Meet Our Team

Sue Peckham -

MIAEBP (Acc) D.Hyp (Adv)

Hi, I’m Sue Peckham and along with my business partner, James Holmes I am a director of Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre.

I love my work as a full-time professional hypnotherapist and hypnoanalist and I have never looked back since qualifying as hypnotherapist with the HCB in 2004. Since then I have continued to study and keep up to date with developments in the world of hypnotherapy and particularly hypnoanalysis. I have achieved advanced and accredited status within the IAPH and have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) certificate.

I am able to help my clients to permanently resolve the underlying cause of the symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, lack of motivation and many other emotional difficulties with Pure Hypnoanalysis which is only practiced by members of the IAPH.

Following years of being overweight and unsuccessful dieting, along with James, I developed the unique weight loss programme in 2004, lost 3 1/2 stone, and have subsequently helped 100’s of my clients to successfully lose thousands of lbs in weight and keep that weight off permanently. I am passionate about ensuring my clients get the results they want in the shortest time possible.

In the last 2 years James and I have also added our specialist ‘Virtual Gastric Band Surgery’ to the list of therapies available to help our clients with obesity problems.

I also specialise in the treatment of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia nervosa and obesity in both adults and children.

I have an extremely high success rate in helping clients who have sought my help for the symptoms of ME, CFS and PVS and strongly believe that the right help can result in a permanent resolution of these conditions.

I am able to offer my clients a choice of suggestion therapy or hypnoanalysis or Challenging Limiting Beliefs Training so can ensure that every client I treat gets the very best therapy for their symptoms in a caring, professional and non-judgemental environment.

Please feel free to contact me at any time by phone on 0800 970 4776 or by e-mail at info@hantshypno.co.uk or info@suepeckham.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you!

James Holmes

MIAEBP (Acc) D.Hyp (Adv) B. Ed LTCL

Hello and welcome.

My name is James Holmes and along with my business partner Sue Peckham, I am a full time professional Hypnotherapist and Hypnoanalyst.

I am the co-creator of the world-renowned range of ‘12 Weeks to Wow!’ series of hypnotherapy apps. Downloads of our range of best-selling apps is now fast approaching 1 million. We also offer help and support through one-to-one sessions at our practice in Hampshire as well as online support through our popular groups on social media.

I qualified as a hypnotherapist and hypnoanalyst in 2003 after leaving a career in teaching, during which time I received an award from Her Majesty the Queen for services to education. Since opening the Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre with my business partner, Sue Peckham, we have helped more than 500,000 people to overcome anxiety, fears, phobias, addictions and stress as well as to lose weight and stop smoking with our life-changing programmes and apps including our ‘Virtual Gastric Band – Lose Weight Fast!’, ‘Stop Smoking in Two Weeks with Hypnosis’ and ‘Chill Pill’ apps.

I believe that overcoming a debilitating illness myself using mindfulness and hypnosis makes me uniquely qualified to help and guide others to do the same using the power of their own minds.

I am proud of my reputation as one of the UK’s top Stop Smoking experts as well as for being the co-creator of the massively successful ‘12 Weeks to Wow!’ series of weight loss apps and programmes. Our ‘12 Weeks to Wow’ apps provide a low-cost yet extremely high-value solution to losing weight without dieting and we have achieved #1 position in several app charts.
I design all of our apps myself. I am also responsible for all the editing and post-production work on all the audio in our apps. Another unique feature of our apps is that, having composed the music for several internationally performed musicals and achieved two #1s on iTunes charts, my compositions are featured in all of our apps. I am also responsible for the recording and post-production of all of our ‘Sue and James 12 Weeks to Wow’ podcast shows.

Our weight loss programmes have been featured on the popular Channel 4 show, ‘How to Lose Weight Well’. Many of our successful weight loss clients and app users have been featured in newspapers and magazines as well as on several local radio stations.

Feel free to contact me by either calling 0800 970 4776 or emailing me at info@jamesholmes.co.uk. I look forward to hearing from you.

Joanne bevis

D.Hyp

My name is Joanna Bevis and I am a professional Client-Centred Hypnotherapist and Hypnoanalyst. I have a particular interest in working with anxiety, stress, and depression along with the associated issues that these conditions can underpin. Hypnotherapy gives you the power to cut negative ties, thoughts, and behaviours once and for all, truly letting go and enabling you to move forward calm, confident, and in control.

 Being a manager of people for many years I have always been one to devote my time to my staff’s needs by talking, listening, and nurturing them through their careers, personal worries, and beyond. In recent years it has become more and more apparent how much anxiety and stress are now such a hugely toxic part of so many people’s daily lives. I felt the natural step for me was to get professionally trained in so I could help people achieve real positive change in the way they feel.

Using Hypno Analysis and Hypnotherapist Psychodynamic techniques I can help you uncover blockages and work through underlying issues often undetected at a conscious level. I am also a qualified Parts and Ego States Therapist, which is an excellent tool to resolve internal conflicts, allowing you to move forwards unhindered towards your goals. I also facilitate Past Life Regressions which are a gentle form of hypnotherapy taking the client back to memories of past lives. This can help you understand why you may be drawn to certain places, people, or vocations. As well as uncovering the message you needed to learn in that life that will help you through your issues in this one.

Your bespoke sessions are tailored specifically for your needs and what you want to achieve with a kind, caring, and holistic approach. Working together you can be free of past negative programming and look forward to living your life feeling calm, confident, and in control. I feel blessed that I can now share the peace, healing, and change that hypnotherapy can achieve.

I am very passionate about the positive changes we can make and look forward to meeting you at Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre.

PATSY CAIN

Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD), Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH)

Hello, I'm Patsy, a qualified and accredited Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. I practice a contemporary and psychotherapeutic solution-driven approach that centres on self-development and the fundamental belief that each individual already possesses the necessary inner resources to overcome their perceived challenges and behaviours. This method primarily involves conversation and incorporates a blend of hypnosis, psychotherapy and neuro-linguistic techniques (NLP) to address unwanted behaviours and constraining beliefs, which may manifest as anxiety, stress, phobias, lack of confidence, low self-esteem, chronic pain, insomnia and more. Hypnosis is grounded in neuroscience and extensive research and, in many ways, mirrors a common and relatable experience, similar to daydreaming.

I remain committed to my professional growth and have pursued specialised training in NICE-endorsed Gut Directed Hypnotherapy, a methodology aimed at alleviating and managing the adverse effects of IBS in both adults and children. Additionally, I've earned a Diploma in Medical Hypnotherapy, broadening my knowledge and skills.

Every client I work with contributes to my ongoing personal development. It's a privilege for me to assist individuals who take those initial, inquisitive steps toward hypnotherapy and positive transformation. My objective is to help you assess your current position, envision your future, and provide the support needed to bring that vision to life. This process is positive and entirely natural, taking place in a secure, confidential, and non-judgmental setting. The individually tailored therapy plan and collaborative relationship that develops are of paramount significance, guiding clients toward their desired changes and enhanced well-being.

My journey into hypnotherapy, much like that of many colleagues, has not followed a direct path. In addition to my theoretical knowledge and qualifications, I draw on personal life experiences to execute my role to the best of my ability. So, if you find yourself at a point where you're ready for change and improved well-being, perhaps exploring hypnotherapy with me could be the therapeutic avenue to help you achieve these goals.

HANNAH FRENCH

Prof. Dip. Hypnotherapy, Certificate in Hypnotherapy for Children

Hello, I'm Hannah, a professional hypnotherapist registered and accredited with the National Hypnotherapy Society.

I'm here to assist you in addressing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, fears, phobias, weight management, self-defeating behaviours, and more. My expertise also extends to working with children between the ages of 5 and 17.

During our partnership, I will tailor your sessions to meet your specific needs, enabling you to reach your hypnotherapy goals. My goal is to help you break free from negative thought patterns and habits that may be holding you back from realising your full potential, replacing them with more positive and constructive thought patterns.

We will proceed at your own pace because you are the ultimate authority on your own experiences and have the power to make meaningful changes. I'm here to guide you in discovering your inner strength by creating a safe and welcoming therapeutic environment where you can openly express yourself without the fear of judgment.

Together, through repetition and your commitment, we can bring about transformative change, addressing the factors that may have been hindering you from reaching your full potential. I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with you and help you unlock your inner strength, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and enriched life that brings you contentment.

Let's embark on this journey towards positive change together.

Hello my name is Gavin and I am an experienced Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist registered with and accredited by the National Council For Hypnotherapy (NCH). I collaborate with my clients to help them identify their goal(s) and then I facilitate their sessions with me to help them achieve their goal(s). I have helped my clients with a variety of issues and I tailor each session to suit my client as each person and their issue is unique. I follow the principle of having an “Unconditional Positive Regard” for the clients I work with; in other words I leave any preconceptions, beliefs, prejudices to one side and just use all my experience and skills to work with, and support, the person in front of me. 

Prior to qualifying as a Hypnotherapist, I had a career as a Chartered Tax Adviser in the corporate professional services sector, where I always had a People focussed role, for example, People Manager, Mentor and Career Coach.  I am frequently labelled a “People Person” as I have always had a natural genuine desire to help people throughout my personal Life and my professional services career. One example of this is that I volunteer as a Hypnotherapist at the Macmillan Centre based in The University Hospital Southampton, working alongside other therapists to support patients and their families and friends. I also have a counselling qualification and I bring all of this plus my Life experience to bear when I am working with my clients via Hypnotherapy.

The satisfaction I feel when I have helped someone to truly change their Life for the better never diminishes and I look forward to working with you.
