I’m Sarah, a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist working online and in person in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire helping adults and young people make positive changes in their lives.
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, neuroscience-based approach that helps people overcome a wide range of difficulties and move towards the future they want. I provide a calm and nurturing environment where clients feel comfortable, understood and supported as they move towards their goals.
Before training as a hypnotherapist, I worked in the Civil Service for over 25 years. I understand first-hand how easy it is to become caught in a cycle of stress and anxiety that can affect all aspects of life. A series of significant changes in my own life led me to retrain in a new career where I could use my interest in psychology to support others.
Qualifications and Experience
I trained at the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training school (CPHT), founded by David Newton, who pioneered Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy. I hold the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD), widely recognised as the gold standard qualification for clinical hypnotherapy in the UK. I also hold the Diploma in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH) and a BA (Dual Hons) in Psychology and Criminology.
Alongside my qualifications, I am fully insured, hold an Enhanced DBS certificate, and am a member of both the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH).
How I Can Help
I work with adults, children and young people experiencing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, overthinking, confidence, sleep difficulties, OCD, fears and phobias, exam stress, smoking or vaping cessation, weight management, IBS and chronic pain. You can find out more about the issues and treatments I can help with on my Treatments page, and find answers to common questions on my FAQs page.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, my aim is to help you feel calmer, more in control and better able to move towards where you want to be. I offer both online and in-person sessions from Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire. Please feel free to get in touch by email at sarah@thechangenest.co.uk or on 07754 356276.
