I believe in the magic that happens when you realise you don’t have to suffer with stress and anxiety anymore. When you begin to unlock and uncover creative resources using the power of your mind.

I work especially but not exclusively with creatives and solopreneurs, offering a light-hearted discovery based approach to help you understand and face your fears. Whether you don't want to do but kind of have to... or you just want to feel better about it. This includes: Presentations & job interviews Putting your creations out there (writing, film/TV, art, music, stage fright, imposter syndrome, procrastination) Exams (education, driving) Medical (dentist phobias, white coat syndrome, hospital procedures)

Individually or collectively, I give clients the confidence to take care of yourselves, find solutions and make positive changes to your lives moving forward.

Why me?

I’m a performance anxiety & stress manager too (after all, I’m human.)

Diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) at 17, I was constantly anxious and embarrassed by the condition set off by Performing Arts AVCE stress. I didn't deal with exams and coursework very well either. The intense pressure of having to remember lots of information in order to answer surprise questions. Silent school halls (except for loud ticking clocks) would make my palms sweaty and my head ache.

A specialist recommended more conventional Hypnotherapy (using direct suggestions), which helped me enormously with stomach pain, but I still had low self-esteem and confidence issues all through my teens, and to be honest most of my twenties.

Pitching my work at writing festivals was something I shied away from for a long time. Even sharing words with the rest of my writing group was a heart pounding lifetime of several minutes.

If someone had told me 10 years ago that I'd be giving workshops to 20+ people - I would have smiled nervously while screaming inside 'hell no'.

It was the second round of hypnotherapy in 2019 that changed everything. I met a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist through an essential oils event. I knew I wanted to help people in the same way.

We can’t remove stress and anxiety entirely from our lives. A certain amount is needed. We can drastically improve our relationship with them and even use the nerves to propel us forward. I’ve walked this path and I can show you around.

Let's have a chat

“The sessions have helped me change my mindset and has helped my anxiety. I can now help myself quicker when I’m stuck in a depressive spiral and overall I’m a lot happier in myself physically and mentally. Thank you again.”

Christina

"I was going through a particularly difficult time at the beginning of the year and was not getting any down time. I met Sarah and immediately upon talking to her felt a sense of calm. I had 6 sessions with Sarah on what started becoming my busiest days so she could talk me down off the ceiling. Spending that time each week gave me some balance, helped me relax and cope with my stress by refocusing my attention on something calming. Sarah helps you let go of your day.

Sarah is amazing and I would highly recommend talking to her to see how she can help you."

Jayne

“From my very first hypnotherapy session with Sarah I felt a huge and positive difference in how I was tackling one particular situation. I felt calmer and much stronger than I'd previously felt and this has had a lasting effect. Sarah has a wonderful way of connecting with people, and I deeply appreciated the time she spent helping me to focus on what was necessary. Her voice was perfect for these sessions: warm, friendly and calm. I highly recommend you give this a try.”

C.J

“Nothing prepared me for the impact that hypnotherapy sessions have had on me. I started therapy because I had some anxiety symptoms and at best I hoped I would find some strategies to deal with the symptoms. But instead, I no longer suffer from anxiety at all, despite moving house and having other ‘stressful’ things in my life. I have stopped feeling overwhelmed and I have a sense of peace. Within a week of my first session, I was sleeping all night through, where before I was waking for 2 or 3 hours every night.
I now feel confident in the choices I am making - the sessions have enabled me to take charge of my life and I feel so much more empowered and happier as a result. Sarah has given me the tools to become the real me, and I am so grateful.”
