Questions and answers
Getting to know me, in brief.
Who is Susannah Saunders?
I’m Susannah Saunders, an award-winning Senior Clinical Hypnotherapist and the founder of the Lewisham Hypnotherapy Practice. I have practised in London since 2003, after two years as an assistant clinical psychologist in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
How long have you been a hypnotherapist?
I have been a clinical hypnotherapist for over 20 years. I founded my London practice in 2003, and over that time I have helped clients with anxiety, confidence, sleep, fears and phobias, weight loss and stopping smoking or vaping.
Who do you work with?
I work with adults from all walks of life, including busy professionals, parents, managers, directors and CEOs. Many of my clients seem fine to other people and want to feel calmer, more confident and more in control.
How do you work?
I work with an integrative approach, combining Curative™ hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT and solution-focused hypnotherapy to suit you. Curative™ hypnotherapy is an advanced technique that finds and releases the deepest root cause of a problem, often a belief formed in childhood, and installs new, more helpful beliefs.
Why is your approach evidence-based?
My approach is evidence-based because it is grounded in neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new neural pathways throughout life. Each session, and each time you listen to the personalised recording, strengthens the new pathways until the new way of feeling becomes automatic.
Where are you based?
I am based in Lewisham, South East London, and I work online on secure, encrypted Zoom. I see clients across Brockley, Blackheath, Hither Green, Lee, Catford, Greenwich, Forest Hill and the rest of South East London, and anywhere in the UK.
Is working with you confidential?
Yes, working with me is confidential and discreet. Sessions take place on secure, encrypted Zoom, I follow the GHSC code of ethics, and the practice is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ZB654528).
What is the personalised recording?
The personalised recording is a hypnosis audio that I make for you, based on what you want to achieve. You listen to it between sessions, and it strengthens the changes every day.

I just hit one year smoke free and wanted to jump on and give Susannah more praise. I’m so pleased start, to finish and to this day with my experience
