Hi, I’m Sue Peckham and along with my business partner, James Holmes I am a director of Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre.
I love my work as a full-time professional hypnotherapist and hypnoanalist and I have never looked back since qualifying as hypnotherapist with the HCB in 2004. Since then I have continued to study and keep up to date with developments in the world of hypnotherapy and particularly hypnoanalysis. I have achieved advanced and accredited status within the IAPH and have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) certificate.
I am able to help my clients to permanently resolve the underlying cause of the symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, lack of motivation and many other emotional difficulties with Pure Hypnoanalysis which is only practiced by members of the IAPH.
Following years of being overweight and unsuccessful dieting, along with James, I developed the unique weight loss programme in 2004, lost 3 1/2 stone, and have subsequently helped hundreds of my clients to successfully lose thousands of lbs in weight and keep that weight off permanently. I am passionate about ensuring my clients get the results they want in the shortest time possible.
In the last 2 years James and I have also added our specialist ‘Virtual Gastric Band Surgery’ to the list of therapies available to help our clients with obesity problems.
I also specialise in the treatment of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia nervosa and obesity in both adults and children.
I have an extremely high success rate in helping clients who have sought my help for the symptoms of ME, CFS and PVS and strongly believe that the right help can result in a permanent resolution of these conditions.
I am able to offer my clients a choice of suggestion therapy or hypnoanalysis or Challenging Limiting Beliefs Training so can ensure that every client I treat gets the very best therapy for their symptoms in a caring, professional and non-judgemental environment.
Please feel free to contact me at any time by phone on 0800 970 4776 or by e-mail at info@hantshypno.co.uk or info@suepeckham.co.uk
I look forward to hearing from you!
Sue

Hi, I’m James Holmes, cofounder of the Hampshire Hypnotherapy and Counselling Centre & Fareham Counselling Centre. Over the past 20 years, my passion has been to help improve people’s lives, and to propel those individuals on a path towards living the most extraordinary life possible.
As one of the U.K.’s thought leaders on belief systems and human potential, I have dedicated years to helping people challenge how they think. The resulting outcome of this is improved health and happiness levels along with better mental well-being and resilience. I believe I can do that for you also.
To try and reach as many people as possible with my unique transformative method, in 2022 I wrote the book ‘How to Overcome the Bully in Your Brain’. I have been thrilled by the reaction to this book, and to watch it not only become a best seller but to be awarded self-help book of the year 2022.
I have a particular interest in helping people overcome whatever it has been in life that is holding them back. This could be anything from addictions, depression and anxiety to their own self-limiting beliefs. If you want your life to be transformed in the shortest imaginable time, and to completely turn your life around, then reach out to me at the contact details on this website. I look forward to meeting you in person.
Until then
Best wishes
James
P.S: Recently I had the pleasure of speaking to a client I had worked with several years ago. This client had suffered from depression for years and had been close to suicide. I worked with him to learn how to manage his thinking and challenge his beliefs, and he began to really flourish and enjoy life far more than he ever had before. As a lovely twist to the story, one day he was driving over a bridge, a bridge which sadly had often been used by people wishing to take their own life. He encountered a young man trying to do just that. He got out of his car, sat with this individual and taught him the techniques that I had passed on to him years before. As a result, this individual, fortunately, chose not to take his life that day and is now getting the help he needs.

Hello, my name is Stacey. I am an experienced Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist and Life Coach. I am also a Certified Hypnobirthing Practitioner helping expectant parents enjoy a more relaxed pregnancy and birth experience.
Using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, I help you see results more quickly by focusing on your present and future, rather than your past.
I see many clients: adults and teenagers alike, who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, phobias and loss (including relationship breakdown). Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you move forward, boost your confidence, and reach your goals.
The list of conditions that I help with is not exhaustive; if you have a problem that it is stopping you from living the life that you would like then please do get in touch to see how I may be able to help you.
We all need a bit of help at certain times in our lives, and I am here to support you when you are feeling in need of a helping hand to find your way forward. Whatever your reason for choosing to work with me, you will find that my approach is personalised and relevant to you, as an individual. I make no assumptions and offer a safe, confidential space where you can speak freely and without judgement.
I am very enthusiastic about the improvements I see within my clients, and I look forward to hearing from you and working with you to incite positive change in your life.

My name is Megan Newell. I am a professional Hypnotherapist and qualified counsellor. I can help you with stress, anxiety, self-defeating behaviours, and relationships.
Through hypnotherapy and counselling, I can tailor sessions specifically for you to help you to control, manage and remove your symptoms and learn to let go of any negativity and become more positive.
I am here to help you to get on track and achieve your goals in a way that works for you and your individual circumstances. We will work together to find the best approach to help you move forward and enable you to live a more enriched and fulfilled life.
I am passionate about helping people to become the best version of themselves and feel balanced and happy in their lives. Having been lucky enough to have had counseling and hypnotherapy myself I know how invaluable this type of therapy can be to help you to take a step back from your situation, clear your mind and find the solutions you are looking for.
Knowing that you are in a safe environment where you can really work through your issues was a priority for me, and is now my priority for you knowing that you will not be judged and can speak freely and honestly to find the best solutions for your personal circumstances.

I can help you work with issues such as stress and anxiety, fears and phobias, weight management and self-defeating behaviours and much more. As well as adults, I am also qualified to work with children aged 5-17 years.
When we work together, I will tailor your sessions to meet your specific needs to enable you to achieve your hypnotherapy goal.

My name is Joanna Bevis and I am a professional Client-Centred Hypnotherapist and Hypnoanalyst. I have a particular interest in working with anxiety, stress, and depression along with the associated issues that these conditions can underpin. Hypnotherapy gives you the power to cut negative ties, thoughts, and behaviours once and for all, truly letting go and enabling you to move forward calm, confident and in control.
Being a manager of people for many years I have always been one to devote my time to my staff’s needs by talking, listening, and nurturing them through their careers, personal worries, and beyond. In recent years it has become more and more apparent how much anxiety and stress are now such a hugely toxic part of so many people’s daily lives. I felt the natural step for me was to get professionally trained so I could help people achieve real positive change in the way they feel.
Using Hypno Analysis and Hypnotherapist Psychodynamic techniques I can help you uncover blockages and work through underlying issues often undetected at a conscious level. I am also a qualified Parts and Ego States Therapist, which is an excellent tool to resolve internal conflicts, allowing you to move forwards unhindered towards your goals. I also facilitate Past Life Regressions which are a gentle form of hypnotherapy taking the client back to memories of past lives. This can help you understand why you may be drawn to certain places, people, or vocations. As well as uncovering the message you needed to learn in that life that will help you through your issues in this one.
Your bespoke sessions are tailored specifically for your needs and what you want to achieve with a kind, caring, and holistic approach. Working together you can be free of past negative programming and look forward to living your life feeling calm, confident, and in control. I feel blessed that I can now share the peace, healing, and change that hypnotherapy can achieve.
I am very passionate about the positive changes we can make and look forward to meeting you at Hampshire Hypnotherapy and Counselling Centre.

Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD)
Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH)

Hello, my name is Patsy and I am an experienced and qualified Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. This is a modern and psychotherapeutic solution-based approach which focuses on self-development and on the principle that everyone already holds the required resources to overcome their perceived problems and/or behaviours. It is essentially a talking therapy that uses a combination of hypnosis, psychotherapy and neurolinguistic techniques (NLP) which are used to resolve unwanted behaviours and limiting beliefs that can take the form of anxiety, stress, phobias, lack of confidence, low self-esteem, chronic pain, insomnia and much more. Hypnosis is underpinned by neuroscience and research and is actually very ordinary in many ways; we all experience hypnosis daily and can be likened to ‘day-dreaming’.
I continue to study in line with my Professional Body and have gained specialist training in NICE-endorsed Gut Directed Hypnotherapy which is used to relieve and manage the negative effects of IBS in adults and children. My training has also included the completion of a Diploma in Medical Hypnotherapy to further expand my knowledge and skill set.
Each client I see shapes my own experiences leading to continued personal learning. I feel privileged to work alongside clients who decide to take those first curious steps towards hypnotherapy and positive change. My aim is to help you determine where you are now, where you visualise yourself in the future and support you in order to achieve that vision. It is a positive and completely natural process that takes place in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. The bespoke therapy plan and collaborative relationship that forms are of crucial importance and will guide clients towards this desired change or enhanced living.
My personal journey into hypnotherapy, like so many of my peers, has not been a direct one. Along with all the theory and qualifications I draw on my personal life experiences in order to execute my job to the very best of my ability. So, if that time for change and improved well-being is something you are now ready to begin then perhaps hypnotherapy with me could be ‘the therapy’ you explore in order to accomplish this.

Hi, my name is Anthony, I come from a military background and have an invested interest in Service Personnel, Veterans and their Families. Throughout my career I witnessed several good people suffer in silence either refusing to acknowledge they were struggling or fearful that asking for help would somehow have negative repercussions, either professionally or personally. Likewise, I have witnessed the impact that these issues have on the individuals’ families.
During my career I have dealt with relationship breakdowns, custody arrangements and children’s services to name but a few, I believe having served has given me a unique insight into service personnel/ veterans, their families and the unique vernacular they choose to use when describing issues or voicing frustrations.
I strongly believe that the only person who can make a positive change in their life is the individual, I also believe that when you feel like the world is on your shoulders and you’ve had enough of “Grizzin it” or “digging in” it really does help to have someone to talk to in a confidential, safe not judgmental environment.
I look forward to providing that environment for you at Hampshire Hypnotherapy and Counselling Centre Ltd and to joining you on your journey of self-discovery.
We fit all our therapy around you, not you around our therapy.
We offer a bespoke, practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy, both in person and online. We’re able to give you the help you need to live your life more quickly, not spend the next 20 years on a therapy couch.
We guarantee that we will provide you with the highest quality of therapy. All of our team are highly skilled, experienced and qualified practitioners who are committed to providing you with the very best care possible. If there's ever any reason that you feel you aren't getting the most out of your sessions, please tell us and we'll do everything we can to help you find another therapist who will better meet your needs.
