Sammi is a Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, specialising in supporting women with anxiety, overwhelm, and the cognitive and emotional impact of hormonal change and ADHD, including menopause.

Her work takes a clear, structured and neuroscience informed approach, helping clients understand what is driving their experience while equipping them with practical tools to support meaningful and lasting change.

Sammi trained with the Clifton Practice (CPHT) and is registered with the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

Her approach is collaborative, forward focused, and tailored to each individual, supporting clients to feel calmer, more in control, and better able to respond to daily life with clarity and confidence.

‘Understanding the brain is the first step towards feeling calmer, more in control, and better able to move forward with clarity’

At Black Barn, Sammi offers women support through a powerful, one-off session of cognitive neuroscience, also known as ‘Your Brain Explained’, through on-going solution focussed hypnotherapy sessions, or with a combination of both.

Your Brain Explained

Your Brain Explained is a one-off session designed to help you understand what is actually happening in your brain during times of stress, anxiety, overwhelm, hormonal change, or when experiencing grief. Rather than analysing the past, the session focuses on how the brain and body function together — giving you a clear, accessible explanation of your own patterns. You leave having gained clarity and tools, with no obligation to book anything further.

You will learn about the stress chemicals driving how you feel, and the everyday, practical ways to get the balancing chemicals your brain and body need — your own personal daily dose.

The session includes a Q&A discussion, a downloadable relaxation MP3, and a PDF summary to take away with you.

Sessions are 60–90 minutes and cost £80.

For clients who would like ongoing, structured support, they can continue the work begun in Your Brain Explained through a course of hypnotherapy sessions — collaborative, forward-focused, and tailored to each individual. Clients are supported between sessions with access to guided relaxation recordings and resources via her free app, designed to support sleep and reinforce positive change.

What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is grounded in a clear understanding of how the brain responds to stress, hormonal change, and overwhelm. By focusing on how the mind and body are functioning, rather than analysing the past, it helps to reduce anxiety, support emotional regulation, and restore a sense of calm and control. The approach is practical, structured, and tailored to support meaningful and lasting change.
