortable and reassuring environment that made it easy to open up and engage fully. What stood out most was how clearly she explained things, helping me gain a real understanding of how my mind works, what is within my control, and how I can actively reduce my stress levels.

The results have been astounding. I feel more in control, calmer, and equipped with practical tools that I can use in everyday life. It’s not just about temporary relief it’s a lasting shift in perspective and approach. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone considering hypnotherapy, especially if you’re feeling unsure at the start like I was.
