About me

I’m Sally Abbott - Hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner and Life Coach with a belief that the stories we tell ourselves shape how we live. For years I noticed a simple truth: most of the struggles we face - anxiety, self-doubt, habits that hold us back - come from how we think, not from a lack of effort. That’s why I trained in clinical hypnotherapy and NLP - to help people change how their mind works, not just what it thinks.

I work with people who want meaningful change. People who are done with quick fixes, tired of feeling stuck, and ready to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. My approach is practical, evidence-based, and grounded in real psychology and neuroscience. Together we listen, explore patterns, and build new ways of thinking that actually work in your daily life.

Your mind isn’t the problem - it’s a tool. My job is to help you reset the focus of that tool so it works for you, not against you. If you’re ready to experience life differently - with more confidence, clarity, and calm - that’s exactly why I’m here.

"I had a lot of anxiety before working with Sally but with her support and hypnotherapy tools I was able to manage my fears in a unique way. Sally is an incredible hypnotherapist who is extremely calm, practical and empowering. With her supportive help and guidance I mastered my fear of giving birth with breathing, visualisations and calming techniques.” Lucy

"Sally has helped with so much I was struggling with: diet, exercise, anger, worry and self-doubt - she has provided me with practical tools to help me overcome my stresses and helped me to achieve a realistic goal of relaxation and calmness. I am indebted to her!" Althea

What I offer

I offer personalised hypnotherapy that helps you make real, lasting changes - whether it’s stress, confidence, habits or health goals. This isn’t generic self-help. It’s a structured, evidence-informed approach that gives you the tools you need, not scripts you’re left to figure out on your own.

Here’s how I help people get results:

We start with where you are now — clear, practical conversations so I understand your goals.
We look at the patterns holding you back — not to judge, but to understand how they formed and how they can change.
We use clinical hypnosis and NLP to reset unhelpful thinking, strengthen confidence, and build new ways of responding to life.

This work helps with things like anxiety, unwanted habits, confidence, stress management, pain control, fears and phobias and improving wellbeing. Every session is confidential, supportive, and focused on what you want to achieve.

I offer sessions online and in person, so you can choose what fits your life. If you’re ready to move beyond worrying, waiting, or feeling stuck - I offer a space to change that into confidence, clarity, and real progress.
