About Kerry Seymour

I work with people who are struggling with a mental or physical issue that means life can feel like a daily battle.

I help you to understand how your brain works so you can take back control from negative thoughts or behaviour patterns. I’ll enable you to reduce stress and anxiety, boost your resilience and create long lasting positive changes.

I particularly enjoy supporting new and expectant parents to help prioritise their mental wellbeing – from coping with fertility challenges, to creating a calm pregnancy and birth, and through into resilient parenting.

I am passionate about helping my clients to minimise anxiety and overwhelm, and to boost confidence and self-esteem, for both themselves and their families.

My Experience

I have worked in the mental health sector since 2006. I’ve gained experience in a variety of roles including research, quality improvement, clinical governance and business management.

I decided to train to become a clinical hypnotherapist in 2020 to be able to offer 1-2-1 support to people struggling with their mental wellbeing. Since then, I have grown a busy therapy practice. I offer both online and in-person sessions from my practice room for hypnotherapy in Weston-super-Mare.

Yvonne Kearl

Kerry was really helpful and friendly, hypnotherapy was something new for me and I'm so glad I went ahead with it.

Response from the owner: Thank you Yvonne - I'm so pleased your found the sessions helpful!

Marie Degi

I found Kerry incredibly helpful and have learnt so much in the sessions from her that was not only useful for the issue I have addressed with her, but I can also utilise in the future for other things. I definitely recommend her!

Response from the owner: Thank you Marie - it was a pleasure working with you! I'm pleased to hear that you're continuing to use the knowledge and tools you learnt during your sessions.

Eleanor Baker

My son struggled with needle phobia. It was his choice to try hypnotherapy so he could move forward with dental extractions so he could have braces fitted. He wanted to be able to face the procedure calmly and be in control, instead of having a terror of the needles and feeling panicked. Over a series of sessions Kerry provided him with the tools he needed and he confidently and calmly had his teeth extracted. I was incredibly proud of his achievement and delighted with how well things went. I can't thank Kerry enough for helping us get to this stage.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review - it was a pleasure to work with your son and to hear about his success at the dentist!

Clair Haycraft

I chose to see a hypnotherapist because I had been having panic attacks when driving on the motorway, and I wanted to work on that. After the first meeting with Kerry, I realised I would benefit from some help with general anxiety as well as panic attacks on the motorway.Straight away, it felt like I was doing something good for myself, Kerry was calm and friendly, and she took me through the process and what to expect step by step. I found the educational parts of the session fascinating. Her positive encouragement and reassurance kept me feeling like I was moving in the right direction.I’m now much more relaxed, confident, and optimistic than I was before. I can drive on the motorway and have learnt many skills to implement for future journeys. Sharing the ‘what’s been goods’ was always a lovely experience and something I’ll continue to keep a record of.I’d recommend hypnotherapy to anyone; I honestly think anyone would benefit from working with Kerry, she is so knowledgeable and passionate about the brain, and this shines through during every session.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words Clair - I'm so pleased you found the sessions and the tools so valuable! It's been a pleasure working with you and sharing in your successes!

Leanne, Pook

We sought Kerry's expertise to help our daughter build her confidence and specifically to complete a sporting routine that was presenting huge challenges to her. She'd done the routine before but lost confidence following a fall.After nine months of failing to perform this routine competitively, we were all (coaches, me) at a loss. Kerry was recommended by a retired hypnotherapist friend.Despite my daughter being a typical cynical teenager, she responded to Kerry's relaxed and engaging style and completed her nightly exercises. This was enlightening for me too, getting a glimpse of those little things that make her day better.My daughter opted for fortnightly sessions and these were completed in a very relaxed manner which was ideally suited to my teen.The outcome was that my daughter successfully performed the routine in the week before the last of her six sessions. This was in a national competition with a huge amount of pressure.I cannot pinpoint the 'turning' point but given the nine months of effort but failing to quite hit the mark before we sought Kerry's help, I am absolutely convinced that her input made the difference. Moreover, the benefits of this can clearly be applied more broadly just in the context of a sports routine but in all other situations where a lack of confidence is inhibiting potential. We are extremely grateful and will definitely seek Kerry's help in the future should a similar situation arise.

Response from the owner: Thank you Leanne! It was a pleasure working with your daughter and I'm so pleased to hear about the positive changes that you have noticed. Huge congratulation again for her recent sporting success!

Susie

I recently did sessions with inspired to change and thoroughly benefited from the entire process. I worked with Kerry over numerous occasions and everytime I saw a difference in my mindset, my attitude, my mental health and positivity. Working with Kerry was easy, natural and completely transparent to discuss my thoughts and feelings with. She helped me with her kindness and caring nature.I really could not recommend this type of treatment enough. I have really felt that through the solution focused therapy I have been able to diminish 95% of my problems that were causing my days to be mostly overshadowed. I believe you have to be open minded and work with the therapies and Kerry to get the full experience. If you are half hearted with your approach then you will fail to reap the entirety of its benefits. Take part and give it your all and work with the process and you will see that it pays off.I was not fully convinced to start with as I felt maybe this would not work. I had sought many different types of solutions and approaches and thought this would be the same as the others. I was wrong and I really wish everyone could understand the way I felt before compared to the way I feel now. I will continue with my strategies from therapy after my sessions have ended to continually improve on my health and well being. Thank you Inspired to change you have transformed my life.

Response from the owner: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Susie. I am so pleased you gained such value from the sessions - I really enjoyed working with you and seeing the transformation you created in yourself and in your life!

Dave Ackrill

I was struggling with self-confidence and felt I had lost who I was. I had got to the point where I didn’t want to accept where I was at for the rest of my life.I had always been sceptical about any “non-medical” treatment of any sort, but I knew Kerry before she started her hypnotherapy, so I already trusted her.Kerry has been very easy to work with. I am not someone that talks about themselves very easily, but Kerry has made it possible. Having online sessions works really well and makes the appointments more convenient rather than having to travel somewhere.Hypnotherapy has really helped and I am definitely in a different place to before I started. It’s given me better coping tools and I generally feel less stressed. I am looking at life in a different way, particularly what’s been good!To anyone thinking of trying solution focused hypnotherapy I’d say, give it a go! The initial consultation session gives a real opportunity for Kerry to dispel some of the concerns and explains some of the science behind it. It's ok to be not ok! You don’t have to accept who you are right now. There are ways to help you change that work.

Response from the owner: Thank you for this fantastic feedback, I'm so pleased you've found the sessions have helped. It's been a pleasure working with you!

Emma Ringshall

I had a fear of holes and turned to hypnotherapy as a solution as I heard it had previous success stories.I found the experience of the sessions extremely professional and easily enjoyable. Even though they were online I still felt the same as if they were in person. The sessions with Kerry allowed me to feel relaxed and reduced my anxiety as well as helping to cure my fear of holes. Even though I still don’t like the appearance of small holes close together, I can now deal with it and I now don’t have an extreme urge to move away. Also, I can now go near an object or thing that I found scared me in the past and these sessions helped me to get to that point.If you’d like to get rid of a phobia, I would recommend hypnotherapy and definitely recommend working with Kerry. Not only has she taken away my fear, I also felt less anxious and more relaxed every time we had a session.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your review Emma! It was great working with you and I'm so pleased you had the added benefit of feeling more relaxed with each session too!

Caroline Arnold

Big thank you to Kerry Seymour who I have been working with on and off for 18 months.I initially reached out to Kerry to help me remain as calm as possible when I got my eyes layered. The procedure went exactly as we discussed - smoothly and I now have amazing vision!I then continued to work with Kerry to help improve the quality of my sleep and for me to take more focused action in my business. Our sessions have been invaluable and the quality of my sleep has improved. It also got me into the great habit of 'what has been good', writing down what I am grateful for and taking more action (rather than faffing!).Thanks so much Kerry. I look forward to continue to work with you.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your very kind review Caroline - it's a pleasure working with you!

More About Me

As someone who has experienced the challenges of being a military wife, as well as family bereavement and postnatal depression, I know the value that solution-focused hypnotherapy brings. It creates a positive mindset that helps us to cope with and adapt to change. This hypnotherapy helps us to become the best version of ourselves, whatever life has in store.
