Your Questions, Answered

  • CBH can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, fears and phobias, low confidence, unhelpful habits, emotional eating, weight management, sleep difficulties, and the persistent feeling of being stuck or overwhelmed. It is a practical, solution-focused approach that supports lasting change by addressing the automatic patterns of thought, emotion and behaviour that maintain those problems.

    Rather than dwelling on past events, hypnotherapy concentrates on how your mind is responding in the present moment. We explore the triggers, bodily sensations and mental habits that keep you stuck, then use guided relaxation, focused attention and positive suggestion to gently retrain those responses. Hypnotherapy is collaborative and tailored to your needs. Sessions are relaxed and safe; you remain fully in control while we work together to create practical, achievable changes that integrate into your everyday life

  • Each session begins with a calm, supportive conversation to understand what you’re experiencing and what you’d like to change. We then work with tailored CBT strategies and, where appropriate, hypnosis to help reinforce new ways of thinking and responding. You will always be involved, and in control throughout the session.
