Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural and effective therapy. It uses your focussed attention alongside heightened suggestibility to make positive, lasting changes in your life. Think about how you feel when you're absorbed in a daydream - that’s what hypnosis feels like.

Despite common myths, hypnosis isn’t a trance, mind control or a sleep-state. You stay fully aware and in control throughout. You can speak, move, or pause the session at any time.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis - it only works with your full consent and participation. It is safe and empowering as you use your motivation, imagination and attention to respond to suggestions.

In a therapeutic setting, hypnotherapy helps quiet the inner critic and - alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - allows you to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviour more freely. This combined approach with hypnotherapy can lead to insight and change more quickly than traditional talk therapy.

It’s especially helpful for anxiety, stress, sleep issues, low self-esteem, personal development, phobias, pain management and habits like nail-biting or smoking.

Every session is collaborative - I’m here to help you feel at ease, guide you through the experience, and support you as you work toward your goals.

If you’re curious about a practical, evidence-based approach to wellbeing, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy offers a gentle but effective way forward.

Hypnosis is safe when practised responsibly. You can’t get ‘stuck’ in hypnosis - that’s a myth.

Yes! And it works best if you're open to relaxing and engaging your imagination.

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is particularly suitable for mild to moderate mental health concerns.

It may not be appropriate if you’ve been diagnosed with certain conditions such as severe anxiety or severe depression, PTSD, psychosis, epilepsy, or eating disorders. We’ll explore this together before you begin therapy.

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) blends the structure of CBT with the power of hypnosis. It’s a modern, research-based approach to emotional and mental wellbeing.

I also draw on mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support meaningful change.

CBT is widely recognised for helping with anxiety, depression, menopausal symptoms and sleep issues. When combined with hypnosis, research suggests it can boost effectiveness by up to 70% (Ramondo et al., 2021).

CBH is practical and collaborative — designed to help you take action, feel more like yourself, and move forward with greater confidence.

Mindfulness in CBH includes present moment awareness, breathing techniques and letting go of judgement.

We may use ACT, a therapy that combines behavioural tools with mindfulness to help you engage with life more fully.

These approaches support emotional regulation and increase awareness of thoughts, feelings, body and environment - helping you respond rather than react.

This can be especially helpful for managing anxiety and conflict, as it allows you to recognise that difficult thoughts and sensations are temporary, they can be accepted and they don’t need to define you.

Used together, mindfulness and hypnotherapy can help you feel more grounded, relaxed and open to change.
