Sophia Hanson

You already know something in your life needs to change.

Maybe anxiety has been showing up more than you’d like.
Perhaps old fears, habits or self-doubt keep pulling you back.

The good news is that real change is possible - often more quickly and gently than people expect.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

I help people change from the inside out using hypnotherapy, coaching & mind-body practices.

And if you’re really honest… you probably didn’t land on this page by accident.

**Do one or more of these statements sound like you right now?**

You feel anxious, it’s exhausting for you, and it’s starting to affect your relationships and career.
You have a fear or phobia (spiders, birds, snakes, etc.), and you’re ready to let it go.
You’re stressed, overworked, and close to burnout - you know something needs to change before it’s too late

You’re terrified of flying, maybe you’ve even turned back at the airport.
You’re intelligent, yet find yourself shaking when presenting or speaking up in groups. Sales conversations fill you with dread.
You’re reaching for chocolate, cakes, biscuits, wine, or cigarettes to take the edge off the day - and you’re ready to stop.

If I’m your person, send a message. Let’s talk.

I’ve been working with people’s hearts & minds for 16+ years.

I’ve seen so much advice on what to say here to make you buy from me right now.

Scripts. Tactics. Strategies, but who wants to start off feeling duped??

I’d rather you see exactly who I am, nothing hidden, nothing pushed. Just one human being speaking honestly to another (neither of us perfect).

You have your expertise in whatever you do, in the life you’ve lived, in the

challenges you’re facing.

My expertise is helping people like you create real change. Letting go of fears and phobias. Quieting the thoughts that hold them back. Finding the courage to become who they know they’re meant to be.

Sometimes that means reinventing yourself.
Sometimes it means gently chipping away the pieces that brought you here in the first place.

Either way, it’s honest work. It’s time to come home to the real you.

If I don’t believe I’m the right person to help you, I will let you know.

Let me tell you a story…

In 2009, after a two week break (and the implosion of my first marriage), I returned to my little booth in the open plan office and burst into tears when I discovered 500+ emails waiting to suck the life out of me.
In that moment I knew I had to resign.
I set up my own biz expecting my life to radically change. It didn’t.

💞What my clients say 💞

My self-belief soared and now I'm much more content with my life.

If anyone is considering working with Sophia - I'd say - do it NOW!! Your life will change, for the better, by being kind to yourself and others. It really works. I found a mixture of one-to-one and group sessions challenging, thought-provoking, insightful & hugely enjoyable. I was floundering before but after working with Sophia, my self-belief soared and now I'm much more content with my life. I work full-time and recently started my own business which I intend to grow so that I can be fully self-employed.

It’s an investment you cannot put a price on.

Sophia has the kind of expertise that I cannot find words for. She will help you change the way you think and therefore enable you to live your life in a happier way. Don’t ever hesitate to work with her. She is non-judgemental and listens to you in a way you probably have never ever been listened to before. She has the skills to help you realise all that you need to do in order to move forward and be free – regardless of how traumatic your life may be, has been, or might be in the future. I am so very grateful that I found her. Believe me when I say it’s an investment you cannot put a price on.

My public speaking fear had just sort of GONE

I hated public speaking and was so nervous about giving a presentation I thought I’d freeze and stop dead mid sentence, or have to pull a sickie to get out of it.

I was constantly second guessing and asking my friends (who don’t even work in the same industry as me) if what I was going to say would make sense. It was a total nightmare.

I’d have a dry mouth, sweat, racing heart so when I heard how much Sophia had helped other people, I knew I had to give it a go. She made it all so easy and helped me out with new content ideas.

When I presented to 35 people I wasn’t sweating, I wasn’t shaking. I wasn’t racing through it at 100mph, and I didn’t freeze.
The fear had just sort of GONE - and it had been EASY.
I can now proudly say I hardly procrastinate or avoid important aspects of my life.

Before meeting Sophia, I was very self-deprecating. I had a poor understanding of myself and what my life was about. Testament to Sophia’s expertise, within just four sessions I understood how to create time and space for who I really was.
The real advantage is that Sophia understands what information is missing for me to develop true understanding, and how to phrase it so I can easily digest it. I have learnt techniques to improve my confidence, enthusiasm, and drive. I can now proudly say I hardly procrastinate or avoid important aspects of my life. With time I have no doubt that Sophia will be able to teach me unshakeable confidence and achieve whatever goal I set for myself without fear, thus allowing me to be the man and photographer I deserve to be.
