About Me – Suzanne Teale

Hi, I’m Suzanne, founder of Unlock Potential Hypnotherapy, qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist (MNCH (reg) SFHD, LAPHP, HPD), and mental fitness specialist.

I’m a proud Mancunian, mum to two grown-up children, and one very cheeky miniature Schnauzer. After 25+ years in senior leadership roles within growing, owner-led and mid-market businesses, managing teams while raising a family and caring for ageing parents, I know what it’s like to appear in control on the outside while managing stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt on the inside.

Facing my own health challenges, fertility journey, grief, and career pressures revealed just how powerfully the mind affects our wellbeing, resilience and ability to cope.

Through these experiences, I discovered the life-changing impact of caring for my mental fitness and seeking professional support when I needed it most.

That’s why I decided to retrain, swapping boardrooms for the chance to help people reset, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with more ease and confidence toward a more positive, hopeful, and happier state of mind.

Why I do this work

I've seen firsthand how even the brightest, most capable people (myself included) can get overwhelmed by the pressures of work, family, life and their own expectations. So many of us cope in silence—doubting ourselves, feeling stuck, or too stressed to enjoy life fully.

After countless conversations and seeing these patterns repeat, I knew I wanted to help. That’s why I retrained in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy—a practical, science-backed approach that empowers people to manage their minds, build mental fitness, find clarity, and move forward with confidence.

Now, I work with professional individuals, community groups, and organisations to help people break unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and rediscover what’s possible for them—so life feels lighter, more hopeful, and a little more joyful.

She is barefoot, wearing a white sweater and blue jeans, and appears to be enjoying a moment with her dog.

How can I help you

You won’t be asked to relive painful memories or dwell on the past. My approach is forward-focused—centred on who you want to become and the life you want to create. Together, we’ll set clear, realistic steps designed to help you:

• Feel calmer, more grounded, and in control
• Understand your mind and learn how to work with it
• Think more clearly and make confident decisions
• Build resilience to navigate life’s challenges
• Boost your confidence and motivation
• Let go of habits, thoughts, and beliefs that hold you back
• Achieve your personal, emotional, or professional goals
• Become the best version of yourself

Every session is about practical change and meaningful progress—so you leave feeling lighter, more hopeful, and equipped with tools that last.

Change Begins Here.

Right now, you might be running on autopilot — juggling work, family, and responsibilities while quietly managing 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.

Heres the turth: 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, mental fitness 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.
