What issues can I help you with?

How can remedial hypnosis help you?

We work together to change the thought patterns, beliefs and behaviours that once made sense to you - to protect or comfort you - but which are stopping you from being confident and happy today.

This is a talking therapy with a difference; the conversation is with your subconscious mind - the part of you that is responsible for your emotions and the things you say and do without thinking.

There is no trance involved, you are awake and participate throughout.

"Sarah is amazing. Not only does she have incredible soothing energy; she has the ability to take you back to traumatic times that you completely forgot about. Things that inevitably hold you back. She helps to address them and let go. She has many resources and techniques to apply to maintain your work as well. I highly recommend. Definitely needed in these challenging times. Thank you"

RM, England

"Thank you to Sarah who worked with me for 4 sessions plus an initial consultation. She is so friendly and has a way of putting people at ease, I was anxious to even go on zoom with a stranger and Sarah was very patient with me. She has a way of explaining the subconscious mind that makes complete sense to a novice and has great techniques and advice too."

Kate, Portugal

"I can't recommend Sarah enough. After years of anxiety bought about by several traumatic events my mind is finally at peace and I have the confidence to go about my daily life without fear or worry. I will be honest, I was sceptical to how the hypnotherapy could work, but believe me it did and with just three sessions I have regained control of my 'ship'. Sarah is excellent, she is everything you want a therapist to be; calm, reassuring but funny and relatable too. Thank you so much!"

Why work with me?

"Sarah is so helpful and knowledgeable and made me see connections with my behaviour and past experiences that I hadn't realised were so important. "

I've worked with people, in various roles, since the age of 17 - in hospitality, as an independent mortgage broker in London and Dublin, as an equine assisted training coach and now as a qualified CONTROL System remedial hypnotist.

For me, the most important quality for a therapist is to listen, really listen and to have no preconceptions or fixed ideas. You are unique, with your own unique story. You deserve my undivided attention, my skills and experience to address the issues that brought you to me.

Let's talk

What actually happens in a remedial hypnosis session?

Jo came to see me to tackle a long standing weight issue. During the initial consultation she also revealed a fear of spiders, which I was happy to help with as part of the program. You can see updates from Jo on the Youtube channel.

Annie originally came to see me in 2023 to gain control of her comfort eating however a family tragedy meant we postponed the sessions for a year. In these sessions we talk about trauma, loss, grief and moving forward.

If you are based in central Portugal we can arrange face-to-face sessions, otherwise we work on Zoom (or similar). You will need to be able to use your hands so a laptop or a tablet with a stand is ideal. Most sessions last around an hour but there is no time restriction.

"I connected with Sarah on video call. I can wholeheartedly recommend her. She is so kind and really listens to everything you say and genuinely cares - It's amazing how fast changes can be made. (I haven't reached for any chocolate or any food out of stress since our last session - I just don't crave it anymore"

Felicity, UK

"Sarah is an exceptionally reassuring presence from the get go who manages to put you at ease. Our sessions have left me so much more optimistic for the future & able to live happily, I am so grateful"

Roxanna, Lisbon

"I connected with Sarah through LinkedIn, and while I couldn't access her right away due to my move, I saved her info for just the right time. Best move ever! Life empowering move for me. First time using hypnotherapy! Wish I had used sooner. Significantly improved the quality of my relationships by reducing impacts of triggers. I'm grateful for the positive impact produced in so little time"

Veronica, Portugal

"I saw Sarah mainly because I was curious about this "non-trance" hypnosis but, being a fairly skeptical person, was not expecting to get a whole lot out of it. Wrong! In our initial conversation, Sarah seemed to easily figure out what was really bothering me (and it wasn't what I thought it was).

When Sarah explained more about the process, the idea that it could produce meaningful results just seemed too good to be true. At our second session, after guiding me into a relaxed state, in which I remained fully aware of what was going on around me, Sarah simply had a conversation with my subconscious and told me I could choose to let go of the emotional baggage I'd been dragging around for so many years. Wait.... WHAT?? Really? Just like that?

Yes, just like that! I would be the first one to doubt it was possible, but there was no denying that I instantly felt a weight lifting. As I write this now, some time after my session with Sarah, I can still say that the hurtful memories that had all too frequently reduced me to tears no longer seem important, and that feeling seems to extend to other less-than-pleasant experiences from the past.

For a long time, I've told myself that I couldn't undo things that had hurt me in the past, but I could stop letting them affect my present...except I couldn't. That is changing now."

“I went to Sarah to help me get over my fear of getting on a horse. I have been riding horses almost all my life, but unfortunately, I quit six years ago. My fear of getting on a horse came from a nasty fall that ended my riding career.

I’ve had two beautiful sessions with Sarah in a setting where I could be myself. She listened to my stories patiently and made me feel very comfortable. Sarah asked questions that made me think about what triggered my negative thoughts and emotions, which helped me enormously.

It felt like I went back to the moment in my life from which the old belief arose that getting on a horse can be dangerous. Thanks to Sarah, I can put things into perspective now much better. I no longer picture myself in the hospital when I get on a horse, but I am enjoying a ride and focusing on the good things. Both sessions made me feel a little lighter, and my hope of getting back on a horse grew.

After the first session, I was still very nervous, but I managed to get on a horse. After the second session, I got on a horse again, and I loved every second!! I feel that something in me has changed, and a new chapter has begun in which I revive my passion. I am enormously grateful to Sarah, and I would recommend her as a hypnotherapist to anyone, especially if you have any fear or problems with horse riding.”

Ashley, Canada

I had never heard of remedial hypnosis therapy before, always being a little skeptical of alternative health and wellness practices. But, I can now say after a couple successful sessions with Sarah, I am inspired and intrigued. I am left hopeful and optimistic to be able to improve and control stubborn ingrained habits that I had assumed I would be perpetually stuck with.
Sarah is a realistic and grounded practitioner, whose approach felt gentle, safe, unintimidating and most importantly efficient and practical, addressing our subconscious to alleviate and shift the issues we struggle with. I would absolutely recommend booking a session with Out of Chaos Therapy for those seeking a positive shift or adjustment in their lives.

What is the process and how much does it cost?

We always begin with a FREE/no obligation initial Zoom consultation to make sure this type of therapy is right for you and that we are comfortable working together. This takes around an hour but there is no clock running!

If you are happy to proceed we arrange the change sessions, normally once a week for three weeks at a time that suits you. If more sessions are required to complete the work then there is no extra charge. In the final session you will learn the CONTROL System technique so that you will be able to communicate with your own powerful subconscious mind.

The cost of the full program is £495, payable when booking the change sessions.
