Bicester OX25
At YouFusion Therapy, I combine deep hypnotherapy expertise with many years' psychotherapy training in a confidential, empathetic relationship that’s focused on where you are now, and where you want to go.
You were born to flourish, in your own way and on your own terms. Sometimes the pressures of life, fueled by difficult past experiences, make us lose touch with the inner resources that make us who we are. There may be anxiety, depression or low self-esteem as a result. Relationship difficulties. Challenging patterns of thought and behaviour. Ingrained beliefs that we know, deep down, aren't even ours. Sometimes there's a persistent, niggling uncertainty about who we are, what life means and what we truly need.

You may appear to be coping on the outside, yet internally feel anxious, overwhelmed or exhausted by constant overthinking. I help adults understand the patterns keeping them stuck, so therapy creates meaningful, lasting change - not just temporary relief. Perhaps you're stuck repeating the same patterns, questioning yourself, or wondering why life feels harder than it should. As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, helping you better understand yourself with curiosity rather than judgement.

Sam Lewis Therapy
Counsellor, MNCPS Acc.
You might feel like you’ve spent years trying to cope — pushing through, masking, or holding everything together — but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted. I work with people who have experienced trauma, including sexual or domestic abuse, and those who feel misunderstood or out of place, particularly neurodivergent clients (ADHD/autism). Many of the people I support have spent a long time feeling like they don’t quite fit, or struggling to make sense of their experiences.

We encounter various kinds of difficulties and challenges every day. At times, it can be challenging to open up to others, therefore leading to feelings of confusion and a sense of powerlessness. Recently, many individuals from Hong Kong who have relocated to the UK have faced setbacks in their social, professional, or academic pursuits. Such challenges often stem from uncertainties surrounding self-image and self-worth while adapting to a new environment. If you find yourself in a similar situation, exploring yourself through psychological counseling can provide you with more effective means to understand and address these emotions

Hypnotherapy Counsellors
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a film, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behaviour change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognising a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself, so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.

Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.

Can everyone be hypnotised?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotised. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotised may not respond to the technique because of their scepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.

Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviours like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
