You’re probably here reading this because something isn’t sitting right in your career.

📌 Maybe you wake up each day with a sense of dread, wondering how much longer you can stay in a job that drains you.
📌 Maybe the passion and excitement you once had for your work are long gone, replaced by a never-ending cycle of stress and dissatisfaction.
📌 Maybe you feel stuck, unable to see a way forward, trapped in a job that doesn’t align with who you are or what you truly want.
📌 Maybe the mental and emotional toll of your job is affecting not just your work, but your personal life, leaving you exhausted and unfulfilled.
📌 Maybe you’ve tried to make changes before, but nothing sticks—temporary fixes that never address the real issues, leaving you feeling even more lost.

If any of that sounds familiar, I want you to know—you’re not alone. I’ve been there too.

And that’s where my story begins…

Your guide to a fulfilling career.

HEY THERE, I'M STACEY BARBER

The Struggle: Feeling Stuck in My Work

I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Career Purpose Coach with a solution-focused approach. I help dissatisfied professionals align with their purpose and build fulfilling careers.

If you’re looking for a therapy style that doesn’t dwell on the past—one that’s light-hearted, positive, and even a little exciting—you’re in the right place. My approach is all about moving forward, making real change, and designing a career that truly energises you.

Feeling stuck, burnt out, or disconnected from your work? I’ll help you cut through the confusion and reconnect with what truly drives you—so you can create a career that feels purposeful and fulfilling.

For over 20 years, I worked in the city. Good roles, great people, moments of real satisfaction. But something always felt... off.

I know what it’s like to crave more from your career but not know what that 'more' even looks like. To wonder if a new job, a new company, or even a total career switch is the answer. To wake up drained before the workday has even begun.

I hit burnout more than once. Not just from the workload, but from doing tasks I never signed up for—or got paid for. Picking up the slack for those above me who weren’t capable, yet still took the credit. Getting caught in office politics that seemed to create more problems than they solved. Navigating environments where support was scarce, expectations were high, and appreciation was non-existent.

I pushed through exhaustion, hoping things would improve. Spoiler alert: they didn’t. Instead, I found myself running on empty, disconnected from my work, and questioning how much longer I could keep going.

The Turning Point: Learning & Discovery

I’ve always been a sponge for knowledge, constantly seeking to understand things on a deeper level. So, long before I trained as a hypnotherapist, I threw myself into learning—courses, books, personal development. I needed answers.

I wanted to know:
• Why do we get stuck in unfulfilling careers?
• How do we break free from burnout and dissatisfaction?
• What really drives us to feel purpose in our work?

Through this constant exploration, I realised something big: Purpose isn’t about waiting for the perfect job. It’s about understanding what truly fuels you and intentionally bringing that into your work.

I started focusing on:
📌 What gave me energy
📌 What challenged me
📌 What made a difference to those around me

Instead of forcing myself to fit into roles that drained me, I started aligning my work with what worked for me.

The Search for 'My Thing'

I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak, constantly exploring new ideas. But I hadn’t found the one thing that truly clicked.

I did all the courses, read all the books, even trained as a life coach. And while it helped, it still wasn’t quite it.

Then COVID happened. And if I needed a final push, that was it. I realised waiting for the "right moment" was pointless. I had to create the change myself.

The Real Turning Point: Hypnosis

The real shift? Stopping smoking with hypnosis.

That experience sent me deep into research mode (because of course, I had to understand how and why it worked). Within a year, I was training as a clinical hypnotherapist in solution-focused hypnotherapy.

And that changed everything.

Finding Purpose as an Employee

One of the biggest myths I see? Believing you need to quit your job to feel fulfilled. You don’t.

Purpose isn’t a job title—it’s about aligning your work with your strengths, values, and what truly drives you. I’d spent years searching for fulfilment outside of myself, waiting for the "right job" to fix everything. But the more I learned, the clearer it became: It wasn’t about finding a perfect role. It was about understanding what I needed from my work and seeking out opportunities that aligned with that.

For some, purpose means a career change. For others, it's about shifting perspective, adjusting how they work, or advocating for what excites them.

For me, it meant:
📌 Working in ways that avoided burnout
📌 Seeking out projects that energised me
📌 Finding company cultures that aligned with my values

Once I had that clarity, everything changed. I stopped job-hopping, stopped feeling frustrated, and started shaping my work to fit me rather than forcing myself into roles that didn’t fit.

And full transparency? I still work in the city while growing my hypnotherapy practice. Because purpose isn’t always about quitting—it’s about realigning.

Where I Am Now: Helping Others Find Purpose in Their Work

Everything I’ve learned has led me here.
Now, I help professionals escape career dissatisfaction and gain the clarity, confidence, and calm needed to create a career that fuels them.

Hypnotherapy didn’t just help me transition careers—it transformed my life:
📌 I quit smoking.
📌 I stopped drinking alcohol.
📌 I became calmer and more empathetic.
📌 I set better boundaries.
📌 I understood my triggers, emotions, and limits.
📌 I became more aware of my health and wellbeing.
📌 I prioritised sleep and saw the impact on my mindset.

And most importantly, I stopped searching for purpose and started creating it.
