Welcome! I'm delighted you've found your way here.
Let me introduce you to what this is all about: it's about helping people live their best life, something I am deeply passionate about. Yes, it might sound like a cliché, but it's true — we only have one life, one brief time on this planet, and I believe we owe it to ourselves to make the most of it.
As humans, we’ve evolved with incredibly sophisticated brains that allow us to create extraordinary lives. Yet, throughout our journey, these same brains can misprocess experiences, leading to outdated, unhelpful, or limiting patterns.
The good news? We can do something about it by bringing unwanted patterns into awareness, offering gentle therapeutic intervention and opening the door to meaningful change.
How does it work?
We will then use gentle techniques such as Neurolingistic programming, Timeline Therapy, Parts Integration Work, Precision Questioning and Positive Psychology to intervene, reframe and redirect your brain processing so that you have access to new resources in thinking and acting. Think of this like a software update for you brain.
Some of these processes invoke a trance like daydreaming as you revisit memories or access unconscious information.
Your new positive beliefs, mindset and behaviours will be primed and supported through positive hypnotherapy suggestions delivered in person to you in session. You will also be given your own bespoke personal hypnotherapy audio track designed in the language your brain prefers that will regulate your nervous system and support your unconscious learning at the same time.
What does Hypnotherapy feel like?
Therapeutic, positive, enlightening, like weight has been lifted, kindness to yourself, empowering, hopeful, a shift.
As you go through change hypnotherapy doesn't feel like anything other than conscious. It works unconciously giving you a conscious experience.
After hypnotherapy you could say it's like coming to a new clearing in the woods.. you can see more, you have options and the path behind you of when you had the problem has just drifted into memory. It can feel as though you just naturally moved on with things for yourself. And you did.. with a few sign posts along the way.
About Sarah Pridham
I'm delighted to welcome you to my world! I'm 53 and a devoted mother to two fabulous teenagers and a contented resident of Leigh-On-Sea, Essex. I have had previous careers in the corporate world and sales, but my true passion lies in personal growth and human happiness.
Ever since I immersed myself in Daniel Goleman's book on Emotional Intelligence 25 years ago, I've been captivated by exploring methodologies that lead to a high quality of life and fulfilment. I've trained with world leaders in the fields of Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy and I have done extensive personal development work myself. I feel truly lucky to have found my way to a place in life where I am present, happy and grateful for my existence!
Really when you get to the heart of it I just don’t want people to suffer in life and I have found that there is so much that we can do to master our own minds and have a better experience. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and tools with you. My approach is empathetic, and light-hearted and your empowerment is top of my list!
