Sophie Parkin MBA D.M.H
| Clinical Hypnotherapist & and NLP practitioner |
Hello, I’m Sophie Parkin, founder of Courageous Minds, a practice I set up to support people to live to their true potential by making meaningful and lasting change an option through hypnotherapy.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or held back by thoughts and patterns that you can’t seem to shift, you’re not alone.
After years of working closely with people in business I have always been passionate about understanding mindset, resilience and human potential. You already have have the ability to change, hypnotherapy helps you to break free from what is holding you back and live to your full potential. My goal is to help you feel empowered, grounded, and fully capable of achieving the change you are seeking.
When Something Keeps Holding You Back
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, habits, fears, confidence, or emotional overwhelm, support doesn’t have to feel intimidating.
If you see yourself in any of these, you’re in the right place
Reaching out can be a calm and empowering first step.
Many people come to hypnotherapy feeling frustrated with themselves, exhausted by overthinking, or unsure why they keep reacting in ways they want to change.
You’re Safe Here
A calm, confidential space where you can talk openly and feel supported without pressure.
Sessions at Your Pace
Whatever you’re facing, sessions are approached with compassion, understanding, and care.
You Stay in Control
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. You remain aware, involved, and in control throughout.
How Hypnotherapy Works
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence‑based approach that uses deep relaxation and focused attention to help you create positive change from the inside out.
During a session, your mind enters a calm, naturally focused state similar to being absorbed in a book or daydream where it becomes easier to explore thoughts, emotions, and habits without the usual mental noise.
You remain fully aware and in control throughout. The process simply helps quiet the busy, analytical part of the mind so you can work with deeper patterns more comfortably
How Hypnotherapy Helps You Change
Many of the things we struggle with—worry, self‑doubt, unhelpful habits, emotional triggers—run automatically in the background. Hypnotherapy works with the part of the mind where these patterns live, making it easier to shift what no longer serves you.
Feel calmer in situations that used to overwhelm you
Break habits that once felt impossible to change
Reaching the root of the patterns
Reducing stress and tension
Lowers inner resistance, so change feels more natural
Strengthens new habits and perspectives through guided imagery
This combination helps change feel smoother, more intuitive, and more sustainable.
