Services
Anxiety Relief
Our anxiety relief therapy uses solution-focused hypnotherapy to address the root causes of stress and worry. By combining neuroscience education with guided trance techniques, we help clients reprogram negative thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies. This service is ideal for individuals seeking lasting relief from generalized anxiety, panic attacks, or situational stressors.
Phobia Treatment
Specialized phobia treatment employs gradual exposure techniques within a therapeutic trance state to reframe fear responses. Clients learn to dissociate triggers from negative reactions through personalized visualization exercises. This approach has proven effective for common phobias like fear of flying, public speaking, and medical procedures, with lasting results reported in client testimonials.
Weight Management
The weight management program focuses on changing subconscious associations with food through cognitive restructuring techniques. Clients develop healthier relationships with eating by addressing emotional triggers and establishing positive neural pathways. This service includes behavioral modification strategies and self-hypnosis techniques to maintain long-term lifestyle changes without restrictive dieting.
IBS Support
IBS support combines gut-brain axis therapy with stress reduction techniques to alleviate digestive symptoms. By addressing the psychological components of irritable bowel syndrome through hypnotherapy, clients report significant improvements in symptom management and quality of life. The program includes personalized relaxation exercises to regulate digestive function.
Confidence Building
Confidence-building therapy focuses on restructuring negative self-perception through positive suggestion techniques. Clients develop stronger self-worth by addressing limiting beliefs and practicing mental rehearsal exercises during trance states. This service has helped clients overcome social anxiety, improve professional performance, and establish healthier personal relationships through sustained cognitive changes.

Sallie is such a warm, kind and compassionate person and therapist who put me at ease from day one. I initially visited Sallie for face time face session due to anxiety and more recently have been receiving treatment via Zoom. I can honestly say that I have not noticed a difference in how effective the treatment has been via zoom so please dont let this out you off. Sallie has helped me manage my anxiety by changing my way of thinking which in turn has built my confidence. Her treatment plan draws on her extensive experience of the inner workings of the brain and she is excellent at explaining

Been with Sallie for three years since 2017. Would need to write about 100 pages to write all the good things that have happened in this time. Sallie has calmed down my anxieties to the state I hardly feel I have anxiety anymore. And she has given me the confidence to do things I'd never have thought possible. Highly recommend.

I've worked with Sallie at Libra for just over 3 years now. I've given Sallie 5 Stars for her services as she has worked with me through a number of personal difficulties in the past. The benefits of developing a completely new way of thinking have been vast and this reflects both at home and at work. I still continue to see Sallie - at a much lesser frequency - but nowadays, for me, its more about maintaining a healthy, agile and resilient mind so I can meet my career goals and aspirations - which at one time, I never believed to be possible! I look forward to continuing to work with Sallie for

I can't recommend Libra Hypnotherapies enough! Each session is so interesting to listen to on a variety of different and relevant subjects. Sallie explains the complex workings of the brain, our emotions, reactions and rational but in a friendly & engaging way that is easy to understand - always followed by some much needed relaxation.
