My main approach
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT)
So…what is Hypno-CBT? (watch the video to learn more)
Simply put, Hypnosis + CBT= Hypno-CBT.
Hypnotherapy and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy are each proven effective psychotherapeutic and evidence-based approaches in their own right. You’re not starting from scratch; you are building on an approach that has already helped many people.
Hypnosis is a state of highly focused attention, where your attention becomes more focused, making it easier to engage with imagination and helpful suggestions. CBT approves to be the most effective therapy to help you recognise and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, giving you practical tools to manage everyday challenges.
Together, they form Hypno-CBT, helping you understand why you think and feel the way you do, and learn new ways to respond. You will feel calmer, gain more control over your life, and manage your anxiety and stress with greater confidence.
What can Hypnotherapy help with?
Anxiety & Stress
Around 1 in 17 people globally experience an anxiety, 31.1% experience one at some point in their lifetime. You are not alone in this journey and there is nothing wrong with you. Work pressures, uncertainty about the future, relationship difficulties or major life changes can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, worried or constantly on edge. When these feelings become difficult to manage, they can affect our sleep, concentration, relationships and ability to enjoy everyday life. Hypnotherapy can help you understand your anxiety, manage stress and develop practical ways to cope with life's challenges.
Overthinking & Self-doubt
Do you find yourself replaying conversations, overanalysing decisions or worrying about things that haven't even happened yet? Perhaps you often question yourself, worry about what others think or struggle to feel confident in your own decisions. Over time, overthinking and self-doubt can leave you feeling mentally exhausted, stuck in the same patterns and unable to move forward with confidence. Together, we can explore what's keeping you stuck, find strategies that work for you, and help you feel more confident in yourself.
Specific Phobias
Fear is a natural response that helps protect us from danger. However, sometimes a particular object or situation can trigger an intense fear that feels difficult to control, even when we recognise that the threat may be small. Whether it's spiders, flying, water or another specific fear, you might find yourself avoiding certain situations or experiencing anxiety even at the thought of encountering them. With hypnotherapy approach, we can work together to help you manage your fear, gradually build confidence and feel more comfortable facing fearful situations.
How We’ll Work Together
1 First Contact
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to figure everything out on your own.
You can get in touch with me through book an enquiry form or call me (07895682228) to arrange an initial appointment. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, what you'd like to change, how I may be able to help, and when you want to start the therapy. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and decide whether my approach feels right for you.
2 Initial Assessment
I offer free initial assessment session, and it can take up to 90mins based on your time and needs. This is an opportunity for you to understand what is hypnotherapy, and for me to see whether hypnotherapy suits you. We'll also explore the difficulties you're facing, how they affect your everyday life and what you'd like to achieve through therapy. Together, we'll identify your goals and develop an approach tailored to your needs, drawing on techniques from Hypno-CBT and other psychological approaches where appropriate.
I will give you a free MP3 to listen to every night as you go to sleep, which will help you to relax and begin the process of hypnotherapy. This recording is an important part of hypnotherapy and will be used throughout our work together.
Subsequent Sessions & Ending
3. Ongoing sessions
In our following sessions, we'll work together towards your goals at a pace that feels right for you. Depending on your needs, we may explore unhelpful thinking patterns, practise practical strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, or use hypnosis to help you relax and develop new ways of responding to challenging situations.
I'll also suggest simple exercises for you to practise between sessions, helping you apply what you've learned to your everyday life. We'll regularly review your progress and adjust our approach as needed.
For the best therapeutic outcome, I usually recommend one session per week to help you maintain momentum and progress.
4. Ending Therapy
When the agreed goals of the therapy have been met we evaluate and wrap-up or when you would like to take a break. Your needs and preferences will guide this decision, and we'll work together to ensure you feel ready to move forward.
