Sarah: Your Best Mind Hypnotherapy
Tell us about your business. What services do you provide?
I offer solution-focused hypnotherapy to support positive change and help people be their best selves at work or play!
I work with adults, young people (10+), groups, and businesses to reduce stress, build resilience and confidence, and improve performance before burnout occurs. I support clients with anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, confidence and self-esteem, panic attacks, phobias, stress, performance anxiety, grief and loss, chronic illness and pain, and school-based anxiety. I do this through 1-2-1 hypnotherapy sessions, workplace and community wellbeing talks, group relaxation experiences, and restorative retreat days.
How did you start your business? What’s the story?
I launched my business in late 2023 after retraining with a diploma in hypnotherapy from CPHT at the Clifton Practice in Bristol, following a 25+ year career in marketing communications.
My journey into hypnotherapy was personal. During a very challenging time, when my son was seriously unwell with mental health illness, I experienced high levels of anxiety and overwhelm. Hypnotherapy became a powerful tool that helped me regain calm, clarity, and emotional control.
That experience sparked a deep interest in the neuroscience behind it. The more I learned, the more it made sense—and I knew I wanted to help others in the same way. Today, I’m passionate about helping people understand how their brain works, why they feel the way they do, and how they can move forward with greater calm, confidence, and clarity.
What is the best thing about running a business in Clevedon?
Opening my garden therapy room in Clevedon in 2025 has been a real highlight. It’s a beautiful place to live and work, and I feel incredibly grateful to be so close to the coast, the historic Pier, and the water—it brings a real sense of calm and perspective.
The local community has been so welcoming and supportive. I’ve loved connecting with other local business owners, especially along Hill Road, and getting involved in local networking and events. There’s a real sense of friendliness and collaboration here.
As a family, we’re also very invested in the area—my youngest son attends school locally and is involved in community activities—so it’s important to me to give back and support the wellbeing of the Clevedon community.
