Susie Richards Hypnotherapy
Helping you make positive lasting change in your life
Welcome to Susie Richards Hypnotherapy
My name is Susie Richards, a qualified hypnotherapist in Highworth, Wiltshire, and online, working with people of all walks of life to help them overcome issues and make positive lasting changes in their lives. You may feel anxious about something specific like an upcoming exam, or simply feel stuck in life and need some support moving forward or achieving a better balance. You might be experiencing high levels of stress or panic, confidence issues, or you may need support overcoming a fear or phobia of some kind. Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that works on a deeper subconscious level, enabling you to make genuine comprehensive and lasting change.
Even if you are just curious about hypnotherapy, you will be amazed by the inner shift brought about by this treatment, with me guiding you every step of the way in a relaxed, peaceful environment. Sessions are confidential and available online and in person. If you’d like to know a bit more about the hypnotherapy treatments I offer, please do get in touch.
I am a member of the National Hypnotherapy Society and abide by their code of ethics.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a form of healing that involves me gently easing you into a deeply relaxed, calm and receptive state of mind, a place in between being awake and asleep, allowing me to engage with your subconscious mind. All sessions are adapted to your specific needs and what you wish to get out of hypnotherapy. The process begins with making sure you are comfortable, before gradually guiding you into a state of pure relaxation. You will always be aware of what is happening and will be fully in control at all times.
Once you are in this relaxed state, I will provide a number of messages, suggestions, metaphors, and anything else that is relevant to your situation, with a view towards challenging and overcoming the limiting beliefs or negative experiences that prevent you from moving forward in life. Working in this way can release pent up emotions and bring difficult memories out into the open, allowing you to make genuine lasting change.
A recording of the session can be given, allowing you to reinforce the messages of our session. I am also able to provide other techniques that you can use in between treatments.
Areas Hypnotherapy Can Help With
People often think that they have no choice but to live with the issues that they suffer, however during my time a hypnotherapist, I have successfully helped people to overcome common issues and challenges including but not limited to:
Stress management
Anxiety
Panic disorder
Low confidence
Preparing for exams/tests
Interview confidence
Public speaking
Procrastination
IBS
Anger management
Low self-esteem
Feeling stuck in life
Performance in sport
Symptoms of menopause and perimenopause
Accepting a bereavement
Insomnia and improving sleep patterns
Weight management and relationship with food
Fatigue
Stopping smoking
Fears and phobias
Overcoming bad and self-destructive habits
Using hypnosis, you are able to make small changes - helping you to move forward, feel more calm, be happier, more confident and in control. This will free your mind, allowing you to go on to achieve your goals.
How I Work
From the initial consultation and throughout the treatment you can expect a highly professional service from me, keeping your aim and progress at the heart of the treatment programme.
Free Initial Consultation
It is quite normal to feel anxious in seeking help and you are free to get in touch before deciding to book your first session of hypnotherapy. This is your chance to ask me any questions and see if we’re the right fit for each other. I will then send you an initial consultation form, which allows me to understand your current situation, for us to establish expectations and what you want to get out of hypnotherapy - meaning I can personalise treatment closely to your needs. Everyone is different, so taking this time to learn about you is a fundamental part of delivering the best possible form of solution-focused hypnotherapy.
First Session
Our first session will be about isolating the particular issue you want to work on, understanding its role in your life, so we can determine what you need to move beyond this problem. Hypnotherapy is a targeted form of treatment, so usually clients only need around six sessions to work through the issue. If you are working on something specific, like stopping smoking, it may be that you only need one or two sessions. Every individual is different, so we always work in accordance with your particular situation.
Online Hypnotherapy
Many people assume that hypnotherapy can only work when the practitioner is in the same room as the client, but this is simply not true. I routinely deliver hypnotherapy over Zoom, WhatsApp or Teams, and the feedback is always extremely positive. Working online from the comfort of one’s own home further allows clients to feel more relaxed and enjoy greater privacy. This added comfort makes it easier to enter a relaxed and receptive state of mind, needed for effective hypnotherapy to take place. Being able to work in this way also allows us to be more flexible with timings and means you don’t have to worry about the cost and stress of travelling to my practice.

About Me
I am a professionally trained, fully qualified, registered and experienced member of the National Hypnotherapy Society, bound by their code of conduct and ethics.
Prior to becoming a hypnotherapist, I worked in a range of roles with large corporate companies. During this time, I saw how people could lose confidence, suffer from a build-up of stress, and not know where to turn. After becoming a well-practiced hypnotherapist, I noticed the way it can help people change something negative into a positive, through working on that subconscious level and giving them the space they need, to process the pain and limiting beliefs they hold inside themselves.
I am now dedicated to using hypnotherapy in support of others, helping people overcome challenges and self-destructive habits, to make positive changes in their lives. Feel free to get in touch at any time to arrange a free initial consultation.
