WELCOME
Find Clarity. Feel Understood. Move Forward.
Welcome to The CMF Centre, where I offer professional psychotherapy, counselling, coaching and hypnotherapy from two convenient locations in Chelmsford and Harley Street, London.
Whatever you're facing — anxiety, relationship challenges, addiction, phobias, OCD, life transitions:
have life goals you'd like to achieve or simply feeling stuck — you don't have to navigate it alone.
I provide a warm, confidential space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings and goals without judgement. A setting where working out the best way to achieve your desires is both achievable and realistic. Together we will work out the most effective way to help you achieve your goals using a combination of techniques.
These sessions are not just listening and nodding. We will work on practical, achievable techniques to help remove unwanted, repetitive thoughts, changing physical unwanted responses and create new, helpful ones which get you on the way to your desires with ease. The way we work will allow you to make these changes for the long term, not just a temporary fix.
With over 20 years of experience and advanced qualifications in psychology and psychotherapy, I combine evidence-based approaches with genuine understanding to help you achieve lasting transformation.

Whether you prefer in-person sessions in Chelmsford or Harley Street, or online therapy from the comfort of your home, I'm here to support you and together we will work out the best, most efficient and effective way to achieve your goals
.
Psychotherapy
In-depth therapeutic work to explore the root causes of emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy helps you understand patterns of thinking and behaviour, process past experiences, and develop lasting strategies for wellbeing.
Counselling
A supportive space to talk through life's challenges. Counselling can help with specific issues such as relationship difficulties, bereavement, stress, or life transitions, providing clarity and practical coping strategies.
Hypnotherapy
A powerful tool for accessing the subconscious mind to create positive change. Hypnotherapy is particularly effective for anxiety, phobias, habit change, confidence building, and performance enhancement.
About me:
I'm Dr Sarah Berry. and I've been working with clients for many years using multiple modalities which will help people overcome obstacles and create meaningful desired change in their lives.
My approach combines rigorous academic training with practical, compassionate therapy. I hold two PhDs — one in Transpersonal Psychotherapy and one in Mindfulness — alongside a Master's degree in Psychology. This unique combination allows me to work with you on multiple levels: understanding the science behind your thoughts and behaviours while also exploring the deeper aspects of personal growth and transformation.
I believe that everyone has the capacity for change. Sometimes we just need the right support to unlock it. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma: want to achieve specific goals, desires or unlock new, more helpful thought patterns, we will work together to move you towards those goals in the best way possible for you personally.
I offer integrative therapy, drawing from psychotherapy, counselling, and hypnotherapy techniques to create a tailored approach that works for you. Every person is different, and your therapy should reflect that.

FAQ SECTION
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about what's brought you to therapy, your background, and what you're hoping to achieve. It's also a chance for you to ask questions and see if we're a good fit. There's no pressure — this is about finding the right support for you.
What's the difference between psychotherapy, counselling, and hypnotherapy?
Counselling typically focuses on specific issues and provides support for current challenges. Psychotherapy goes deeper, exploring underlying patterns and past experiences that may be affecting your present life. Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind to create rapid change. I often combine these approaches depending on what will be most helpful for you.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person. Some people find that a few sessions are enough to address a specific issue, while others benefit from longer-term work. We'll discuss this together and regularly review your progress. You're always in control of how long you continue.
Is everything I say confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is fundamental to therapy. What you share stays between us, with very limited exceptions required by law (such as if there's a risk of serious harm to yourself or others). I'll explain this fully in our first session.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, I offer online therapy via secure video call. Many clients find this just as effective as in-person sessions, and it offers greater flexibility. Online therapy is available regardless of your location.
What if I've never had therapy before?
That's completely fine — everyone starts somewhere. It's natural to feel nervous about opening up to someone new. I'll guide you through the process at your own pace, and there's no expectation to share more than you're comfortable with.
How long is each session?
Sessions are typically 50-60 minutes. Hypnotherapy sessions may be slightly longer depending on the work we're doing.What's your cancellation policy?I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with less notice may be charged at the full session rate. I understand that emergencies happen, and we can discuss this on a case-by-case basis.
Will hypnotherapy make me lose control?
No, this is a common misconception. During hypnotherapy, you remain fully aware and in control. It's simply a deeply relaxed state that allows us to work more effectively with your subconscious mind. You cannot be made to do or say anything against your will.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you're struggling with difficult emotions, feeling stuck, or simply want to understand yourself better, therapy could help. The best way to find out is to have an initial conversation — I offer a free phone consultation so we can discuss your needs with no obligation.

Curious but not quite ready for therapy?
Let the book be your first step.
Rewire Your Reality: Break Free from Limiting Beliefs and Transform Your Life. By Dr. Sarah Berry.
This book exists because I saw the same patterns — and the same solutions — change lives again and again. After 20 years in the therapy room, I realised the principles behind lasting transformation aren't complicated. They just aren't widely understood.This book allows you to access them too.
What if everything you believed about yourself — your limitations, your fears, your "that's just how I am" — wasn't actually true?
Your subconscious mind controls approximately 95% of your daily thoughts, behaviours, and decisions. It's running programmes that were installed years ago — many of them outdated, unhelpful, or simply wrong. These hidden patterns keep you stuck, no matter how hard you consciously try to change.
The good news? Your brain can be rewired.
