Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
A combination of psychotherapy and hypnosis
Working together, we can achieve the best possible results. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a type of talking therapy, combining the use of hypnosis with psychotherapy. This type of therapy employs the best elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro- Linguistic Programming ( NLP) to help you to become more confident, enthusiastic and excited about your life and become the best version of you. Hypnosis is a natural state of selective, focused attention, and, even though it is 100% natural and normal, it remains one of the most fascinating phenomena of the human mind. Our ability to enter this unique state of consciousness opens the door to countless possibilities for healing, and positive change. When we enter into the absorbed state of hypnosis, we can use our thoughts, talents and experiences in ways not usually available to us. We can develop the abilities that enable desired changes in our thoughts, feelings and behaviours to be possible.
About Me
My name is Sarah and I am a mother to 5 children. I have lived in the Bridgend area for most of my life and have had my fair share of difficulties throughout my fifty years. I lost my dad at the tender age of 16 and my first husband at the age of 42. I have been through various stressful and emotional times, but although difficult times, I am a resilient and positive person who believes that life is too short to not enjoy life and make the most of every minute.
20 years ago I started working with children and young people within the care system, assisting them with their education. During this time I qualified as a Thrive Approach Practitioner, working therapeutically with children and young people
After being made redundant, I started my own business working as an independent Thrive Practitioner and Trained as a trainer of the approach, delivering training to primary and secondary school staff to work with children and young people who are struggling. I also became a foster carer for a few years too.
Fast forward to 2022, I remarried and we had a fabulous wedding with friends and family around us.
With regard to my career, having worked with children for so many years I wanted to reach out in other ways to adults as well, using my knowledge of neuroscience and the workings of the mind. I was fascinated by the way that hypnosis is able to change the way our brain processes information and alongside psychotherapy is able to change our mindset to help so many people with such a varied list of problems. Therefore after a lot of research, I discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and was really interested in how the focus is on finding solutions rather than focusing on the past. So I trained as a Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist with the Clifton Practice, the renowned training school in Bristol and qualified with a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.
As part of my continuing professional development (CPD) I have also trained in Walking Therapy, which allows me to get out in nature with my clients.
I have also completed continuing professional development (CPD) focused on menopause, which enables me to better assist women experiencing menopausal symptoms.

How does online therapy work?
Once you have made contact with me, we will schedule your free initial consultation at a time that works for you. You will then receive a link via email.
