How Can Hypnotherapy Help?

Hello and welcome. I’m Samantha, an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist and BWRT® practitioner specialising in anxiety and related issues, helping people feel calmer, steadier, and more like themselves again.

If anxiety, stress or constant overthinking are taking their toll, you don’t have to keep struggling on your own.  Whether you’re experiencing panic attacks, negative thinking, confidence issues, or poor sleep, I’m here to support you. Life can feel easier again. I also help clients with trauma, PTSD, phobias, unwanted habits and weight concerns.

Additionally, as a Menopause Relief Practitioner, I offer specialist support for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, helping with anxiety, sleep disturbance, hot flushes, night sweats and the emotional impact of hormonal changes.

Change Is Possible with Hypnotherapy

People often come to me feeling overwhelmed, worn down or disconnected from themselves. However you’re feeling right now, change is possible.

Hypnotherapy supports you to let go of unhelpful patterns that are holding you back, so you can move forward with greater ease. Through our work together, clients generally feel more balanced, emotionally grounded and better able to meet life with confidence rather than constant effort.

Whatever you’re struggling with, hypnotherapy can help you to feel better and take control of your life far more quickly and easily than you may think. Most clients need around six sessions, with many noticing a sense of calm or relief after their first session. Simple phobias respond more quickly, while more complex or long-standing issues may take longer.

Depending on your needs, BWRT® (Brain Working Recursive Therapy) may sometimes be recommended, either on its own or alongside hypnotherapy. This approach can be particularly helpful for trauma, phobias and long-standing anxiety patterns.

My aim is to offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where we work together in a way that feels right for you. Because life really can feel easier, more balanced and more manageable again.

Free Consultation and Next Steps

The first step is a free 40-minute consultation, with no pressure or obligation. This is an opportunity to talk things through, ask questions and see whether hypnotherapy – and working with me – feels right for you. You can contact me using the form below, or call me to arrange a time to talk.

Based at the Hands On Retreat near Ashburton, I work with clients from across South Devon. I also offer online sessions if you prefer therapy from the comfort of home.

I look forward to working with you.

I should have gone to Sam years ago

Prior to Sam, I had seen a few counsellors, however, they all asked me to discuss my trauma weekly and to focus on certain sections of it. This reigniting of my past, gave me sleepless nights and terrors. Sam’s approach was different, I only had to talk about my past once and that was it. I completely trusted Sam’s guidance… her professionalism, compassion, calming presence and lovely tone of voice….her sessions were powerfully mentally healing and I was able to gain closure. My only regret, was that I should have gone to Sam years ago.

Take control of your life with hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is helpful in four main areas

1

Emotional difficulties such as anxiety, stress, depression and lack of confidence.

2

Habitual problems and behavioural issues including nervous habits and overeating.

I’m very experienced in all of these areas.

So many problems, both psychological and physical, have stress or anxiety at their root. Clients often find that when anxiety is addressed the benefits ripple out to every area of life. Using hypnotherapy I can help you learn to relax more easily, overcome worrying or critical thoughts and self-doubt; enhance your confidence and self-belief, ultimately leading to greater fulfilment and enjoyment in life.

3

Physical conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, persistent pain, headaches and high blood pressure.

4

Performance enhancement including performance anxiety and motivation.

Even if your issue or condition is not listed here, please get in touch as it’s very likely that I can help.

One call can change your life.

"Hypnotherapy has had a significant impact on my life - I no longer allow the fear of what may happen with my tummy to stop me planning and doing things. I feel I am now more in control and in tune with my body. My friends and family have all noticed that I am calmer and happier. Your empathy, support and encouragement have made the whole process an exciting journey of discovery and healing. Thank you so much – I feel like I have got my life back.”

Taking the First Step

Your therapy begins with a free, confidential, 40 minute consultation. I will listen to what you need help with, and ask questions to help me understand your problems. I’ll explain how I work, what to expect and how I think I can help. You’ll have the opportunity to ask me questions too, of course. I don’t use a ‘one size fits all’ approach, so the questions I ask help me to develop a treatment plan designed specifically for you. You are unique, so every session will be tailored to suit your unique and individual needs.

I’m committed to helping people improve their emotional and physical well-being with hypnotherapy, which ultimately leads to greater fulfilment and joy in life. How can I help you change your life?

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes I am. I trained at the prestigious Anglo-European College of Therapeutic Hypnosis and am listed under the college directory. I was awarded the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma, considered the gold standard in hypnotherapy qualifications. I’m a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register and the CNHC.

As a professional I’m committed to on-going training and supervision to keep my skills and knowledge up to date. I’ve completed additional specialist hypnotherapy training in anxiety management, sleep disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, metaphor therapy, pain management and weight loss. I’m also a BWRT® practitioner and very excited to bring this rapid and dynamic therapy to Devon.

Hypnosis is an everyday experience that we’re all familiar with. Whenever you’re totally absorbed in reading a good book, driving on autopilot or even just day-dreaming, you’re experiencing a light state of hypnosis. The difference with hypnotherapy is that you are guided into hypnosis and the experience is deeper.

People often believe that hypnosis is a passive process, something that is done to you, but it actually requires your participation. Hypnosis is not like sleep, and you’re not unconscious; it’s similar to the state between sleep and full waking consciousness. Hypnosis is simply a state of focused inner absorption with a heightened sense of awareness.

Most people find hypnosis a very relaxing, calming and enjoyable experience. It’s common to have increased awareness of pleasant feelings and sensations in your body. Many experience a sense of comfortable heaviness, lightness or a floating sensation; although sometimes it feels just like relaxing or day dreaming with your eyes closed. While the majority of people are aware of and remember everything others will find they only have a vague memory of the session. Everyone is different and will experience hypnosis in their own unique way. Most people find hypnosis leaves them with a deep sense of inner peace and harmony.

Each session begins with some talking therapy – not all your time with me will be in hypnosis, though most of it will. I will help you to focus on what you want to achieve, to help you overcome the problems and challenges in your life. My aim is to help you achieve your goals as quickly and painlessly as possible – I don’t dig into the past unless absolutely necessary.

I will guide you in some simple imagination exercises to help you develop a relaxed inner focus. When you’re experiencing hypnosis your mind is more open and suggestible to positive new ideas and different ways of thinking, which then leads to new habits and behaviours. So I will guide you to imagine and mentally rehearse various scenarios and ideas to help you achieve the changes you’re aiming for. In addition to the work we do together, we’ll explore various techniques for you to use at home; for example practising self hypnosis and journaling.

Most clients will need between four and six sessions for effective change. Simple phobias may be resolved in fewer sessions, more complex issues may require longer.

It’s important to bear in mind that hypnosis is not something done to you. It’s a collaborative process in which the hypnotherapist is your guide and, using your imagination as suggested, you make it happen for yourself. Anyone who can understand and follow simple guidance can benefit from hypnotherapy. No-one can be hypnotised against their will, but if you’re ready for change and approach hypnotherapy with an open mind and a positive expectation, then you’ll definitely experience hypnosis.

What is NLP?

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It may sound a complicated title, but it’s actually a very straightforward and down-to-earth method for making powerful personal changes. NLP focuses on what you want to achieve in life, rather than your problems; helping you learn how to use your mind to transform your life. While NLP may be used as a therapy on its own, I combine it with hypnotherapy for powerful results.

What is cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy?

The basis of cognitive behavioural therapy is that our beliefs, thoughts, interpretations and assumptions about the world determines how we feel and act; as opposed to the influence of the world itself. Cognitive behavioural therapy will help you to overcome problems which are perpetuated by unhelpful negative thought patterns. You’ll be assisted to identify distorted, unhelpful and unrealistic thoughts – substituting them with more positive, realistic and constructive thoughts. These are then rehearsed in hypnosis with imagery, and so have a much deeper and lasting impact than just positive thinking alone can achieve. This creates positive changes in the way you think and feel which will change your behaviour, and ultimately your life as a whole.

Change your thoughts and you will transform your world.
