About Me – Suzanne Teale
Hi, I’m Suzanne — founder of Unlock Potential Hypnotherapy, qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist (SFHD, LAPHP), and mindset coach.
I’m a proud Mancunian, mum to two grown-up children, and owner of one very cheeky miniature Schnauzer. With 30 years of commercial experience managing teams and working in fast-paced corporate environments, I understand what it’s like to perform at a high level while raising a family, supporting ageing parents, and quietly battling my own mindset through periods of stress, overwhelm, self-doubt, and — at times — physical health challenges.
My own journey has included infertility treatment, caring for my mum through dementia, facing significant health issues, and still climbing the corporate ladder. Through it all, I learned how deeply our minds affect our health, happiness, and ability to cope — and the life-changing power of accessing the right support at the right time.
That’s why I retrained, swapping high-pressure boardrooms for a role that lets me make a meaningful difference every day. Today, I help people take back control, build resilience, and feel good about life again — using practical, science-backed therapeutic techniques that work. Fast.
Why I Do This Work
For years, I watched brilliant people — colleagues, clients, and friends — strain under the weight of pressure from all areas of their lives: family, work, relationships, society.
Talented individuals doubting themselves.
Successful people too stressed to sleep or enjoy their lives.
Teams struggling to achieve results under the strain of pressure, workload and expectation.
Conversations I had over the years confirmed what I was seeing — and it wasn’t enough to just notice it. I wanted to do something about it.
So I retrained in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, a highly effective approach that blends Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), neuroscience, CBT, and NLP. It’s a powerful toolkit that helps people manage their minds, gain clarity, and move forward with greater control and confidence.
Now I run a thriving practice, supporting:
Private clients — to get unstuck and overcome anxiety, depression, low confidence, and unhelpful habits or mindsets
Groups & communities — with themed workshops on stress, positive thinking, and mindset management
Organisations — through corporate wellbeing programmes that boost mental fitness, resilience, and sustainable performance
How I Can Help You
I won’t ask you to dig up painful past events. My work focuses on where you want to be, not where you’ve been.
Together, we’ll create clear, achievable steps to help you:
Feel calmer and more in control
Think clearly and make better decisions
Build resilience to handle life’s challenges
Boost your confidence and motivation
Let go of habits, thoughts, and beliefs that hold you back
Achieve your personal, emotional, and professional goals
Feel like a better version of yourself
You’ll leave our sessions having made meaningful, lasting changes that you wanted to make.
Your Turning Point Starts Here
Right now, you might be running on autopilot — juggling work, family, and responsibilities while quietly battling stress, exhaustion, or self-doubt.
You’ve tried powering through, but it’s not working.
You’ve read the articles, listened to the podcasts, maybe even tried meditation or self-help books — but the changes never seem to stick.
I want you to know: it doesn’t have to be this way.
You can feel calm instead of constantly wired.
You can think clearly instead of feeling overwhelmed.
You can build resilience so challenges don’t knock you sideways.
And you can rediscover your confidence, motivation, and balance.
That’s exactly what I help my clients do — through evidence-based hypnotherapy, mindset coaching, and practical tools you can use for life.
Your first step is simple: book a free 15-minute discovery call.
We’ll talk about what’s going on for you, what you’d love life to feel like, and how we can get you there together.
