Would you like to make positive changes in your life but are finding it difficult to achieve this by yourself? We all have things we would like to change about our lives. However, quite often they feel unachievable especially if we have been experiencing those issues for some time. We may not even have the required belief in ourselves that we are able to make a change.
As a result, we put off doing anything about it and the problem then escalates and affects many more areas of our lives. The difficulty with moving forward past our problems is that often we do not know how to go about getting started nor feel like we have the tools available to us to create and maintain the changes.

If you like what you read and you would like to work with me, please feel free to get in touch. Nearly a decade ago I suffered with chronic pain. I experienced pain in my lower back and sciatica down my legs on a daily basis. It was very debilitating, impacting on all areas of my life. Living with chronic pain daily is very draining and I found myself developing depression and anxiety as a result which made the pain even worse.
I am one of Bristol's senior clinicians and have considerable knowledge and experience working with hypnotherapy for a wide range of issues. Find out more about me, what brought me to hypnotherapy, my qualifications and specialisms. If you would like to experience hypnotherapy to help you make the changes you wish to make, I offer sessions at The Harbourside Practice in Bristol as well as via video calling.
Irrespective of your reasons for seeking help, hypnotherapy can offer you a wide variety of support. Research shows that hypnotherapy can guide you in changing how you think, how you feel and how you behave, all of which can aid you in becoming the person that you wish to be. Hypnotherapy can help you to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that things can change and gives you the necessary tools to do so.
Hypnotherapy appointments are available at The Harbourside Practice on Redcliffe Parade East, Bristol and online via Zoom. Each Hypnotherapy session lasts 50 minutes (known as a Counselling Hour) and payment is due at the end of each session. The stop smoking programme consists of two 50 minute sessions plus support pack and audiotracks, all of which are included in the fee, payable upon booking.
Supervision is a collaborative process to help you develop as a hypnotherapist and support you in your practice so that your clients receive the very best care from you. I offer one-to-one supervision to practising hypnotherapists via Skype or Zoom, in addition to group supervision in Bristol.
Supervision provides you with the opportunity to reflect upon how you are working with your clients and specific issue; what is going well in addition to areas that you might be struggling with; identifying training needs or avenues you wish to explore further, and receiving feedback and guidance where applicable.Compassion fatigue, burnout and even secondary traumatic stress are very real concerns for any therapist.

I have just finished 6 sessions with Sarah, she was great at providing tools to navigate day to day life, in practical sessions that focus on changes you would like to make. The sessions aren't intended on being long term, more a short burst of sessions which I really liked. You will get more out of the sessions if you practice in between. I look forward to coming back to Sarah to have a check in later in the year.

Empowering, Clarity & Successful would be the 3 words I would use to describe this experience. As Sarah says, there is no magic wand but she does bring you on a journey which makes sense each step of the way. I wanted to stop vaping and within 2 weeks (just 3 appointments) it was no longer part of my life. Thank you once again.

The sessions with Sarah have had a massive positive affect on my insomnia, I am now sleeping better as I am calmer when I go to bed and this is due to the techniques that I have been taught. I used to dread going to bed as I would lie awake for what felt like hours and then would struggle the next day to be productive. I am now getting to sleep a lot easier and find that more and more I am falling to sleep straight away. Such a positive experience that I would highly recommend.

Ive recently had 2 appointments with Sarah. The setting was great and Sarah was very friendly and paid attention to what I wanted to say and how I felt. Sarah convinced me that my problem was easier to solve than I expected, and so far that did the trick. I have no complaints and fully recommend Sarah's practice.

I chose to go to Sarah for my needle phobia because she had mentioned on her website that she used to have this phobia herself, so I felt that she’d have a much better perspective of this particular issue. I’d seen a couple of hypnotherapists a decade or so prior, but they only covered general relaxation, which was good, but didn’t really address the core thoughts around my phobia. Sarah integrated my phobia into the sessions, and offered a lot of follow-up notes and extra resource ideas after the sessions. I cannot claim my phobia is completely cured, but in going into some dental surgery

If you are looking for someone who is passionate about what she does, has trained to the highest level and is continually updating both her professional knowledge and qualifications then look no further then Sarah Mortimer. I have worked with and known Sarah for over 8 years and she is a shining star in this profession, especially regarding maintaining the integrity of her work and ensuring the client is getting the best and most professional support. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah a number of times on a professional development course we both attended. She has a very down-to-earth approach and is very easy to work with. I found her to be excellent at getting to the heart of the issue and putting together an effective strategy to resolve it. I highly recommend Sarah.
