# Butterfly Mind-Works

Butterfly Mind-Works is a hypnotherapy practice in Uxbridge founded by Sara, specialising in trauma-informed care for survivors of sexual abuse, anxiety, depression and stress-related physical symptoms. The practice offers a non-judgmental, calm space where clients can heal without needing to relive painful details.

Sara draws on multiple evidence-based approaches alongside hypnotherapy, including BLAST (Bi-Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment), EMDR, NLP and CBT. This integrative method allows her to tailor treatment to individual needs. The BLAST technique is particularly innovative—using precise eye movements to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional or physical reactions in daily life.

What sets Butterfly Mind-Works apart is its specialisation in complex trauma work combined with accessibility for vulnerable populations. The practice explicitly serves children and young people with age-appropriate therapy for anxiety, sleep issues and emotional regulation. For adult survivors, the trauma-informed approach recognises that healing doesn't require reliving every detail—a crucial distinction for abuse survivors.

The practice also addresses the gut-brain connection, offering specialist support for IBS and psychosomatic symptoms through nervous system work. Rather than relying on willpower alone, Sara's methods help clients shift unhelpful thought patterns, calm racing thoughts and rebuild trust and self-worth from the inside out. This holistic, gentle approach makes therapy accessible to those who might otherwise find traditional talking therapy overwhelming.
