In combination with psychotherapy, hypnotherapy allows you to connect with your subconscious mind, making it easier for you to take in beneficial suggestions and feel more at ease. It can help boost your confidence and provide a sense of relaxation. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy provides you with the tool kit you need to make positive, lasting change in your life.

Free First Consult Call

I offer a free first consult call because I understand that clients may not know or understand how hypnotherapy works. This session gives them the chance to find out more, discuss their goals, and learn the science behind this fascinating therapy.

So, what can you expect from my sessions?

My Hypnotherapy sessions are structured to enable talking therapy to be carried out in an empathetic and mindful way, whilst engaging a solution focused approach and incorporating hypnosis to help reinforce the new positive neuro pathways.

More info about your session

The initial consultation will last around 40-50min, then each further session, around 50-60 min. I will explain how the brain works in a simple and brief explanation, based on neuro-scientific research. This will include why our problems and challenges affect us in the way that they do and, more importantly, what we can do about it.

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a powerful form of therapy that merges psychotherapy and hypnotherapy to give you the right solutions to move forward with your life. It helps you find the answers you need, so that you can keep making progress.

Psychotherapy  is a great way to take a look the possible cause of the problem without having to relive the experience or emotion too much and find helpful solutions by firstly understanding how our brain processes these events and also how to use it to modify any negative thought cycles. This can, in turn, lead you towards a healthier life.

Hypnotherapy can be an invaluable tool for accessing and understanding your subconscious. It can help you open up to positive ideas, as well as enabling you to feel more relaxed, self-assured, and confident.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, when applied properly, can give you the confidence and skills to tackle any challenge. It will provide you with new perspectives on your problems and help create a more optimistic mindset, which will boost your ability to cope with life’s everyday stressors. Ultimately, it will leave you feeling more in control of your own destiny.

Why use Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to create a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility, enabling a person to access their subconscious mind and make positive changes in their thoughts, behaviours, and emotions.

There are many reasons why someone might choose to use hypnotherapy. For example, it can be effective in helping people overcome anxiety, phobias, and other mental health issues. It can also be used to manage chronic pain, improve sleep quality, and reduce stress levels.

Hypnotherapy can also be helpful for those looking to make positive lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking or losing weight. By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can help identify and address underlying psychological factors that may be hindering progress towards these goals.

Overall, hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for personal growth and healing, allowing individuals to tap into their inner resources and make positive changes within their lives.

Improve sleep and reduce insomnia

Improve moods and reduce anger

Improve anxiety and pain management

Increase relaxation and reduce stress

Lower blood pressure, anxiety and pain

What to expect

Your first session? – Your initial hypnotherapy session is a great opportunity for you to talk about what you would like help with, and the objectives that you hope to achieve. After discussing the basics, I usually explain in detail how the brain functions and happily answer any queries you might have about the process. This ensures you have a really clear understanding of how everything works before entering the trance part of the session. By understanding this process, you will be empowered to make your desired changes and take control of your life.

What is the Trance State? – We all go into a trance-like state many times throughout the day unknowingly. This kind of experience is quite common while driving or jogging where we are completely focused on the task at hand but our minds are free to explore other thoughts. It’s often described as a daydreaming sort of feeling.

How should I prepare for Hypnotherapy?

Take a moment to consider:

Why do you feel hypnotherapy may help you?

What would you like to achieve by coming to therapy?

Are you ready to make the change?

Can you commit to the time and the cost which private therapy requires to achieve your desired goal?

It is advisable to seek medical advice prior to therapy if you are experiencing any ongoing medical issues, or anything else which is a concerned to you, or you feel maybe of relevance within receiving therapy. This could include if you are receiving any other form of therapy currently.

Jot down anything which you feel you would like to address during therapy, or if you have any questions you wish to ask.
Make sure you plan your journey prior to your session to allow for traffic or public transport issues, this will help you to be more relaxed and calmer about your session and allows your brain to prepare for the new event and be more pleasurable for you.

 

Being positive and motivate will increase success of therapy, so I will be helping and supporting you throughout all our sessions, guiding you to make positive change and to help you reach your goals! Remember we are a team and building trust, confidence and a good rapport is the fundamental key to success within any therapy.

    Matthew Cahill

  • Samantha is really lovely and her hypnotherapy not only helped me through the loss of my dear Mum but also I have stopped smoking for 2 months now which is fantastic!! I still use her sleep recording when I am having trouble dozing off and it works every time. I really can't recommend her highly enough for any kind of stress, habit, phobia, sleep issues that you may want to address.

    Brenda Ryan

  • Sam has helped me immensely, the therapy sessions really helped me understand my own thoughts and reactions so I could identify the ones that weren't working for me and put them in a new perspective so they don't negatively affect me like before. Sam was great, always welcoming and friendly and worked the sessions around my busy life. We did face to face and over phone when necessary which worked brilliantly. These sessions have been amazing and I'll definitely be booking more and recommending to others.

    Christine Henshaw

  • Samantha is amazing! I would 100% recommend her to family and friends! I started seeing her with what I thought was a phobia, her sessions helped me to relax and take the time to understand my anxiety and how to accept and control it. Since having therapy with Samantha I feel a whole lot more positive on a day to day basis and a lot more in control. I can’t thank her enough!

    Lucia Shapland

  • If you're deliberating about whether or not you should call Sam for help, call her! I was getting to the point of desperate measures with my heavily pregnant daughter. My daughter was in a dark place, catastrophising about the imminent birth after having a horrendous pregnancy with hyperemises, gestational diabetes and other complications. Sam made time to see my daughter at short notice and what a difference she made! Pulled her right out of that dark place and enabled my daughter to go through the birth with strength. So much so that my daughter wants to have more sessions with Sam now the birth is 3 weeks behind us, as we know that Sam can have a positive impact on all aspects of anyone's life. Heartfelt thank you to Sam from all our family, including our precious little grandson. Brilliant work Sam!

  • I suffered a traumatic riding accident & lost all my confidence. To the point where I just couldn’t get back on, not only my own horse, but any horse, without shaking with fear. I was about to give it all up until someone recommended Sam. It’s not even an exaggeration to say this woman saved my life. Horses have been my life for decades & to give it up would have destroyed me, but I just couldn’t get past the fear. Working with Sam not only got me to overcome this fear, but changed so many other aspects of my life for the better, which I didn’t even realise needed changing. I owe so much to Sam & would recommend her to anyone. It’s like having a chat with a friend … who just happens to have magical powers 🥰

    Nikki Mills
