Hello! I am Laura; Woman, Mother, Adventurer and Hypnotherapist.
Laura Chapman
I spent a long time working in a profession I no longer cared for, wasting time on things that I didn't want to do. I think we've all been there! I have always been really passionate about helping others find happiness, achieve their goals and make the changes they so desperately need, so after some soul searching (via failures, choices, learnings, qualifications!), here I am, I've found my passion and I'm ready to help.
In my spare time, I love hiking, weight lifting and dancing to old-school house music or 80's power ballads. Also, Meatloaf. Just saying. I love my family and friends and connections are really important to me! I also have two children, so I really understand the joys* of parenting. Ohhhh, also, 2022 has seen me become a leader in the Scouts! I am part of the Squirrel Dreys and the Beaver scouts, I think I have more fun than the recruits haha.
Before we come to qualifications, I want you to know that I am here to help you be the best you that you can be. I have used self-hypnosis & cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy in many areas of my own life, including weight loss of 15kg and adopting a healthy exercise regime amongst other things. It has made me a happier person, a better parent, less overwhelmed, and helped me process my Birth Trauma. I had first-hand experience of Hypnobirthing before I worked in this field and (to be totally honest, I think its toxic positivity added to my BT!), now as an evidence-based practitioner (ironic?), I realise that "hypnobirthing" is not clinical hypnosis. So, I'm here to do it properly, without all the fluff! Also, FYI, we ALL have (or had) issues, trust me. Hardly anyone believes me when I tell them this, It's true! Do not believe Social Media!
OK, so important stuff.
I am a fully qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and all my training and supervision has been completed at the prestigious Anglo-European College of Therapeutic Hypnosis with Adam Eason, one of only seven schools worldwide certified to teach certain courses. I also assist in the classroom at the college and highly recommend it to anyone considering training! As a member of the UK Hypnotherapy Council (UKHC) and the National Council of Hypnotherapists (NCH), I adhere to a stringent Code of Ethical Conduct. I hold full insurance to practice Clinical Hypnotherapy, as well as being DBS checked, for paediatric application of hypnosis.
I have Diplomas in Clinical Hypnotherapy, Hypnotherapy in Practice and NLP practice and I am also currently in my final year of Bsc (Hons) Psychology with Sociology through the University of Surrey. I have also completed a Child Psychology Diploma (CPD, Level 3) and a Counselling Skills course (Level 2). I am committed to life-long learning! Masters in September, if my children haven't worn me out by then!
I love helping people transform and conquer their problems once and for all, I get that buzz! Honestly, some sessions (and long-term results for that matter) just absolutely blow me away, it is a privilege to be a witness to such huge life-changing events! I love it!
Hypnotherapy is often a last resort for people because of misconceptions about how it works. It is a collaboration between us and everyone is capable of having their own unique experience!
Quite often, I find people are amazed by the experience of Hypnotherapy, there is nothing magical about the process, yet something quite profound about the outcome.
Feel free to call or email me for a free initial phone consultation, I will always give you my honest opinion. I use evidence-based hypnotherapy and I believe that everyone should have access to learning these skills. If you are a low-income family please contact me, I will consider adding you to my waiting list for discounted or free therapy.
A wealth of empirical evidence to support hypnotherapy is available, allowing me to use scientifically proven and evidence-based techniques to overcome a whole range of issues. I use a sociocognitive behavioural perspective, to change mindsets and teach important skills, giving you freedom from your current problems and preventing issues from arising in future.
Although I really enjoy helping people in a wide range of areas, I feel particularly passionately about traumas, depression and anxiety.
You are not alone.

Georgina Davey
As a mother of two children born in very different ways, I recognise that an empowered pregnancy and birth is not about how the baby comes out. It is essential that, at every step of the way, the mother or birthing person feels informed and confident to make the right decisions about their care and their birth choices. As a Doula and Birth Educator, advocating for Women's Rights in birth, I can support you at any stage of this journey. I am a trustee of a new (status pending) charity, "Here We Grow", that aims to highlight some of these areas.
My interest in helping others began over 16 years ago when I first trained in Massage and Healing. Since then I have continued learning and adding to my skill set, teaching women's Chi Gung amongst other things. I have practiced talk therapy and believe this is also important when resolving issues.
More recently I have become a Certified Nutritionist. I believe that Food is our Medicine. Many illnesses stem from poor nutrition, helping people make positive changes is something I am very passionate about.

Georgina has been helping clients for over decade with her wealth of knowledge. She is a qualified Nutritional therapist and has been a Birth Educator and coach for a number of years, more recently training as a Doula to help women have a positive experience through every step of their journey into pregnancy, birth and parenthood. As a mother of two, each with very different births, she recognises that it is essential for women to feel empowered and confident in their abilities, for a healthy birthing experience.
"I have worked in London and Paris, helping people with trauma, and am also qualified in energy healing and Chi Gung. As well as helping people achieve positive birthing experiences, I very much believe that food is medicine and the right balance of healing foods for each person can bring a state of strength, vitality and robust health that is fundamental to our well-being".
