Coaching and hypnotherapy to help you build confidence, handle pressure and make meaningful changes — at work, in life, or both.
THINK BETTER. FeEL BETTER.
LIVE BETTER.
Whether you're dealing with relentless pressure at work, struggling with confidence, or feeling stuck in a pattern you'd like to change, you don't have to wait until things reach breaking point.
I offer coaching, hypnotherapy, or a combination of both, tailored to you and what you want to achieve — helping you understand what's getting in the way, find a way forward and make changes that last.
What would you like to change?
People come to coaching and hypnotherapy for all sorts of reasons. But often, something has reached the point where they don't want to keep carrying on in quite the same way.
Under pressure
Perhaps work or life has become relentless. You're still coping and getting things done, but it's taking more out of you than it used to.
You want to feel calmer, think more clearly and stop pressure from consuming so much of your life.
Lacking confidence
Perhaps self-doubt, nerves or anxiety are getting in the way.
You may know you're capable, yet find that in certain situations your confidence seems to disappear just when you need it most.
Ready for something to change
Perhaps you feel stuck in an unhelpful pattern, you're facing an important decision or transition, or you simply know that something needs to be different — even if you're not yet completely sure what that looks like.
You don't need to arrive with all the answers.
Part of the work we can do together is understanding what's happening now, deciding what you want instead, and finding the right way forward.
Different ways to create change
There isn't one approach that works for everyone — and there isn't one approach that's right for every problem.
That's why I offer coaching, hypnotherapy, or an integrated approach drawing on both. Each provides a different way of creating change, and you don't need to know which is right for you before getting in touch.
Coaching
Dedicated space to step back, think clearly and find a way forward.
Coaching can help with both professional and personal challenges — from confidence, pressure and difficult situations at work to decisions, transitions and changes in life.
Hypnotherapy
A different way of working with thoughts, feelings and automatic responses.
Hypnotherapy can support changes around confidence, stress and calm, fears and phobias, unwanted habits and other patterns that can be difficult to change through conscious effort alone.
Coaching + Hypnotherapy
Sometimes there can be value in drawing on both approaches.
Coaching can help you understand what's happening and develop practical ways forward, while hypnotherapy gives us another way of working with some of the feelings and automatic responses that may be getting in the way.
Not sure which approach is right for you? That's absolutely fine. We can discuss what's happening and what you'd like to change during your complimentary consultation and decide together which approach seems most appropriate.

Coach and Hypnotherapist with a particular focus on leadership, resilience & confidence
Before becoming a coach and hypnotherapist, I spent around 15 years working in Human Resources, half of those at a senior level.
That experience gave me a first-hand understanding of the pressures that can come with working life and leadership — but my route into this work is personal as well as professional.
I've experienced what it's like to keep coping for too long, to reach a point where something has to change, and to rethink what I wanted from both work and life.
Today, I work with managers and leaders dealing with sustained pressure, as well as people from all walks of life who want to build confidence, gain greater clarity or make a meaningful change.
My approach is calm, practical and tailored to the individual. I draw on coaching, hypnotherapy, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and psychological tools depending on what we're working with and what would be most useful.
Most importantly, I want you to leave our work together with insights and practical tools you can continue using long after our sessions have finished.
My goal isn't simply to help you feel better today. It's to help you become better equipped to understand yourself, handle future challenges and continue helping yourself long after our work together has ended.
Resilience Under Pressure
Still coping — but only just?
You’re experienced. Capable. Dependable.
You’re still turning up, leading your team, making decisions and getting things done.
But perhaps it's taking more out of you than it used to.
Work follows you home in your head. You find it harder to switch off. Your patience isn't quite what it was. Your concentration sometimes slips. And increasingly, evenings, weekends or holidays can feel more like time to recover from work than properly enjoy life outside it.
You may not be at breaking point.
And the aim is to make sure you don't have to get there before something changes.
Resilience Under Pressure is my one-to-one coaching programme for experienced managers and leaders dealing with sustained pressure at work.
It isn't about making you tougher so you can tolerate more.
It's about helping you understand what pressure is doing to you, recognise your own patterns earlier and develop more effective ways of handling difficult days — so that you can continue doing a demanding job without work consuming the rest of your life.
What my clients say
I started working with Sammy because I felt I was going around in circles. I knew what I needed to do to move forward with my goals, but stress and pressure could leave me feeling shut down and unable to do those things.
Our work has helped me understand much more clearly what triggers that response, what is and isn't within my control, and where I need to focus my energy to make a meaningful difference. Tools such as the Circle of Control, Window of Tolerance and Wheel of Life have been particularly helpful, alongside hypnotherapy.
I've become much more aware of my own needs and am getting better at putting them first. I'm making more time to relax and reduce the impact of stress, analysing my behaviour without automatically criticising myself, and changing the way I talk to myself.
What I particularly value about working with Sammy is how individualised his approach is. He really listens to what I say and helps me see things from a different perspective. He understands the challenges I'm facing without judging me, but at the same time encourages me to keep moving forward and look at what I can change.
I've experienced coaching before, but working with Sammy has felt different because we look at what's actually happening in my life and where stress is having the greatest impact, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I now have a much greater awareness of my own behaviour, what I need, and the changes I can make to create a life that better meets those needs.
Christina Hardy
Professional Organiser & Neurodivergent Coach
I came to Sammy when I was facing a number of challenges and wanted some help exploring my options and making the right decisions.
Through our coaching, Sammy helped me think through the possible outcomes of the different choices available to me and what each of them could mean. We also explored practical psychological tools and techniques to help me overcome procrastination.
As a result, I gained much greater clarity and confidence in the decisions I was making and felt better equipped to move forward rather than putting things off.
Sammy is knowledgeable, relatable and understanding. His approach helped me look at my situation more clearly, make decisions with greater confidence and take action. I would happily recommend working with him.

Ready to talk?
You don't need to know exactly what kind of support you need — or have everything worked out before you get in touch.
We can start with a complimentary 30-minute consultation.
It's an opportunity to tell me a little about what's happening, what you'd like to be different and what you're hoping to get from our work together. You can ask any questions you have, and we can consider whether coaching, hypnotherapy or a combination of both might be the right approach for you.
Most importantly, it's a chance for us both to decide whether working together feels like the right fit.
There's no obligation to book anything afterwards.
Let's start with a conversation.
