About Sydney
Sydney Lewis works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression and relationship or intimacy difficulties. He also supports those managing sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career changes and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sydney lists hypnotherapy among his approaches and uses a range of talk-based methods to help people move forward.
Sydney came to counselling after a long career in health, fitness and wellbeing. He describes helping people find meaning and purpose as central to his work.
Background and approach
He aims to help clients spot what can change, accept what cannot, and find a practical way to live with that balance. He blends short-term strategies with longer conversations about values and attachment patterns. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural methods and acceptance and commitment work are used to shift unhelpful thinking and increase actions that matter to the client.
Hypnotherapy can be offered alongside these approaches when it suits the person's goals. Sydney has ten years' experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist and lists NCPS as a credential. He also notes a background of many years working in related wellbeing fields before moving fully into therapy.
Sessions are available in English and he accepts international clients. Sydney aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs and preferences, helping them set small, achievable steps and review progress along the way.

Online support
How hypnotherapy and talking therapies work online
Hypnotherapy is a method that guides attention and relaxation to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for habits, sleep issues, anxiety and managing cravings when combined with talking work.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions. It helps people live with difficult thoughts while moving towards what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand and change those patterns in relationships and self-view.
Finding the right blend is a shared task. The therapist will ask about goals and preferences, try different techniques, and check in about what helps. That collaborative approach makes it easier to adjust methods if something is not useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues during conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
