Counselling and Hypnotherapy

Hi, I’m Sam a fully qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist. I work with individuals to resolve personal difficulties providing relief from mental health problems such as anxiety, stress, depression and trauma.

I help clients find their own solutions by supporting them in making effective changes in their lives or by helping them develop new strategies for managing their mental health.

We can be any of these states of mind, with different faces in different places.

Find your sense of balance & calm.

In a world that often feels overwhelming – filled with heightened anxiety, stress and depression, life seems to have become even more challenging than ever. While we generally manage these difficulties on our own, there are times when seeking support can make all the difference.

Stress

While stress is a normal part of life and in some cases even manageable without the need for professional assistance, this may not always be the case.

Anxiety

“Anxiety stems from our ‘flight or fight’ response. This happens when our body feels as if it’s in danger,” This is an automatic reaction that can with practice be managed.

Depression

Depression affects people in a variety of different ways. It’s not just about feeling sad. It can have an impact on your body, mood, behaviour and thoughts

Bereavement

Grief is a normal process and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everyone’s grief is unique to them. But sometimes it is helpful to be able to talk and relieve the pressure of loss.

Regression

Regression therapy is an approach to treatment that focuses on resolving significant past events believed to be interfering with a person’s present mental and emotional wellness.

Controlling Difficult Emotions

Negative emotions like sadness, anger, loneliness, jealousy, self-criticism, fear, or rejection can be difficult, even painful at times. Learn about self control and focus.

Hypnotherapy

When I trained as a counsellor, I also pursued hypnotherapy as the two methods combine and complement each other beautifully to support mental health. Counselling helps you explore thoughts emotions & behaviours consciously, while hypnotherapy taps into your subconscious to address deep-rooted beliefs & patterns.

Hypnotherapy encourages relaxation and inner awareness, helping to process emotions & release blocks. It also quiets the overthinking mind, making it easier to embrace positive changes. By combining both approaches, we can create a tailored, effective path to healing, offering lasting results & a greater sense of balance.

Find peace, and calm the inner turmoil

  • Reconnect with past life experiences.
  • Help to understand why you feel a deep connection with certain places.
  • Explore unresolved emotions.

Past life regression is a hypnotic technique which takes you back to memories of lives lived before, you may be searching for reasons why they may believe a certain thing or behave in a certain way. Some people visualise by imagining pictures, or almost like watching video clips, some will explore with other senses such as smell, sound, and touch, whereas some may have a sense of just simply knowing things. Others may feel very much inside that memory as though it’s playing out right now and they’re a part of it.

A calm, relaxed journey back

  • Acknowledge and embrace the key lessons learned.
  • Confront challenging thoughts and beliefs.
  • Centre your focus back through your past lives.

You may gain many new perspectives from a session such as helping you to understand and resolve current relationships, unravel emotional problems including phobias and compulsions, and heal physical symptoms. All from re-experiencing and processing a past memory.

Thought Field Therapy

Thought Field Therapy (TFT), also known as ‘tapping’, is a gentle and supportive technique designed to help release emotional distress. This helps restore emotional balance by tapping on specific places or energy points on your body in a specific order, known as algorithms – which is something that can safely be self-applied.

TFT works with your body’s energy system to address emotional challenges. While focusing on your feelings (a particular thought field), the tapping can help calm your mind, reduce stress, and create a sense of inner peace.

Many people find TFT particularly helpful for managing anxiety, fears, and past traumas in a simple yet effective way. When combined with counselling and hypnotherapy, TFT can enhance your overall experience, providing practical tools to empower you whenever you need support.

Know you’re not alone.

Sometimes we can get stuck in ever decreasing circles of self doubt and despair. It is comforting when someone proactively listens to your thoughts and feelings, helping you to find a brighter outlook moving forward.
