Hypnotherapy for Sleep with Sarah Hudson

Online or in-person in Worcester, UK

Struggling with sleep? I’m here to help.

Hi, I’m Sarah Hudson. I help people break free from poor sleep, whether it’s trouble falling asleep, waking during the night or never feeling truly rested.

Sleep struggles often go hand-in-hand with stress, anxiety and a racing mind. Using a personalised blend of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy, I help you calm your nervous system, shift unhelpful patterns and work with your mind in a more strategic, supportive way.

CBT and hypnotherapy are gentle, effective tools that complement medical treatment for insomnia and sleep difficulties, especially when stress or overwhelm are part of the picture. Together, we’ll focus on what you can control to ease stress, build sustainable sleep habits and create the right conditions for truly restorative rest.

What clients say

  • “I've been a bad sleeper for years and it has really worn me down. You've helped me understand the causes and put easy and workable strategies into place that immediately made a difference.”

  • “Thank you so much – the change in the way I feel is nothing short of miraculous. I genuinely feel that I have the tools I need to cope now. You have been patient, kind and thoughtful, and have worked with me at exactly the pace I needed.”

  • “This experience has been life changing. I feel emotionally stronger and better equipped to manage stressful situations. At all times I felt in a safe space and at ease.”

  • “I’ve really enjoyed the sessions and the outcome. Yesterday I was in the garden cleaning my caravan and I heard the familiar buzz of a wasp. I was so pleased with myself for remaining calm and unbothered. Thank you for enabling me to behave in a different way.”

About me

I've always been drawn to understanding what makes us feel well, and over time, sleep became a subject I couldn’t stop reading about. I’m fascinated by the way it affects everything from emotional resilience to immune health, and I regularly follow the work of leading sleep researchers like Matthew Walker and Russell Foster.

The more I learned, the more I saw how poor sleep silently shapes so much of what people struggle with, including anxiety, low mood, memory, motivation, and how deeply it impacts day-to-day life. That’s why I chose to specialise in helping clients overcome sleep issues using evidence-based hypnotherapy and CBT. I’ve gained a respected qualification in this work (Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy) and combine practical, science-backed strategies with a warm, down-to-earth approach.

Outside my practice, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two grown-up daughters, and going on long walks with our dog.

Fees

I offer hypnotherapy as a structured course of treatment, designed to give you the time and consistency needed to create real, lasting change. Most clients benefit from six sessions, which are booked as a block for £450. This allows us to work at a steady pace and build meaningful progress over time.

If, after the first couple of sessions, it feels like a different approach or timing would suit you better, we can review the plan together. The fee will be adjusted accordingly. Top-up sessions are also available at £80 each for ongoing support when needed.

Location

Sessions are held online or at a lovely therapy room in Worcester City Centre, a five-minute walk from Foregate Station.
