At Silvolutions Hypnotherapy, I help people overcome the challenges that hold them back and build the confidence, resilience, and mindset needed to move forward.
Using a combination of Solution Focused Therapy and Hypnotherapy, I work with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, overthinking, low confidence, self-doubt, performance nerves, phobias, and a wide range of other emotional and psychological challenges.

I found Sean through a friend who recommended him highly , I had tried other therapists first and had not enjoyed it and dreaded my sessions each week. I was promised this is not how it should feel and to just try with Sean and see what I thought. I reached out and was met straight away with somebody with great energy who listened and wanted to help and even gave me a first session free as a bit of a “get to know me and see if we gel” which was a nice stress free easy chat! I could not wait to get started properly and booked my first session for the very next day lol! Long story short, I was anxious on the daily, health anxiety and people anxiety, to be honest I just had it all round about everything (I had somehow got it into my head that all humans hate me and I was just better off by myself and that included my now husband and children) looking back through these eyes that I have now “post meeting Sean” I can’t believe I got to such a low point and never recognised that it wasn’t normal … I felt consumed! I told Sean I was broken and felt unfixable, he completely disagreed lol and we began!! I LOVE my sessions and looked forward to them every single week , he is very chill , no expectations of you and just really knows how to word things (I think to everyone but I can only speak for myself) so that you truly understand and can take it away to process , he never so much as tells you that you are wrong but he will lead you there so you can figure it out for yourself! I ugly cried sooooo many times and he is totally cool with that too!! You will take accountability for yourself because you want to! You will also learn that other peoples reactions are not your problem, nor are they something you can control (that was a big one for me) He is great and I have recommended him to multiple people , I know they love him too! I don’t think I know any kind of person who couldn’t take something away from a session with Sean! Give him a try. I am certainly doing well now. Sean lives freely in my head and he wins daily arguments up there! I cant thank him enough for helping me understand myself and my emotions the way I do today. I know how it feels to be happy, I have learned to embrace being happy and I absolutely DESERVE TO BE HAPPY!! We ALL deserve to be happy! Thank You for everything Sean x More...

Life Past the Post
In March 2023 I fell from my new (utterly brilliant) horse and broke my back in four places. It was a freak accident but left me, not only with the physical damage but a huge mental battle. I managed to keep it fairly well hidden but it stopped me from riding at home, I didn’t want to hack, I didn’t want to school or jump… Sean has helped me so much to regain some of my previous confidence and enthusiasm for riding and spending time with my horses. I would absolutely recommend speaking to Sean and seeing even if you have the tiniest battle, he can probably help. ❤️💪 More...

Thank you for the £50 Amazon voucher that I won in your recent competition. I waited until Black Friday and bought a new 100g rug for my horse - which I'd been hoping to buy but ran out of money after paying a large vet's bill. It was wonderful to be able to treat Zorro to this rug and he'll be wearing it at the end of winter/early spring 💙🐴💙 More...

Sean has helped me immensely in the past 3 months. His pragmatic and honest approach is refreshing, whilst the Hypnotherapy is more beneficial than I’d ever imagined. Sean was referred to me through a good friend and I was skeptical I could ever be “hypnotised” being pretty strong willed 😂 After my sessions with Sean I feel lighter, re-centred and relaxed. Sean has helped me with my personal, work and equestrian life and I feel I have had such a mindset shift since starting to work together. Highly recommend! 10/10 💫 More...

Even though I’ve been competitively riding for over 20 years now, over the past few years I’ve found myself having a total mental block at our biggest show of the year ‘ Horse of the year show’, after seeing a friend of Facebook recommended Sean, I thought why not try it in the run up to hoys - I can honestly say this is the first year in a long time I have actually enjoyed my experience there, which then allowed me to ride to the best of my ability and generally have a much better time than I would of done before, being so consumed by nerves!

Well what can I say, always a little sceptical whether online hypnotherapy would work, well I can safely say that I would highly recommend Sean and Silvolutions. As an experienced rider who competes, at a competition I suffer from nerves and also self doubting whether I’m good enough! Through the online sessions with Sean, my self doubt has gone and if I feel myself start to self doubt I can now manage it. Nerves are definitely less also. More...

I have been having hypnotherapy sessions all summer, and it is really helping with my confidence with my young horse. Working through the smallest details is really paying off. For anyone who hasn’t had hypnotherapy it’s nothing like what is portrayed in TV shows. 100% recommend More...

Sean has helped my riding endlessly. He can always give me reasons for why things are happening and solutions for helping me overcome my problems. I would recommend him to anyone who feels like they have a problem they need help with whilst they are riding, no matter how small. Thanks Sean 🙏🥰 More...

Sean has been amazing from start to finish. He instantly made me feel comfortable and relaxed and went above and beyond to help me, not just with my airport issues but anxiety, confidence and just being positive in general. He's helped me to stop over thinking and worrying about everything by looking at things in a different light. I've changed and grown so much as a person and I can't thank him enough! I love that I can just check in anytime I feel like I need help or a top up, (not that it's needed) it just makes me feel better and in control thanks so much Sean More...

Sean was fantastic. Empathetic, attentive, knowledgable, and more. I felt so much better after our initial session! Sean is a credit to your organisation.

I came to Sean with a severe needle phobia that had affected me for over 30 years, as I was desperate not to pass on my phobia to my two young children. Sean put me at ease from the first time I spoke to him, and I found the sessions very relaxing. As well as addressing the needle phobia, Sean also incorporated positivity and confidence, and I have felt positive changes ever since. I feel calmer, less wrapped up in everyday busy mum life and more present, appreciating small moments of joy. As for the phobia, after just 4 sessions I have been able to face my fears head on, literally, I tested it out by having Botox which involved 18 needles, surely the ultimate test for a needle phobic! I’m still in disbelief that I even managed to go to this appointment, let alone go ahead with the procedure and most of all, not pass out. I am thrilled to be free of this phobia and I now feel more relaxed and confident taking my children for their vaccinations, knowing that I won’t be putting on an unconvincing “brave face” that they see right through. I would totally recommend Sean to anyone, I don’t know why it took me 30 years to try hypnotherapy! Thank you Sean, it has been transformational. More...

Sean contacted me today by telephone and I found him to be an excellent communicator... empathetic, no B.S., extremely fair with pricing, and more. He put my mind at ease and dissolved any concerns I had about the process. Sean is a credit to your organisation! I have booked my first session with him. As he agreed, if it doesn't work for us, then so be it! If it does then we continue! More...

I had a few sessions to help with arachnophobia, as I was going on holiday to an area with lots of jungle. I encountered quite a few spiders whilst I was there, including two tarantulas, and I took a video of one from a foot away - I didn't freak out once. As someone who's had panic attacks because of them, I'm over the moon. I totally recommend Sean, and as he did my sessions via video calling, you don't even have to live near him. More...

What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is seeing people realise they’re far more capable than they believed they were.
Many clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, lacking confidence, or convinced that things will never change. Being able to help someone shift their perspective, recognise their strengths, and watch them take positive steps forward is incredibly rewarding.
Whether it’s a rider returning to competition after losing confidence, someone overcoming anxiety that’s been holding them back for years, or a client finally becoming smoke-free, it’s a privilege to be part of that journey. Seeing people leave sessions feeling calmer, more hopeful, and more in control than when they arrived is what makes this work so worthwhile.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’ve always been fascinated by people, why we think the way we do, why some people thrive under pressure while others struggle, and how small changes in mindset can have a huge impact on confidence, wellbeing, and performance.
Setting up my own practice gave me the opportunity to combine that interest with a genuine desire to help others. I wanted to create a supportive, judgement-free space where people could talk openly about what was holding them back and learn practical ways to move forward.
Over the years I’ve seen first-hand how anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and overthinking can affect every area of life, from relationships and careers to sport and hobbies. Building my own business has allowed me to work with a wide variety of clients and help them develop the confidence, resilience, and skills needed to achieve the changes they’re looking for.
Why should our clients choose you?
Choosing the right therapist is a very personal decision, and I believe one of the most important factors is finding someone you feel comfortable talking to.
My approach combines Solution Focused Therapy and Hypnotherapy, which means sessions are focused on helping you move towards the future you want rather than dwelling on what’s gone wrong in the past. Clients often tell me they appreciate the relaxed, supportive, and down-to-earth nature of my sessions, where they can talk openly without fear of judgement.
I work with people from all walks of life, supporting them with anxiety, confidence, stress, overthinking, performance pressure, smoking cessation, and a range of other challenges. Alongside my hypnotherapy training, I am also studying psychology, allowing me to draw on both practical experience and evidence-based understanding of how the mind works.
Every client is treated as an individual, and every session is tailored to their specific goals, strengths, and circumstances. My aim is not simply to help you feel better in the moment, but to help you develop the confidence and resilience to continue moving forward long after our work together has finished.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
All sessions can be delivered online via Zoom, allowing me to work with clients throughout the UK from the comfort of their own home.
Online hypnotherapy and Solution Focused Therapy are highly effective and offer the same supportive, confidential experience as face-to-face sessions, without the need to travel. All that’s required is a stable internet connection, a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed, and a comfortable chair.
Many clients find online sessions particularly convenient as they can fit them around work, family commitments, and busy schedules. Guided relaxation and hypnotherapy are delivered live during the session, and clients are able to relax in their own familiar environment throughout.
