What 15 Years of Clinical Hypnotherapy Has Taught Me About the Power of the Subconscious
Several years ago, a client I’ll call Samantha came to see me for help with va**ng.
She did exceptionally well and stopped.
What mattered more than the result, however, was the trust that followed.
A year or two later, Samantha returned. This time, her focus was different. She was engaged, planning her wedding, and wanted to reach her ideal weight - not out of pressure, but because she wanted to feel confident and comfortable as she stepped into the next chapter of her life.
Once again, she achieved exactly what she set out to do.
Then, about a year later, she contacted me again - this time pregnant.
Her intention was clear. She wanted a calm, relaxed, and peaceful birthing experience. She wanted reassurance at a subconscious level that her body already knew what to do. That it knew how to create calm, how to trust the process, and how to work with her rather than against her.
One detail has stayed with me ever since.
Her doctors had suggested a due date around Christmas Day. Samantha didn’t want that. In her words, she felt the child would be disadvantaged having a Christmas birthday. She said the 18th of December “just felt right”.
That was her focus.
On Boxing Day 2025, I received a message from her:
“A healthy, happy baby boy was born on the 18th of December. Thank you.”
As a clinical hypnotherapist with over 15 years’ experience, moments like this still stop me in my tracks.
Years ago, I might have taken this as a personal win - “I did this.”
But that simply isn’t true.
My role has never been to create change for my clients.
My role is to help them reconnect with their own power - and trust what they already know, often at a level deeper than conscious thought.
The subconscious is extraordinary when it is given clarity, permission, and direction.
I feel genuinely blessed to have found a career I love - one that allows me to help people step into the next level of their lives, whatever that may look like for them.
If you’re ready to explore what you are capable of, I’d love to have that conversation.
