Samantha Hypnotherapy is based at Wisteria Lodge which is nestled within the beautiful gardens of the Old Forge in Platts Heath on the outskirts of Maidstone offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.
Formerly based at Lenham Court in Lenham I am delighted to welcome clients to this tranquil quiet setting. Samantha Hypnotherapy is a moment’s drive from the hustle and bustle of Maidstone town where you can truly switch off and reset your mind. As you walk down the steps of the beautiful gardens you will be greeted by breathtaking views of rolling countryside, instantly inviting you to slow down, breathe and leave the stresses of everyday life behind. You will find the moment you arrive the peaceful surroundings create the perfect environment to relax, unwind and experience the calming benefits of hypnotherapy.
You are visiting my website as you have decided that now is the right time in your life to seek positive change. Whether this is to help you overcome anxiety, depression or stress, be free of panic attacks, improve your confidence/self-esteem, eliminate habits, overcome phobias, stop smoking, control your anger or lose weight, I am here to help get you back on the right track to feeling like you again. I really understand that for some people just making this first step is so hard but rest assured once you meet me your mind will be put at ease.
I offer an initial consultation for £60 for you to come along and explain what is troubling you. At this session I will ask you several questions about your problems, when/where they started/how long etc to enable me to get the best possible outcome for you from the treatment. By gathering as much information as I can, I will then outline a treatment plan giving you an idea of what I am planning to do at each session. Sometimes the treatment plan can change along the way as we make progress. Quite often once you start to feel better in one area, naturally all of the other areas fall in place.

I honestly can’t thank Samantha enough for everything she’s done for my daughter. When we first came to her, my daughter’s emetophobia was having such a huge impact on her daily life, and we felt unsure where to turn. From our very first session, Samantha was so kind and understanding. She made my daughter feel completely at ease. The difference we’ve seen has been amazing. My daughter is so much calmer, more confident and she’s doing things she never thought she’d be able to do again like eating out at restaurants without being overwhelmed by anxiety. Seeing her enjoy those moments again has meant the world to us. I recommend 10/10🥰Posted on Google![]()

Sam has been amazing. I was a little sceptical about whether this could work and to say that I’m blown away by the results is an understatement. Sam is super knowledgeable, patient and genuinely understands what needs working on. The additional benefit of getting the session recordings to re-listen to is a great way to really help with your progression. If you’re thinking about hypnotherapy, don’t bother looking at talking to anyone else. 10/10. Thanks Sam.Posted on Google![]()

Sam has been fabulous in helping my daughter with emetophobia/anxiety & confidence. Having never used hypnotherapy before myself, I found Sam through a google search, and reading such great reviews - we gave it a try! My daughter has seen some great changes to her day to day life (without even realising herself) and would say it’s has had a very positive impact on her. I would recommend to anyone considering hypnotherapy. Sam is very professional and informative about the sessions while always tailoring it to the needs of my daughter (aged 12). Thank you for all your support Sam.😁Posted on Google![]()

I recently completed a course of hypnotherapy with Sam around some travel anxiety I’ve had, and couldn’t be more happy with how it went. Sam was great at explaining how it worked, what each session would look like and I really noticed how much calmer I was after a recent trip, and i’m feeling less anxious for upcoming trips knowing I know have the tools to help me! Would highly recommend Sam to anyone wanting to get some help!Posted on Google![]()

Sam was absolutely amazing. I was initially a bit nervous because the sessions were for my daughter, but she quickly put her at ease and made her feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable. Since starting, my daughter hasn’t looked back. Sam’s ability to communicate and connect is truly incredible, and she works wonders. I would highly recommend her—and I already have!Posted on Google![]()

I can highly recommend Samantha Hypnotherapy. My recent therapy for anxiety around a surgery I'm scheduled to have has really made a difference. Having had hypnotherapy for weight loss years ago with a different therapist, I had poor results. Having the recordings of the sessions is also a bonus and very helpful. I've definitely achieved my goals thanks to Sam.Posted on Google![]()

My experience was brilliant I would definitely recommend it helps to stop vaping,smoking,anger management. The best experience
At the consultation I will give you an idea of how many sessions you are likely to need, explain how hypnotherapy works and how it is likely to make you feel. It is my aim to help you feel comfortable and at ease with me and to assure you that together we can seek the positive change that you are seeking. I will also answer any questions you may have.
It’s only natural that you may be feeling a little nervous or apprehensive about what to expect when we first meet for the consultation. With this in mind you are more than welcome to bring your partner or anyone you feel comfortable bringing. *I can assure you that once you have met me and shared your issue you will walk away feeling like a weight has been lifted and looking forward to starting treatment.
Hypnotherapy is such a relaxing experience, I often refer to it as a massage of the mind. To reflect this I have done my best to create an environment at my clinic that has a calming and relaxing feel to create that inner peace to compliment your therapy.
If you haven’t experienced hypnosis before it’s only natural that you will have lots of questions which I can answer at the consultation. I promise I can’t make you dance like a chicken and certainly won’t wave a watch in your face.
