About Sharon Shinwell: UK Hypnotherapist and Creator of Self-Hypnosis Recordings

For more than twenty-five years, I’ve worked with people who give a lot—nurses, teachers, carers, and professionals in many caring roles. I saw firsthand how constant responsibility and emotional giving can slowly drain energy and peace of mind.

That realisation led me to create Self Hypnosis UK, a space where anyone can experience calm, professional guidance through downloadable self-hypnosis and guided meditation recordings. My aim has always been to make genuine, therapeutic hypnotherapy accessible from home—quietly, safely, and at your own pace.

If you’re new to my work, you can learn more about my background—and listen to a free taster self-hypnosis session—on my About Sharon page.

How I Began Working with Self-Hypnosis

My background is in counselling, psychology, and clinical hypnotherapy. Early in my training, I noticed how deeply the mind influences emotional and physical balance. By combining relaxation, focus, and suggestion, people could unlock positive changes that once felt out of reach.

After completing advanced training in hypnotherapy, counselling, and cognitive behavioural therapy, I began adapting the same proven techniques into self-hypnosis recordings so people could use them privately at home.

Every download I create is written and voiced by me, supported by gentle background music or natural sound effects. My goal is always the same: to help you experience calm and clarity, even on the most demanding days.

Making Professional Hypnotherapy Available Online

Not everyone can find time or money for in-person therapy sessions, so I wanted to bring the same benefits to people wherever they are. Self Hypnosis UK offers a carefully designed range of recordings that address common challenges many of us face. I don’t try to create titles for everything under the sun; I focus on the issues I’ve supported in practice over the years. And, unlike some suppliers, I don’t produce audios that promise the impossible—such as changing the size of body parts—because that isn’t how hypnotherapy works.

🌿 Habits and Addictions

These sessions focus on regaining control and confidence—for example, the

Sugar and Chocolate Addiction Self-Hypnosis MP3, which helps calm cravings and support healthier habits.

🌱 Personal Development

These recordings help you strengthen self-belief, motivation, and focus. They’re ideal for building confidence, improving performance, or developing a more positive outlook, such as:

Improving body image.

🌸 Health and Well-Being

Designed to ease stress, improve sleep, and promote relaxation, this category includes recordings such as Overcome Insomnia and Sleep Problems—a gentle way to unwind and restore natural rest.

🌼 Fears and Phobias

These sessions help reduce the anxiety that comes with specific fears or long-standing worries, allowing you to move forward with a greater sense of calm and control.

The Principles Behind My Work

Everything I record is grounded in trusted psychological methods. There are no gimmicks—just clear, compassionate guidance built on evidence-based practice. My voice leads you through relaxation, gentle suggestion, and visualisation, helping your subconscious mind learn calmer responses and more supportive thought patterns.

Many people describe the experience as feeling deeply personal—as though I’m right there guiding them—but with the privacy and comfort of listening in their own home.

Sharing My Knowledge Beyond the Studio

Over the years, I’ve written and spoken about hypnosis and self-development for BBC Radio, BBC TV, and national publications. My aim is to make hypnotherapy understandable, approachable, and free from misconceptions.

I believe everyone should have access to simple, proven tools that help them manage stress, sleep better, and live with more confidence. That’s what Self Hypnosis UK is all about—real techniques, real calm, and real results.

A Gentle Invitation to Begin
